Now this is what I call being a true fan

Lashley took a dangerous spill tonight because Vince’s lack of attention to detail has deteriorated from just his storytelling to simply making sure the ring works. :nono:

Oof.

Am I seeing that right? Did one of the ropes actually snap in the middle?

You can see that he landed in a rather safe way, at least on the apron. Hopefully he didn't land on top of his head though.

Look like Drew hit it right before Lashley..... like not even a full second, and he went over like that.


Ouch though.

Yeah, Drew lightly hitting the ropes is what forced the top rope to give way. They look really loose.

It didn't give way from the corner though. If you slow-mo it the rope snaps in the middle. I'd figure that would be more likely if the ropes were too tight. Maybe the rope had finally just worn out after repeated use for however long they've been using that particular set.

Havent you been paying attention? It is all LITERALLY the same day!

Who would spend the time to do this? To go through this guys timeline to find this tweet to pair it to another. I am flabbergasted.

I know this might be hard for cumdorkx to comprehend. But…opinions can change over a 4 year period.

Oof.

This dude Walt Clyde (I think) keeps popping up in my YouTube feed (never watched a video of his), he’s another dude making a little bit of money appealing to the WWE cultists (maybe start a YT channel xrod?). Dude legit thinks WWE are following his channel because he suggested they should book Cody to take the title of Reigns, and there are small hints towards that happening. He’s in a “feud” with this JDfromNY guy (who I guess is another YouTuber?) who’s seemingly an AEW cultist. I don’t know if he went back through the timeline and took the screenshots himself but he definitely posted it on his community channel.

One thing doesn’t change even over 18 years though. Basic Thuganomics.

WORD LIFE!

Andre in bright Hogan-yellow, Hart Foundation in blue..... my world is turned upside-down right now, don't know what to believe in anymore....

Always used to use Bret’s blue gear on one of the old NES games where it was an option.

Yeah love me some blue Hart foundation. There were black and goldish alternates I believe. May have been more yellow, sort of like the Killer Bs.

They had some GREAT matches even before going all pink.

No memories of anything other than pink....

Well unless you're in your 40s, you'd have to find old footage, as I did. Jawstein.

Read that as Jewstein for a minute.

That clip is from Mania 2’s Battle Royal. It was one of the first VHS tapes I got when I got into wrestling. No idea why that one. It would have been around 1992, I had 2, 6, and 8 on VHS.

Yup! Andre changing to the singlet was badly needed lol. He looked like he was about to drop dead of a heart attack by the end.

They wrestled in purple as well

Taking over earth but still kick it in ur anus!

damned right they did.

We live in a world where we have one thread for SmackDown, one for Raw, one for IMPACT, one for NWA, but multiple for the backyard garbage (no, not AEW). This wouldn’t happen over at SPPW forums that’s for sure.

Ordered this t shirt in white on rebubble.

Love RedBubble. I got a few Norm shirts and this gem from there a couple months ago...

https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.5048...-bg,f8f8f8.jpg

Not quite the right shade of yellow but wrestling nerds can’t be choosers.

I had a Rock n' Wrestling sticker book that I was fond of as a kid...

'Member sticker books?

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ePsAA...Tkp/s-l400.jpg

I had that one

I was watching some AWA recently, because it’s a part of wrestling history that I’m aware existed, but I don’t really spend much time thinking about. Verne did a show called Super Sunday in 1983. I’m pretty sure it’s on the Network. Pretty surreal to see Hogan not only not in yellow or blue trunks, but actually wrestling someone else wearing yellow.

Random wrestling memory I’ve got: I was on holiday with my family as a kid so my folks let me rent some videos from the local video store. They had some wrestling tapes from way back that I had never been able to grab before. The two I managed to grab were Rumble ‘92 and Mania X. I’m pretty sure the clerk kept them stocked because of just how good they were (most of the others were more modern releases).

Looking at you Lashley

Imagine Randy Orton in pants. Disgusting.

