Wrestling is at its most popular when the in ring product is at its worst.

Seems like quite the character journey for him in TNA.... comedy character who was scared of his own pyro turns into violence worshipping cult leader who gets stabbed to death.
|
Supposedly EY is going back to WWE
|
Sigh, and just when I was about to give Impact a chance again.
|
Is the joke that nobody watches Impact so you can literally get away with murder?
|
Also laughing that the cameraman will stand by and film a murder, editors will edit it together with some slick music and effects, and producers will air it.
|
Dear Lock Jaw,
Wrestling is not real. Warm Regards, Mgmt |
But there is the element of "reality" to it.... so while I wouldn't question the camera people of Game of Thrones, I would question the camera people of rassling.

Sooooo good!

For me, the most jarring example of the phenomenon that tweet discusses came during our watch-along when I realized that AJ Styles is old enough to be ‘86 Magnum TA’s dad.
|
Judy Martin and Leilani Kai are 32 and 27 here respectively
https://transform.nws.ai/https%3A//c..._1200,c_limit/ |
Judy Martin is the same age there as Mandy Rose
https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery...2aaa59671e.png |
Wow! Good reminder of how there's no universal look to an age.
|
Judy Martin is 32 going on 60 there.
|
Go look at any high school yearbook from the late 80s/early 90s. Everyone looks like they’re in their 30s. Major changes in styles.
|
I’m betting Harley Race looked like he was in his 60s in high school.
|
I could not find his yearbook picture but here he is at 20…
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._July_1968.jpg So… Good assumption. |
He was wrestling at 16.

The wife got me tickets to Raw in Nashville next month, haven't been to a live show since Smackdown 99 for the tag team buried alive match. Pretty stoked.
|
I hope the show goes well. Unfortunately you’re probably not getting a Jeff Jarrett appearance. :lol:

It's lower bowl so pretty decent seats, also on camera side. I'll bring the obligatory TPWW.NET sign also.

Barry Windham in ICU after a massive heart attack

Underwent emergency surgery to save his life. Hopefully all is good.
Now seems like a good time to re-hash the argument I made last year that Barry deserves to be mentioned in the GOAT conversation WAY more often. |

On ROH media call Tony Khan said he has secured a tv deal for ROH on their own streaming service, Honor Club. Fans will be able to watch ROH for $10 a month. He will announce more information at a later date.
He said he expects this streaming deal to help ROH grow their audience and attract more eyeballs. |
Meltzer speculates an ROH vs AEW ppv could be in the near future, perhaps as a Forbidden Door ppv
|
a tv deal on their own streaming service
|
Let me guess:
1. After Starks, MJF is gonna have a program with Castagnoli to unify the AEW and ROH Titles. 2. Joe is just going to stop randomly carrying the ROH TV Title to the ring. 3. Rosa upsets Athena. Rosa then gets rolled up and fasted counted by the Arachnid Woman, who is revealed to be Britt Baker. Britt then feuds with Jaime, but the ROH Women's title is seen as more prestigious. 4. ROH Tag belts fall off the face of the earth, for some reason. 5. Orange Cassidy joins the never ending Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia feud. Why? Who Knows? Who cares? 6. The Embassy lose the ROH Six Man Titles to the House of Black, because the Bucks refuse to work against a team of Hosses. House of Black face the Bucks and Omega in a best of 39 series that never reaches a conclusion, because AEW loses their TV due to lack of ratings. |

Found this while Christmas shopping this weekend. Close enough. |
Just my opinion - but both HHH/TK struggle with some booking:
TK is not good at striking while the iron is hot/consistently putting people on TV HHH, if someone is not naturally charismatic, struggles to present them to a wider audience with a defined character. |
