Captain's Fall Match.

No falls match, first person to fall loses

This is my favorite Droford post of all time. I am going to hang this on my wall and talk about it to my future grandchildren.

I like to think I'm somehow related to Vince Russo when it comes to coming up with gimmick match concepts

Grillin with JR is my new favourite wrestler led podcast. Jim Ross is an ornery son of a bitch lol. Conrad with JR is miles better than Conrad with Bruce/Eric

:lol:

Drake Maverick's wife needs to pin him in his sleep to win the 24/7 title

POTY nominee

Schiavone is still my favorite by far. They play off of each other so well. JR likes to go on too many rants that end up off topic and force Conrad to reel it back in. I’m torn on whether I prefer that to Prichard trying to sugar-coat every shitty idea in WWE history. Bischoff’s is definitely the worst of the four though.

Former UFC Champ Cain Velasquez will be making his pro-wrestling debut for Mexico's AAA at their biggest yearly show, Triplemanía.

I wonder if he could be on the radar in the future of either WWE, AEW or NJPW? ��

Ross is pretty honest for the most part, which puts him miles ahead of Bruce.

Totally forgot Tony and Conrad. I didn't mind theirs.

He is teaming up with Cody Rhodes :shifty: and Psycho Clown for his debut.

i don't think vince understands sports other than maybe boxing (I heard he was a huge fan).

If he signed an actual contract with AAA, then AEW makes the most sense since they have a partnership with AAA.

Between losing The Elite guys and waiting way too long to really pull the trigger on any of the guys they signed to 1-year deals, ROH is crashing hard this year for ticket sales outside of the Supercard event. Already had to move Final Battle 2019 out of New York City because of the declining market there for the company.

Stick a fork in ROH, they’re done.

Sadly, yes.

Nice alternative to have on TV if you were able to track it down.

But, with Bubba Ray calling shots, WWE poaching some of their up and coming talent, among other various issues, it ain't what it used to be.

With ROH likely going down, what do you see CMLL and New Japan doing to expose their talents to a market in the US? A lot of people think the eventual New Japan/AEW relationship is just a formality, but is it? New Japan has been very staunchly trying to protect their content from AEW. Even if the ROH relationship gets devalued, the CMLL relationship is still something they'll probably want to maintain.

MLW is a possibility. Court Bauer has ties with AAA though, but that could always change should MLW decide to get more competitive as a promotion. I guess there's also a chance that New Japan could do something with the NWA, should it become an actual functioning promotion again with the right backing, Impact Wrestling (as much as I hate to admit it), or even a new one.

Part of me has wondered this since the start of the year, however, and I'm not sure I've vocalized it in here before: A WWE/New Japan/CMLL relationship would not absolutely astound me. When news of AEW started up, I thought one of the wildest things Vince could do to take the edge off is announce something with New Japan. Vince has worked with other promotions before, he just prefers WWE to be the center of the universe and won't rely on those relationships when he doesn't need them.

I'd never have predicted that Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff would end up as "Executive Directors" of Raw and SmackDown, respectively. The industry is undergoing some pretty heavy changes. It really would be something.

It hasn’t been what it used to be since Nigel lost the belt.

Is she a wrestler. I found it odd they'd have her on TV otherwise

Yes and she wrestled before in WWE during the 1st Mae Young Classic tournament.

This was great

I'll take MJF over the fucking Miz any day of the week. Fuck the love Miz gets. He sucks.

I have a hard time getting behind The Miz when he's portraying a face. He's a solid promo when he's motivated / a heel. Not a fan of his strikes.

MJF is the early and clear cut big winner out of AEW coming about. He was too good for MLW, ROH is basically on its death bed, he'd never work with his gimmick in NJPW and WWE might have wanted him but it would be Ambrose 2.0 you know he wouldn't be happy.. I figure without AEW he'd end up on Impact wasting his talent there

Anytime I see Impact on TV I am immediately taken aback by the emptiness of both the crowd and the atmosphere. It's like the skeleton of wrestling.

Anyone gonna watch the big GCW backyard wrestling show on Fite in an hour? Joey Janela goes from main eventing an AEW show against Jon Moxley on Saturday to main eventing a show in someone's backyard against Ruckus on the 4th of July. Crazy times.

