also not once in there does she deny the allegations against her husband. you'd think that would be a priority if it weren't true... just an insane post for so many reasons.

I was thinking that too but then I considered that she can’t really DENY the allegations on his behalf. She can only say “I think you’re lying and I’m taking his word over yours” which is pretty clear from the rest of the post. Lol

i didn't even know that match happened and now I gotta watch it

Vickie basically saying "so what if he raped you, he bought you a car didnt he?"

Somebody remind Fan that my take on Vickie should not still be using Eddie's name to make money is even stronger since she is allowing his daughter to be raped. #sorrynotsorry

I lie, I cheat, I'm a terrible mother

Guys this is obviously a work.

Vicky/Dominick vs Rey/Sherilyn at the biggest party of the summer.

Very happy for you finding a better excuse to hate Vickie than disapproving of her burial plans. We all know the REAL reason you hate her though, Rick Steiner…

Vickie and Eddie used to get into massive fights back in the day, mostly when Eddie and Vickie were drinking.

I mean there's a difference between a young-ish couple getting into drunken fights (especially when one of them is a known hostile drunk) and whatever the fuck this situation is.

Sad thinking about how Eddie never got the chance to drink a White Claw with Tony.

:'(

Something’s come along in Vickie’s life and fucked her up — who knows if that was before, during or after Eddie.

Veer is coming again.

I don’t understand why they don’t tell his story and make him a babyface.

They should just lean into it and imply "jizzing".

Veer is the new Val Venis.

Val Veernis

Logan Paul signed a new multi-year deal with WWE.

No surprise there.

AAA Mexico just announced the title match for one of their biggest shows of the year that is in less than a week.

Hijo del Vikingo vs. Komander vs. Rich Swann vs. Swerve Strickland

Swann and Swerve have not appeared on AAA TV in the last 2 years. Wonder if AAA will tell their fans why they should care. (they won't)

If AEW doesn't need to tell people why to care about people they bring in, AAA shouldn't have to

Feels like TK also owns AAA secretly.

I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that a lot of AAA’s business comes from tourists anyway. It’s probably not that weird that they just throw whatever “names” they’ve got out there.

what is that sneaking suspicion based on exactly?

Depends on where the show is. There's quite a few fans from California that make the trip, but I wouldn't call them tourists. I would totally do that if I lived in the area.

Yeah, I think I’ve heard Konnan talk about it. I doubt tourists are tracking down dingy little house shows in the roughest places or anything, but I have a friend who travelled Mexico — not a fan of wrestling in the slightest — had ended up at some lucha event because it was the “thing” she got pointed to do when in Mexico.

Damn, checkmate.

I took that as Dave snidely saying that other companies do the same thing.

Dark side of the Ring season 4 on May 30th.

One of the episodes known about so far covers the Magnum TA car accident. Feel like we need to watch that one as a group.

Other eps known so far are Chris Candido/Sunny, Abdullah The Butcher and Marty Jannety.

They gotttttttta do a Chris Adams one.

They should do one about me, Lock Jaw, and how I was screwed out of my position as Anonymous RAW GM and then replaced by Hornswoggle in the storyline reveal....

I'd watch that if only for the bit where you confess your undying love to Swoggle only to be stabbed in the back by your one true love.

Was thinking about giving NXT a go today. I dunno…

Was also thinking about giving AEW a go tomorrow for a laugh, but there’s nowhere convenient to watch it.

AEW has a TV deal in Australia.

Yeah if you wanna pay like 75 dollars a month extra for one of the sports packages.

Seriously, this is coming from experience in Australia/New Zealand. They have a lot of freedom in terms of setting up exactly what you want in your TV package, but it can get super fucking pricy in a hurry.

Unless it's available on ESPN+ app as well over there, in which case that's like maybe 10 bucks a month now tops.

IPTV through my Android box is the greatest $20 a month I could ever spend.

Yeah, the sports pack through Foxtel (I know of two people who still have Foxtel) is $75 a month. Even my boomer parents canceled cable. Anyone who watches sport generally does so through apps like Kayo. I couldn’t even find a friend with ESPN.

Somewhat Off topic, but talking about having more options, the NFL package info was announced today, and dashed all hopes of having a per game or per team option. The idea/hope that Google was going to have better options than Directv had for 25 years just evaporated. I am not trying to pay to watch like the Falcons or Texans, bastard NFL!

Made this after seeing the new Anna Jay shirt, probably isn't funny

https://i.ibb.co/0ZzJ0pv/Picsart-23-...-56-05-285.png

Conversely, WWE is on Binge, which is an app that is basically what Foxtel was, but now an app you pay your average $10-$14 per month on (I can’t even remember what it is). They’re basically what Peacock is to the WWE Network in the US. We’re waiting on lots of stuff. They need to go through and date classic episodes of Raw. King of the Ring wasn’t up the other day when I checked (but got added like literally in the last few days). There’s no Over the Limit. There’s no ECW. WCW stuff is limited (there’s more wXw stuff). It’s not perfect, but it’s easier in Australia to track down EVOLVE shows (they’re on Binge) than it is AEW.

Well, I guess AEW is/was on FITE, but fuck that.

Exactly, y'all bitch about Tony Khan doing this dumb shit, but AAA does the exact same shit and has for years and it's so much worse because it's a Wrestlemania level show.

