Slammys

Ah, it's from the HTM performance at the 1987 Slammy's. I've gotta go back and watch those first two Slammy's. I've never seen them entirely.

On the subject of weird Bret Hart moments from the 80s, remember when they did a Dating Game parody and Bret basically told a lady he was gonna put her in a sleeper and then rape her?

Yes

Lol the fact that he sounds a little like Buffalo Bill when he says “ravage your body” doesn’t help.

Between this and the Cornette/Tekken bit, I think I can get down with wrestling fighting game memes as an entire genre.

Found this on another site but for those that are interested in watching some rare wrestling-related stuff, a Youtube channel called Pro Wrestling Rarities has a bunch of videos and is updated on a regular basis.

Has stuff from both wrestling shows and non-wrestling shows involving wrestlers.

You just know Vince was pitching a tent when he got Atlas to pose.

Tony Atlas gave Hogan his last WWF pinfall loss during the feud until losing to Andre the Giant in 1988

NXT rumored to move to Tuesdays after WM

Incoming shit storm/civil war part 2!

I like it. Ratings wars in an era of DVR and next-day streaming availability are dumb.

I like it as well.

It's better for fans.

As you asked so politely about my Roman-Samoa Joe angle...

It would have started at Survivor Series with Roman facing Drew in the Champ vs. Champ match with Joe as part of the commentary team. As a "Raw guy" Joe would obviously be pulling for Drew (because it's "The one night of the year where Brand Loyalty is even mentioned").

Roman takes exception to this and turns up on Raw to confront Joe. The angle is that Joe is virtually the only Samoan wrestler to make it big and not be part of the Anoa'i family. The tension builds between the two until eventually Joe turns up on SmackDown during a Roman match. Joe hops in the ring but attacks the guy Roman is facing (let's say Owens given the timeline). Roman welcomes Joe into the Tribe.

Joe becomes the "Protector to the Tribal Chief", where essentially he is the barrier between Roman and his challengers. You have to beat Joe to take a shot at Roman. You can play this out a few ways; I'd have Roman not defend the belt for a while as nobody can get past Joe. You can have Roman occasionally "Show Up & Win" after Joe has already taken them out.

You can end this in 2 way; essentially the Batista push with Joe realising he has beaten pretty much everybody and maybe he should be the No. 1 Contender/Champion/Tribal Chief, or, ideally, The Rock shows up, you have Rock and Joe face off until Joe recognises Rock as the True Tribal Chief, he steps aside and lets Rock go at Roman. You then do a Joe-Roman programme for post-Mania.

The Rock-Roman programme doesn't need much added to it as it writes itself, but I'd have Roman drop in the "it doesn't matter" line. "I bust my gut for each and every one of you, but it doesn't matter", "I came back from a life threatening illness for you, but it doesn't matter", "I run this show, but it doesn't matter. It's still his show."

Wonder if it was an intentional decision to keep the music going or a "happy accident" that lent itself to the angle to a degree (was rarely after a match anyone would get attacked when their music was going in those days), these days it would immediately be cut.

Duggans gimmicked 2x4 fails to break, then he breaks it outside the ring and half it goes flying into the crowd for a souvenir.

The only thing missing are the panicked bell ringings by the timekeeper.

“Guys! I rang the bell! You have to stop! Guys!”

Assuming its true, surprised WWE will actually be backing down from the Wednesday Night Wars.

Its going to help NXT a lot but also a hit on the egos of Vince and Triple H who probably didn't think they'd be in a lesser position against AEW for this long. Only other real time Vince/WWE ran away with their tails between their legs was over the backlash from the Black Saturday incident in he mid-80s.

To be fair a bit, not like they had that much of a choice since NHL and the rest of NBCSN sports properties are moving soon to USA Network and NXT was at risk of getting preempted a lot if they remained on Wednesdays in prime time.

a great story of a rib played on Jack Brisco getting to "meet" the Texas governor Dolph Briscoe. in reality the guy was a used car salesman that the Funks knew.

Infamous sexual abuser/harasser Joey Ryan tried to sneak his way back into wrestling and almost managed to be successful with his con.

He was working with a shady promoter on a wrestling event that would be associated with a women's charity which also has been discovered to be shady.

Managed to fool a lot of people by only putting his first name on the talent list and the promoter keeping all of the talent booked for the show in the dark over his involvement. Since several people from AEW were booked for the show, everyone assumed it was Joey Janela as the mysterious "Joey" person.

Once it got revealed its Joey Ryan instead, a flood of online backlash and anger towards the promoter happened and people booked for the show started pulling out.

