Holy fucking hot shit, Tyler Bate v. Roderick Strong in this week's NXT main event goes dumb hard. Check it the fuck out.

Anybody Thrilla 08-16-2018 03:48 AM

Pod of Awesomeness from a couple episodes ago has me going back to Harper v. Ziggler in the IC title ladder match. I remember loving the shit out of it when I first saw it.

Anybody Thrilla 08-16-2018 03:50 AM

TLC 2014 opener, if anyone was wondering.

Anybody Thrilla 08-16-2018 03:53 AM

Luke Harper is so very, VERY good.

Anybody Thrilla 08-16-2018 03:55 AM

Harper mentioned on the podcast that he almost killed Ziggler three times. I'm looking for those spots.

Anybody Thrilla 08-16-2018 03:55 AM

Seems like almost every single spot.

Anybody Thrilla 08-16-2018 03:56 AM

Oh my fuck. Go back and enjoy this if you have time.

Anybody Thrilla 08-16-2018 03:57 AM

Easier to do knowing that no one actually died. They both left with staples though.

Anybody Thrilla 08-16-2018 03:59 AM

Performances like this justify Ziggler's multiple pushes.

Luke Harper is spectacularly underutilized.

And now that he's pushing 40, he's unlikely to get the type of push he should've gotten ages ago.

I still weep at his derailed push during the Orton/Wyatt feud. Fans were getting behind him and he was starting to feel like he could legit break through into the main events........

But then he was just taken off TV entirely, and Jinder Mahal was pushed to the moon instead.

Big Vic 08-16-2018 11:01 AM

Orton vs Harper vs Wyatt could have been booked so much better.

I feel like that about a lot of talented guys when I see their age. Just thinking what could have been if they existed in another era and how it's now too late to fix it even if things were to suddenly get really good again. When it's all said and done, pretty much everyone in this era is just gonna blend in with everyone else. Same booking, same characters, same basic paint-by-numbers personality, same pre-written, generic, emotionless promos across the board. Just wasted careers all over the place.

Fandango is 37, FFS. WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN.

Evil Vito 08-16-2018 11:41 AM

Fandango being 37 feels somewhat shocking - that means he was already 30 when he was added to the main roster. But then again, he was in developmental for ages so it kinda makes sense.

Shit, same situation with Wade Barrett who just turned 38. He turned 30 early on in the Nexus angle.

Big Vic 08-16-2018 01:16 PM

Hope Fandango wins a title before he is released or retired.... His IC title run went to Axel when he got concussed.

SI: There's a rumor that at WrestleMania, it's going to be Roman Reings vs. The Rock. When you hear that, what's the first thing that pops into your head?

SR: I’d like it to be Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins.


SI: What about Seth Rollins vs. The Rock?

SR: That’s cool, too. Don’t get me wrong. I love Rocky. I think he’s great. Love everything he’s done for this business. But my gut, my first instinct, says we don’t need him. We don't need him. If we’re not the guys who can main event WrestleMania, then how are we ever gonna be The Rock? How are we gonna be Stone Cold Steve Austin? We can’t hold onto these guys forever. We just can’t. To me, let’s do Seth Rollins-Roman Reigns before we do Seth Rollins-The Rock. That's me.


SI: But do you see how it's good for business to bring in that Rock audience or do you not care?

SR: I see that perspective 100 percent. I get it. There’s nothing wrong with growing, getting bigger and putting more eyes on your product. I totally understand that. I get it. But at some point, we gotta move on from that.


Splaya 08-16-2018 01:29 PM

Seth basically saying what 95% of the guys in the back think.

With that said, I hope this is a work interview

Roman V Rock :nono:

Rock V Seth :yes:

#1-norm-fan 08-16-2018 01:31 PM

The problem isn't that they keep bringing in guys like The Rock to main event. It's the fact that they can't build guys to main event in the first place. Just throwing two guys who aren't massively over in the main event of WrestleMania doesn't suddenly make them stars. It's backwards. The work has to be done the other 11 months out of the year. They fail on that front, so bringing in someone who's massively over to main event WrestleMania is the only way to go.

Recent rumor going around the net hints at someone (WWE, Warrior estate, etc) has been quietly white washing Warrior's bigoted past from the internet.

Deadspin's David Bixenspan noticed this when he was doing some work for an upcoming podcast episode.

Seems WWE is still worried about Jason Jordan's neck injury to the point they are starting to groom him for a possible backstage role instead. Same for Matt Hardy now that his current injury situation changed for the worse.

There is talk of him shadowing producers which is basically learning the ropes there with the possibility of that being his future. Jason Jordan has been doing the same thing of late since he has had issues coming off his neck surgery. Hardy will be undergoing treatment for his different injuries and after he goes through that process, a decision will be made as far as whether he can return and in what type of a schedule or capacity


Mr. Nerfect 08-17-2018 04:04 AM

A shame if it is the end for Jason Jordan.

