I see a lot of Buck Zumhofe in Marty Jannety

too soon.

I'm looking forward to the White Rabbit reveal too.

My word!

I see a lot of Marty Jannety in Marty Jannety's daughter.

I got a VHS tape of the “King of the Deathmatch” tournament from Japan on Ebay years ago.

It was taped over a Godzilla movie.

He actually made the overdrive, worst finisher in history, look cool.

He'll always be Skip Over to me.

Skipper was so much better than most guys now.

I thought he called it the Play of the Day, but you can hear them say something about “Overdrive” when he does it the first time in that video. I remember that’s what Orton called the move.

I know some people say they don't respect really stiff wrestling. That the art in wrestling is making things look stiffer than they are. And they're probably right about that.

But I don't fucking care. This is awesome.

Couple of unsafe workers that needed to go through the Performance Centre to learn how to wrestle properly

You're talking about the same company that pretended Lord Tensai wasn't obviously A-Train repackaged as a big white weeb. They tried for weeks to act like he was a totally different guy while fans were chanting "Albert" and such.

I'm not saying it is Edge. I'm just saying that isn't beyond the scope of a WWE thing to do.

Did they pretend Tensai was a different person or did they just not acknowledge his past? There is a slight difference.

To think Dave Meltzer was calling Owens out for being a sellout because he couldn’t go to AEW for as much money. The guy’s headlined WrestleMania against Steve Austin and seems to be having a blast.

I don't think Matt Bloom was intentionally trying to work people online at the time for the sake of holding up kayfabe, it seemed more like he was instructed to be like "nah, that's not me, I have no plans to go back to WWE" even when he was actively on TV. And it was a little farther than just not acknowledging the man had obviously been in the company before. I think at one point they really tried to have Cole sit there and sell the lie of him being a "brand new superstar".

If they tried harder, like maybe sticking a mask on him instead of the Hakushi kanji body paint, it might have worked. Instead, it was more like all the current bullshit with Elias/Ezekiel where he just shaved and is supposed to be his own sibling. It's almost the polar opposite of the fake Razor and Diesel. And oh yeah, there was the fake Razor and Diesel.

Original point being, if WWE does all that presentation and it turns out to not only NOT be Bray Wyatt even with all the signs pointing to it, but does indeed mean someone like Edge, it would not surprise me in the least.

The "a lot for a little" statement is true, but would not be surprising from WWE if that ended up being the payoff. That would be akin to actually being shocked you were disappointed in "next week's big surprise" in TNA every time it happened... because that "big surprise" was nearly always guaranteed to not be worth the "world changing" hype they were giving it.

I said this a few months ago, and thinking back on it along with fairly recent events, I think it's safe to say Rhea Ripley is the current titleholder, and her championship history should include "custody of Dominick".

He and Sami are having the time of their lives since re-signing

I remember when Matt Bloom was doing commentary for NXT as “Jason Albert.”

The match may not have the innate credibility of some of his other bouts, but I’d love it if they ran Gunther vs. Drew Gulak for the IC Title at Extreme Rules in Philly. Could be a really good match that can give that crowd some rasslin’.

They’ve had TV matches that have only gone a few minutes in the past. I don’t know how you set it up. But come on, Triple H.

The B Team might be the worst pushed tag team in company history.

Wow, Seth Rollins is a 6 time tag champ and you'll have my forever respect if you can name his partners. He won the belts with 1 wrestler twice and the rest were one offs.

Reigns and Ambrose are three of the wins, I'm sure

Somehow remember him winning with Jason Jordan

Did he win with Buddy Murphy? I know they were a team

Dean Ambrose
Roman Reigns
John Cena?
Um.... Buddy Murphy?
Uhhhhh... I give up

Got it: Braun

Ambrose ×2
Reigns
Jordan
Murphy
Braun

I have no memory of him and Braun ever teaming up lol

I was looking up Seth Rollins the other day and I saw he and Braun were a team. I have ZERO memory of it.

No memory of him and Braun or him and Jason Jordan.....

Picked John Cena because I swear he did the "win tag title with his enemy" story like 3 or 4 times.

I remember him and Jason Jordan simply because he was rubbing it in Chad Gables face.

I vaguely remember him and Jordan because it was around the whole Jason Jordan is Kurt Angle’s son thing. Holy shit was that fucking weird.

It’s actually Jason Jordan’s birthday today.

100p the hard way. No need to put his other hand on the back of the dude's neck, lmaoooooooooo.




Also, yeah, he didn't tuck that head. I member doing the same thing when I was chokeslammed the 1st time. Head rattled for days.

That's reads better doesn't it.

Kind of surprised by that because in 2017 they used the entire Alamodome

WWE is not immune to waning interest.

They'll still probably claim it's sold out and just keep cameras from panning to the empty areas. :roll:

Meltzer reporting WWE considering Brock vs Roman for the Rumble

They must also be considering Cena versus Orton.

lol called that when they were saying this was the culmination of their feud.

They should have Theory (or whoever has the case by RR time) also win the RR. Go into Mania, fight Reigns and lose, then immediately commence a beat down with help and weapons and stuff, cash in the contract and pin him.

There's still talk that they want to find a way to split the belts which, I guess, would free up Rock/Roman to be for the Universal title without the Rumble involved while the Rumble winner (Cody?) goes for the WWE Title

but all that does is devalue the title

Lol Meltzer.

I mean, it doesn't have to. The two belts were pretty equal for the first few years of the split. They just decided for some reason that the heavyweight title was the new IC title at some point.

Im not arguing against one champion, as its clearly better, but it might be out of their hands as the networks aren't a big fan of it.

But they've proven before it can be done well.

Sometimes I check their roster and get a nice surprise.

I think Cornette described it best when he called it "wrestling's purgatory"

Ricky Morton being in the running for the NWA TV title makes me chuckle.

He should sign with AEW and join the Whispering Pines faction with Sting and Muta.
