Seems Impact Wrestling might have just spoiled part of tomorrow's episode of NXT in regards to the finals of the Interim Cruiser tournament and the big storyline associated with it based on their hype video for next month's Slammiversary event.
SPOILER: show |
Wasn't Drake Maverick already released? Pretty sure he wouldn't be winning the Cruiserweight Title.
Man, AEW didn't get Rusev? That's a blow for them. |

Wonder what rusev name will be in Impact
|
|
i figured impact would 2 or 3 of those wrestlers, but the rest of them may be hype or per show deals. i bet a lot of them are doing short term deals till new japan opens again.
|
I doubt that all of them are coming in.....everyone except Rusev has made appearances for TNA/GFW/Impact before so it was a chance to splice in archive footage.
That they felt the need to include the Bulgarian flag though makes me think Rusev is the signing. |
The Forgotten Sons are about to be reforgotten.
Ryker at least anyway. |
Random Wrestling story
Tomy Atlas came into the AWA in 1984 which was based in Minnesota. During Tony's debut match, Verne Gagne turned to Wally Karbo (Verne's right hand man) and said "See, I told ya blacks can't get over in this territory" |

The best story I ever read about Verne Gagne was how he had a busted index finger for years, kept breaking it and just taping it back up until it essentially "died" and he lost all feeling in it.
Anyway he was in a match with someone, he puts the claw on them and when they blade for it they somehow hack the end of Verne's finger off. Classic. |

So there's that. |

This was mentioned in a podcast recently again, possibly DSOTR |

Some of the guys on the DSOTR team seem less than interested in wrestling.
Stepping stone for them I suppose. I get the feeling Vice would keep the show and change the staff for next season if there is one. |
Watch every second of that last clip folks.
Don't cheat yourselves. |

Could see EC3 and Maverick get regular contracts because of their past history and being known commodities for Impact. Everyone else gets per show deals that could become regular deals later assuming they stay. Karl Anderson already teased before about wanting to go back to NJPW once things go back to normal there so a short term deal with Impact makes a ton of sense for now. |
It’s Impact, just as likely to tease all these guys, then bring in Rowan as the only signing.

Another person from NXT getting the main roster call-up treatment very soon.

Could have had another team for the women's tag division had NXT and main Creatives actually bothered to push the duo as a team on tv and not abruptly break them up only to do nothing really notable afterwards with her and Deonna Purrazzo. |
David Bixenspan really went off on WWE for everything involving Drake Maverick's legit firing and redemption storyline once it turned out to be just a shameless PR stunt on their end for cheap praise and positive press.
Even worse is Drake's new deal might be for way less money than he was making before based on recent rumors about WWE's offers to those who were released and making Impact's regular offers look rich by comparison. He's gone off about stuff WWE has done before either in poor taste or being tone deaf but this might be the most heated he's been in recent times regarding something storyline-based. Even he admitted this might have topped the list for him. |
Dave Bixenspan being allowed to live outside of the womb is a human rights violation for everyone with eyes.

He can, exactly how ugly we are is the one thing anybody can control in that regard. If you look good you can still look worse or even better, if you look bad you can at least make the effort not to look like shit which is something a lot of people pretend not to know. Box leans into his ugliness like a beauty queen would lean into her applause. |
This is coming from someone who could easily slide into neckbeard territory too.
I've been close. |

Add Veveteen Dream and Io Shrai to the list of NXT call-ups planned for this month and/or July.
Also Adam Cole going to get one of the sweetest raises ever in WWE since his contract expires in August and he's been in "most favored" territory as Triple H's handpick star. |

Apparently WWE offering a free version of their Network ended up having a big catch in regards to them removing the 30 days free trial period for new subscribers.
Now if you want to watch PPVs, you have to buy a regular subscription since the new free tier doesn't include it. |
Toni Storm is now dating Juice Robinson. Juice finding a way to win without wrestling a match.

For me, she's boring at this point. Not because a lack of skills or anything, but just overexposed maybe? It was always a "walk away" or go take a "Hulka crap" time. |
I don't listen to wrestling podcasts about mid 90s wcw but I always wonder what the fuck they were thinking with Mongo in the Horsemen.
|
Flair loved him

Yeah now I want to run Mongo vs. Khali in Fire Pro.

