Wrestlng doesn't need anyone. It needs engaging can't miss tv just like any other episodic tv show.

UFC SPOILERZ

Surprised looked like he won that one round.

Punk got beat by a guy who doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.

I commend him for having the balls to get into the Octagon, but the dude needs to quit. This just isn't for him.

He's certainly no Brock Larson.

He got a ton of money. But yeah. He's gotta quit. I do wonder what's next for him. Or maybe he just fades into the abyss.

Punk embarrasses me. Please get a job at Pepsi or a tattoo shop or something.

Maybe goes back to the occasional comic book writing like he did for a few Marvel books.

Was he any good at that, though? Never read any of the stuff he wrote.....

Punk will go back to wrestling. Maybe not now maybe not even next year but he'll be back. Probably with NJPW/ROH

No clue since I didn't read them either.

Just remember a lot of complaining online mainly from people that either usually hated him as a wrestler and/or thought he was just going to ruin the comics.

Think he wrote an ongoing Drax series for a bit..... but obviously it didn't catch on or anything.... don't think it is still going......

He was winning that one round. Then the announcer said Punk might win this round. Think the other guy magically heard him. Got up and proceeded to smash punks face in until he was squirting blood everywhere.

I hope they mock this douchebag all during the MITB show.

In what way does he “embarrass” you? You’re a wrestling fan, ship sailed a long time ago.

Ever since Flair was hospitalised he really seems to have aged quite a bit, still looks and sounds frail. :(

Wut da hayell

SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUACKKKK

Jericho was awesome again.

Ultraviolent Jericho, the next phase. Dope.

Am I about to binge watch Sunday Night Heat from the beginning? You're god damned right I am.

I used to love the Headbangers for some reason. Not sure why.

Also, Yamaguchi San is ready to chop some pee pee. What a great era.

Damn, Kaientai could actually work.

What the fuck was AC Slater doing getting involved in the action on Heat?

D-Lo Brown was the shit.

:y:

He's up there with my personal favorites from the Attitude Era. Think most of my created guys in Wrestlemania 2000 have his head wobble as their entrance walk.

check out michinoku pro wrestling. Kaientai were probably the best workers in WWF.

Something warms my heart about Taka still working.

I had a dream where Vince McMahon vs Mideon was my fav match on sunday night heat and I was trying to convince you guys that it was the best match Heat ever had and "Rock vs Mankind" didn't count because it was "halftime heat".

My main reason for liking the match was because I liked the entrance set for SummerSlam 1999 and when someone in my dream said it was an awful match I responded with "It wasn't that bad".

I don't know why I'm watching Camp WWE from the beginning right now, but this is really rock bottom.

15 years ago today...
 

It's Seth Green. So...

It's even better that Nak both didn't understand AND is making fun of her, with all the grand command of the Engrish language he has. Fucking glorious.

"No more Mr. Nice Guy..."

When you read the below quote, try to think in your head about which former WWE employee is saying this.

Have you finished guessing? Final answer?

You're wrong. Because it's:



:lol:

I don't know who that is, but it reminds me of Essa Rios.

Bring back Essa Rios!

Rosa Mendes is a WWE Diva that never won a match..... Or maybe she won one by DQ.

She was pretty hot for a second, though. When Zack Ryder was obsessed with her in ECW.

Man, it feels like that never actually even happened. Did it?

She mooned people on smackdown.

I thought this was pretty funny. I remember seeing a few people saying this was a "jump the shark" type moment for them because apparently WWE cameras were able to go inside of Zack Ryder's thoughts

Well guys, it's official. I've accepted a free seat in a private box for the July 23rd edition of Monday Night Raw in Cincinnati. Pray for me.

Private box seats will make however bad it is completely worth it.

I mean, the free part doesn't hurt either. But yeah, should be fun.

My friend thinks the Shield will reunite on that show. Ambrose HAS to be getting close, and Cincinnati is his hometown. They'd go nuts for him.

I will wait for the cameras to zoom in on you in the sky box in a fancy suit while Michael Cole yells "IT'S THE ANYBODY THRILLA!!! BUT WHAT IS HE DOING HERE??!!!"

ROH currently planning to hold a show in Madison Square Garden next year according to their parent company Sinclair.

Also seems the next plans for the company is to expand their television to more markets outside of Sinclair's current reach.

