Jerry Lawler faced Enzo in a casket match last night. Lawler won via a KO punch with brass knucks.

It felt so weird typing that.

Vince has aged about 15 years in the last 5 ffs.

Kurt Angle knows 'em when he sees 'em

Dude is gonna be 48 soon, had a 7 year layoff, and just put on a banger with the company’s world champion and looked like a stud doing it. He won’t ever get the fanfare he’s deserved but he’s a damn good performer and he’s still got it.

Makes me wonder what could’ve been had they gotten behind him as a serious upper miss card heel in 05 when he was cutting promos on Cena right before Cena moved to Raw.

I'll admit I wasn't that into him back then but I always knew he was a good performer.

After what he did the other day he needs to be in the HoF for his solo work and not just E&C.

You'll have to be more specific.

I was able to find it. It's from TakeOver 31.

<iframe id="reddit-embed" src="https://www.redditmedia.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/j5ote7/nxt_takeover_31_spoiler_the_wrestlers_entrance_of/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share&amp;embed=true&amp;theme=dark" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups" style="border: none;" height="494" width="640" scrolling="no"></iframe>

He really found a groove in that short time frame. His promos were good, had a new look and music. If there was ever a time to elevate him that was it. I’m not saying he should’ve been a permanent main event player. But o don’t think he was a lesser talent than Edge and I’d argue he’s probably a better in ring performer. They just whiffed on him.

He’s definitely losing at All Out but now we know he can go at the level you’d expect in an Omega match. And now I feel better about him getting a main event shot while they hold off on Hangman.

When he came out as IC champ and with his haircut for the first time I immediately thought "he's going to be a big deal for sure". Was already a fan before that of his singles stuff, but that just seemed to "clinch it" that he was "destined for greatness"

https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery...IC_2003_01.jpg

Biggest tragedy in the history of rassling that he never reached the levels of greatness he should have in WWE.

AEW should definitely have him beat Omega again at the PPV and start a new boom period for rassling.

They should absolutely not lol

Unless he does it by wearing a cape and hitting a frog splash

I don't think Christian will get the win because Matt Hardy is likely to get his big championship run soon and probably at All Out. Maybe Hardy vs Christian main event Full Gear? Ladder match?

awful. Hopefully Hardy can have a "Paper Champ" gimmick if they actually do put the strap on him. God I hope not. Then I won't have any rasslin to watch.

If they put the strap on Matt Hardy then the best person on their creative is worse than the worst person in WWE creative. No, just no.

That's hyperbole obviously but seriously I can't express how awful an idea that would be. If that's the plan they may as well put the belt on David Arquette. That would turn Dynamite into Wednesday Night Background Noise for me.

Arquette would be a bigger draw :D

I think Jordan X is just having a bit of fun.

Yeah Jordan is just pissing about. "Matt Hardy getting a main event push" is the same thing as all his posts about what a BIG deal it would be if Paul Wight got a BIG push last week lol

You guys it's all in Gavin's reports, I didn't write it myself. Gavin has been the one breaking all the big news lately on reddit. He has some connections backstage to AEW and I guess for now is one of the big leaks in the business. He foretold the Punk rumors, Bray Wyatt's WWE release, Danielson at Arthur Ashe and more. Gavin announced recently he will be putting up a new weekly podcast and newsboard, but it's all behind a paywall so we gotta take the nuggets while we can!

Its almost like he's after something with that newsboard........

Here's the laser pointer light show mentioned in the Cornette video. :lol:

Loved that iteration of Taker

Amazing character but fucking horrendous matches

I remember ordering a shirt they had on their site but I couldn't find at live events.


Had Taker drawn with an upside down cross on his palm and an upside-down pentagram on the back in the word "of". My mom had no fucking clue at the time because it didn't show up well on the picture.

Also, for the first time in several years, there will not be a media call before NXT Takeover. HHH likely wanting to avoid any questions about the gutting (which is nowhere near done) of NXT.

Ric Flair has denied that he was photographed earlier today eating pussy on a train. Thank you.

The picture is very easy to find. You decide how much you want to go find it.

Alright fine.

Wooo :(

That's just disgusting

I mean he is a limousine riding, jet flying, pussy eating in first class seating son of a gun.

Can't wait for the Dark Side of the Ring episode :-\

Is she wearing a life alert bracelet?

Pretty sure that picture just destroyed any chances of him going to AEW

lol no it didn't

So you think AEW is going to sign someone who should be on the sex offender registry? Seems like that would go against all the posturing they've done with suspensions and terminations and what have you for various reasons, but whatever. I guess Ric Flair gets special treatment.

An old geezer eating pussy on public transportation during the middle of a pandemic. That's the kinda optics I want for my company. Fuck yeah, MURICA BABY.

