Colt isn’t punk rock though so he’s allowed to sue.

Shit I checked, you are right. It was Punk who tried to charge Colt Money after saying he would cover the court costs. That one is on me, still he shouldn't have said he would cover the defense for Colt then try and come at Colt to split the bill.

No that was just stupid

He likes to have had his hands on everything. There’s no real reason why they felt compelled to change WALTER’s name or Marcel Barthel’s, which is already a name they gave him. I guess it’s because Gonzalez is her real last name.

Pete Dunne is essentially Scrappy Doo now.

Please, it is not like it is some deeply nuanced ideology. Anti establishment, do it yourself philosophy, counter culture, yada yada yada. None of that gels with wearing suits and going through the legal system.

clueless

Damn. I am about to rob SO many punk rockers and get away with it.

Your Shoeless!

I once bought Wrestling Road Diaries from Colt and he was nice enough to include a personal note and an autograph. I bought “Best in the World” from Best Buy and Phil shat on me for not having tattoos. If that’s not punk rock, I don’t even know anymore.

shoeless joe from hannibal, mo

yeah I prefer my reference thank you very much

When I think of punk rock, I think of Anne Frank, Marie Curie and Mother Teresa. Those bitches went hard.

Was Weapon X to ron the dial racist?

Wait. You don’t have tattoos. I hope what you’re saying is you didn’t have tattoos when you watched it, but now you’re covered in them. Otherwise, I’d have to question all of your contributions to this forum.

I wonder if xrod knows about the Dead Kennedys song where they tell Phil to fuck off

I dont, do they have beef with Lars or something?

I have a RC Cola tramp stamp.

Yeah, they really liked Napster.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Well played! I got banned from Napster for downloading the song I Disappear, which if your Napster account is going to disappear, it is kind of the perfect song to get banned for. :D

All of you are just sitting there glistening on the shaft of a veiny Cock.

Really looking forward to Thomas Champini debuting to be part of Edge’s new stable.

Kind of hope they bring back Gargano to team with Ciampa in that killer tag division.

I actually invented Napster....Seth Green's character in The Italian Job is based on a fictional version of me but that Napster story is 100 percent true!

LOL Orton dropping curse words on Network TV like he is on cable right now :rofl:

LA Knight going to be a manager on SmackDown it seems

what are all the 205 guys interviewers now

That’s about right. Take a guy who fits the mould you’ve created of what a proper “sports entertainer” should be and put him in a role that you’ve basically made meaningless over the past 25 years.

He's a pretty boring wrestler from what I've seen of him so could see how this makes sense... also find his talking kinda boring and "Miz-like" though but I guess he's considered a good talker to most

Jimmy Yang Wang runs a successful party bus service in my local area. Seems like a good dude. This is not a commentary on racism. Thanks.

He’s a real cowboy though. Dude lives the gimmick.

Do you think that Pat fucked up here? Was it an ad-libbed commentary line?

o.o

SmackDown was really good. I can’t believe it, but Butch is actually working. Drew Gulak is amazing. Love him in this role. Madcap Moss getting over with me. Randy Orton’s promo was fire. Pat McAfee is a good commentator. WWE commentary doesn’t seem as “bad” to me lately. I actually enjoyed the Smith, Saxton and Lawler team from what I saw of Raw.

I said Graves earlier, but he’s the one I’m glad is gone.

First they do The House of Black lite with Edge on RAW, and now they are doing a HFO gimmick.




shame.

LA Knight would make a great spokesperson for Ronda Rousey and/or Bobby Lashley.

poor drew gulock now ronda is beating on him i bet he wishes wwe got rid of him.

sick um butch

How did they turn Shayna into Nattie's lackey of all things?

Enjoying most of this Smackdown!

Loved the Sami/Roman stuff

Sounds like a good show. The tag team stuff going across the two shows is smart. Hopefully Madcap Moss and Gunther work out, because I see a lot in those guys.

Kind of weird that they’re just dropping Reigns/Nakamura. Or seem to be. Maybe they’ll come back to it. I wonder if something is going on with him.

Enjoyed the show this week, as I do most weeks.

But I've been skipping the Lacey Evans stuff. Watched maybe three minutes of the first "rough childhood" segment and said fuck that.

I think those segments have been pretty good. I hope they can stick the landing though. They did a great job with the intro to Xia Li, then she was off tv for weeks, and now she’s a heel?

Dropping Nakamure // Reigns so Reigns doesn't look bad.

It’s hard to care about too many of the women outside the main programs. Lacey Evans looks great, but I’d rather see her do porn than wrestle at this point. There are only so many slots that can be inhabited by people that draw real interest.

Noid and his horny posts :shifty:

If you want to see me horny post, check out my fantasy booking for the AEW/New Japan show and who I’ve got in the six-man tag. ;)

A veteran and a proud mother who's overcome trauma and abuse. A shoo-in for porn.

Who do you think does porn, Dave?

Usually people who are not financially stable or have an affinity for it. Seems like Evans has none of it. Tough luck.

I always wanted to see Imperium running roughshod over the SmackDown until Regal brings together his own group of grapplers to go up against them as their equals. Cesaro, Bryan, Thatcher, plus one other if it was 4 man Imperium. That’s a few months of killer 10-20 minute matches on TV.

Oh well.

There’s still elements of that they can do. I like the idea of Gunther & Ludvig as the two man unit. Cesaro could come back and team with Aichner (a one time protege). Sign Thatcher, Lorcan and Burch back. Thatcher will need a partner. I’m sure there’s another great grappler somewhere I’m forgetting about. I guess he and Ciampa had a thing for a while, but I’d bring back Gargano to team with him.

Imagine the tag series you could have with:

* Instinct
* Cesaro & Aichner
* Lorcan & Burch
* Thatcher & …let’s go Gulak
* Ciampa & Gargano
* Throw in Tyler Bate & Ilya Dragonov

You can have the tag belts floating about and allowing them to go between shows every now and then.

Yeah there’s still ways to do, and I think the idea actually grew out of the Bryan/Gulak relationship- before I then forgot about Gulak completely.

Also couldn’t remember who Thatcher had teamed with before, but yeah Ciampa, and yeah I think I’d prefer reuniting DIY too.

Is Instinct what they’re calling GUNTHER & Kaiser now, or was that an autocorrect?

I dunno. I saw a clip of Gunther and they had a logo saying that in the corner, so I’ve just run with it. You can call them whatever you want. I’ve never been too attached to the Imperium name.

Damn, they def told her to "make sure you smile more" and got her smiling for the entire match

Yeah, that does not seem natural at all.

Oof.

She's good though. Seems very good.

She's good, yes. But whatever Stepford Wives thing shes got going on there, is not.

Thats the smile a woman gets by dating Meatcastle Braun CYN Strowman!

She's been peddling covid conspiracy theories on her Instagram. Ideal for Scherr.

Watching the show now. Damn at making Raquel smile the whole time. Weird.

I knew Riddle was going to make a twin joke to the Usos and it still got me lol

So I guess Drew is done with Zayn and moving on to Reigns? Weird.

Charlotte beating on Drew Gulak is dumb because he can't hit her back.

Give me Gulak vs Charlotte

Raquel seems fucking awful. And if she’s nuts they’re going to find out and release her too.

So they cancelled the Tag Title Unification match? :wtf:

"Oh shit. Roman isn't on the card. Fuck the tag titles."

Seems like they’re just pushing it back to Money in the Bank.

Fair. Is MITB a stadium show this year?

I believe it is.

Jey Uso is an A+ promo. I can’t believe it. Watching this guy a decade ago being a lower midcard tag team wearing face paint and matching shiny shorts with his brother to being on the cusp of superstardom. He should be the one to take down Roman.

we need a ronda vs shana fight.

Is Jey the one he was feuding with before?

Yeah

Just watched the Usos win the titles and holy shit the number of camera cuts after Riddle went through the table was obscene.

damn crowd hot tonight

looking at results, there has been some form of a new day vs. sheamus's group match like every week for the past 3 months... insane

How can anyone watch this... seems like literally the same show with like the same 10 roster members every single week

Hell in a Cell is a good card I may watch it.

lol wtf

Am I right in thinking there are still no SmackDown matches at Hell In A Cell? “Stone Cold” Riddick Mosstin vs Corbin and Ricochet vs GUNTHER both on TV next week?

Oh my mistake, Corbin/Moss is on the card for HIAC. Of all the potential matches from SmackDown I wouldn’t have gone for that one.

That’s AEW. They obviously have a cast of 300 that they shuffle around though. It’s the same shit every week though.

I genuinely don’t get the internet’s complaint about rematches. They act like two people having a match back-to-back weeks is some kind of assassination attempt on their interest. It seems like “fake outrage” to me. It’s more action. It’s usually part of the story. People act like if Xavier Woods was wrestling Angel Garza this week instead of Butch it would make something magical happen. Lol, what?

Everyone has the same match. I don’t know why people pretend it’s so different if it’s technically two different people on paper. I guess kayfabe isn’t dead for some.

Because the action in the ring is/should be secondary to the story. The same formulaic match with slightly differing results should be driving story progression. If the same acts have been going backwards and forwards for 3 months it speaks to a lack of story progression. It also means there’s “nothing left on the table” for what should be the payoff.

The championship contender match is a dumb idea. Just watched RAW and now watching SD. Riddle and Nakamura have a tag title match after winning a championship contender match.

I know not everyone watches both in the same day but I literally just saw these teams face off 20 minutes ago.

I don’t think you’re wrong with what you’re saying, but I disagree that this is necessarily what you’re getting. Story can be driven forward by rematches. Sometimes guys have a rivalry and they’re going to go back and forth quite a few times. The idea that two separate wrestlers having a match together for the first time is the difference between something being fresh and stale is a fallacy that gets in the way of storytelling too.

I’m not saying run Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre every week. But you could run it several times and tell a story with it that doesn’t warrant the internet groans that it would get.

It certainly can and in some instances it does (see Cody/Seth for example). You can also go too far the other way (see AEW promoting Dante Martin vs Rey Fenix meeting for the first time as a “Dream Match”).

It’s also fine if you’re not looking to payoff the rivalry at a big show, and with the current model for WWE they don’t even really need to try and build an A1 card for every big show.

The question in this instance would be, “what story has been driven forward in the 3 months New Day have been feuding with the Bruise Buddies?”. At some point you have to start heading to the finish line.

DREAM PARTNER MATCH

BIGGEST DREAMER MATCH

It's all just filler until WM

Which is also pretty much all filler.

I agree with all of this. Right now the idea seems to be to establish the new heel faction as personalities that have parity with one of the most pushed tag teams ever. They’re showing off Butch’s personality and letting him go off the rails when he doesn’t get what he wants, etc.

Riddle vs Zayn was tits and a half


Riddle vs Romaine next week for THE GOLD