Scott Steiner in anything is amazing

I chuckled at that line too.

All I had to see was them ripping off WWE themes for me to "Nope." out of that vid.

I did chuckle at “King of Small Style” though.

You mean how WWE constantly rips off other music for their themes?

truth needs to pin drake near the old impact zone building

Why are Thor and Loki standing so far apart with a big blank space in between them>

:roll:

I can’t believe I miss John Cena.

Does Bobby Eaton have dementia or CTE or something? I feel like crying everytime I hear him talk in interviews.
Then there's that story about him forgetting who he was and wandering off...

I've never heard one bad word about Bobby Eaton. Maybe don't answer this question if the truth is too sad. I can see me bursting into tears if I find out the one good guy has fallen on hard times.

Yeah Bobby has some memory issues. Poor friggen guy.

The nicest things Jim Cornette has ever said are all about Bobby Eaton. My favourite is when he said he treated the fans like the real celebrities.

Is Bobby Eaton the most universally recognised "nice guy" of wrestling? I have heard no bad things.

Either him or Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.

Don't recall any negative stories about Steamboat.

I’d throw Foley in there too.

Heard Foley can be kinda dickish at Meet and Greets. Giving off vibes that he'd rather be somewhere else.

Hillbilly Jim

Adrian Adonis

Scott Steiner

I meet Foley before very nice to me gave me a hug and signed my book.

Lol

Izzy Heel Turn

Foley was nice to my friend when he met him too.

I've heard Nikki Bella is really nice.

Shut up Noid you wee fanny

This is an eclectic array of names.
I take it Adonis is a rib but Hillbilly Jim is a surprise to me. He was so jacked up in his tenure you would think he'd have had roid rage once or twice.

I have heard a fair few negative stories about Steamboat's wife.

Tell us about the bitch!

Yeah, nobody has a bad word to say about Hillbilly Jim. Extremely nice guy. That's why he was employed forever after he hurt his knee. He would do alot of promotional stuff for the company.

Lol they are divorced now thankfully

Our hero...with a cute blonde (3rd pic).

Looks like Moxley wrestled Killer Kross last night instead of doing the G1. Match ended in no contest and they beat up security.

Apparently WWE's big plans for the Women's Tag belts after Mania were for the IIconics to feud with the Bellas over the belts.

Would explain why the Bellas teased several times they'd only return if it was for a tag title feud (and likely a tag title reign) and why Bayley & Sasha's reign was abruptly cut short.

Might also explain why the IIconics title reign has been terrible since WWE never bothered coming up with a real Plan B for them once the Bellas stuff wasn't possible.

From Nikki Bella on a recent episode of the Bellas podcast show:
https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/b...-feud-iiconics

Those matches would have been tremendous.

Interesting note: Smackdown is listed as "age 15+" on DVR, so maybe PG is over for real.

Jericho’s Instagram post :(

Shit, when you said that I thought Jericho did something stupid or was it was a mental breakdown or something.

I cant wait for the Shane McMahon and Drew Macintyre vs Roman Reigns match tonight.

I think I'm going to watch Raw with you guys tonight.

I like how Becky Lynch is just randomly in the back of someone elses pickup.

She basically wedged her way into his gimmick and was heavily in favour of the saccharine "family man" gig to the point where I think she was more or less responsible for his retirement. I have no idea how true it is or how bad it was but it has been said a lot. I think she was a bit like Buff Bagwell's mum or Diana Hart.

Steamboat should have gotten Snuka to deal with it.

Cornette talks about on his podcast how she nixed Ricky's appearance at a SMW show

Oh damn I've never herd anything about her. She's the Yoko of rasslin!

Good ol Bonnie Steamboat

Annie Edison :love:

Yeah I forgot about that. Was that where he sent the plane tickets back the day before the show or was that Tony Atlas?
"I'm sorry I can't do the show, Bonnie told me I have other plans."

Lol yeah that was Steamboat.

TIL, Booker T had a wardrobe malfunction during the grocery brawl with Austin.

Based on recent advertising, WWE is currently considering the idea of holding a Triple Threat match with 4 people next month for the Smackdown Women's title.
