Do we know the reason?

If it’s “We got too much fucking content as is, let’s reel back some of this shit”, good move.

Can’t do much about 5 hours of “A-show” a week at this point but you can cut some of those 50 yearly PPVs.

What does PLE stand for?

Also Day 1 is a terrible name for a PPV.

Premium Live Event

I can see them trying to bring back TLC in December.

Armageddon or bust.

Knowing Triple H, they will probably try to make Starrcade a thing.

Got peacock to watch yellowstone. Figured id check out the wrestling section while im here. Ecw is completely unwatchable. I get the whys but the music being dubbed over really damages the product. Ecw leaned heavily with style. Heavy metal/punk rock counter culture wrestling. Losing that costs the product a ton. Im thankful i have my tape library because this isnt the historical record.

Even the commercials hyping upcoming events had kick ass music. Connection by Elastica baby!

Im not saying they should spend the money for the tracks though. Its just a grossly inferior version. Like seeing the sunrise from the wrong side. Its just not the same.

That song is a gem

I had that issue of wwf magazine.

Hang onto this link for about... 13 days.

The name "Master Blasters" doesn't really fit that imagery IMO.

After all these years, Earl Hebner has changed his story I guess and now says the whole thing was a work, re: montreal screwjob.

Must have a book or something to flog so he's saying anything to get attention.

Earl’s probably been grappling with his own mortality. Time to cash in as best he can.

If it was a work why would he need to sprint out of the building and hop into a running car? His own actions go completely against the it was a work admission.

Glad he's finally speaking the truth

You have to respect his courage.

so brave.

Lol what? I've seen countless angles in wrestling where someone goes running out the arena afterwards. That's part of selling it as real lol

If it spills outside the arena it is officially a shoot.

The real Vince McMahon was blown up in his limo in 2007.

The guy they replaced him with ruined his legacy.

Watched this gif like 20 times. I don't think I've seen a move that looks simultaneously awkward and cool at the same time as much as this one.

Kevin Nash’s son Tristen passed away. 26 years old. Fucking wild. Was just listening to them this morning on his podcast. They were promoting his concert coming up. Gutted.

On Scott’s birthday. Holy fuck.

Oh my God, dude I literally just finished it as well. That's heartbreaking.

Hmmm, dunno if it has anything to do with Hebner deciding to say the screwjob was a work, but Bret was also at the same event speaking and went on a tirade about how Goldberg shouldn't be in the HoF and WWE needs to remove him.

Wish Bret and Punk were both from the same era and went against each other in a battle of the bitter.

Sucks to hear about Nash's son. RIP

Ugh.....poor Big Kev :( absolutely terrible

I’m a fan of Bret’s. I don’t even think of him as bitter. It’s a reductive way of avoiding his criticisms of wrestling, as it is with Punk — or anyone dismissed with it. But he really needs to back off on Goldberg imo. Was Goldberg the most pristine worker in 1999? No. But he is one of wrestling’s few megastars. He’s put the asses in the seats and is still an attraction to this day.

Owen broke someone’s neck in the ring. Austin broke someone’s neck in the ring. Goldberg fucked up a spot. It sucks. But the crusade against him 25 years later is a bit much.

Sucks about Kevin Nash’s son.

His crusade continues because he's bitter

There’s a difference between running away on camera as a work and leaving the building as a shoot.

Uhg...no cause of death has been officially revealed, but it seems like he may have taken his own life. One his friends posted on his timeline after the news broke and said "Damn dude, life wasn't that bad :'(" and his last few posts sounded like someone in desperate need of help. Fuck this sucks.

How dare you make sense!?

That’s kinda what I assumed when it comes to someone that age going so suddenly. He’s had trouble with Kevin in the past two (domestic disturbance). Just a rough situation for those invested.

That sucks so much. I have been listening to the podcast at night after work and he is always mentioning him and always had a big smile when he was talking about him. You could tell he was proud of him.