It's not even Flair man.

People get worked up over weird shit

If that isn't Flair then there is no issue. Sure does look like him though. And him saying it isn't me isn't enough for me to discount the possibility.

ffs Slik I made a statement and you contradicted me. So I replied. It doesn't mean I'm worked up. Stop being a bitch.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Who gives a shit if someone has sex on a train

I've lived in a big city before where people do wild shit on transit often and I'm not a prude. I'm also a bit of a germaphobe so it's not my ideal place for fucking but for two consenting adults if it is, who fucking cares.

I understand where you're coming from but aren't there rules against engagement in public?

I think you’re missing some important context. The person posting this never said it was Flair. The internet said his hair looked like Flair’s which it does.

I thought it was inferred. So many inappropriate comments down the gutter.

Hungry man gotta eat

Batman would be disappointed.

Well, they DO allegedly use rings from someone who is on the sex offender registry. And they DO use talent who works for someone who is on the sex offender registry.

And before you go there, fuck Ricochet and Moose, as well. And Larry Z.

Yeah, accept they don't use use rings from Chasyn Rance.

How the fuck is Arn Anderson only 62? I feel like he's been around forever.

I think it's cause he looked like he was in his 40's for 30 years.

Hence why I said "Allegedly," as it was a claim made... by Chasyn Rance. Also, it's not like someone who has associated with AEW has ever lied about knowing the guy before... oh yeah.

Here is the thing. AEW is run by the son of a Billionaire. You mean to tell me that, with all the money he spends on the video games, talent, licensing songs, etc. He didn't think to buy at least one goddamned ring?

Also, kind of telling you didn't mention the second half of my post. I fully expect to see Marty Scurrl in an AEW ring.

Probably :lol:

Can't see Vince selling, he'll likely drive it into the ground first, which seems to be his current strategy.

Probably one of the most obvious "opponent does the move" moves ever. I wonder if Vince has figured out yet this move is essentially a flipping piledriver considering nobody's allowed to do a piledriver outside of the tombstone.

No one said rape but you you fucking mong. Consensual sexual acts in public put someone on the sex offender registry, idiot. Peeing in a bush puts you on the registry. Learn what tf you are talking about before trying to gotcha me.

Asuka is someone I would like to see in the womens division in AEW. I think she could help them a lot.

Hell yeah. Her and Thunder Rosa could have some bangers. I think there could be the "theater" between her and Britt Baker as well, they are both very animated when pissed off or mid-match.


Asuka not being used is the big sad.

It's terrible how she isn't used.

And outside of the great matches she could have in AEW I feel like their womens roster could just learn so much from watching and interacting with Asuka.

Please come back:




NXT Asuka
NXT Shinsuke




Watch them be some DLC or something with WWE2k22 - which I totes forgot about till now.


Guess they put up some screenshots of Edge and will have more to come at SummerFest

To be fair, Marko Stunt has fellated dildos in public and Kenny Omega has fingered buttholes in public. If that were Flair all he’d have to do was claim he was eating her out as part of a “falls count anywhere” wrestling match and he’d be good to go.

Taking the absolute biggest break from wrestling that I ever have in my life. It was probably the thing I loved most. People don’t get it and say “wah, wah, wah — don’t watch then.” Well, it’s finally happening. Fuck wrestling.

Fuck AEW.
Fuck WWE.
Fuck the NWA.
Fuck New Japan.
Fuck classic wrestling.

It’s been easier than I suspect. I’ve checked the news a couple of times and listened to some Cornette YouTube clips (not his full show, I’m even off criticism of wrestling). I think I might be properly done soon.

Thanks for the memories, wrestling. You got me through some weird times growing up. But it’s time I realized you haven’t been good to me in a long, long time. Fuck off and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

The WWE surely gets a lot of the blame, but AEW was it for me. I just can’t. The self-indulgent disregard of there being any sort of art to this. The complete waste of potential. I went from being optimistic about wrestling to seeing so clearly that this is not going to be something a reasonable person can enjoy in record time.

So a special big fuck you to AEW for that. And also fuck TPWW for housing some of the most insecure and gormless little marks. I was right when I said WWE sucked way back, and I am right when I say AEW sucks right now.

I’m off to read some books or something.

Yeah, wrestling is pretty "meh" and I don't think it is even possible to ever get me back into it at this point... had some hope with AEW like you, but quickly stopped... there are just better ways to spend my time. That said, I don't begrudge people who choose to watch and enjoy it.

Anyways... what books you gonna read? Any recommendations? Come on over to the Entertainment Forum and lets talk books... that can be your new forum on this message board.

About damn time bitch!