Rammsteinmad 08-17-2018 07:45 AM

Even more a shame for Matt Hardy. Guy is such an underrated "legend" of the sport, in my opinion. I'd love it if he could continue his WOKEN thing, or even go BROKEN if he is retiring due to injury, and be an on-screen character. Maybe lead a stable or be a mouthpiece for Brother Nero or something.

Aw whatever. He'll probably appreciate not having to wrestle anymore and probably spend more time off the road.

Mr. Nerfect 08-17-2018 08:04 AM

Eh, it's been almost a decade since I've given a shit about Matt Hardy. I used to be one of his biggest fans, but his Fatt Hardy years and the Broken/Woken rubbish jumped the shark with me.

I absolutely hate the gimmick. It reflects how stupid everything is, and how they don't have any standard they need to keep, haha. You don't have an option but to just deal with him being Kurt Angle's son, haha. But he's got a fucking motor on him and looks like a million bucks.

When you haven't watched WWE is a while, it's jarring to see how unnatural everyone is, haha. Those promos are fucking awful. Christian steals the scene just by standing there.

I don't know why they don't use Christian in an active speaking role in the company. Always wanted to hear him as a color commentator after hearing him trade barbs with JBL. But I guess being a manager or hosting a talking segment he'd probably overshadow too many guys.

Seth Rollins sounds so unnatural. "Yo, hi, wassup, I'm here, yo." Jason Jordan isn't much better, but he's a lot newer and it was at least funny how he played to the crowd. Sheamus is fine with his cadence and tone, but the whole high school yard-talk thing means anyone is going to sound awful. "We don't just set the bar...we ARE the bar! Ha ha ha ha" Fuck off. Cesaro doing a dramatic swipe of his glasses to get them off at the right moment in the ring. It's so off-putting and I don't know how they ever expect to make a new fan with acting so bad.

It's like they watched an old black and white movie with a moustache twirling villain and based some of their mannerisms off it. There's very few reasonably decent talkers in wwe today because everything is written for them word by word, instead of giving them more free reign with certain bullet points to mention.

Why not? Why work for someone that supports things you apparently stand so vitriolically against? I guess something stops being a bad thing when it's your camp that does it. Nice moral integrity there.

Fuck this company, fuck the people in it, and fuck the people who defend them.

I can’t imagine myself paying money to go to some sort of show or game or concert or something and you know and not paying attention to what’s going on.

They can do what they want, but yeah it definitely makes you question your own validity in that spot.”

Dude, no one paid to see Dolph Ziggler in an IC Title match. No one. Just because you were put in the main event on the night of the show does not mean that you were the reason all those people attended. And be careful what you wish for re: people not spending money if they're not that interested.

Yeah pretty small and Impact will have a bigger set up as well. I guess it'll be easy to sell out at least and it'll be better than than Universal Studios.

Current rumor going around the net regarding the Universal title match at SummerSlam.

SPOILER: show
Voices of Wrestling reporting Vince/WWE is currently leaning on Lesnar retaining the title against Reigns.

Place I read the rumor made no mention of Braun so its possible he either doesn't cash in or also loses to Lesnar.

SPOILER: show
This little conspiracy theory I got running in my head for a while may just pan out.

I honestly think Vince McMahon and Dana White got some sort of super secret/quiet agreement in place that Brock Lesnar is gonna go to UFC as WWE Universal Champion.

Braun winning MITB is more-or-less a "break glass in case of emergency" type thing if Roman wins and things go sideways fast. But I don't think the fans will like Braun cashing in and losing to Lesnar……...again.

Of course, this all depends on Lesnar sticking around with WWE. I think his deal is over sometime after Summerslam. Unless I missed the tidbit that the re-signed.

The portion where Road Dogg awkwardly tries to hug Samoa Joe :roll:

Mr. Nerfect 08-17-2018 10:12 PM

I can understand not taking the belt off Brock if he's not going anywhere. If that happens, I hope Heyman babyfaces Brock with a promo earlier in the night. Stop denying people a hero. Heyman could so easily turn Angle's promo on its head.

"Kurt Angle says Brock Lesnar is the worst champion in WWE history. Well, was Brock Lesnar the worst champion in history when he beat Kurt Angle at WrestleMania? Brock Lesnar became the youngest champion in history when he beat The Rock at SummerSlam. Brock Lesnar is not the worst champion in history; Brock Lesnar is the best champion in history. Brock Lesnar defends the championship when there is someone that can step up. Roman Reigns has been yapping for weeks about Brock Lesnar not being there. Brock Lesnar has earned the right to call his shots by being the most dominant professional in his field for over 16 years. And unfortunately for Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar is here tonight. Unfortunately for Roman Reigns, the greatest champion in history is in MetLife Stadium to fight. Tonight The Beast, The Conquerer, the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world, BROOOOCK LESNARRRR is going to turn the big dog into his little personal bitch."