You could also tell, in other moments, how upset he still was over Hall’s death. I can’t imagine what he is going through.

The man...... has a point..

Shelton Benjamin and R-Truth are putting together a tag team on Main Event. Pretty good “character work” between the two. Looks like they’re going to be serious veterans looking to take advantage of the time they have left.

Apparently Main Event has featured a lot of NXT talent recently, giving them experience in front of crowds and working vets.

Yeah they had Grimes and Duke Hudson this past week work with Tozawa and Cedric Alexander respectively

Had no idea Main Event was still even a show....

I've probably posted this before. But I feel like posting it again. Because... it's fucking bad ass.

The Lapsed Fan did a two part podcast on Black Saturday. They are MASSIVE shows though. Totalling 14 hours. Bix and Zellner helped them with research . It's tremendous so far

My hope is that it continues on the pace that it does and it becomes something like Sunday Night Heat was.


Fuck if HHH is all about doing nostalgic shit let's bring back Sunday night Heat

I love The Lapsed Fan. At first I found their inside jokes off-putting, but they somehow grow on you. They really go in deep to a subject.

I was thinking about Heat the other day lol. There’s no reason Main Event can’t be its own little intriguing thing. He might even be able to shop it somewhere, unless NBC Universal REALLY wants it for exclusive Peacock programming.

It’s a shame how Danielson has ended up. Kurt Angle in TNA vibes.

NXT Halloween Havoc was tonight....... 'member when NXT specials were "must see" events? Now they don't even get a thread....

To be fair there’s something like 4 posters here.

I like the idea of Austin Theory having a feud with Bron Breakker. Main event of Deadline can be them for the belt with Shawn Michaels as special ref.

We arent supposed to talk about NXT anymore, that would be disloyal to Tiny.

Anyone else getting the paycheck from Tony not to talk about NXT?

No paycheck. It’s just not really worth talking about. I woke up in the night and put the show on, at some point the app crashed and signed me out. Couldn’t be bothered to log back in. Went to watch it when I actually got out of bed, again got to the log in and was just like “nah”. Ended up reading the results. I’m sure some of the stuff was decent: ladder match, triple threat main but I don’t feel like I’m missing out.

Though to be fair, I feel the same way about AEW at the minute.

Yeah, there’s nothing new I’m watching.

Ladder match and triple threat match are def worth watching. I liked Shawn Michaels comments on being open to feedback, they had 6 matches instead of 5 and he said he thought it overlong.

Was impressed with all in the ladder match , wonder if it will be someone known who is in the person in the red hoodie (Nikki Cross? is a guess for me).
DD coming back to NXT too.

Wow, it looks like a new Kliq This episode tomorrow. I can't believe Nash did one. This is going to be heartbreaking.

Not excited for that. :'(

I started watching these out of boredom. I don't know much about the territory days and these episodes have been AMAZING.


Found myself from stumbling on it, to watching every episode now.

What is it on?

It’s on Vice, they seem to be cornering the niche documentary market single handedly right now.

There’s Memphis, Lawler & Kaufman and AWA so far.
I watched Memphis last night and it was good fun seeing both Jarrett’s, Lawler, Jimmy Hart and Dutch Mantell talking without having any detractors. Lawler looks weird nowadays. You can tell he has had a face lift or something but it’s almost like he has a Lego man’s head with real skin on it. Reminds me of Putin now.

Listened to a bit of Kevin Nash's podcast

Tristan apparently had a seizure which led to heart failure. Kevin said they had both quit drinking recently and Tristan wasn't feeling well. Fuck. That's so horrible.

Rey Mysterio stopped doing the West Coast Pop in favor of a springboard body press type of thing where he would just fall foward on the guy... West Coast Pop was so much cooler

Think that's cause the West Coast Pop was destorying his knees

Meltzer reports there is talk of putting Lacey Evans in Bray's new stable

oh no