Way more egregious when a US-based promotion does it because of the culture and context of the shows. It’s not a 1:1. You seem to be upset that a lucha promotion is doing it while being completely fine with a TV insulting its audience by making them do the work to understand what the hell is going on.

See how Bret protected the business by gently lowering that kid into the backbreaker? Modern wrestlers would just throw their whole arsenal at that kid and he’d kick out at two.

And it's also dumb as shit when they do it, that's the point.

I can’t believe I actually agree with screech here.

It has been 26 years since the first ECW PPV, Barely Legal. Terry Funk defeated Raven in the main event to win the ECW title.

Forget about that, we’ve got AEW now, which draws even more on PPV. When you count international sales and factor in the show can be bought digitally and on-demand.

Listened to a clip last night of Hogan talking about how he jobbed to Kidman and made him a star but then Russo butchered the follow-up.

He said “After me, Kidman should have taken down Sting, run through Goldberg and won the belt” and now I’m just picturing Kidman squashing Goldberg.

I enjoyed Kidman as an in-ring performer but he had pretty much negative charisma.

Kinda weird in hindsight because you'd have to assume that Kidman had some real-life charm or charisma to be fucking a prime Torrie Wilson.

Kidman has charisma. He just reeked of cruiserweight at a time that meant you were in a box.

I'm inclined to believe virtually nothing that comes out of Hogan's dick holster, but Russo sucking at his job is pretty much on brand.

Add John Morrison to the list of pro wrestlers who have won a professional fight. Nobody tell CM Phil :rofl::rofl::rofl:

John Morrison is fantastic. It’s a shame he’ll probably end up in AEW.

Love me some John Morrison.

There was that period of time where it felt like he was stealing the show every PPV. It was years ago now. I still think he’d be a valuable hand.

ngl I was kinda bummed he lost his spot when Miz went down with the injury last year. Johnny Drip Drip wasnt his best version but he could still put on a fun show in the ring like few can.

He was one of the more surprising releases imo

Kidman in WCW was amazing, especially around 1999 when he had a string of matches with guys like Rey Mysterio, Juventud Guerrera and Psychosis.

Remember when Kid Kash was WWE cruiserweight champ?

I barely remember him being in the company.

it was an amateur fight

kidman had charisma. He lacked character

What's more pro than fighting the Epic Meal Time guy?

I remember him teaming with Jamie Noble as The Pitbulls.

I don't really follow boxing or know anything about it, but what's the differences in terms of pro and amateur? I saw the clip of this and it looked like a packed arena. Wouldn't for a second have thought that wasn't a "professional" fight.

He was fighting a YouTube personality who isn't a licensed pro boxer.

Ahh we talked about this before, sad I missed it.

Will have to catch some clips.

Terry Gordy is another guy who just might be my favorite wrestler

a ton. The rules are different. Its judged differently (strikes landed vs rounds won.) How pay works is different (Pro is negotiated vs amateur is winners purse.) The number of rounds are different (3 vs 12.) And that well before we get into the quality aspect. A pro fighter is licensed. Anyone off the street can be an amateur boxer. For instance epic meal time guy this is his 2nd amateur bout. A 0-0 pro could have dozens of amateur bouts. Theyre barely the same thing. With the way scoring works and the number of rounds amateur boxing is by design fast and frantic. Pro boxing is calculated and deliberate. Butts in seats are irrelevant as are pay days.

I either forgot or didn’t know Lance Cade died in 2010.

LOOOOOOVED me some Lance Cade back in the day. Especially his finisher. He always seemed awkward going for the pin after hitting it. Weird memory of it

They really wanted Lance Cade to be a thing for a minute there.

Lmao see how awkward he was! Just pin him like a Sky High Cade!

It’s like he’s desperately trying to innovate something and he’s constantly discovering there are reasons it didn’t work that way in the first place.

lmao why did he make the extra motion?

Ted DiBiase Jr. charged with misappropriating millions in federal COVID money.

Looking at a lot of time behind bars if convicted of everything.

Here's the story.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...211322708.html

This appears to be a separate issue from the one he and his father were involved in years back. These DiBiase Boys just can’t help themselves.

Well, helping themselves is kind of the issue, isn’t it?

He waited a long time before hitting the move too. Lance Cade that is.

I still wonder if Sr. Did the laugh after getting the deal done.

Sr. really is a piece of fucking work (obviously Junior might be even worse). Dude loves to tell his redemption story, and I believe he's a preacher--and he's been stealing from the poor.

The sad part is none of this is all that surprising. Anyone (but any wrestler specifically) who claims to have found God is questionable in my book.

Apart from HBK, of course.

Nah I'm willing to guess he's an asshole still lol.

He’s probably just an asshole who goes to church on Sunday to say he’s sorry then goes back to being an asshole.

People (including myself) who thought wrestling was dead are about to EAT THEIR WORDS!

I still believe the Dibiase Posse gimmick could have worked. Guy had the look to pull it off and the fact that his dad was a legendary rich snob heel just made it perfect. Could have been a perfect throwback old school babyface gimmick. I don’t think wrestling was ready to go back to a true “nice guy” face yet though. Still had to have that Austin edge. Unfortunate.

For so many religion is the work that doesn’t require you to bump.

Sr. still shows up on WWE TV occasionally, doesn’t he? Gotta get paid from both ends.

Lol I will watch WWE every week if he comes back

It was just so cornball. I was never a DiBiase fan, but he's definitely better as a heel.