Yeah there’s no way he’s as over if he doesn’t have those thighs on display. How could Razor possibly harness the full power of his machismo that way?

Hogan in white trunks was such a weird sight when I first saw him

I’d seen him in the baby blue from early WWF days, but it’s just weird seeing him in much else. His black Japanese trunks with the inchiban symbol are odd too.

100.

The general rule was that you wore tights to hide your legs (Edge, HBK, Jericho). Hall did not have that issue.

I think Bobby Lashley is the exception. Switching to the longer gear somehow made him look more big time.

Probably because he was at the "I don't care about this guy at all" stage that most WWE rasslers get to, so switching up his look a bit helped for a revitalization.

Dark Side of the Ring has been canceled.

Can’t wait to hear the story on Dark Side of Dark Side of the Ring.

I heard they pissed off too many wrestlers/wrestling personalities (aka Jim Ross) with last season lol

I'll never get my Chris Adams episode.

I’m sure I read the producers are working on something with WWE.

I think it's "The Great Works and Deeds of The McMahon Family and Associates" documentary at last! Yes indeed!

:n: I fucking loved that show. It was such a different perspective than most wrestling documentaries and podcasts. A lot of wrestling personalities (i.e. Jim Ross) took it too personally imo and saw it as "burying the business" but I disagree because it was made to look at the negative side and tragedies of wrestling.

From what I've seen, the problems did arise from the Plane Ride From Hell episode.

Yeah, I think it was the act of changing as opposed to what he got changed into.

what it do.

Pfft everybody knows you can have a birthday every day of the year. Just ask Triple A :shifty:

Having a casual browse on Wikipedia at premature wrestling deaths... crazy how I'm now older than a lot of guys were when they died.

Test was 33 when he died! Crash Holly was 32! They seemed so old and grown up to me back then. I'm now 35.

Just crazy looking at how young a lot of these guys really were, not only when they died, but when they were on TV.

test was 33? damn. i would have guessed at least 40. wild.

Chris Candido had just turned 33. Same with Eddie Gilbert and Kerry Von Erich

yea

Louie Spiccoli, man…

yeah

what

Adrian Adonis was just 34

Kerry is the most bizarre one for me to think about. I know he started young but the guy seemed like he fit in all the makings of a full career before he died despite the fact that if he were alive today he’d be younger than Sting. It’s crazy to think how much he could have done and could still be doing if not for the Von Erich “curse”.

yeah

Lance Cade was 29.

" "Meriden Championship Wrestling's HardKore had a reign of terror in 2000-2001 that may still be unmatched. He didn't sign his contract to wrestle but to vanquish and maim. Relive the history!" "


I was not aware of Meriden Championship Wrestling back in 2000, I remember following VBW back then, pre YouTube days, but this brings back good memories of vintage wrestling.

noam dar and sha samuels are a delight on nxtuk. the supernova sessions is usually a very effective and to the point interview segment.

pretty excited for this isla dawn/meiko satomura title match. meiko is obviously great, but isla dawn has come a long way since nxtuk kicked off. this feud with meiko has really brought it out of dawn.

will be interesting to see how this influx of NA talent (von wagner, damon kemp, ivy nile, lash legend, i think that's it?) goes in nxtuk.

isla dawn carrying around a lock of dani luna's hair like she's shaska whatley

BUT THERE AIN'T NO BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN IN THE MIX BABY

solid defense by meiko. even with this match being a "world of darkness" gimmick match at dawn's request, it didn't feel gimmicky. this feud actually had time to breathe, from isla as just a "plucky" challenger on her first attempt, turning heel by her second, and going full gimmick on the third. meiko just remained the badass "final boss" that she is.

Isla Dawn would get it

there's a gif i saw a while back from a match between her and ivelisse and it was nothing but wonderful butts.

not gonna search for it on my work computer because i'm pretty sure one of the keywords was "cameltoe"...
