Post a video of his NXT entrance so I can prepare. Thus one makes him look sub-Baron Corbin level

Not sure what I think of the lip sync thing but the rest def makes him look like a "big deal".... they could have at least given him that music....

I give him six weeks on the main roster before he becomes irrelavent.

Jesus that is dire

Lol Sasha Banks has outed herself as an antivaxxer

Ew.

Apparently that is not necessarily true.... she just shared something from an anti-vax Instagram account about thinking for yourself..... but she doesn't follow the account and could just be ignorant to its meaning and just thought it was something about being unique or whatever.....

So she’s either an antivaxxer, an oblivious retard, or both. Not good.

SD, like RAW, also dropped in ratings post HIAC instead of the usual PPV bump.

That is the key demo Jericho and Tony Khan sheepishly crow about. This is why wrestling will get bumped as soon as anything else comes along. It’s not good.

I cannot BOlieve it

I remember he had a match this era with Chris Ben... some guy. It was actually entertaining, and hilariously, Ben...some guy more or less squashed him.

Damn.

So AEW is the cool product. Tied only with old wrestling stuff.

There you go.

Who looks for median over average?

Reis could have been something had they not saddled him with horrific gimmicks

holy shit, that's four years old. jericho admitted he's a TRUTHER on his own podcast and somehow we're only finding out since he joined AEW how much of a douche he is

Vince McMahon attending the Dave Chapelle and Friends comedy show last night. It's so weird seeing Vince do "Human Things"

Vince looks ashier than Ashy Larry. Also, drunker.

90's AJW is the pinnacle of women's wrestling, and I doubt anything will ever reach those heights ever again.

Manami Toyota seems like she rules also... looking up clips of her

Her and Bull Nakano lit it up constantly. Her matches with Yumiko Hotta were also very good.

Also, Manami's selling was awesome. Looks like she's getting killed, without getting cartoonish like a certain dolph ziggler.

Has Vince had some work done? His face looks plastic.

I wouldn't doubt it. He looks like he's melting.

So, coming back to this.

Yeah....definitely more to it than just "thinking for yourself"

That said it's not exactly surprising that a wrestler who has a reputation for landing on her head every match and works in an industry based on lies and illusions can come to develop these views.

I think loads of wrestlers still believe UFC is a work. If memory serves, Gorilla Monsoon thought the NFL was a work.

Working in an industry that in and of itself is a work, combined with head injuries and the general air of libertarianism around wrestling, particularly at the higher levels.....definitely a recipe for bullshit there to start thinking the world around you is a work. Probably way more Drake Wuertz' in the business than anyone would like to admit, most just aren't outspoken about it.

I just worked out there is some classic WCW Australia stuff on YouTube. I thought at least Gerty might want to know. There appears to be some full episodes and some isolated matches.

For those who don’t know, WCW was the Australian territory that ran in the 60’s and 70’s under Jim Barnett. When it folded, Barnett would take the World Championship Wrestling name to Georgia Championship Wrestling, which would later expand into what most wrestling fans know as WCW now.

They used top American talent. Eventually they’d join the NWA, but they had their own World Title first — the International Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship — which was held by Killer Kowalski, Gorilla Monsoon, Ray Stevens, Bearcat Wright, Toru Tanaka and King Curtis Iaukea, among others. Most of the video seems to be from the period they recognized the NWA World Champion, with Jack Brisco getting mentioned a lot. Don’t know if the match is on YouTube, but they aired a Jack Brisco vs. Dory Funk, Jr. match on the TV show.

Do you have a link?
