Or he doesnt want to do a "just happy to be here" gimmick.

Love how all the marks are calling KO a sell out now. So much anger over this on the faceplace.

i think he was smart not enough room in aew roh gone who knows when japan will reopen. stay with the company that just cut all the other dead weight.

Getting mad at KO is dumb. AEW would've taken him in no problem and found room, he's a guy you make airtime for. But he's obviously happy where he is. Nothing wrong with that.

NXT 2.0 dead

Good for Owens getting paid. We have to remember these guys aren’t gonna be earning into their 50s and 60s like a usual 9-5er. If they’re gonna get paid then by all means man, take the money.

Lol remember when he did the leap to the top rope in WCW and then did a leg drop to the outside and broke his ass bone

AEW hardcores are ironically the biggest marks. Wouldn’t selling out imply you took the bigger money offer? AEW would have paid out the ass for Steen.

Owens is probably smart enough to know that signing with the WWE means he’s going to be more famous if he ever needs to go elsewhere later should they know reward him for re-signing with them when everyone is leaving.

Oof. Those are almost Rampage numbers.

That's great! That big dude is Moose Cholak. I don't know who the guy delivering the dropkick is.

Triple H looks way more jacked there than I thought he was early in his career.

948k for AEW this week. :lol:

Love that.

The WWE with an interesting flex. Roman Reigns has a new “Needle Mover” t-shirt. I think he’s the only full-time guy who can lay a claim to that.

I am absolutely mesmerized by that video of Koko reversing the power slam there. Like. Wow. He basically somehow kept the momentum of the powerslam going and turned it into a powerslam of his own. Getting that done before they hit the ground is absolutely insane. Probably one of the best moves I think I've ever seen.

Kinda wanna see someone else try to pull that off nowadays. See how clean they can get it.

What a maneuver.

Still crazy how close Koko comes to hitting the ground on the initial power slam before he just smoothly flips him over into the reversal for the pin attempt.

After watching it closer, it still looks like he reverses into a powerslam of his own, but instead of having his arm between the legs of his opponent he puts it in place to land directly into a pin attempt with his leg held up. Pretty damn slick way to alter a powerslam in general. Would be a cool move for someone to use I think, powerslam direct into a pin like that.

Sorry I am faded and rambling and still going on about this move.

Trying to figure out how someone would pull that off as a move of it's own. Could you reliably go for a powerslam via the standard upper arm placement but hooking someone behind the knee instead of the crotch hold without it being dangerous af? I'm thinking a botch might end up either hurting the person doing the moves elbow or the person on the receiving end getting a hurt knee, most likely the latter. Dunno. Just looks so cool in my head. Wanna see Orton do it with one of those snap powerslams that he does better than anyone. His version has always looked so much more intense than anyone elses to me. It looks stiff af even though it isn't. RAMBLING.

Koko was a really good wrestler, man.

Someone uploaded Terry Funk's Wrestlefest 1997 show. Haven't seen it before

and i just repped you for saying funk is the greatest of all time earlier. nice.

i was such a foley mark back in the day that i became a funk mark. one of the few old school guys whose stuff i actively sought out. him and bruiser brody. i remember bonding with destor over brody when i first showed up here.

might put on funk/flair i quit after rampage since i read y'all talking about it in that seanny asks gertner thread.

Forgot about that thread

Love Funk. Greatest ever.

it felt like a real precursor to the watch along

The moment after Flair-Steamboat 3 where Funk attacks Flair is legendary. The way he just awkwardly butts into the interview, kisses Flair’s ass and tries to weasel a title match out of him before pretending he was just kidding was great. He played the subtle weird, unhinged psychopath so perfectly.
