HBO presents ... the DVDVR sleaze thread
Oh man I’d absolutely love an anthology show based on the sleaziest moments from that list. Marty Jannetty could be a reoccurring character.

But the stages! I'd watch Impact if they had cool WCW sets.
I’d watch more Impact if the Aggro Crag rose up from the depts of studio 21 with Mike O’Malley wearing a reverse ball cap, and Mo in a one piece swimsuit.

The blood/bumps would be one thing (and it's always going to be a LITTLE risky, since you can't exactly use stuntmen regularly for pro wrestling), and if it's an HBO show, the adult themes people would expect would...well, mean they'd have to go further than just bra and panties. (PROTIP: That's going to dramatically lower the quality on the talent side, because the amount of good wrestlers, who'd also be willing to do nudity, would be relatively low.)
You could get porn actors like HBO does for their shows.
What’s Chief Morley up to?

I'm not sure why a company never tried a "Total Divas" reality rope show. The wrestlers are just living there lives and all of the conflict is resolved in a ring. It was be completely different and you don't even need a crowd.
You mean like... *looks around suspiciously* ...apartment wrestling?

I hadn't considered that, that would definitely work also.
I was thinking more along the lines of an actual promotion, broadcast in the same way Oz/Breaking Bad/The Wire is portrayed. The face/heel alignment is generally based on from whose perspective the shot is filmed from, it isn't broadcast as a spectator sport so much as a drama that just happens to lead to in-ring stuff.
If HBO is still willing to experiment, then I could see them giving it a shot. The thing with that style of wrestling show is that they have such a short shelf life. Lucha Underground was super lucky that they’re parent company loved the concept, and gave them plenty of chances. It just was never a ratings getter, or money maker, and like a lot of scripted shows viewers gave up on it fast when the formula got tired. I sort of dig it for the cheese, but how long am I going to watch what was essentially a B-Movie/TV show. Unless you find wrestlers who can legit act, I’ll take the fake sports presentation every day of the week over that.

Could a wrestling show done by HBO, where it's clearly edited in the way any other HBO show is, rather than emphasizing the live action component, and gives the adult themes that you'd expect from a HBO show, and that people fondly recall of the attitude era, but done as safely as possible in that context to avoid unnecessary injuries/concussions/etc work?
Prolongs guys careers, gives the adult themes you can't get from today's wrestling, and makes you feel a bit less guilty demanding blood/bumps/etc when you know that they're not exactly killing themselves to provide it?
I think it could. We already see an adult themed like GLOW work on Netflix. But an even darker comedic HBO take on say the eight year history of ECW would be amazing.
edit: Oh wait you mean something like a legit HBO wrestling show. If this was the days of Spicy City, then maybe. I don’t know if they would do something like that now.

The Briscoes are looking more, and more likely they aren’t making it to the WWE.

Is Nigel the biggest “cant miss guy” to have never made WWE either main roster or NXT?
Possibly excluding Lucha or Puro guys?
James Storm maybe?
“Raging Bull” Manny Fernandez is one that comes to mind. Super talented dude, with a bad attitude. Otherwise you either died, or had a horrific injury/disease that cut your career short. Gino Hernandez is another.

That’s the best bump I’ve ever seen. Dude was floating there for a few seconds before he landed, and Bounced on his head like a marshmallow that fell on the ground.

If their current dud of a feud doesn't show the masses how Roman has run laps around Seth and Dean in every way, he'll never get credit. When he returns, he should ignore them like the plague.
I don’t know, Roman on top got me to stop watching. So it really doesn’t matter who’s on top. Then you watch NXT, and before I stopped watching Alester Black was on top, and he’s got the personality of a toothpick. That didn’t hurt the quality of that program.
Someone earlier was talking about the main roster not utilizing the strength of it’s performers, and they used Braun as an example. That was on point.

I like to imagine those don’t exist. Also I haven’t been a subscriber to the network for quite sometime.

Respect - an Aretha Franklin biopic being done by MGM has announced that Tony Award winning director Liesl Tommy will direct
Jennifer Hudson will play Aretha as she was hand picked by Aretha to play her in the movie (obviously before Aretha passed)
Oh shit, I just remembered that David Otunga never returned to RAW from his court case(Or wherever he left to).

I love the hypocrisy that making fun of someone who is fat is off limits (even though you can technically do something about that) but making fun of someone who is short is totally cool. Since, you know, short people can't do a goddamn thing about it. Honestly, I wish I could ride my bike and grow three inches.
And yeah, I'm Tyler Bate size.
Have a Slappy New Year!
Ironically liking Jarrett’s El Kabonging people during the dying days of WCW has been the weirdest thing in the past 5 years for me.

That was all over by then. Arn vs Ric was Fall Brawl in September, the tag match turn was at Halloween Havoc in October, WW3 was in November. The big closing angle was Hogan never being eliminated but Savage won. And the crowd refusing to back up Hogan when he was asking them to tell the referee, which was hilarious.
Edit: or do you mean the match they had after all that?
Nah Im talking about Flair Vs. Sting where they literally wrestle in all three rings. Really underrated match that was all about showmanship.

I'm extremely pro-World War III and no one will ever, ever change my mind
The first WW3 was worth it for the end of the Flair/Sting double cross angle, where Arn Anderson feuded with Flair for few months just so could turn on Sting again. I mean it was an almost standard Flair Vs Sting match, but this felt like the hottest they had in quite sometime. So you see them feeding off that crowd energy with their performance.
