I love pro-wrestling.

Haha. Gene had to work hard not to corpse there.

Mean Gene is a diamond.

Word is they’ve pulled Roman off MITB. Downscaled the event, lost Cody, and removed the only draw they have off the show. #FEDDED

Lol Still so insane that they thought putting MITB in a fucking football stadium was a good idea.

THIS IS AWESOME! (CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP)

Gene used to laugh all time time doing local promos in the mid 80s. For whatever reason Paul Orndorff was the main culprit.

Lol you can see Gene try not to smile.

LOL what the hell? Who is Ashule, and Seth "Franklin" Rollins is amazing :rofl:

the event name seems stunningly apropos!

Guessing it’s Asuka :lol:

I thought it was “Ashley”.

As in they don’t watch wrestling, got a note saying “Ric Flair’s daughter is in the match!”, quickly asked someone what Ric Flair’s daughter’s name was, never heard of the name “Ashley” and typed what they heard phonetically over the noise of a busy Hard Rock casino.

I put more thought into that post than has been put into a WWE storyline in 20 years.

I think that stage collapsing was poetic in hindsight.

Lol, if you want the WWE Champion, you’ve got to show up.

They had him.

They didn’t care to show up.

So WWE had to scale down the venue.

Wrestling is dead, in case you hadn’t heard.

We’re coming up on the 8 year anniversary of Triple H’s “my friend Mark” promo making fun of fans for threatening to tune out. They averaged just 4.4 million viewers that night. This past Monday they averaged just under 1.9m. That promo is going to forever be a meme showing how dense the company is when it comes to reaching their fan base. Lmao guess Mark and friends weren’t lying.

Midway through Regal's second episode. Better than the first but he rambles more than any wrestler podcast that I've heard. Plus his voice. So monotone. Sounds like a British Hannibal.

I've dropped Muraco's and Regal's podcast from the rotation. Foley's has been added. Nash's podcast with Sean Oliver comes out in July and I imagine I'll need room for that.

Muraco’s must be real bad if you can’t do it.

I remember this one time we were covering a local rassling fed and this big strongman type picked up this tiny little underdog type rassler and just tossed him out of the ring into a structural beam... his foot caught our camera dude on the way down.... Camera operator no sold it though and didn't even fall down.

This other time one dude grabbed our camera cable and used it to choke his opponent, including putting it inside his mouth and pulling and all of us in the truck were just like "What is he doing?! No, stop that!"

He's so marble mouthed lol. And his stories go nowhere half the time.

They fucking edited the crowd response. When it happened, the fucking roof came off. In WWE'S clip, the crowd is about as lively as youd find in a Jinder Mahal match.

What possible fucking benefit could you get from ruining these clips like this?