Summary for the new Lucha Underground season:

"In the aftermath of Dario Cueto's incident, the Lucha Underground Temple moves to a new location. With the help of the mysterious "Order", the bloodthirsty Aztec Gods plan to wage war in Lucha Underground, destroy the world, and sacrifice any luchador that gets in their way. Can the seven ancient Aztec Tribes unite to stop them before it's too late? Only time will tell."

Got my tickets for SmackDown Live I won a couple of weeks ago today. :y:

You going tonight?

Otunga is missing

Wish Netflix or YouTube Red invested in live professional wrestling content. Is House of Hardcore still on twitch?

Lucha Underground is on Netflix

Oh! I assumed they were on the "El Rey" network and only their previous seasons were available on the streaming service. If so, I was referring to broadcasting live or taped content on a weekly basis (or even an entire season, if it is something like Lucha Underground).

I know it's not live -- but I don't think Netflix will invest in any live programming -- but it's something!

Yep!

I need to watch LU sometime - I think all the seasons are on Netflix.
The new season comes out sometime this week and TPWW's own DaveWadding and RoXer can be seen in the audience for the tapings of the entire season!

Yes. Them, Mexico's AAA, and think another 1-2 promotions air their shows on Twitch.

Wrestle Circus

Seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 should be on Netflix soon. Depending on edits, RoXer and I were in the crowd for every episode after #13

Did RoXer bring any signs?

("Please Read My Signs")

He did bring a sign that will feature prominently in one match this season.

Is it a tpww sign?

It is not.

what are the odds of his sign telling President Trump to fuck off?

Johnny Gargano makes his SD debut!

I say this about once a week, but Bianca Belair is fucking awesome.

Vic Joseph is replacing Mauro Ranallo for this weekend's Takeover: Chicago event due to Ranallo's boxing commitments with Showtime taking priority for the night.

Pretty sure wwe "Jumped the shark" decades ago. :yes:

Extremely high.

BREAKING: New Day has defeated The Elite at E3

100% upgrade

A Kenny Omega match from Deep South Wrestling is on WWE Network Hidden Gems.

Fuck! :n:

Can we just get a complete overhaul of the NXT commentary team?

Or all of the commentary teams?

Forgot about Omega v. Woods at E3. Happened upon the event on FB halfway through.

Mauro is annoying

Vic Joseph is a better commentator imo

surprised they did not get tom, I think it is a try out for vic, for when cole retires.

“Killing the business”

Doubt it since Graves is pretty much a lock to take Cole's seat in the future. WWE already views him very favorably considering they have him working on both main shows.

you think graves can do play by play he is color

Its doable but he would need some time to adjust. Its been done before in the past in the WWE with Josh Matthews going from color to play-by-play after a while.

Best would be to have him gradually call more play-by-play stuff while Cole gradually phases out of the role.

So it turns out Domino/Cliff Compton had testified as part of a pre-trial deposition for the Punk/Cabana lawsuit. He testified regarding Amann having a romantic relationship with Jillian Hall while she was his patient.

Anyway, it turns out his real name is Cliff Treiber. And here I was thinking he had been blessed with such a cool wrestling name.

How does this guy still have a license?

Well...my interest in watching has now dipped BELOW 0.

MAMMA MIA!

DAMN iNATOR WITH THE TOPÉ SUICIDA ON TAKEOVER: CHICAGO

Mauro's talented, but I can understand the criticisms. I think he can choose to be a great wrestling announcer if he dials back on the WWEisms. The general philosophy regarding announcing in the WWE has widely been horrible except for some excellent choices in color guys in the 80's and 90's and Jim Ross being there during the Attitude era. If Vince McMahon dies and someone like Michael Cole takes over producing that aspect of the show, he might change things up and stop using them like ventriloquist dummies. Mauro was a Cole guy.

When SmackDown goes to Fox and it's "all hands on deck" and Vince and Kevin Dunn are focused so much on that, it would be a good time to shake up Raw with some of those aesthetic changes. I can see Cole being the play-by-play guy on SmackDown, still being produced by Vince, while Cole handles Raw as Vince lets Triple H do a bit more with it. I can see Mauro being the play-by-play guy on that. Unless he is booked every Monday. I don't really follow what else he does.

I can't see anything wrong with Vic Joseph. I like Tom Phillips too.

I have never heard Vic Joseph. Tom Phillips is fine, up to the point that he is that geeky pretty boy announcer. He doesn't make you care about anything appreciably more. He's another Michael Cole, which is what they want, but it's not the true essence of what a great commentator can be. He's a Jakked/Metal announcer.

Can't wait for WWE to go back there!
