Guess Lashley is dropping the title at Elimination Chamber

I do not understand how she is not paralyzed

I wonder if she's still alive.

Bad take.

Shane McMahon has great name recognition from an era when people actually cared about WWE. He has wins over a who’s who of all time greats; Kane, Taker, The Rock, Jericho, HBK, HHH, Randy Orton, Edge, Seth Rollins, and John Cena as well as wins over current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley AND Universal Champion Roman Reigns (against whom he holds a 4-1-1 record).

I’m sure you’ll agree that’s an impressive resume and the only reasonable choice to main event Mania. On both nights.

just throw shane off the roof of whatever building WM is in. that's all anyone wants from him anyway, the one big, dumb, impressive spot he does on the show.

I am fine with Shane being there, but he shouldn't be booked as tougher than 95% of the roster.

Ric Flair is now going through divorce #5 lol

I didn't think they were married

I had no idea he had that kind of a record, man alive!

Surely the Vince/Theory thing is just leading to an appearance by Steve Austin at Mania?

That's another theory.

There is a large chunk of roster in AEW that can’t throw punches as well as Shane. This is why I said there was pressure on them to actually be good, because when they aren’t it permits anything.

Shane is over, is recognizable, has a few things on his bucket list. Him being involved is not the most egregious thing in wrestling. Not by a long shot.

If I were the 17th entrant in the Royal Rumble and my name was Feedmedicks McMahon, I would be over.

But it’s not and you’re not.

I think it’s customary for someone to say something like “Who was even talking about AEW<s>/WWE</s>!? This thread is about <s>AEW/</s>WWE. You’re the only one making the comparison. :fu:”

What like a brother or sister? :shifty:

It’s a general thread. It’s all connected. AEW sucking allows WWE to suck even more, because there is no threat. They flat-out culled their boutique product designed to appeal to the hardcore fan, because who gives a fuck? The “no one even mentioned AEW” thing is just a defensive way to stop talking about the truth. :lol:

What ever you need to tell yourself to cope, Mr. Nerfect.

Davey Richards is doing gay porn now, just saw the pics on wrestlewiththepackage on reddit

Does seem to have a pretty big dong

Slik..


That is a mighty interesting Reddit you've been visiting.

Apparently it was just a private video for his wife

Bahahahahaha

It was hilarious. 'Daddy says Sell!"

So Matt Hardy has basically confirmed that Jeff was clean, was not concussed and just decided he was gonna walk out and quit in the middle of the match because he had enough. Pretty sure that throws the whole "THEY FIRED HIM FOR NOT GOING TO REHAB" narrative in the trash. They released him because he quit and they don't wanna waste their time on him any more.

And people are still stanning for Jeff. Shocker.

Jeff Hardy has CENA NUFF

Well, it’s certainly not professional, that’s for sure. But it is kinda brilliant in the sense that they probably wouldn’t have let him out of his deal if he asked for his release. The fact they called to try to get him back already would suggest as much.

Of course, I think employees should be able to freely quit their job when they’re unhappy and things like this can be avoided. Shame they aren’t employees.

It’s unprofessional as fuck. The WWE would have likely released him in the next wave had he asked for it. They didn’t even wait for his test results to come back and people think they called him back?

It’s kind of presumptuous to assume that he’ll get a job with any old mark after the conduct. TK would actually get the slightest sliver of respect from me if he told Jeff to fuck off and young Jeffrey was now in a position where he has to work somewhere for way less money than he expected.

I'm not entirely sure they called to get him back. I can believe the HoF induction, but with him walking out and quitting on them? No way they tried to hire him back. That's Meltzer talking out the side of his neck. And seeing as how the Hardy camp, who is the only (and obviously biased) source of information is basically touting how awesome it is that Jeff is a quitter in front of paying fans, I'm not very inclined to believe what they have to say on the matter either because they are going to sugarcoat it to help Jeffs image.

And as much as I like watching Jeff work, I'm the Nerf on the whole TK thing. If Jeff shows up as soon as the 90 days is over my respect for TK will go down. If Jeff doesn't show up in AEW, at least not for a long while, I'll have more respect for him.

TBH though this whole thing REEKS of what would amount to tampering in the professional sports world. I'm fairly convinced TK sent word via Matt that Jeff has a job in AEW doing whatever crazy schtick he wants that WWE won't let him do *cough*WILLOW*cough* and Jeff was like "Sweet, I'll go get myself fired ASAP, see you guys in 3 months." Fully expect to see him debut sometime right around Wrestlemania.

I think calling to offer him a HOF spot right after all of this is pretty telling of how WWE feel about him, and I'd guess that would leave the door wide open if he decided to come right back to work. Bottom line though I don't think it's something they offer him a few months after the walkout if they were that pissed off of him.

They were always gonna try to get him into the HOF eventually but trying to do so just months after his last match when he's not given the indication he's retired, seems like a hell of a statement on the company's part.

Saw reports the Riddle was actually scheduled to be the winner of the Rumble match but they went through a bunch of changes with the Lesnar stuff at the last minute. At one point Orton was scheduled to win it in front of his home crowd but he apparently told them that if he was going to win it to just give the win to Riddle because he is the future and has earned it. That didn't stick so Orton apparently tried to have Riddle at least be the last man out, but BORK LESNOR put his foot down because he doesn't like Riddle and said no to all that. BORK holding people down, surprise.

Yeah its weird but when you consider how hard pressed they are to fine worthy and popular entrants into the HoF these days it isn't really surprising. And he may not be retired from wrestling over all but he definitely is from WWE imo. And since when has being retired been a staple of the HoF anyways? There are plenty of guys in it who still worked matches after the fact.

Anyway, he's clearly going to end up in AEW. Not sure it will happen right at the 90 days (though he might sign at that point even if he doesn't debut yet) but I think by the summer he'll be turning up. This whole angle where Matt surrendered 51% of his company but he and Private Party have 60% of the board seats seems like a pretty clear way to eventually have him heaved out of the group and, presumably, that's when Jeff will come in.

Matt's said they're both in agreement that they wanted to end their in-ring careers the way they started by teaming together so, presumably, they'll be doing their thing for one last run that lasts however long they want it to and that'll be that.

And again, even though I can buy the HoF reaching out to him, it should still be taken with a grain of salt. The only reporting on it stems from Meltzer, whos reporting has consistently gotten less accurate especially where WWE is concerned, and the Hardys, who are going to do everything in their power to make Jeff look good.

Personally I don’t care how he gets to AEW. Why does it matter if WWE is pissed at him or not? It’s really the only worthwhile thing to do with Matt. Have a nice little retirement run. Cool enough.

There is no way that one or both of them won't be wrestling until they are way too old to. :lol:
