Because we like wrestling and wish it was pallatable

3 months from that time, no one will care.

wrestlers will pretend to care, since they know where their bread is buttered.

:lol:

Vince has mentioned in the past about doing this exact same thing because of not wanting to end up the same way as his father. His father didn't get to enjoy being retired and died somewhat quickly afterwards.

Going by what others have said about him, Vince seems the exact type that would be very miserable while retired.

I'll still never understand why he hates sleep. But also love that he's rattled as fuck when he sneezes.

That got me pumped.

Oh, I know, but even we just cannot sit through RAW. This is what they have done to us.

I didn't realise Lock Jaw sold Christian an iPhone and called into the show...

Naito-Ibushi match was amazing tonight. Best match of the show and already one of those must watch matches for the entire G1.

Sounds excellent. I'm still thinking about getting New Japan World, but I still haven't committed. What am I waiting for?

I just threw up a thread, but they actually gave away todays event for free as a kind of teaser, so I'll link that once it's available on demand.

I found this random Paige - Bayley segment to be highly amusing

One of my favorite returns - Edge gets drafted to RAW in 2004

Red, Red, Kroovy :yes:

I feel like I've said this several times before but the 2004 Draft Lottery episode of Raw is one of my favorites ever.

The brand split truly felt important at that time and that was the first time they'd really shifted any of the rosters in a year and a half.

And the follow up....which I wish could've been better.

Getting tickets for the September 25th edition of Raw on Friday. So, that means I'll be attending two events in two days.

STOKED.

I'm a Joe Rogan fan, but pop'd when I saw who showed up in this video. Heard about this but never saw it, and of all the fucking people to be apart of it.....

Why is this a surprise? He was the reality TV king before WWE. Totally thought you meant some sort of unforeseen cameo.

Kurt needs to start wearing Heath Slaters I got kids shirt to keep his job

Yeah! I remember Rogan talking about the incident on his podcast and the retelling the story several times on later podcasts since he does that a lot. I vaguely remember him mentioning Mike Mizanin in one of them.

Here's a video from his podcast where he berates Tony Hinchcliffe with respect to professional wrestling. While he comes across as a jackass in the video, Rogan has acknowledged that professional wrestling is a tough business (on numerous occasions).

They're back :love:

I've never seen that show before, and that just changed my life.

Seriously, don't know why I love this so much. I went back and watched their MITB review...FUCKING HILARIOUS.

Yeah! They're adorable.
