It's terrible how she isn't used.

And outside of the great matches she could have in AEW I feel like their womens roster could just learn so much from watching and interacting with Asuka.

Please come back:




NXT Asuka
NXT Shinsuke




Watch them be some DLC or something with WWE2k22 - which I totes forgot about till now.


Guess they put up some screenshots of Edge and will have more to come at SummerFest

To be fair, Marko Stunt has fellated dildos in public and Kenny Omega has fingered buttholes in public. If that were Flair all he’d have to do was claim he was eating her out as part of a “falls count anywhere” wrestling match and he’d be good to go.

Taking the absolute biggest break from wrestling that I ever have in my life. It was probably the thing I loved most. People don’t get it and say “wah, wah, wah — don’t watch then.” Well, it’s finally happening. Fuck wrestling.

Fuck AEW.
Fuck WWE.
Fuck the NWA.
Fuck New Japan.
Fuck classic wrestling.

It’s been easier than I suspect. I’ve checked the news a couple of times and listened to some Cornette YouTube clips (not his full show, I’m even off criticism of wrestling). I think I might be properly done soon.

Thanks for the memories, wrestling. You got me through some weird times growing up. But it’s time I realized you haven’t been good to me in a long, long time. Fuck off and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

The WWE surely gets a lot of the blame, but AEW was it for me. I just can’t. The self-indulgent disregard of there being any sort of art to this. The complete waste of potential. I went from being optimistic about wrestling to seeing so clearly that this is not going to be something a reasonable person can enjoy in record time.

So a special big fuck you to AEW for that. And also fuck TPWW for housing some of the most insecure and gormless little marks. I was right when I said WWE sucked way back, and I am right when I say AEW sucks right now.

I’m off to read some books or something.

Yeah, wrestling is pretty "meh" and I don't think it is even possible to ever get me back into it at this point... had some hope with AEW like you, but quickly stopped... there are just better ways to spend my time. That said, I don't begrudge people who choose to watch and enjoy it.

Anyways... what books you gonna read? Any recommendations? Come on over to the Entertainment Forum and lets talk books... that can be your new forum on this message board.

About damn time bitch!

So much amazing old stuff to discover.

Enjoy your books!

Especially Thursday nights at 9 est/6 pst LIVE on this very forum!

Can’t wait to read your posts later tonight.

Noid hasn't been entertaining or interesting in years. Good for him (and us) that he's going off to find other people to annoy.

If this eventually brings back fantasy booker Noid, will it have all been worth it?

I know Noid. He’ll come back soon, quote posts like these and say that he can work you marks better than AEW or something.

re: slik's tweet, I always liked Ali. Him winning MITB woulda been interesting. And probably unexpected, right? Can't recall right now what he was up to in 2019.

They'll lose some of the current NXT fanbase but might get some new eyeballs in return. Sounds like they want more Omos types and less AJ Styles types.

Match quality was the only thing they had left

Is Omos even good or have a good look. He doesn’t look built. Kinda like Corbin where he’s just tall but doesn’t have a good body.

He's about as good as Giant Gonzalez.

When people leave Lmaooo.

Apparently he says they don’t want to live in the past, on a weekend where Cena, Goldberg and Lesnar were all involved in two of the most prominent matches on the show. lol if they’re not living in the past they have a funny way of showing it.

It’s pretty clear that Nick Khan doesn’t actually watch nor give a shit about the product.

I don’t blame him.

How many videos are on the WWE youtube, though? They likely posted it and forgot about it. Like I did that one time when I posted a whiny song I wrote. Oddly enough, I forgot about the ass video shortly after I watched it. Because I don't really care to look at CM Punk's ass.

Also, a lot of folks bring up the vitriol fans had towards Roman Reigns. A lot of that was a combination of the same Toxic Fanbase that hates everything that doesn't cater exclusively to them hating a guy who doesn't cater to them and having the misfortune of trying to figure out who he was during a huge push. I mean, Sufferin' Succotash, he was doing what he could to make the shit they gave him look good, but it took another good 5 years until he got to where he needed to be.

I mention Reigns here because the fans loved him until they didn't. They stopped loving him right around the time CM Punk whined about having to make Roman Reigns look strong despite having to beat 3 guys in a match. He whined about having to deal with Ryback, as well. Ryback was kind of dead in the water at that point, but Reigns was still there and still rising. So he took the brunt of the vitriol.

I don’t recall Roman being booed until the year he won the rumble. He wasn’t even branched off as a single until after Seth turned months later in 14. He had a match with Orion s summer slam 14, hot a couple of title shots via multi man matches, then got hurt. He comes back around the time Bryan came back, feuds with big show for a few weeks and is strapped to rocket to win the rumble that fans wanted Bryan to win.

Punks comments prob did sour some people in Roman, but that instant push with zero momentum and being chosen over a red hot return of Bryan, who was still as over as ever, is why he got booed. WWE changed their plans the year before. They weren’t gonna do that again and were dead set on Reigns v Lesnar. That’s why the fans turned on him, IMO. He had no momentum, no story, no rise to the t tu op. He just randomly showed up and got a massive push with nothing but looks to merit at the time despite a much hotter and huge fan favorite standing right there ready for Lesnar to destroy him.

They didn’t take their time with him. They just rushed to where they wanted their endgame to get to, and after being conditioned that hijacking the show would get them what they wanted, the fans revolted and it took them 6 years to get the desired reaction and the right character out of pure stubbornness and nothing more.

PWInsider and Meltzer reporting the plan is for Becky to be the top female heel going forward.

Lmaoooo but why and who is gonna boo her?

I think that will be the first time all 4 HW are heels at the same time

Has Ricochet appeared on RAW since MITB?
Has Liv Morgan appeared on SD since MITB?

Both were really over during the show.

Whatever happened to Angel Garza?
Whatever happened to Toni Storm? Didn't she get like 3 weeks of vignettes, have a SD match and then disappear?
