Saw this on The Facebooks

Every single participant in last night's NXT 10-man tag at MSG (Black/Ricochet/Riddle/Dunne/Dream vs Ciampa/Gargano/Cole/Strong/O'Reilly) was making their official Garden debut, and they tore the house down from all accounts.

Here it is, before it gets taken down.

Ha. The last two great Raw moments were things that were organic/unbooked. It's almost as if Vince and his writers can't book or write for shit.

"I can't believe it's not TNA" 2019 thread

For fuck's sake Curt, it's an upper body business!

All the feels. Ali might be the best babyface on the planet right now, and the fact that he's an American Muslim is just staggering, especially from the E. They have something with him, and they need to keep it.

You know, you could do worse then this idea. Aiden was kind of the sleeper getting over in this whole deal, but you can't argue that he wasn't a big part of the Rusev Day surge. You could tie in the whole "forgetting" how to speak English deal from a while back with Aiden talking for Nakamura "because a true artist of his caliber will not lower himself to speak to people like you." Plus, I know I'm not the only one who wants to hear Aiden do the sing along with Nakamura's entrance,

Survivor Series 95 would be the proper start. Bret beats Nash and Nash turns heel. The next night he cuts a shootish promo. Same show or soon after, they do the angle where Shawn collapses. The first Goldust angle begins and things feel different.

Yeah. Although I think the original angle (Where we get the term "Pillman'd" from) was on Superstars. But that moment is really where you could see the gloves were coming off for Vince, and things were gonna get more serious. Granted, I think 98 is mediocre and 99 flat out sucked, but 97 was the WWF at a peak.

I know his wedding was way before this era but the thought of Sid entering his reception to his "Psycho" theme fist-bumping guests and yelling "WHO'S THE MAN?" makes me laugh.

Aiden and Rusev together did this strange, weird thing where, get this, they helped each other both get over. Like Rusev had gotten the Rusev Day thing over pretty well, while Aiden was dead in the water. Then they paired up and got absolutely red hot. It looks like Rusev has mostly managed to keep the heat, but Aiden is... Oh look, dead in the water. There's nothing wrong with Aiden being a second and a heater in a great act, but ever since Bret and Shawn became stars, WWE is always looking to split a team the second they get over.

Watching Riddle it finally struck me who he reminded me of.

If the Briscoes weren't seemingly locked into ROH for life, they'd be perfect for Impact on Pursuit. You could go a couple ways with the Briscoes. They could be good 'ol boys like Bo and Luke with Scarlett as their Daisy Duke, or go the Deliverance route and Grado is made to squeal like a pig. Oh, the missed opportunities. Col. Parker and his MLW Stud Stable could also work. Plus, you have the added bonus of Bunkhouse Buck's much anticipated return.

Eliminate the line about the president, and that is a great intro for EC3. I don't echo the same sentiments about Lana. I think Rusev feels incomplete without her. Ex. League of Nations

Not from the waist down EDIT: You know what I mean by that, perverts

D.Z.?

There's plenty of talent worth signing. I definitely wouldn't call Impact's roster scraps. They put together a really nice collection of talent and the company FINALLY felt like they weren't trying to be a second rate WWE.

I think WONDER WOMAN shares a lot more DNA with Nolan's Batman films than Marvel films. And AQUAMAN has largely succeeded in charming audiences by embracing the high fantasy aspects of its story in a manner that goes way beyond what Marvel has traditionally been willing to do with its films (same could be said for WW). Marvel seems to always want to maintain this veneer of "plausibility" so as not to frighten off the squares. Aquaman is just like, "Here's a bunch of wild shit with no rational explanation, deal with it." In one film, they created a more expansive fantasy world than the THOR series managed in three.

I really love the layout of that woman's match. I loved Bianca stepping into "f this" mode and whipping the hell out of whoever with her hair, tossing someone to the floor and then scoring the pin after her finisher. It just made her look really next level. I think Lacey Evans is going to be gigantic on the main roster. She's really good at being nasty and condescending. She's someone like Elias -- her gimmick is going to play well for a 20,000 seat arena. I'm really not seeing Mia Yim, though. She's been pretty terrible. That Dream promo was great. He's so fun. Heavy Machinery also got a great write-off in a really fun match. Good, fun tag team with great personalities. They'll be carving up some good minutes on Smackdown against The Bar or some such at some point.

