Kurt Angle and Vince were fucking hilarious in this episode of Raw

I hope Cassidy hits the ropes with his hands in his pockets, only to eat a dropkick. And he falls out of the ring and suffers a career ending injury.

I think I'm going to go back and watch it. I only really remember Angle questioning why he was not the #1 draft pick for SmackDown.

Lol and he starts reading his accomplishments off the back of an 8x10 he was holding to Vince. So funny.

Lol with that original draft they didn't tell any of the talent not picked during the broadcast where they were going...the rest of the roster had to log onto the website for the supplemental draft just like everybody else.

RAW may be in some trouble tonight as there's a severe winter warning in effect in Utah and Salt Lake City has been telling people to stay off the road.

B Alvarez reporting the Utah Gov might even close roads

Last time that happened, RAW ended up being a very good episode.

Was one of the rare times where Vince and WWE throwing an episode together at the last minute ended up working out for the best.

In all fairness, though, that was totally an act of God Herself smiting WWE's bullshit writing/booking/programming plans that were undoubtedly going to get them boo'd out of the building. Mother nature forced Vince & company to proverbially turn the power off and back on again. Things aren't nearly as bad right now as they were that time.

April 4th, 2021 sounds about right

Damn you Fig I was trying to be cool today!!

He's no Bill Dundee, the greatest Scottish wrestler who ever lived.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cate...onal_wrestlers

A short, shit list.

Shouldn't Drew be 24/7 champ now?

It wasn't for the title.

WWE is dumb

Drew is an awful name.
I think he should go with Dre.

Apparently WWE held another meeting with NXT talent at their Performance Center after holding one last week to discuss new rules after the Riddle-Lesnar incident at Royal Rumble.

The most interesting part of the meeting was WWE telling their talent to stop talking to the dirt sheets after details of last week's meeting were leaked. Also seems some talent have been unhappy with WWE's lack of health insurance for NXT talent and the company doing nothing to address the over-crowding issue at the PC.

Rumor going around the net is that WWE recently hired 4 notable Japanese wrestlers but none from NJPW for their NXT Japan project.

It was hinted that the official announcement is going to be made around Mania time.

Man alive does Marshall Von Erich suck ass.
That's the worst Claw hold of all time.

Somebody needs to buy that boy some boots and steroids.

They made up a rule that if the champion is in an actual match, the "24/7" is suspended until the conclusion, presumably to avoid any interruptions. Because that's as far as their thinking went with the Crash Holly Memorial Title.

Though, technically, Drew could have pinned him a second time after he was done and won it. But why would you?

Better or worse than Lacey?

I don't watch women's wrestling but after a quick highlight reel on YouTube it does seem to be an appalling family trait.

I'd say their Claw holds are virtually identical in that they destroy all investment in the match by looking so feeble.
I am no Von Erich fan by any means, I actually think Kerry and Kevin were dreadful too but at least they looked physically intimidating.

Their progeny are fairly obviously roid free and the only discernible inheritance is their lack of coordination when in the ring. That being said their dad's were on all sorts of shit and were working for their psycho old man for way less than they should have, so at least they had an excuse.

It's not like Davey Boy Jr who looks like somebody stretched and dehydrated The British Bulldog but who is also a great wrestler in his own right.
These kids just can't wrestle very well and the moves they use expose them fast.

Lacey doing chokeslams is a good example of wrestle crap.

That Jordan Oliver stinks too

Lucky you. I suffered through Lacey's TNA run. Talk about skating by on a name.

Hell, Benoit's son would have a better time adopting the Von Erich name than trying to swim through the shit sewer of Chris Jr.

Killer Kross, Timothy Thatcher, and Aja Perera to WWE

Chris Benoit's son should fight under the name "Natural Born Killer"

I said fight instead of wrestle there.
I blame MLW for that.

My girlfriend was at a Verizon store near Tribeca in NYC yesterday and she was there for a really long time as they tried to find some particular product for her in the city that they didn't have in store. As she was waiting the S
Sales guy started a story... "You know who comes in here all the time?" "Who?" She asked. "Vince and Shane McMahon. They come in almost weekly. Apparently Shane gets mad a throws his phone all of the time so it breaks and he or Vince come in to pick up a new one all the time. They have a house just around the corner".

Such a random story but kinda funny.

I'll bet that happened once and the salesman has been living off that story ever since

:lol:

Apparently a major writers strike is rumored to be close to happening and if it does, MLW might end up benefiting big time since Amazon has been in talks with the company as potential content insurance in case it happens.

Since MLW doesn't use union writers, they wouldn't be affected by the strike and can supply Amazon with new weekly content for their Prime service while the strike occurs.