Easy enough. Brock goes out there and flattens Reigns. Crowd pops. We're back on track.

Exactly. Rollins will speak out when someone criticizes the appearance of a fellow female employee, but he won't speak out even "equally" as much against his employer who agreed to perform in a country that won't pay your fellow female employees for the performance and won't allow your fellow female employees to attend the performance, let alone actually appear or perform? WTF?

This theme is awful but it does suit their gimmick.

I can't help but think that "Go, Go, Go" should have been their first theme, then after winning the titles, their new theme should have been "Battlescars".

Cool King 08-18-2018 11:30 AM

The WWEMusic YouTube Channel has also deleted "Battlescars" from their uploads.

Cool King 08-18-2018 11:33 AM

I find that a bit weird as they don't usually delete theme videos.

They still have the themes of Big Cass, Enzo, Neville and Austin Aries for example.

They still got entrance videos for quite a few past superstars. Matter of fact, that's all they have for some.

So I started watching a bunch of WCW Worldwide/WCW Pro episodes from early 1997. Tony and the Brian are on Worldwide commentary, but my new favourite announce team of Dusty Rhodes, Larry Zbyszko and Chris Cruise are on WCW Pro. They are like watching a car crash.

This would be a non-issue if they didn’t oversaturate their weekly TV with 20 minute singles matches every show.

So Alexa Bliss is taking on Trish Stratus at Evolution. Did WWE just spoil Summerslam?

Any highlight lines?

Bad News Gertner 08-19-2018 12:29 AM

Chris Cruise was hyping up a ppv and was telling the fans to mark it down on their calenders and ended up saying "whip it out" and you could hear Rhodes and Larry laughing their asses off. Cruise ended up laughing too

Good interview with him where he gets v emotional about leaving EVOLVE to go to WWE

Silly you to think it'd be for a title

Im convinced that they're going to do Charlotte (SD Champion) vs Ronda Rousey (RAW Champion) which will lead to the 4 Horsewomen vs 4 Horsewomen match at SS

Cool King 08-19-2018 08:25 AM

Just a heads up that my post contains some NXT TakeOver spoilers from last night.

SPOILER: show
Anyway, with Shayna Baszler losing the title last night and with Trish Stratus being announced to face Bliss, I get the feeling that Bliss will retain at SummerSlam and Baszler will debut on the main roster either tonight or tomorrow on Raw.

I've noticed a bit of a trend recently with NXT Champions and SummerSlam or WrestleMania. The champions seem to debut on the main roster not long after losing their championship before either SummerSlam or WrestleMania.

It happened with Almas, Roode, Ember Moon and it sort of happened with Nakamura and Bayley but they debuted on the main roster after they lost their rematch, which wasn't that long after they lost their titles, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Baszler turn up really soon.

To me, I don't see why Bliss vs Stratus would happen if their wasn't a reason to watch. If Bliss loses to Rousey tonight, then the match at Evolution would just be "Bliss vs Stratus" and that's it. However, if Bliss retains, the WWE would hype it up as "The five-time and current Women's Champion, Alexa Bliss vs The seven-time Women's Champions, WWE Hall of Famer and one of the best female superstars of all-time, Trish Stratus".

It would be seen as "The Past vs The Future". It would give people more of a reason to watch than if it was just "Bliss vs Stratus".

So with that, and Baszler losing last night, I can see Baszler playing a roll in Bliss retaining, which would mean we would get a Rousey/Baszler feud because of it and Bliss still champion and hyping up her match was Stratus.

I said this theme was awful and it kinda is, but it has been stuck in my head since I post it here.

Cool King 08-19-2018 12:30 PM

So I found out today that Tri.Moon, the guy who makes a lot of wrestling related gifs and videos for the IWC passed away on Thursday.

He was only 25 or 26.

Nobody is really clear on how he passed away as some are saying it was due to a long illness, some are saying it was suicide and some are saying it was suicide because of his long illness (I'm guessing the illness was a terminal one).

Evil Vito 08-19-2018 04:53 PM

So according to Matt Riddle's wife, Matt got his much-anticipated contract offer from New Japan and fully intended on signing it. He had to first notify Gabe Sapolsky, and after that Triple H then called him pretty much immediately to offer him a deal.

EVOLVE are on good terms with WWE of course, so it's no real surprise that Gabe wanted to give them a heads up. But this does paint a picture that his signing was more about keeping him away from the expanding NJPW than it was genuine interest in Matt.

Just like with their rumored interest and Pentagon and Fenix, they already have more toys than they know what to do with but would rather keep them all than let anyone else have them.

For a company that's supposedly worried about needing quality champs and matches for the Evolution PPV, the first two rumored matches pretty much are going in the opposite direction.

SPOILER: show
Rounda Rousey vs Nikki Bella is currently rumored to be the main event of the PPV.

Alexa Bliss vs Trish Stratus is the other high profile match rumored to be on the card.
