Watching Bret Vs Davey Boy 1995 IYH and Davey keeps licking the inside of his lips and sticking his tongue into his lip.

That's that cotton mouth.

Bret delivers a piledriver that Davey's head clearly touches the mat for too. Hmmm.

Maybe we should have a thread for spotting fucked up rasslers in.

Bret goes for that big blood and the ECW guys in the front row start a "he's hardcore!" chant.
Vince doesn't mention the blood until Lawler says it right to him, then Vince says something about hoping the cameras don't do any close ups of Bret.

Great match but I'm thinking Vince ain't happy with the gusher.

A lot of this match is spent split screen with a close up of Diana Hart's face.

Bulldog hits a piledriver and works Bret around the floor then hits a running powerslam outside.

Wild match this. This is one of the best matches I have seen for ages.

Bret wins with a weird hammerlock rollover pin. That was nuts. Great stuff.

1:18 for legit insanity via female fan reaction to Lex Luger's posing.

Well if you're going to bury a guy a funeral is a great place to do it.

Maybe he doesn't know what psychology is

Probably the worst wrestling take I have seen in a long time tbh.

Just finished watching this week's NXT UK episode and haven't seen this week's NXT episode yet but skimmed the results.

NXT UK did a way better job overall with the build for Worlds Collide than NXT did these past few weeks. Probably the main reason why there is very little online interest for it and the poor ticket sales since it feels even more throwaway than Survivor Series usually is for brand warfare stuff.

WWE made a big mistake half-assing the build since it felt like they never made up their mind on wanting the show to be treated as a major NXT event or just a simple Network special like last year's show was.

They didn't want a TakeOver stealing the show during Royal Rumble weekend.

That didn't stop them the previous 3 years in a row.

Only reason they didn't do it again for this year was probably just timing issues since WWE didn't want two TakeOvers to happen in a month.

According to Fightful, Lars Sullivan would have been a big favorite to win this year's Rumble or at least challenge Lesnar for the WWE title at Mania had it not been for his recent knee injury and online controversies.

In regards to Lars' gay porn stuff being outed, Fightful also recently reported that Vince's view of him as a potential future big star soured a lot afterwards.

If he can take a load he can take a Lesnar

Gay porn stars are the toughest men in the world. Not as tough as any female pornstar but damned close.

Outstanding

Is anyone else doing the draft Kings thing for the Rumble? I just got the email about it and the deadline is apparently 7pm tonight.

Among other fun things it has Nia Jax as a pick for the women's rumble, although there are 43 total and it also has Becky, Bayley, Auska, Lacey (would either pull a Brock as champion or a Becky after losing) Ember and Ruby (are they still hurt too?). No Ronda Rousey though, or any legends

Men's side you can pick HHH, Taker, Lars Sullivan, Jeff Hardy.. no edge or other legends like Kane.

Everyone gonna pick Brock for 250 cheap points.

I was randomly looking at the WWE roster Wiki page and I saw that Sylvain Grenier has been re-hired by WWE as an agent. That seems very odd to me.

Pretty sure they were a product of the time; basically both portraying every character in 100% kayfabe AND some self-parody to the endings in Mortal Kombat.

Not me. Just sounds like more toy collecting. I mean, I'm not disparaging the guy. I have no idea what he may or may not contribute to the backstage envoronment. But so long as he doesn't contribute it to any company but WWE is fine by them.

Rumor going around the net hints that Kevin Dunn is no longer the main director for WWE shows and someone named Michael Mansury has been gradually taking over Dunn's duties.

Basis for the rumor is a recent report from PWI that said Dunn didn't direct last night's Royal Rumble event.

The person spreading the rumor has been pretty unreliable at times and recent got debunked hard regarding Kylie Rae's departure from AEW. Managed to even get Voices of Wrestling to bite hard on that rumor and get embarrassed in the process.

Kevin Dunn stepping away makes sense. Always thought Michael Cole would take over. can we just get wrestling produced like wrestling though, please?

Apparently PWI's report ended up getting taken out of context.

Dunn was in charge of the Rumble production last night and still is the main director for WWE. That other person just takes over from time to time for major shows.

