Jerry Lawler faced Enzo in a casket match last night. Lawler won via a KO punch with brass knucks.

It felt so weird typing that.

Just read that Kurt Angle thinks Christian might be the best to ever lace up the boots. I'm sure that will make someone around here smile.

St. Louis rumored to host the Royal Rumble

Does anyone have a clip of that dope Santos Escobar entrance from when he was the Cruiserweight champion?

Vince has aged about 15 years in the last 5 ffs.

Kurt Angle knows 'em when he sees 'em

Dude is gonna be 48 soon, had a 7 year layoff, and just put on a banger with the company’s world champion and looked like a stud doing it. He won’t ever get the fanfare he’s deserved but he’s a damn good performer and he’s still got it.

Makes me wonder what could’ve been had they gotten behind him as a serious upper miss card heel in 05 when he was cutting promos on Cena right before Cena moved to Raw.

I'll admit I wasn't that into him back then but I always knew he was a good performer.

After what he did the other day he needs to be in the HoF for his solo work and not just E&C.

You'll have to be more specific.

I was able to find it. It's from TakeOver 31.

<iframe id="reddit-embed" src="https://www.redditmedia.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/j5ote7/nxt_takeover_31_spoiler_the_wrestlers_entrance_of/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share&amp;embed=true&amp;theme=dark" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups" style="border: none;" height="494" width="640" scrolling="no"></iframe>

He really found a groove in that short time frame. His promos were good, had a new look and music. If there was ever a time to elevate him that was it. I’m not saying he should’ve been a permanent main event player. But o don’t think he was a lesser talent than Edge and I’d argue he’s probably a better in ring performer. They just whiffed on him.

He’s definitely losing at All Out but now we know he can go at the level you’d expect in an Omega match. And now I feel better about him getting a main event shot while they hold off on Hangman.

When he came out as IC champ and with his haircut for the first time I immediately thought "he's going to be a big deal for sure". Was already a fan before that of his singles stuff, but that just seemed to "clinch it" that he was "destined for greatness"

https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery...IC_2003_01.jpg

Biggest tragedy in the history of rassling that he never reached the levels of greatness he should have in WWE.

AEW should definitely have him beat Omega again at the PPV and start a new boom period for rassling.

They should absolutely not lol

Unless he does it by wearing a cape and hitting a frog splash

I don't think Christian will get the win because Matt Hardy is likely to get his big championship run soon and probably at All Out. Maybe Hardy vs Christian main event Full Gear? Ladder match?

awful. Hopefully Hardy can have a "Paper Champ" gimmick if they actually do put the strap on him. God I hope not. Then I won't have any rasslin to watch.

If they put the strap on Matt Hardy then the best person on their creative is worse than the worst person in WWE creative. No, just no.

That's hyperbole obviously but seriously I can't express how awful an idea that would be. If that's the plan they may as well put the belt on David Arquette. That would turn Dynamite into Wednesday Night Background Noise for me.

Arquette would be a bigger draw :D

I think Jordan X is just having a bit of fun.

Yeah Jordan is just pissing about. "Matt Hardy getting a main event push" is the same thing as all his posts about what a BIG deal it would be if Paul Wight got a BIG push last week lol

You guys it's all in Gavin's reports, I didn't write it myself. Gavin has been the one breaking all the big news lately on reddit. He has some connections backstage to AEW and I guess for now is one of the big leaks in the business. He foretold the Punk rumors, Bray Wyatt's WWE release, Danielson at Arthur Ashe and more. Gavin announced recently he will be putting up a new weekly podcast and newsboard, but it's all behind a paywall so we gotta take the nuggets while we can!

Its almost like he's after something with that newsboard........

Here's the laser pointer light show mentioned in the Cornette video. :lol:

Loved that iteration of Taker

Amazing character but fucking horrendous matches

I remember ordering a shirt they had on their site but I couldn't find at live events.


Had Taker drawn with an upside down cross on his palm and an upside-down pentagram on the back in the word "of". My mom had no fucking clue at the time because it didn't show up well on the picture.

The return of showbuzzdaily means the return of seeing how poorly NXT charts compared to RAW/SD/Dynamite

Also, for the first time in several years, there will not be a media call before NXT Takeover. HHH likely wanting to avoid any questions about the gutting (which is nowhere near done) of NXT.

Ric Flair has denied that he was photographed earlier today eating pussy on a train. Thank you.

The picture is very easy to find. You decide how much you want to go find it.

Alright fine.

Wooo :(

That's just disgusting
