Lol I don’t buy it. What use is the guy if he can’t do his dick move?

Rhea Ripley used a gay slur in her recent stream.

What top stars were out? Roman? He was out after Summer Slam and back before Mania. Styles, Rollins, Orton, Ambrose, Bryan were all regularly used right? Lesnar wasn't any less visible than usual. Plus they had Rousey for a year with no health issues, a breakout in Lynch and Charlotte prominently featured. Wtf is he talking about?

Thought Joey Ryan was already signed to AEW.

I thought he already debuted on Monday but they changed his name to Robert Roode.

One good thing is he cant do his stupid dick stuff anymore.

Thing is, I find that as a sincere response and yes, whenpeople get worked up, sometimes they say dumb insensitive things. I wonder if people will just label her a homophobe anyways.

Wouldn't be surprised if WWE ends up laying the hammer on the NXT guys she's associated with since their streams sometimes tend to straddle the line or go below it for stuff WWE would be comfortable with. Same for them causing more controversy from the Donovan Dijak Twitter incident.

Apparently there was once a wrestler named "The Champion" in Mid South Wrestling based on some reading about WWE's Hidden Gems addition this week.

Same person who later became one half of the Moondogs tag team as Moondog Rex and as the first "Smash" for Demolition in WWF.

They will.

Did she say faggot? I love faggot. Such a fun word. Shame that it is a gay slur.

And later became Detroit Demolition in Continental and The Nightmare in Mid South. His name was Randy Colley . The Moondogs were badass. I've never heard of Randy wrestling as "The Champion" though

Cagematch.com had him listed by that name for MSW's Wrestlefest 1985 event which is today's Hidden Gem on the WWE Network.

It was him vs. Wahoo McDaniel for the MSW North American title at the show.

https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=133091&page=2

It looks like he did wrestle a bit as "The Champion". Lol what a weird moniker.

Dean Malenko quits WWE.

https://www.si.com/wrestling/2019/04...-agent-departs

It's all dependent on where you sit. But when I went to house shows at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit when WWE came there, the majority of the upper levels were closed off. It was a Saturday night and WWE was lucky if there was 2,000 people there.

It's like when NXT comes to Detroit. They go to Royal Oak and perform there. It's a smaller venue but the place is filled to the brim and there are no empty seats. WWE would be smart to start having house shows at smaller venues.

In terms of TV events, they need to stop having shows at these places where the crowds are dead. I understand that you have to hit a market for your shows, but there are sometimes where Detroit goes: Smackdown Live-House Show-House Show-Raw-House Show-House Show-RAW. There is no reason that a market like Detroit should have two house shows before they have a Live TV event. I'm sure this is prevalent in other cities as well.

Jim Cornette's 2 part podcast on Montreal is amazing. The second part he does with Meltzer. It's captivating.

Today is Hug an Australian day

Recently read this somewhere and forgot this was actually a thing, but Dean Malenko ranked #1 for PWI's Top 500 back in 1997.

Was annoying how Meltzer kept trying to talk over Cornette.

Yeah, I hear that fact every couple of years and go "Wow" then immediately forget it again.

I love Dean Malenko but he just had absolutely no charisma at all. I mean it's the reason masks were invented. He should have had a visual gimmick because I can't remember much besides how smooth he was in the ring.

you remember stinko malenko that feud with jerico is what made him in wcw

Thought Malenko showed a surprising amount of charisma when he was doing the "ladies man" gimmick and teaming with Perry Saturn

Listening to this right now. Love hearing Cornette and Meltzer talk wrestling.

The Miz was #1 in 2011, from memory.

He got a massive pop when he revealed to be underneath the Ciclope gimmick. One of my favorite crowd reactions.

Rumored list of participants for this year's Money in the Bank ladder match via a supposed accidental leak from a recent local ad for the event.

Not that surprising. Very glad that there's no Baron Corbin in there.

I think they'll wind up adding one more SmackDown guy in there to even it up. Probably Ali since he'd fit the match style.

If that's confirmed, I'd say the smart money (no pun intended) is to have Drew win it.

Hope Ricochet does more than just be the Evan Bourne spot monkey roll. But even if that’s al he does he’ll be a heck of a spot monkey (not racist).

I can see Drew winning it, but a Cesaro-Rollins program would be an interesting way to kill a month or two.

You know what I want to see right now, a good fucking Kota Ibushi match. But I don't know where to start...:smh:

I doubt Cesaro or Rey win. I can see Black and Ricochet cancelling each other out. Lars probably doesn't get it, because I'm not sure how much faith they can really have in him. It's down between Drew and Andrade for me.

Great Take There, Sliced Wrestling.

His match against Zack Sabre Jr. for the IWGP IC belt at NJPW Sengoku Lord last week was really good.

Assuming nobody else gets added and that list is true along with the rumor of WWE wanting this year's MitB winner to be treated as a big star going forward, then the only real choices are Drew, Ricochet, Black, and Andrade.

Drew makes the most sense if WWE wants a RAW guy to win and Andrade if WWE wants a Smackdown guy to win based on current champs.

Andrade would be my pick since it appeases FOX who wants a big Latino star for Smackdown and he'd benefit the most from a cash-in, especially if Kofi still has the belt.

Thanks Smeat, I saw the highlights on YouTube. Are there any full matches I can watch for free?

Such an odd clash of styles between the two.

Depends if your going the legal way or less than legal way.

Legal way is whenever AXS TV has an Ibushi match among the stuff they air every Friday or whenever NJPW World gives away a freebie match involving him.

For the less than legal way, his match against Tanahashi at last year's G1 Climax finals was really great.

Buy a repica hemp belt

There's nothing else in professional wrestling that comes close to this.

JUst about to watch Jericho do a Q and A/podcast at the For the love of wrestling event in Liverpool.

Bloody Jericho , too busy taking money lol they’ve cancelled or moved his talk and Booker T is gonna be on in a bit instead.

G1 SuperCard match against Naito was great.

McIntyre should win MITB, come out to open Raw the next night and say he doesn't need the advantage and he will be challenging Rollins whenever Rollins wants. Rollins arrives later in the show, is informed of the challenge and accepts for the main event and promptly loses. McIntyre killed The Shield, took out Reigns, sent Ambrose back to the bingo halls and took what Rollins loved more than anything. Feud started.

Or McIntyre wins MITB, and wrestles Rollins. Rollins wins by DQ. Drew brutalized him with a chair. Then he pulls out the briefcase and cashes in to win the belt.

Or

Drew McIntyre doesn't win MITB, never becomes champion, and doesn't come close to the main event scene again.

Looked at the brackets. I think the team I wanted to see take it was The Briscoes.

Villain Enterprises as a maybe.

I see a final between The Briscoes and Flip Gordon/Bandido.

Feel like the War Kings win just because they're not attached to any other promotion.

Yeah, figured they would lose to the Battle Royal winners in the "replacement team always wins" thing.

Lars getting a push wouldn't shock me in modern WWE, but after his anxiety attacks earlier this year, I'm just not sure he is dependable enough for them. But does that even matter in this day and age?

Wildcard team has made it to the finals. Beat Flip and Bandido.

Not mocking the dude's mental illness, by the way. But when you've got a condition that might prevent you from performing, and has stopped you from performing, then it's hard to bet the farm on you as a performer.

The Briscoes got DQ'd and attacked the ref and laid out PCO and Brodie King.
