He looks bigger there than in his initial wwe run.

He talks about getting in shape etc, but he was in his mid 40's when he started that process, he's now 49. If he had got into this shape at age 30 it would have been a different story.

For those that enjoy watching classic wrestling, Post Wrestling recently had a news article about one of Buddy Rodgers' earliest known matches being on Youtube.

Its from a Youtube channel called The Wrestling Films and features wrestling matches mostly from the 1930s-1960s.

:wtf::wtf:

WWE and Gabe Sapolsky recently got dropped from the sexual abuse lawsuit against Riddle due to the court's issues with Riddles accuser's claims against them.

Main issue is Riddle's accuser failed to prove why the court should have legal jurisdiction over them nor provided any strong evidence of their connection to her claims against Riddle.

The court does think the case is still good enough for Riddle to continue as a defendant since his motion to have the case dismissed was recently rejected.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Zelina Vega recently signed a short term contract with a mystery company.

Only details currently known about the deal is that its exclusive in nature and she didn't signed with AEW. Might not even be with a wrestling company since the current details are very vague.

Titus has competition.,

Hot take:


The New Rockers were awesome and should have got a bigger push

What’s wrong with you?

I watched a bunch of 1996 WWF comps that someone uploaded on YouTube this week and they were really good!

There wasn’t anything wrong with The New Rockers other than the fact that they were labeled a “new” version of a successful team for some stupid reason.

Same with The New Blackjacks.

New Blackjacks were great. Totally right about the "new" part making them a dumb gimmick.

I liked the New Rockers gimmick: cheesy dorky gimmick that was cool in the 80s but lame in the mid 90s. Plus I love Al Snow.

Why do I hate Orange Cassidy? His whole running the ropes with his hands in his pockets is bad form and you never know when something is off with the ring.

Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks have been the worst part of SmackDown. Bianca has potential and I know people love Sasha, but it’s kind of sucked.

The buildup for the Smackdown Women's Championship match has certainly been subpar.

Yeup and all because WWE decided to use their patent booking of taking what should have been a very hot and money making feud on paper and quickly turned it into a very uninteresting Mania build.

Mania has 11 matches announced so far and I'd argue only 3 of them have felt Mania worthy in terms of interest and/or build. Would have been 4 had they held off the IC title match at Fastlane or didn't do that buzz kill of a finish solely to artificially extend the Big E vs. Apollo feud into Mania.

At least last year's Road to Mania had the excuse of WWE's plans being thrown into complete chaos once the pandemic really sunk its teeth in but it still managed to have a better overall build than this year's Mania by comparison. Only real issues were WWE bloating Mania 36's card at the last minute and wasting valuable hours on airing lengthy past classic matches solely to eat up time that could have been used to improve the build for those extra matches instead.

It does feel like Mania has snuck up on them this year.

The fact that numerous acts have just put themselves/been arbitrarily put in title matches didn’t help (AJ/Omos, Charlotte, then Rhea, Drew). I’m sort of hoping for a big multi man match for the SmackDown Tag Titles as little has been built (The Mysterios?) and there’s a lack of variety in the card so far.

The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship has also been booked rather poorly for a while now. Also the concept of will they won't they coexist is beaten to death in the company and I just can't get invested in it anymore. Not to mention interjecting your tag team champions with a feud with the women's world champion has become stale too. There's no originality or focus on in-ring competition. If their focus is on compelling storylines, they're really bad at that too.

Does since their inception count as "for a while"?

Bitches got tag team belts now? What's next, they gonna let them vote?

Another 2 night gimmick as well.

I'd say it started going downhill after The IIconics won it at WrestleMania. There were some decent moments here and there with Asuka & Kairi Sane, even Bayley & Sasha Banks when they were building up to the eventual breakup.

Did anyone care for Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross as a tag team?

Honestly thought more would've been done with the break up angle. Instead it's "Oh no you're evil, and I lost to you...oh well" kind of schtick.

I'd blame the issue with Mania's card and build this year due to WWE having 2 PPVs in between the Rumble and Mania. That led to the Road to Mania being more watered down and/or rushed than usual.

Add in WWE also being preoccupied with the switch from the WWE Network to NBC's Peacock and that just compounded the problems for Mania's build this year.

"oh no, my best friend got possessed and turned evil by a dark power...... oh well"

I do miss these ROH days...

Seems NWA has started to block matches involving their talent from airing on non-FITE streaming services.

Thunder Rosa is current scheduled to wrestle for an event that's airing on Title Match Network but it will only be viewable for the live audience and not those who purchase the show online due to NWA's demands.

Why did Soulja boy say that to Orton?

Because he's a lil bitch

He's always a punchline:

• His Breakfast club appearance.
• Getting punked after trying to dap up someone in the hood.
• Soulja Boy console.
• His rap career in general.

All of the "Celebrity" crossover WWE is doing couldn't mean less to me. I have no clue who Bad Bunny is, I know that Soulja Boy was relevant once but I don't know if he is any longer, and Bow Wow is clearly a mark and makes me shake.my head. Logan Paul has zero credibility and if it wasn't for his brother boxing a few easy cans and getting ready to be smashed by Ben Askren I'd have no idea who he is either.

I have very little interest in basic pop culture, for my taste give me Shaq vs Cody any day over that crap.

bob's account wasn't entirely accurate, he clearly took it easy on her

what's this franky crap they are giving taya? she needs to come in like karma did an amazon monster. i hope they are not doing she could be male.

I think Franky is the name of her dog?

so wwe trademarked the name of her dog

I'm fairly sure they did

Its more likely for Taya since I doubt WWE would have filed a trademark for "Franky Monet" just to use it on a dog.

If her last name is meant to be Monet, they didn't file any other trademark using it so Franky couldn't be for her dog.

It was one of those things I half read and was like "yeah I could see them doing that" and just figured that was the case. It looks like I'm mistaken after actually reading the article.

For sure, WWE's done a lot of odd things over the years and them filing a trademark just to use it for a dog in the end wouldn't be out of the ordinary for them.

When I originally read that I started thinking if they ever trademarked Matilda for the British Bulldogs or Franky for Koko B Ware

Not 100% sure but think you can trademark animal names for merchandise-related stuff in wrestling but not as a wrestler name based on how the wording works for wrestling trademarks and issues with written consent that pop up every so often.

If the USPTO asked for a written consent form for "Franky", WWE wouldn't be able to give them one if the name belonged to a dog and not a person for a wrestler trademark.

Like I wonder what Grumpy Cat had trademarked.

back to the point does anyone think taya is getting crap name and story arc.

According to Trademarkia, it was all for merchandise-related stuff while the cat was still alive.

https://www.trademarkia.com/trademar...n=Grumpy%20Cat

I read somewhere her name is going to be Franky Monet and her dog's name hasn't been revealed yet

So, confession, I’ve never watched Highlander. It’s just come on TV and it starts with a scene of the Freebirds working a 6 man tag but it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the plot. What’s the deal?

It doesn't. Just there, maybe the wrestlers were close to the set.

So I just watched the video. This was shot in 1985 at a Pro Wrestling USA show. More than likely the Meadowlands in New Jersey. The Freebirds are fighting the High Flyers (Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell) and Tonga Kid
