Umad they botched even their "live" audience? They seemingly can't even cheer//boo very well :(

Wouldn’t be surprised if they called up Belair to help out Street Profits as they thought Sarah Logan would be there , forgetting that they had released her.

I actually think that was the plan.

Watching the episode of 1997 Shotgun where Pillman quits commentary and attacks a "fan".

Pillman was so great on commentary. Just making shoot comments and not giving a shit lol

My God was Pillman great. Ive been watching all the 97 Shotgun's in order. Lol he sounded so fucking pilled up the week before on commentary. I'm surprised they even let him on the air.

screech 05-26-2020 07:40 PM

I think my favorite part of this greatest match ever is how terribly awkward Charly Caruso sounded shoe-horning it onto the end of RAW two weeks ago.

Someone came up with the idea to tag this match with that line, then decided on that placement for it. Just so wonderful.

Taz looks like Tony Twist from Spawn

Seanny One Ball 05-27-2020 05:22 PM

Their body shapes are so bafflingly different I feel like I completely forgot how hunched and bulky Tax actually was.
He looks a lot bulkier now though...

Sepholio 05-27-2020 05:38 PM

Taz was always built like a brick shithouse. I miss his glory days when he just murdered everyone. He's the real mayor of Suplex City.

Emperor Smeat 05-27-2020 06:54 PM

According to Fightful, NXT is also getting the wrestlers as the crowd treatment starting with tonight's episode.

WWE should do a fight pit tournament before the quarantine ends (i don't think they could pull off the cage like they had with a crowd)

It couldn't be worse than Brawl for All

Texas joining the small group of states opening things up for sports and wrestling next month but unlike Florida and Arizona, they are allowing limited fans in attendance. Only Oklahoma has considered plans to do the same for June.

Also according to Fightful, WWE is freshening up their bloated NXT scene and weakened main roster brands with more call-ups planned over the next month.

Is that what you think they're going for? I'm asking that genuinely, because it is such a weird promotional angle.

It doesn't make sense in kayfabe. The goal of wrestling shouldn't be to have a "great match." I guess you could call Hogan vs. Andre a "great match" in terms of that promotional tact, so maybe they're going for that, but why Edge and Orton? Like, even if you like both guys and take their careers in kayfabe, it's still not, like, "the biggest" or a dream match. And it does sound like it's setting them up for failure. You don't set up a joke by saying it is going to be the funniest thing you've ever heard in your life, and you don't set up a wrestling match by promising quality. You present it as something people want to see and let it unfold.

I'm honestly feeling like it doesn't happen. Or not in the way the WWE is leading you to believe. My first thought when I heard about it was that it's going to be a bait-and-switch or something. I'm expecting The Undisputed Era to crash it and attack both guys or something. Even so, it's still an awful and weird promotional tactic.

No doubt Hogan will of course have a different recollection of events.

Evil Vito 05-29-2020 05:14 PM

Taker doing all sorts of interviews and podcasts in the past few months still feels like the weirdest fucking thing even though he's pretty much gone back to the American Bad Ass.

That is good. I was worried for her when they brought Ronda Rousey in, but it's probably been a happy accident. She got to develop away from the spotlight, and now there's no Ronda, haha.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's announcing his retirement soon since that was the original purpose of WWE's Last Ride series and he did hint in a recent interview about something special being in store when the series is over.

Mr. Nerfect 05-29-2020 06:34 PM

The timing is, well, not perfect -- he's been around a long time, haha -- but appropriate thematically. Survivor Series is 30 years of Taker. Could be a good place for a final match, or for him to announce a final stretch into this third decade, incorporating the Royal Rumble, probably Saudi Arabia and WrestleMania.

Pity he couldn't have went out a few years back before his age really started to show in the ring. He could do a tag match or something and be relatively ok, but a 1-1 unless its only a few minutes he starts to go downhill after around the 8 or 9 minute mark.