Surprised he hasn't tried to get booked in Japan again. I mean, they CLEARLY don't give a fuck about such things.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">He can also claim that these people he’s suing are costing him money by ruining this show. It’s mental gymnastics by a sociopath to try to absolve himself of guilt.

According to Big Swole, this is not the first time this event has been involved in a scandal with the associated shady charity.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It’s not, this “show” has been cancelled every time its tried to take place a few yrs ago in NC.</p>&mdash; Swolenko: Big Swole® (@SwoleWorld) <a href="https://twitter.com/SwoleWorld/status/1366827607589851137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 2, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Worst case scenario for Ryan would be if one of the suits is to be tried under California law. Because, if it's the latter, there is going to be a countersuit because CA has some serious "Anti-Slapp" laws on the book. Stephen P. Neu (sp? Cornette's lawyer) is looking to find that out.

If it wasn't for the lawsuit being moved to a new jurisdiction, the lawsuit he filed against a former ROH wrestler would have been the biggest contender of that situation happening.

The person he's suing had to open a fundraiser to help with his legal costs and he has been outspoken about the bullying legal antics Ryan has been doing towards his accusers.

Right now the courts seem more likely to just dismiss or move Ryan's lawsuits to proper jurisdictions instead of allowing them to be heard in California. One got dismissed but can be reopened, another ended in default judgement but also can be reopened, and a third one got dismissed from California but moved to Pennsylvania.

For those with a WWE Network account, WWE won't be changing their policy for uploads of new episodes of RAW, SD, and NXT on NBC's Peacock service.

None of those 3 shows will air live weekly on the service and will stay at 30 days delay for new episodes of RAW & SD and the day after for new episodes of NXT.

Does anyone know for sure if ALL CONTENT that is currently on the WWE Network will be accessible on Peacock or is it only going to be selected material? This is one question that I really would like to know the answer to.

Lol, anyone could have seen Joey Ryan being a piece of shit a mile away. I don’t think he’s the only one, but he’s been the one rumbled.

All that's literally going to happen is you're going to have to click on Peacock, then find the WWE logo to click on to open the WWE Network exactly as it exists right now. I would be shocked if it's more complicated than that.

Right now, it is under their "sports" category and the offerings are limited. Presumably that will change.


Here is a screenshot of a search for "WWE" I did as I wrote this post. I tried embedding, and it shows up when I preview the post but disappears when I post it, so just use the link there.

Joey did this knowing it would get trashed and cancelled so he could try and use it as evidence against the dozen of women he assaulted and is now suing as proof he cannot make money because of it.

This is the "dick flip" guy right? Did he actually get caught doing some bad shit? Not surprising if he did.... probably started "living the gimmick".

Based on the timeline of some of the allegations I think it goes back earlier than that. He'd always done a lot of intergender wrestling and somewhere along the line worked out that he could do a gimmick that would get lots of women to touch his dick.

wow all of those endings were bad

Calling 3 months before someone nails Joey Ryan in public.

Oh come on I thought the Sonic one was funny!

After all those years together as well. =/

I wouldn't be surprised if it was both based on the reactions and stories from some of his long time friends who were caught off guard over the scandal.

The gimmick probably was just some dirty comedic bit he came up with at first as part of his gimmick change into a sleazy character on the indies but wasn't meant to be sinister in nature like it eventually became.

Him getting the Pornhub sponsorship is probably where the turn happened and he started to get more brazen with the gag. I remember watching a match he had against Tessa Blanchard I think where he flat out stopped the match just to tell her to grab his dick in front of everyone but said in a comedic way in order to lessen the suspicion.

TakeOver on a Thursday is going to be weird.

I'd assume if WWE is actually doing a virtual Hall of Fame event this year, its probably going to be on a Tuesday based on it being the only free day left in Mania week.

Good for Kayla <3

I saw it mentioned on twitter that Peacock is not available on Amazon Fire yet, that seems weird and also potentially problematic for users of Fire if it isn't before the Network switches over.

yep you got to get a roku stick to watch it on your tv atleast those things are only 30 bucks, or you can watch on your computer.

Jim Crockett only being 76 shocks me.

Are there any current wrestlers who have SUMO gimmicks

Last time i watched TNA in like 2016 i remember some dude that seemed like a Yokozuna knockoff.

I believe the only Territory promoters still alive are Vince McMahon, Ole Anderson, Terry/Dory Funk Jr, Bill Watts and Jerry Jarrett. Not many left.

https://amp.wrestlinginc.com/news/20...mpression=true

Internet losers but shouldn't expect nothing less.

According to the Observer, Jim Crockett Jr's cause of death was due to COVID-19.

According to PWI, WWE is currently considering the idea of doing a two night NXT TakeOver for Mania weekend this year.

