Did Bret have the nicest regular-ass standing suplex? Just beautiful and I love how he jumps back with it.

I didn't know ACH had this much emotion and vigor about himself. Here I thought the WWE would never hire a New Jack type of black dude but eventually they found The Spook Who Sat By the Door. That's karma, baby. As for the Jay Lethal tweet, that seems like some personal shit between them. If I'm mad at another black dude (not so much lately as I'm pretty chill nowadays.. at least IMO) especially one who I've had a contentious working relationship with, Uncle Tom is probably one of the first things that will be lobbed out there if I truly know the guy. Then again, someone can play the jealousy angle (although Jay Lethal has been wrestling forever and still in ROH). I just don't get the we need to stick together thing or For the Culture or w/e this bullshit is. Last time I checked, all the black guys in the wrestling biz don't sit around and negotiate their contracts together. Honestly, I always felt the WWE presented black wrestlers as buffoons or dumb bucks anyway. I've never felt some personal attachment to any of the guys they've hired in this era. So when stuff like this comes back to bite them in the ass hard, I really cherish these moments. Fuck em. I'm just happy there is at least one guy with a backbone. Wish there was more, but I'll take what I can get.

Titus wins the day.

About Bret: I'm embarrassed to admit how old I was before I realized that Excellence of Execution was a Hitman pun, and not just a comment on how fucking perfectly he did everything.

..... well I learned something new today ...

Only way this can get worse is if Seth decides to step up and offer his usual company man take. Then we'll have drama bingo.

I don't think Lethal's going to be in the MLW locker room.

I would say United States as a whole.

Fuck Hulk Hogan! Had to.

I've defended the company on occasion, much to my own detriment. But you can't get much more blatant than that. I don't know what's more infuriating, the shirt or WWE's apathetic response. Onto Bret's suplex, I once attended a seminar with Bret and commented on how aesthetically pleasing his suplex looked, and that it looked genuinely damaging to his opponent. He told us he would slap the mat as hard as he could on impact to create an extra ''snap''. It's the minor details. Bret was the king at that.

There really should be an Hijo Del John Lennon with a mask that looks like John Lennon’s face, and complete with wig like Psychosis. Then to top it off a Giant Gonzalez-esq bodysuit.

I like how the statement starts off saying that he approved "this t-shirt for sale" as if to imply he saw the design and was ok with it which sounds like bullshit. This is one of those situations, where they would be best served by owning the fuck up.

No they're fantastic. Wow, DVDVR is so full of arcane in-jokes and history, I pity any newcomer wandering in from the barbarian lands of wreddit. Just like I pity any newcomer trying to get his head around the WWE product!!! *nails AEW colours to the mast* In all seriousness, I cannot believe how neurotic folks are getting about ratings and their preferred brand (not around here for the most part, in those other places...) Is it a reflection of increasingly fractured and tribalistic political environment? Or simply young'uns who have never had first-hand experience of competition at the top level of American professional wrestling? Finn's turn was so beautifully executed, as was Cody breaking into the Inner Circle's room with his scarf-wrapped fist, as was Brock brutalising everybody, as was Eddie Kingston's impassioned promos on NWA Powerrrrrrr. Give me all of it, I love wrestling.

Heenan is one of the all-time greats at pro wrestling. Just the whole of pro wrestling. He could really do it all. I don’t think that gets said enough about him.

I didn't include the Russian Legsweep because Brad Armstrong exists.

Bret's side russian legsweep looked so good it looked like it could be a finisher.

No matter how corporate they are, you won't find any "Mr. Levesque" or "Mr. James" here! Every day is casual Friday at Titan Towers. Casual names, casual dress, casual racism... EDIT: Shit, I always though Road Dogg's last name was Armstrong

Because someone dropped my name, and like other threads I don't comment in, I peruse occasionally to keep up on things, but don't post if I don't have anything to add or to comment on something I didn't watch and don't plan to watch. If you're gonna call me out, call me out and and don't be a bitch about it. Don't name drop me in a thread I don't often post in. Do it where I committed the "offense". I watched a couple shows and this promotion is too PWG for me and I don't care for it. You guys want your safe space to not have anyone speak badly about your wrestling utopia great. Want to comment on something I said in another thread. Use that thread.

I’m just gonna guess that El Hijo De John Lennon uses a move called “Instant Karma”

my guy is out here EXPLODING bridges.

This. I call bullshit because there's no way he'd sign off on that design. If he did, he now looks like an idiot for protesting it post facto. I hope there's a slot open at AEW for him after WWE finishes out his contract by paying him to sit at home over this bullshit.

and congrats to Sean Lennon on his Mexico working name of "El Hijo de John Lennon"

Cole needed a minute.

As in "Happiness is a WUMGUG?"

I love that the finish of a ppv main event match is such a huge question mark, and that ppl actually care. Wrestling sure has gotten a whole heckuvalot better.

“It don’t matter if you’re black, or white, you don’t know what it’s like until you step into @WWERollins world. Tonight is no different when I Burn It Down for the #WWEUniverse to see!”

To your point

Chuck and Trent?

Bret had definitive versions of the vertical suplex, side back breaker, that bump and the piledriver. While I think you could say some people do those moves as well as Bret, doing them better seems unlikely.

Also let’s not forget Road Dogg helped write the infamous Jinder promo on Nakamura.

He was smart to delete the Jay Lethal tweet. They might be sharing a locker room in 90ish days.

You don't think it's too soon? Not arguing with your point, I just think they could milk the chase a little more. Then again, milking shit well after it's hot is kinda the WWE MO so maybe it is best to strike now

If they had any sense at all then RD Evans would have been Archibald Peck on his journey through time. Will be great seeing him on TV.

Earthquake kicking somebody in the face looks like it should kill them, which isn't something you can usually say for a dropkick

A large part of the problem is that across the board there are too many old white dudes in charge not only of the wwe, but wrestling as a whole. Before AEW became a thing, I honestly can’t remember hearing about a person in power in American wrestling who wasn’t either a middle aged white guy or married to one. We are long overdue for a different kind of voice running the show or at least contributing on a high level

Dude made the absolute right decision from a business standpoint. He's either unfireable or instantly hired by AEW if he is. Everyone knows he's right so no matter what happens, he will be okay.

It’s Halloween. You don’t go as Mrs Incredible. You go as slutty Mrs Incredible.

Seth deepfaked into Michael Jackson "Black or White" video is my least favorite intrusive thought today.

Sorry to hear the new meds have unfortunate side-effects. It's been years and years, but I seem to recall that when I started whatever the fuck it is I've been taking for two decades now, that it was a pretty nasty thirty-day window of my body getting acclimated to getting the proper dose of the chemical it was supposed to be making itself in the first place. Hopefully you won't have to put up with a whole month of discomfort. Flu shots? I don't get it. It puts my wife on her back for two or three days and she gripes about the pain in the injection site for a couple of weeks. I used to have co-workers call in sick from getting the shot... Me? "Jab it in whichever arm is more convenient for you, nurse, I don't much care " Fifteen minutes later I won't be able to tell you which arm had it.

Shorty G's outfit looks like a kit from lost property when you forgot to bring your own for PE.