Rusev seems really down to earth :lol: |
I think Slik found his new dream occupation. Male bum chiseler.

One thing that always amazed me about Mongo was that he was below competent at pretty much every single aspect of pro wrestling
except he had a great looking tombstone piledriver |

Add Lacey Evans to the growing pile of talent Vince once had high hopes for as a handpick top star only to lose all interest in the end.

Everyone knows you can’t hurt a Villano
|
Except Villano VI. That guy was a bitch.
|
Oh no I went down a Villano rabbit hole. Villano I killed himself. Villano II had a brain hemorrhage. Villano III also dead though didn’t see a cause of death. Villanos IV and V still going strong.
|
I would watch a compilation of wrestlers losing their balance while doing dangerous moves?
|
Remember when Raven and Kanyon just about broke the neck of one of the Villano's
I remember when this happened thinking they paralyzed him |
Fucking idiots that Raven and Kanyon, a neckbreaker makes no sense on the other end of a powerbomb.
If you're going to cripple a guy at least make it sensible. |
I just finished watching all the 1998 WCW Worldwide episodes in order. And they say the Corona Virus has been terrible. Look at what I accomplished!
Just over halfway done the 1997 Shotgun Saturday Nights. |
I'm on Jim Crockett 1987, watching The Sheepherders.
They were better before all the face licking. |
I love old jobbers, it's the ones with milky white skin and pot bellies that make it worth the watch.
|
WWF in the 70's and 80's had a billion frumpy, fat Puerto Rican jobbers
|
Watching Dusty Rhodes Vs Tully Blanchard, Charisma Vs Talent.
I truly hate Dusty Rhodes matches. Fat oaf. |
Well, I have to say he's better in this than I have ever seen him. It's not just the elbow on repeat.
|
I love Dusty Rhodes matches. He's one of my all time favourites to watch
|
Quote:
You should start a thread where you post your favorite match from whatever it is you are watching. I know that could be tedious, so just pick 1 maybe? "Gertner's Greatest Grappling Extravaganza" or some shit. |
"Hey Victor Where's The Rice Pickers"
Sign I just saw in a Nash/Sid match in WCW. No idea what that means. |
Quote:
|
This one didn't get blurred fast enough.
"BRING BACK OWEN" |
Hahaha!
|
Wrestler who I became a big fan of from watching all these 98 WCW Worldwide episodes: Lenny Lane
|
Van Hammer in 2000 looks exactly like this guy:
SPOILER: show |
Bischoff just said to Sid "what's the matter Sid, can't find your scissors?" about four times.
|
Lol and the announcers treated it like he just said the most insane thing ever
|
Quote:
|
WCW was all over the place in the best way possible in the early 90's. It was as if someone poured a toy box out and arranged matches between them.
Even the baddies were wholesome. |
You just explained every episode of WCW Worldwide and Saturday Night from 97-2000
|
Is that where they all went then? Like a WCW version of Heat.
|
Only with a billion different low/mid card wrestlers
|
Here's the matches of the last episode of WCW Worldwide I watched
Scott and Brad Armstrong vs Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko Lenny Lane vs Hardbody Harrison Johnny Swinger and Len Denton vs High Voltage Barry Houston vs Norman Smiley |
That's mighty fine, it would almost feel like a completely separate entity.
There were a lot of random gimmicks in WCW over the years, I mean WWF has a rep for silly stuff but a lot of the WCW stuff wasn't just silly, it was cheap or literally zero budget. Just guys in different coloured trunks getting mashed by slightly better jobbers with party store quality gimmicks. I always liked the way Bobby Heenan said Norman Smileys name though, like it was exotic. |
Worldwide and Saturday Night were their own universes. Especially Saturday night where they'd have show specific feuds.
|
Glacier, Chris Adams and Saturn all feuding with each other over who had the better Superkick
|
See to me that's the best sort of show to look back on, the thrown together ones.
I like seeing people come and go week to week. I just don't know how many Hardbody Harrison matches I can handle. |
That El Dandy sure is a jam up guy though
