Ouch at the fat guy getting sit-out powerbombed through a bard wired door.

Emperor Smeat 07-26-2020 08:14 PM

GCW Title shot vs. Nick Gage GCW career match was great. Much better main event than yesterday's show.

GCW's Homecoming Part 2 show was wonderful based on what I was able to watch.

Droford 07-26-2020 08:30 PM

I'm gonna say this knowing I said I enjoyed the Full Gear unsanctioned match but I'm not really a fan of these crazy death matches with barbed wire/light bulbs/etc

Emperor Smeat 07-26-2020 08:44 PM

I like watching a death match every once in a while since sometimes they end up being pretty great but after this weekend's set of GCW's shows, I've had my fill of them for the foreseeable future.

Light tubes used to be the thing I liked the least about them but that changed after seeing a couple matches last year that involved scissors and blades boards. Especially after seeing one guy almost impale himself in the chest with a scissor. Think GCW stopped using those type of boards for matches after that incident.

To clarify, they are still going to run as seperate brands, just under the same banner. You're not going to see blow up dolls in Noah or anything.

Though you might see some of DDT's more serious wrestlers cross over to Noah.

Seems WWE dropped their plans for a new higher priced tier for the Network that had been rumored for months to include content from their affiliated promotions.

In a major shift from the George Barrios & Michelle Wilson era, Riddick said that don’t believe a premium tiered system is an optimum approach to maximize the subscription value. Instead, they are going with the free model to bring in new subscribers with the hope of converting them while also developing “local currency pricing in select international markets”


Also current rumor going around the net is WWE is looking at a potential outdoor location for this year's SummerSlam event.

With MLB, MLS and NBA scrimmages, I'd expect RAW to likely do an all-time low rating this week.

I just don't see how they can avoid that.

Yeah, next 2-3 months are going to be brutal for wrestling numbers.

Add in NFL and rumors of College Football looking at a Spring 2021 season and it might not be until next summer that wrestling gets any real reprieve from the sports onslaught.

That's assuming this coronavirus stuff doesn't take a turn for the worse in the winter.

Great to see you continuing your full-on racist twat gimmick. Nice to know you attribute believing one shouldn't be summarily executed in the streets by law enforcement with little to no reprocussions to CTE.

Keep up the shit work. :y:

If Sasha/Bayley is the new Austin/HHH 2 man power trip, im going to guess Sasha is playing the role of HHH and will probably get hurt and cause it to end too soon like HHH and his quad

Stuck in bit of a wrestling rut. I need a new long stretch project but I think I've done everything that I'm interested in.

Might do WCW Saturday Night 1998/99. Two hours a show is a long time to sit through C show matches . The 1 hour Worldwide's are way easier to do

Big Vic 07-29-2020 07:32 AM

Did you know?

The final episode of WCW programming was not Nitro and was in fact a WCW Worldwide broadcast.

Yuppers! Worldwide had become just a recap show by 2000.

Big Vic 07-29-2020 09:27 AM

Wish I could find a full version of that ep, last checked like 5 years ago, it might be on youtube at this point.

Lock Jaw 07-29-2020 09:42 AM

Oh, so Excalibur is a former rassler? I always wondered who the f he was and why he wore a mask, but they never bothered explaining or mentioning it.

screech 07-29-2020 09:46 AM

I think he's mentioned in passing like "I've been in the ring with this guy" but nothing more "official" than that.

I saw the “sign-off” of that episode a few months ago. Pretty odd.

Seanny One Ball 07-29-2020 10:46 AM

Picked a Worldwide episode at random and landed on Pat Rose immediately.
He has that territory body. Mmmmhmmmm...

Too Cold Scorpio and Marcus Bagwell was a weird team. Just flung together in red and white pants, dancing with kids in the ring.

The match ends with a 450 splash that couldn't look more out of place.

At least Scott Norton has interrupted just to decimate him.

Not a fan of Excalibur as a play by play guy. Wouldn't give one fuck of he was given the boot.
