I dunno what it was called and I didn't watch any. Low res is worthless now.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Argentinian wrestling used to have a character called The Man Who Carries a Block of Ice, something that was never explained to the fans, who would do a lap of the ring with his block of ice, and now this is all I'm going to think about all day. <a href="https://t.co/UwD24FdAUS">https://t.co/UwD24FdAUS</a></p>&mdash; mike spears (@fujiiheya) <a href="https://twitter.com/fujiiheya/status/1217809300543954945?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 16, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Argentinian wrestling clips are always a good example of the mental dilemma "Am I culturally ignorant or is that actually as insane as it looks?"

That's genius. Where is he going?

According to the Observer Newsletter, ticket sales for next weekend's NXT & NXT UK Worlds Collide event have been very weak or sluggish.

Same for next month's TakeOver event selling slower than usual for a TakeOver show but they still have a month to go for sales.

Also seems the boost of being on FOX and running shows on Fridays instead of Tuesdays has benefited Smackdown a lot despite the quality of shows being very hit-or-miss since the move. Before they were averaging around half of what they currently are doing for shows.

Konan getting slapped

Man, Konan looks frail.He took his hat off like he was going to retaliate. Think he realized he was better off just taking the slap.

Yep he knew he was on camera. Smart choice not to escalate that. Dude looked like he would have wrecked him anyways.

A friend of mine swears it was Psicosis who slapped him.

Well I mean it's in the title of the video too so theres a good chance it probably is.

I didn't watch that one, when I first saw it, it was on the What Culture news thing they do....so there sir. Lol

Psicosis that big these days?

Its a different guy using the name and not the original one from WCW and WWE.

Fightful recently release their report on Tessa Blanchard's issues during her time with Women of Wrestling that collaborate the bully accusations and her bad rep of being a pain to work with in the indies.

She's pretty much become the Low Ki of women's wrestling when it comes to the amount of bridges she burnt and level of bad rep on the indies.

Also the Owen Hart Foundation recently revealed one of the episodes for season 2 of Dark Side of the Ring series will be covering the death of Owen Hart.

I'm guessing there will be high hopes for this documentary.

Not to defend Tessa using the racist language or anything, but the idea of her yelling at a trainer and making them cry is pretty...weird for pro-wrestling. I get that it's a PR/be conscious of feelings time period, and in most lines of work I am completely for it, but come the fuck on, lol.

Tessa may have had a point there.

Got a cheap RAW ticket on StubHub for Monday

Are you making a TPWW sign?

no

sitting in first row of section 106

Not bad.

That's a great view! Glad you bit the bullet!

My condolences

Good stuff, I wonder if they had to negotiate with Martha and that's why it wasn't in the first season.
If they do this and Mass Transit they need to line up Abdullah giving people Hepatitis too.
Steroids and ring boys, Zumhofe and Sweetan incest, Grizzly Smith and his whole family and Hardbody Harrison sex slavery would all be prime examples of wrestling filth.

Is Hardbody Harrison the guy who was in the Louis Theroux wrestling documentary?

Jonathan Gresham has replaced Bully Ray as the head of Women of Honor and is now the head trainer for their Dojo, in continued "RoH Realizes What a Disaster the Last Year Has Been" news.

Steps in the right direction. Makes me optimistic for ROH's future. Between this, signing Scurll and Bandido, and doubling-down on that New Japan deal -- there are some good signs that Sinclair is starting to take things a bit more seriously.

Apparently FOX might have accidentally leaked the NXT surprise entrants for next Sunday's women's Rumble match.

FOX sent a tweet where you play a game by pausing a video and the superstar shown is your pick to win the Rumble match. Problem was they only included select women from NXT and not all of them, likely giving away the surprise entrants.

Potential NXT and NXT UK reps:


Would also confirm rumors of WWE splitting the Rumble match entrants close to the 10-10-10 split for the three brands.

Also likely did the same for the men's Rumble match in a different tweet.

Well, none of those are at all surprising. Shayna is a pick to win. Toni Storm looks great and is going to be there that weekend. Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai can continue their feud and get a turn. Seems like a nice veteran spot for Mia Yim. Kacy Catanzaro will do her freak spots. Bianca Belair is someone they like that can get a bit of shine. Io Shirai is Io fucking Shirai and isn't Piper Niven huge? There's your monster.

But it could also just be that FOX randomly picked women and put them into a thing.

Walter will face off with Brock

That would be cool. Might watch a clip of that.

worried that Matt Riddle will enter to a huge pop and face off with Lesnar only for Lesnar to quickly eliminate him

You should go out of your way to watch the interaction between Drew McIntyre and WALTER.

Brock ain't working more than 10 min...Brock will be eliminated in "shocking fashion" no later than entrant 5...probably Cain Velasquez to set-up a match in Saudi Arabia for February...

What about Heyman’s spoiler?

I hate it when the hard WWE truth comes through to spoil our fantasies on how things could actually be fulfilling to us.