I call this, "How To Piss Off Everyone, In One Tweet or Less":

Here is the WWE video on Top RAW moments For those who can't/don't want to watch, the list is 10) Austin stuns the McMahons 9) Elias/KO roast Seattle 8.) The Balor Club (Balor, Anderson and Gallows tagging) 7) Bayley and Sasha Fight (the time that was supposed to be Bayley's heel turn that never happened) 6) The Shield reformation 5) Ultimate Deletion 4) Ambrose turns on Rollins 3) The RAW Gauntlet match - specifically Rollins wrestling forever 2) Rousey beats up Steph 1) SDL women invasion aka "The Man Comes Around"

So it was Nia who f'd up Becky's nose? ? Turned out to be worth it. The segment has so much more impact this way. Bloody Becky beating Ronda with the chair is the most badass thing that's been on WWE tv in years. Great character moment afterwards, when Becky is going back up into the arena. She totally no-sells some dude who wants a high-five.

?

As much as I abhor Ronda as a person (will try not to bring that up going forward) I can't help but appreciate what she's been doing. According to Meltzer that match was called in the ring which is impressive considering how little she's been wrestling. It was hard not to get sucked in when you have Ronda's hesitation with hurting Nattie and how it seemed to pain her to do it. And while those emotions might have been real it was neat seeing her crying after the match over defeating her best friend. So good for her and WWE for so far presenting her in the best way possible.

Pot kettle black, geek.

Holy fucking shit. That is the new carniest thing I've ever heard of. Like imagine his thought process: Thought 1: She's undergoing chemo. I should shave my head in solidarity. Thought 2: How can I make a buck off this?

Happy birthday, Bill Eadie. We will celebrate the career of Mr. Eadie by watching him in his well revered Masked Superstar gimmick kick the living shit out of people and love him for it. RIP, Burrhead Jones.... He deserves this beating for using that gimmick name..

who would have thought that one of the key and peele guys would be making THAT movie? By the way, please TAKE MY MONEY NOW MR PEELE

Speaking of Us... https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3539483/10-films-jordan-peele-lupita-nyongo-watch-filming-us-included-martyrs/?fbclid=IwAR1UQF6ce7cA0VS9HewcgJdhyUtCsy1_jiD_RL9bP9W87_Xl5P7GVd1y4pM

The Austin/Pillman angle maybe?

The more I listened to Delicate, the more I realised it's kinda perfect. I mean, shit, if you're looking for perfect pop music, what's better than it? That being said, I dig the shit out of her knowing her persona and being self referential enough to be able to take the piss out of said persona: My wife allows me her, Jameela Jamil and Jodie Comer. It's all very creepy. Luckily, my wife doesn't read this board or she'd realise 1/3 of my posts are about Taylor fucking Swift.

He came across as a rambling, senile old man. Which I suppose doesn't contradict your statement.

Alexa not-so-Bliss

Just found out that several hours ago MLW posted a Christmas Special only on YouTube with 3 matches: Flag Match MJF vs. Puma King, Ace Austin vs. Myron Reed and No DQ PCO vs. Brody King.

So I just got the PS4 Spider-Man bundle Its on now bitches

Stolen from Twitter: KILL-EL

Oh. Did not know that. Jeff Jarrett is gonna win this company in his lawsuit isn't he?

I didn't know how much I needed this in my life until right now

Okay, after watching Dreamer/Taue I'm convinced that Baba actually thought his people had flew back over Danny Kroffat for a non-tag match until he saw whatever that was. If Foley had problems working over there I can only imagine the backstage laughter from management after seeing it. And yes, the spiders were definitely attacking poor Tommy on that "frogsplash". I'd take him bringing out razor wire anyday in comparison, whew...

Awesome, thanks! ?

I just discovered Tales from the Tour Bus over the last couple weeks and the Morris Day and the Time one is pretty good. FWIW, nothing can top the James Brown -> Bootsy Collins -> P-Funk triumvirate (didn't expect Bootsy doing a spot on James Brown impersonation) besides the Rick James one. The latter is strong because Levi Ruffin sounds like Rick and brings that same energy as Rick in his storytelling. It's wild.
