They should just start RAW with that. How fucking great would that be?

I wish the full match was still on Twitter. It would make a great watchalong.

I think this was just dropped one day. Vince came out on television and was Chairman again like nothing ever happened. Such an AEW move.

Raw should feature some of the best moments from MSG history. Including Vince taking his first Stunner.

Which to me makes sense, the powerbomb was the only move he got hit with so why would it keep him down a long time? Enough for the pin but not much more. :yes:

Ive always hated guys selling a single move like they were rendered deceased by it but in that video herc just shit on it

I like the way he protected his head and made it very obvious, almost looks like he was laying back relaxing. :lol:

Quoting this because it was great

lol love Regal

Yesss. I played their Worldwide match on the Steiners watch-along a few weeks ago. Really wish I could get the Beach Blast match on there. I cannot put into words how much I love watching these guys beat and toss the shit out of each other.

It’s like the question was “What will happen when these two teams of brick shithouses face each other and can’t just throw their opponents around like rag dolls.”

And the answer from both sides was “Oh, we’re still gonna treat them like rag dolls and we will deal with the consequences. We give no fucks.”

Could listen to Corny going off on Dunn for hours. :lol:

Lmaooooo at the video illustration

The algorithm gave me this today:

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

I hope the guy who makes the illustrations for those Corny YouTube videos is making a living with his talent.

By the way, it doesn’t get talked about much so I’m wondering how well know it is… There’s a reason Kevin Dunn was bulletproof as long as Vince was in charge.

Are you referring to some of the video library supposedly being saved from a fire by Dunn's father, or something else?

No, that’s it.

I mean, I know Vince was cutthroat and would have tossed the fucker out if he had rocked the boat but taking advantage of that incident and being a yes man is what gave him a job for (Vince’s) life.

As much shit as Kevin Dunn gets though, I’m surprised that story doesn’t come up more.

I never heard that story before.

Kevin Dunn’s dad worked for the WWWF back in the 70s and was transporting some tapes when his car caught on fire. I assume because he drove like his son directs. He saved the tapes from the fire and since then, the Dunn family has supposedly been “guaranteed” work by the McMahon family.

Stephanie should be far enough removed from that family promise to say “fuck that shit” though.

So he's had a job all this time because his dad almost destroyed a priceless video library.

Fucking what

The rumor is that it’s contributed. He’s also a major kiss-ass and his team does do a good job with production when it comes to packages, collections, etc. His direction with the cameras and views on wrestling suck, but are also probably tailored towards Vince too.

Madusa was on NWA and NXT on the same night this week.

lol right? Im gonna go set some videos on fire and then save them and get a cushy job forever.

TBF, I've never heard that Dunn's father actually caused the car fire, though I suppose it's possible. I guess Vince felt that, no matter who, if anyone, was at fault for the car fire, that by potentially risking his life or serious injury, Vince owed Dunn's father, which is understandable.

I don't think it's reasonable to keep Kevin Dunn on in the role he has currently with how creatively bad the camera work is even if Kevin's good at his job. That's probably occurred because Kevin Dunn is essentially one of Vince's "yes men" who will do what Vince prefers without pushing back even if he does disagree with Vince's creative vision, and/or Dunn might know some of Vince's secrets too. If Vince just wanted to keep Kevin on staff because of Dunn's father, he could've easily kept Kevin on at the same salary doing something else.

Riddle vs Rollins has been pulled from SummerSlam

boy they wait until the last minute to run the fake injury angle on Riddle here.