XL 05-30-2020 02:56 AM

There’s evidence to the contrary that he’d be ok in a tag match...

slik 05-30-2020 04:25 AM

Watching NXT's "Pit Fight" and it could and maybe should be the future of pro-wrestling.

Keep the 10-count, Submission and add Pinfalls. It's very camera friendly and allows mat-based, submission and high-flying styles. Room for video/production too.

Droford 05-30-2020 05:29 AM

I stand by the idea of a pit fight tourney ppv while they still have no crowds.

Had a feeling that a Vince McMahon book would be coming with the XFL.

An MVP-led heel stable of Bobby Lashley, Apollo Crews, Cedric Alexander, Ricochet & Bianca Belair is something I want to see... Crews slowly turns heel as MVP helps him retain his title, he backs Ricky & Cedric to turn on his current charges of Thorne & Vink, then leads them to eventually take the titles away from The Profits after Belair turns on them.

And if you didn't want Belair to turn on her legit husband, trade Naomi to Raw and have her turn heel instead....

I’d be down for that, but I was under the impression that 5 of those people had disappeared.

Tom Guycott 06-02-2020 06:17 AM

I feel opposite. I mean, yes, give MVP a group, but we don't need to repeatedly and perpetually make teams and stables based solely around ethnicity. It's lazy at minimum.

And now it's surfaced that he made a FB post last year that Black Lives Matter was garbage and that they need to do their research and see how good they really have it.

He's fucked. Vince and Trump are buds but Vince cares about the company more than anything else, being a distraction is acceptable to him if you bring money into the company but a random low card dude like him is probably gonna get the boot to save PR.

Wouldn't be the first time, part of the "strikes" against Big Cass was that he was a vocal Trump supporter in a locker room that is very liberal. Although with things as heated as they are. you could just as easily have the right wing media killing the company for letting him go too.

Pretty sure WWE is taking down the media or something. Not working here.

I was having the same issue. Trying watching on Google Chrome, it should work. I use an outdated browser on my phone so it wasn't working for me

Chrome has had issues with embedded Twitter videos for me for months. If I click on the tweet and actually go to Twitter it plays fine.... and then, the rest seem to play fine in embedded form after.

Ah, thanks, I can see them now. Good lord, Mongo might be one of my actual guilty pleasures in wrestling. Such an accidental gem. He'd be lauded as the greatest if he was in modern wrestling, just because he's such a wobbly wreck.

Well, Cornette's going to have to scratch another one off the list.

Mr. Nerfect 06-02-2020 08:23 PM

I've gone through phases where I thought a stable that addressed race issues could be interesting. But it'd just be too polarizing with so many racists in the US. Like, Kofi Kingston takes a knee on a SmackDown and half you yanks will boo the fuck out of him forever and a day.

It's not the right sort of heat to get. Even if you try to make them babyfaces, or heels that are only booed because they are assholes, and maybe have a few token white guys in there, haha. It's also got that flavor of exploitation that WWE takes a MASSIVE beating for when it comes to things like the Iraq situation in 1991, or Muhammad Hassan when the terrorist attacks happened. It's way too divisive an issue, and WWE are just not mature or nuanced enough (fuck I hate that word, but it actually fits here), to even think about attempting it. MVP managing Bobby Lashley is enough.

Sonny hasn't bothered to delete her tweet yet, still up

And WWE are wankers. I'm not entirely sure they won't have Bobby Lashley win the WWE Title just to see what happens. Drew can always get it back in a few months. Stunt booking to stop the ratings decline. If they do it, they'll probably have a white babyface cost Drew in order to try and suggest to people it's not race related.

Seth Rollins would be likely. Or CM Punk if they can convince him. He's just back to cause chaos or something and wanted to pick a fight with the guy who was WWE Champion and beat Brock Lesnar.

Vince is probably gonna dress Otis up in a Dashiki, call him Akeem Jr, put the strap on him and promote him as a African American World Champion.

Lazy perhaps, but they all need a mouthpiece and that's all MVP was brought back to do (other than to produce backstage).