Kind of been waiting for the first wrestling promotion to sign with a OTT streaming service. Good for MLW if it happens.

Based on FOX's recent fiscal report, the company took a notable hit in revenues due to them losing UFC and spending a ton of money to get WWE.

Also FOX learned the hard way that WWE programs don't bring in the ad money like actual sports do nor can WWE bridge the gap lost from UFC.

Also likely going to hurt WWE if they try to claim during tomorrow's investors meeting that they are making a positive impact to FOX.

Amazon Prime had Dojo Pro which was somewhat associate with ROH. I will probably get into MLW if they are on Amazon Prime though. That's Selina chick is straight fire.

According to the Observer, Regal and WWE had been trying to sign Timothy Thatcher to a deal for the past 5 years and the only reason he finally accepted was due to his plans of wrestling in Japan never coming to fruition.

Also another main reason for WWE's firing of their co-presidents was due to them and Vince bickering over the increasing talent costs in the company. Vince wanted to sign and keep more talent regardless of their use to the company while the co-presidents wanted the signings to stop and rosters trimmed down since there was too much dead weight.

Also both co-presidents saw the Network as WWE's future for financial success while Vince didn't which is why WWE now is considering pulling PPVs out of the service.

In regards to Charlotte's Rumble win, supposedly it was due to WWE feeling bad for her since she was promised to be the main women's star last year and instead those plans had to be scrapped because of Becky's sudden rise.

So they were fired for making valid points and concerns.

This is absolutely baffling and daft.

TIL Abraham Lincoln was a champion wrestler and only lost one match in his entire life.

I remember reading an article about it. Wasn't aware of his record though.

Well, it's from the Observer. So, it's probably horseshit.

WTF happened at the end of this match? It seems like Neidharts fat choked him out.

Lol, Charlotte is getting a push because she's a star.

Apparently NXT UK managed to recently outdraw NXT in terms of attendance despite it being just as ignored as 205 Live is by WWE.

Full Sail usually holds somewhere around 400 for tapings while NXT UK's recent set of tapings drew around 600 according to this week's Observer Newsletter.

So...this is a thing...

I enjoyed that.

What a mess. Looks like Anvil was fucked up maybe... IDK.

Maybe? lol

Neidhardt tapped very quietly and quickly while in a bad angle, he ref said ring the bell, nobody did and then he just starts saying "ring the bell" again.

Neidhardt did tap though.

Yeah at 7:08 he taps but the ref fucks it up

WHO...... THE FUCK... IS RYAN CABRERA?

Neidhart was also a rotund sack of shit at this point. The flexibility of a brick

It appears that Bryan Clark was arrested on Narcotics charges.

Insert Kronik joke here.

No he wasnt.

But at this point...

He was.

Wow, I thought he and Bryan Adams were both dead.

Seems Triple H's promise of pay raises for all of NXT's talent due to the money coming in from USA Network ended up being a lie. Some of the bigger names got a bump in pay but not everyone if Taynara Conti's departure is any indication.

She's notable for being the first person to have a NXT tv segment that outdrew AEW's Dynamite in terms of viewership and even had it become a wrestling meme for a while.

Buddy Murphy is the latest member of the shortened name club.

Shortened to Buddy or Murphy?

Murphy.

So WWE spent the whole week hyping Goldberg’s appearance on Smackdown this week and his appearance just ended up him being “live, via satellite” for like 30 seconds. That’s incredible.

Once you’re a carny, you’re a carny 4 life.

good they let bray do most the talking

The worst part was Bray interrupted hima minute in with his acceptance of the challenge in a clearly pretape segment meaning he knew what Goldberg was going to say live ahead of time.

Its bad enough when it happens with the wrestler in the ring but it's even dumber this way

Only in y'alls dreams Ha!

Don't flatter yourself, pumpkins.

According to Fightful, seems not everyone in NXT was fond of the new money and/or terms being offered by WWE for new deals. Also not everyone was offered new money which was something Squared Circle Sirens mentioned a while ago in regards to the backstage mood at NXT not being in high spirits.

Taynara Conti being among those who were unhappy leading to her recent departure.

Being speculated everyone that's been given a push or tv time signed the new deals and people who had their tv time cut or were suddenly pulled from tv did not.

According to Meltzer, no one got a raise, talent was unhappy and Vince was going to be more hands-on. The stories about NXT are skewered to make them appear as heels.

Yuka Sakazaki.

Dash Wilders Twitter got deleted.
Scott Dawson is still on.

Should be announced tomorrow.

Probably off one week on the day since April 4th is Easter.

It'll probably be last weekend of March then
