Cody did in fact have a torn pectoral muscle and did in fact work the full god damn match like a champ. Once again Noid makes himself look like an idiot by commenting and making matter of fact statements before any concrete info makes itself available. It’s like clockwork.

There are a lot of blocked bitches in this section of the thread. A whole bunch of CM Punks. They think they’re droppin’ pipe-bombs, but really their diving into their own echo chamber and breaking their foot.

Lol Been too long since Derpfect desperately tried to convince the world he’s got everyone who calls him out on his bullshit on ignore so that he can save a little face by just playing ignorant.

It’s not the WORST strategy when it comes to deflecting from the truth. Maybe the rest of the SPWW forum vets should give it a shot.

Noid definitely reads the posts of blocked of users and he’s definitely going to ignore that Dave was right and that Cody did work the match with an obvious torn pectoral

To be fair, Noid doesn’t say Dave is wrong all the time. He concedes that he’s spot on when he critiques AEW or reports anything that can be perceived as making AEW look bad. You know what they say though: “even a blind squirrel can get Noid to agree with it when it’s criticising AEW”.

Lol, how did they even get to me and my views on Dave? I was shitting on the AEW/Punk situation per xrod’s posts.

I used to defend Dave. It’s become so fucking apparent he has no WWE contacts and is trying to smear WWE and prop up AEW. Whether that’s just his prerogative or because he thinks it will sell more newsletters, I don’t know. But does anyone even try to deny that now?

Dave’s criticisms about AEW are more relevant than his praising of them or critiques of WWE because it goes against his best interests. Fox News reporting a Republican scandal is very different to them trying to expose a Democratic one.

Dave Meltzer last night called Cody vs Seth one of the most compelling matches in pro wrestling history AND called Corey Graves announcing job one of the greatest announcing jobs in the history of pro wrestling.

It’s POSSIBLE he’s big on hyperbole when it comes to current wrestling in general.

Honestly, he's reached fuckin Stephen A. Smith levels at this point, minus the showmanship (even still, I despise Stephen A.)

I’ve been told I do a passable impression of a mix between Stephen A Smith and Shannon Sharpe when I’m drunk.

It’s basically just ranting about the Dallas Cowboys with an exaggerated sense of disgust in my voice while every once in a while throwing in a calm “Now, Skilp…”

SKIIIUPPPPP

I always put an “L” in there in my head but the sound that comes out is somehow the same.

I was gonna say the Skip/Shannon partnership is sadly the closest thing we have to Bobby and Gorilla, but let's get serious, that distinction belongs to Shaq and Barkley.

Either Bobby or Gorilla would have to be Skip Bayless in that situation and either way I don’t like it.

Yeah, I prefer it being Shaq and Sir Charles by a long shot lol

Matt Cardonna, Pro Wrestling's Biggest Pussy?
 

Cardona you may know recently suffered a bicep tear forcing him to cancel upcoming appearances for the global brand Youtube brand NWA. Last night Cody Rhodes of AEW and WWE wrestled with a ripped off pec, and had a 5 star all time classic. Does this make Matt Cardonna and the NWA the biggest pussies in wrestling? With no balls what so ever just cut off penises shoved up inside them inverted into vaginas?

Listened to Regal's podcast. Wasn't really digging it. Gonna give it a few more shots.

Torn bicep is still not as bad as quitting because of a foot ouchie, so no, Cardona and NWA are NOT the biggest pussies in wrestling.

I really set you up for that one :lol:

:rofl:

1) It always seemed like D'Lo took the Droz thing pretty hard internally and kept it there, and for a good while it even changed how he looked in the ring. Not saying *bad*, but there was a "lack of confidence" look on par with Sean Waltman after he got hurt and toned down the flying after... except D'Lo at least didn't start stringing together the exact same match week in and week out like X-Pac would.

2) Didn't know about the Russo perception, but I was one of those people who thought he would jump to WCW and eventually back, since he seemed to need the fresh coat of paint/change in surroundings. Might've helped him (ringwise) get past his "reservations" sooner, and he always felt like one of those guys who would get an upper roster push upon a WWE return after getting something like the "Lance Storm hat trick" treatment in WCW. There were a few people who could have used jumping ship to potentially better their careers. From both companies. And that was still at a time where people weren't "punished" for leaving.

3) Lo Down had potiential much like New Age Outlaws... but they got thrown into d-show jobber duty.

I dunno, but he does absolutely suck.

John Cena is going to be on Raw later this month. June 27. Celebrating 20 years. I wonder if he’s going to set anything up or it’s just an appearance they could jam in?

it is a pretty bad strategy, especially when he makes it so obvious that he is reading the posts he says he ignores.

As much as wrestling storiess get exagerratred i can see this being 100% legit down to the last word considering who's involved. :lol:

There's one from around the same-ish era where he hits this successfully...might have been the match against the two Japanese lads whose names escape me right now.

We need to do Steiners watch along sometime...that would be great

Lol, nope. A lot of this board is just so predictable.

Foley's podcast is really good. Will definitely be adding it to the rotation.

who is hosting it could not find it on westwood

It's under Conrad's banner of shows. It was pretty boring. Regal's accent is so soft with not much inflection. I don't have much hope for it

i just want him to talk about the kiss my ass club i found it on apple podcasts

Still haven't listened to Foley's yet...it's on the agenda for today and I'm pretty hyped for it

Cena looks quite thin for him in the thumbnail.
