Holy fucking hot shit, Tyler Bate v. Roderick Strong in this week's NXT main event goes dumb hard. Check it the fuck out.
|
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.
|
TLC 2014 opener, if anyone was wondering.
|
Luke Harper is so very, VERY good.
|
Harper mentioned on the podcast that he almost killed Ziggler three times. I'm looking for those spots.
|
Seems like almost every single spot.
|
Oh my fuck. Go back and enjoy this if you have time.
|
Easier to do knowing that no one actually died. They both left with staples though.
|
Performances like this justify Ziggler's multiple pushes.
|
That was seriously unreal. Wrestling is the best.
|
Buy it now!

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. |

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

Fandango is 37, FFS. WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN. |
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. |
Hope Fandango wins a title before he is released or retired.... His IC title run went to Axel when he got concussed.

Seth being logical again

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: |
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. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Someone has clearly made a move to whitewash Warrior’s crazy racist shit from the internet.

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.

A shame if it is the end for Jason Jordan.
|
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. |
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.

You sound like you're happy he's injured, Noid. Cool

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. |

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

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.

There’s too many 1-on-1 matches at SummerSlam.

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

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). |
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.

Its just wrestling owen.