Right now its only scheduled as a one night show.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">PWInsider have confirmed that NXT Takeover will indeed take place on April 8th during Mania week.<br><br>There’ve also been talks to have the show as the first ever “TWO NIGHT” Takeover.

FEED ME MORE CONTENT!!!

Lol Jeeeeeeesus

Why even pack up the stage and equipment? Just film stuff 24/7. It would be horrible but the hours of content! KA-CHING!

Didn't WCW one do a "WCW All Night" thing? Dunno how many hours it was, but I clearly remember it.... gonna google it now, better not be a Mandela Effect....

Ah, ok... yes they did, but it was only 6 hours from midnight to 6am, and was just playing classic matches, nothing live.

When Paul Wight said he had the scoop as he was getting interviewed by Schiavone, I was positive he was gonna tell people to call the WCW Hotline

Colin West, owner of Synergy Wrestling, has been outed as a child predator when somebody got a hold of his real name and found out he’s been convicted previously for sexual assault on three boys between the ages of 6-10 and a separate instance with a 12 year old.

Jesus

What in the fucking fuck.

WWE's ThunderDome rumored to potentially be moving to a new location of the University of South Florida's Yuengling Center in Tampa once baseball season starts.

Gosh I hope that's the case. I'd hate to lose access to all of the archive stuff they put on there already. With my crazy work schedule these days, I just haven't had the time to watch a lot of that older material.

Peacock’s UI is hot garbage so I do hope they keep the Network layout the way it was

Took me a moment to realise that was Warrior as one of the people attempting the clubs.

Jim Cornette's Cameo debuted at 12pm today and was sold out by 12:05. So much for being irrelevant.

This will be a problem. Usually like to watch the PPVs while playing video games. It being on Amazon would be better. Guess I'll just have to switch to playing games on a smaller screen until Peacock gets on FireTV.

According to Jim Ross, the infamous WWF Plane Ride from Hell incident from 2002 will be one of the topics for Season 3 of Dark Side of the Ring.

Not sure how doing 2 moves over and over requires much, if any preparation...

Anyone who says this about Cornette is a fucking idiot just repeating indy wrestler groupthink. Such a weird way to try and dismiss the guy so you don’t have to address his criticisms.

That’s an easy $7 grand he just made in 5 minutes.

5 minutes plus however long it takes to cut 64 promos

Reading the article on the WWE network US switch to Peacock is pretty brutal. They aren't going to have the full library up til August, no search feature & match markers at launch. But you can watch Miz and Mrs and Total Divas. They are offering the first four months for $9.99.

I wonder if the reason Fastlane is happening is so that WM isn't the live-event guinea pig for Peacock here in the states.

I'm not sure a ppv 3 weeks before WM would happen otherwise.

yeah it will be bad for the podcasts that talk about those old matchs

Yeah, Conrad and Tony Schiavone are in the midst of a watch along of every World Championship Wrestling episode from ‘86. I don’t give many fucks about the network. Just don’t screw up my rasslin’ podcasts.

I'm meant to have the ad-free version of Peacock through Xfinity but it seems certain shows still throw ads in there. Hopefully if I eventually ever get back to watching back catalog stuff once available it won't be riddled with ads.

At the moment it's like 90% Capital One ads and there are certainly far worse things than looking at Jennifer Garner, but still.

There are some shows that will always have ads regardless of what tier you are on. They put that in tiny letters. I'm kinda weird in that I like to read fine print to see what kinda fuckery they are actually talking about.

That's bullshit.

Current rumor regarding William Regal's two big announcements on Wednesday's episode of NXT.

Observer provided an update regarding Aleister Black's status in WWE and pretty much he's still in the phase of unless Vince chances his mind, Black's stuck in catering until his contract runs out.

Depending on which type of contract he's on, that could be anywhere between 2022 to 2024. All depends if his main roster contract is a 3 year or 5 year deal since the way WWE contracts work, its up to 5 years for a developmental/NXT contract and then it resets to another up to 5 years for main roster contract. Some are still on 3 year deals while all those who have been signing new deals since AEW arrived are at the 5 year length.

Cue Black showing up on SmackDown within the next month, probably going over Daniel Bryan or something.

Does Dave even talk to anyone in WWE anymore? He’s really pinned his badge to AEW and writing fortune cookies re: WWE.

What was the last WWE story Dave broke?

If anyone thinks they are worried about AEW at all, those announcements should change those people’s minds.

Yes he still has sources within WWE.

WWE's newest ban on thigh slapping from a few days ago that got confirmed by Fightful afterwards.

Does he have any big sources? That would be on an internal memo.

Yeah some within high levels of the company but also something he wouldn't reveal just like every other reporter wouldn't do since that's how you burn sources and cost people their jobs and/or blacklist them.
