Was just thinking about WrestleMania, and I think I like the idea of Cody/Roman actually being on night 1. There’s something about it that just hangs an aura of change on night 2 and throws things into a new light. Zayn & Owens can go for the Tag Titles in the Sunday main event. It’ll make everything seem more “dangerous” and it will give the fans that want to cheer Zayn that feeling that he’s getting the “traditional” main event spot.

Additional drama: Owens & Zayn win the tag belts. Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa hit the ring afterwards and beat the shit out of them. Cody makes the save and then he starts falling to the numbers. The glass shatters and Steve Austin makes his way out. An impromptu 8-man tag closes Mania.

Austin can also be on night 1 and give Stunners to both Miz and LA Knight who argue about who best represents Hollywood in the WWE. Miz can do his hosting duties on night 2 with a neckbrace.

Let these shows feed and inform each other.

lol. wtf is this all about?!?!

The dude talking was Al Wilson (Torrie's dad) who was repeatedly trotted out for a Torrie/Dawn Marie feud.

The feud was cringe, and Cole and Tazz openly shat on it on the air, especially any time Al Wilson spoke.

ha! legit one of the funniest on air commentary features with "no context".

Dude died from so much sex.

Andre in that Battle Royal looked like such a fucking bad ass. Especially after breaking Lanny Poffo's face on that headbutt.

I wonder if its Foley inducting Kiebler, they always seemed kinda close and he mentioned on his pod someone asked him to induct them and it took him by surprise.

I didnt follow Mick or Muta enough to know if its possibly Muta?

Flair is inducting Muta.

Should be Sting.

I'd like to see the Simon Dean gimmick or something similar to it make a comeback.

I think Simon Dean was a gimmick that came along at just the wrong time - it was too late for that kind of 1980s TV fitness instructor to feel relevant, and he was doing it at a time when the trend in the broader WWE was (at the main event level, at least) more towards more realistic characters.

But a smug fitness instructor today, updated to be more of a TikTok/Instagram fitness influencer? That would be gold.

In today's world couldn't get away with "body shaming" fans in the crowd until they cried.

He was sooooooooo fucking great in that gimmick. Those vignettes he did were fantastic.

Feel like Chad Gable would be a good fit for this.

Mike Bucci was really fun to watch in the ring. Simon Dean was okay. Funny stuff that just wasn’t going to go far up the card. The gimmick would work better in AEW, since so many wrestlers look like shit. Have John Silver be his testimonial. Put Julia Hart in as the woman no AEW fan will ever fuck.

Remember the team of Simon Dean and Maven lol

Remember The Gymini?

I really should watch Impact again because now I believe in Joe Hendry

That’s the second Impact clip I’ve seen recently that has given me mid-late 00s Smackdown vibes. I like it.

I do not lol. Heel Maven was funny.

Lol i was a regular Velocity viewer.

Omg

Feel bad for female wrestlers but this behavior will never stop. The industry attracts far too many stalker types to avoid.

Didn't Rey Mysterio just confront a couple of guys recently at an airport about autographs just because they were going to turn around and sell them?

i think he just told them he would only sign one of the multiple things they were trying to get signed and clearly flip for money.

Roman Reigns shirt looks dumb

Holy fucking shit, have you guys seen the clip of hogan in the new season of young rock?

Hogan made a few appearances this last season, which one do you mean?

Oh the clip I saw made it seem like it was his first appearance

This gimmick has Seth Rollins written all over it.

I have Mavens theme song programmed into the radio in my car to this day. /damnposting

I don't know why but I decided to look up the record of Maven and Simon Dean

Including T.V and House Shows they went 1-13 in tags/6 man tags

Their only win was on Heat against Russell Sampson and.....


CM Punk lol

It's not a comeback from the heat section of the match; it's a resurrection.

What gets me is the sense of entitlement some of these fans have, like they're fucking owed what they're asking for.

Seems to be a bit of a reseller thing atm. I cannot fathom the idea of chasing someone to get a autograph simply to sell. It just seems scummy to me. Like one or two items personally you may onsell one day as a fan sure, the photo of the guy confronting Rey Mysterio with 20+ items is crazy to me.

I've got a few autographed items from wrestlers and bands that I would never consider selling. First and foremost, how would I even prove to a potential buyer that it's the real deal? Also, it's a bonus thing on top of what they've already given me that they didn't have to do. They'll forget about me the minute they're done with the exchange, but I'll carry that with me until I've shuffled off this mortal coil. It does seem scummy to try to make money off something like that, especially if you're obtaining it by being an annoying douche. Like, it doesn't seem like they're a fan at all, in my opinion.

I prefer asking for a photo. Not too bothered about autographed things. Certainly not bothered about buying autographed things... it only really means anything to me if I was there and they signed it for me. If it were me being asked, I'd sign one item and personalise it.