The person spreading the rumor online worded it to make it sound like Dunn was barely in charge of shows anymore.

I want Drew Mcintyre to get a new theme that sounds like the theme from the tv show Highlander

He needs his old theme back

Picturing Drew McIntyre taking fools heads and yelling "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" Glorious.

He should use this, a little morsel from the motherland.

Apparently Matt Riddle currently has backstage heat in WWE regarding his social media antics.

While WWE was very fond of his constant digs at Goldberg and others not in the company, they didn't feel the same way when it came to him recently trying to do the same with Lesnar. Even if they were initially amused by it, that changed once they found out Lesnar was legit upset with Riddle.

Whatever plans they had for Riddle at the Rumble got tossed out which is why he was quickly eliminated and why him and Lesnar were never in the ring at the same time since Lesnar flat out refused to ever work with him.

He mentioned “dreams” twice on Raw. It’s almost like they’re teasing us with it.

I’m not buying it. What has Riddle even said about Brock? What would the plans have been for Riddle? Get tossed out in seconds by Brock? That Rumble was structured so perfectly. Riddle came out at a moment where he could get some shine and get dumped by Corbin, who wasn’t going to be in there when Brock was.

Brock vs. Matt Riddle isn’t THAT interesting on the surface. The fans are going to be super into it now because they think Brock really hates the guy. They are playing up his bad boy image. Edge wouldn’t have mentioned him on Raw. They would have kept him out of the Rumble in favor if someone Brock likes to get dumped. Curtis Axel doing the Axelmania gimmick or whatever.

Basically Riddle has been constantly mocking Lesnar and blabbering about wanting to retire Lesnar at Mania for months. Its been a lot less mean spirited or trash talk than what he was doing towards Goldberg but also something that could get annoying very fast if done to the wrong person.

Seems Lesnar simply wasn't in the mood for more of Riddle's antics and told it to his face to knock it off backstage during the Rumble show.

All it takes is for Vince or someone of importance to be around or hear what happens to get plans changed and its been speculated Riddle was meant to have lasted longer than he did in the Rumble. Outside of Luke Gallows and the Miz, everyone else in the latter half of the Rumble got at least 4 minutes of ring time while Riddle was the second shortest with 41 seconds.

Apparently Japan's Pro Wrestling NOAH was recently bought by DDT Pro's parent company.

For some reference, NOAH rejected offers by NJPW and WWE in the past to be bought by them while DDT Pro is comedy style promotion which is going to make that a weird but interesting partnership.

It's the May 3rd 2000 edition of Thunder.

Mid to late 2000 Thunder is the greatest

Lol I remember that show because it ends with a clusterfuck battle royal that saw half the roster enter midway through and run ins by guys who hadn’t been seen in months like Bret and Savage.

Lol what a fucking show

:lol: Looked up to see if there was a video of it online and started laughing when that happened.

No, but I think this should be a WatchAlong on What Happened When.

Charlotte vs. Rhea Ripley would be fucking off the hook. I think she is just going to tease that she can pick anybody.

Fuck off. Jericho is the greatest guy in wrestling history for what he did for TazzDan.

Oh god, this Thunder is in the MidSouth Coliseum in Memphis, TN!!!!!!!!

According to the Observer, Viceland is currently in talks with NJPW to potentially become their new network home in the US.

Had a weird dream that WWE did another illegitimate child storyline with Ric Flair and No Way Jose. Flair got Jose's mom pregnant and Little Jose used to go to the matches to see his alleged father, the World Heavyweight Champion. He started calling himself Jose Flair, wearing robes, and came out to hug Charlotte and called her "Sissy" all the time.

It was so weird, so I looked up Jose. He was born in North Carolina in 1988...

Just kidding, I made it up. But I thought the dream gave me plausible deniability.

Roman Reigns' theme is fucking awful for a babyface.

Cole and Corey so fucking bad on commentary.

Usos charismatic chaps. They could probably be stars in their own rights.

SmackDown set looks so fucking amazing.

Ah fuck, in the wrong place.

ROH bringing the Pure Championship back after 13+ years. They should add some additional rules beyond the no punches to the face, 3 rope breaks, title changes on dq and a 20 count on the outside though.
