I will never be upset by any wrestler that quits this company.

Thanks, man. I don't want to clutter up this thread with my personal shit, but this was several years ago. She took a double dose of her medication (on accident?) and didn't wake up the next morning. Sometime that night she stopped breathing and went 7 or 8 hours without oxygen to her brain, which created holes, and went into a coma. She already has MS, so this entire thing was just icing on top and lead to some speculation about how/why this all happened to begin with. But somehow she came out of it, I don't know how. Her doctor speculates that it was due to the medication they were giving her at the hospital, and then he came in to consult on her case and ended up changing doses and switching out drugs for others and here we are today. She's got slight brain damage (just like my Dad), but all things considered, it could be a whole lot worse. Which is why I guess I connected with Ogogo's story. That, and he's a Bronze medal winner in a recent(ish) Olympic Games, which can't hurt things. The chances of him being a prodigy like Angle are slim to none, since I think that was a once in a blue moon type thing (although Rousey will put that theory to bed if she continues on past her Year One WWE run). Having more legitimate athletes in wrestling can't hurt pro wrestling - but it's also all in what you do with said talent (I'm looking at you, WWE - you've got Chad Gable and you're doing nothing with him!).

Damn some people are really into "jobs are supposed to suck my dude" mentality.

Nobody said corporate america hasn't become incredibly unprofessional.

A good thread

LOL this isn't Avengers: Endgame. Who gives a fuck if it gets out that midcard guy #23 and midcard guy #72 will be trading wins on a different show in a month? Not telling someone about a change in work and travel schedules until the last second is unprofessional as fuck.

"Back, and to the left. Back, and to the left."

When players learn to hit against the shift, it will disappear.

Jericho/HHH in the title match that "didn't happen." The pop over the finish turned Jericho from mid-carder to star.

I don't know, but trying to overthink WWE's decisions could cause a tumor. Be careful.

New World Odin?

It still amuses me that Minneapolis boy Hennig was the centerpiece of a group called the West Texas Rednecks.

Because Vince is a crazy person and an angle that has been planned for months can get scrapped in a second if he sees a cloud that annoys him?

To be fair - it did lead to the funniest thing I have seen Lana say

I refuse to look at that last post so someone else's arm is getting punched.

^ me in response to every post DZ makes in this thread.

I am more amused that Becky keeps making wrestlers shoot mad

Amidst the chaos of the Superstar Shake-up, I forgot about one golden nugget from Xavier Woods and I'm ashamed of myself because I've used this quote here. As KO was putting on his New Day gear, Woods is chanting "One of us, One of us."

Ah.. I call that Thursday.

You must have missed Morelock calling everyone idiots then.

WWE sent out "sources" to try to paint these two as unprofessional but Dave comes through and confirms as most of us knew, this was just the latest in the ongoing fuck circus that is Vince McMahon and creative. They never keep a promise, ever. They are EXTREMELY unprofessional and Vince himself is senile and out of his fucking mind. Some of the posters here owe Banks an apology ?

A man from the North played a Stark. WCW missed out, Winter was coming.

People are debating viewpoints that are not mutually exclusive. Harper (more experience, yes?) is for sure a better worker than Rowan but they both have presence and are a natural fit together, and you can prefer either one anyway without devaluing the other. Rowan makes a great monster back-up for a smaller heel. Both haven't been utilized to the best of their potential, and you can argue whether they are "top" guys or not. We are all in the same gang, DVDVRers! I am usually not this conciliatory, sorry. the interWebs!, RAF

One of the few good things as WCW went downhill:

For the record - it was indeed Jocephus on the Brody doc

See to me - that's a perfect movie for this EDIT - to be clear, perfect movie for someone else. Lord would I be irritated if I got that.

Speaking of AC Unity, Ubisoft will, in addition to donating money, actually be helping with the restoration of Notre Dame. The laser 3d scans they created for Unity are the most accurate "plans" for the cathedral.

El Generico can stay gone. It's crazy that Sami ever wrestled under a mask.

I wish El Generico could take a break from running the orphanage to shut this Sami Zayn character up. Maybe Generico doesn't trust Kevin Steen with all those kids. I guess I can understand that. KILL STEEN KILL isn't a message you want to pass on to impressionable young minds.

no personalized championship is ever going to top The Weed Belt, so glad we got that too.

Why can't we just leave Rey's parents as unimportants. Its so much better than her being another Skywalker.

One month after winning KotR and cutting the 3:16 promo, Steve Austin wrestled Yokozuna on the Summerslam pre-show. And lost.

Hennig probably never let that hat out of his site to avoid having a steaming pile of shit in it.

long ass thread explaining what is going on (of course Les waits till like the 5th tweet to clarify that this is all baseless speculation)

Except not once has Rowan actually genuinely projected being a MONSTER other than being tall and standing in a corner. Is Rowan a serviceable big guy that is perfectly fine during short spurts in tag matches? Sure. But the way Harper moves around and carries himself in the ring has always stood out as scarier and more intense than Rowan. Is Harper seven feet tall like Rowan? Nope. Is he still taller than the majority of the current roster, and does he present everything he does with bruising intent that would put him over as a danger with the right presentation - which happened when he was with the Wyatts? Most definitely. Even in terms of "which guy looks more like the member of an eco terrorist cult", Harper's look is better for that gimmick as well while still being plenty tall enough to tower over Daniel Bryan in the side by side camera shots. I am not going to jump on the "Luke Harper should have been WWE Champion" bandwagon, but a guy with his look and talent is someone that should be a no-brainer to program in some sort of "heavyweight gatekeeper" role.

Heh. Settle down, HollyRazorbladekiss Cybernetico87.

I can respect that. Plus it shows how this whole "WWE books it's stories a year in advance" bullshit that Stephanie talked about recently is just that: bullshit. You had a chance to have Sarah Logan win the Women's Battle Royale at Mania and build a little hype, but instead she gets duped by Carmella AND THEN you break up her little trio? FFS, give her the win, draft her to Smackdown, and send her there with some damn hype behind her.

that's an e-fedder shoot if ever I saw one

And they open against the Steelers. Insert "terrible towel" joke here. ...Ugh, I didn't see that other entendre until I typed it. Ugh.
