In regards to the blue dot story, I bet Christian's face looked especially ratty when sneezing in front of Vince at some point! Completely rhetorical, but seriously WTF is literally wrong with Vince's brain? Well, it is wonderful that there are slightly more options, if one wants to continue as a wrestler even if the owner of the biggest company dislikes you because of something I'm sure even Vince himself couldn't fully explain.

This thread will soon be full of fun Christian TV matches.
At a first glance, I read this wrong and was wondering what wrestling is there on "Christian TV"? But yeah, you mean once he gets going on Dynamite. That should be quite the treat, with the right opponents.

Edit: Valentine was IC champ at the first Wrestlemania and US champion at the first Starrcade. Not sure what a star is if that doesn't qualify.
The list of guys who were an IC Champion at a Wrestlemania AND an US Champion at a Starrcade, isn't all that long to begin with , so it should count for something !

They are close to turning into late 1994 WCW where they had a really good roster and decided mostly by Hogan that they needed to bring in WWF guys in order to go to the top nationally. Although I won't put Christian in the category of Jim Duggan, Honky Tonk Man, and the Brutus Beefcake who had no business in the promotion. At least they are going with the solid mid carders.
Remember when AEW started there was all the talk that they (well, Cody at least) wanted it to be like early 90's WCW and at least some folks were getting really excited about the prospect. Well, I'm sure in their minds, that's EXACTLY the part of the early 90's they were all clamouring for! Holy shit!

What do you do to get revenge on the dastardly heel who "blew up" the hero?
Theme-music distraction for the roll-up pin in the next match the heel has with some midcarder? Or wait, was the question somewhat rhetorical in nature?
I'll just add a theory on Eddie's selling onto this one. Maybe he was so mortified and embarassed that he "risked his life" to help out Mox of all people, then realized that there was no real explosion/ danger coming, so he actually passed out from the shame he felt for being duped like that? I mean, he's a proud and a stubborn man, who probably likes to think of himself as being smart, wily and cunning. Being made to look like dork by a geek like Kenny, probably ate away at him in such an instantaneous manner, that he couldn't take it and passed out.

Yeah, I know that diet, apparently it involves no carbs and a metric shit-ton of protein and supplements. Jinder has been on it for the same damn thing for half a dedade.
But yeah, gaining almost any amount of mass to any tiny frame is possible with enough chemicals injected into one's bloodstream. We were wondering if he could do it within the "Wellness Policy"-bounds? Well, no we weren't even doing that. It was more like, another guy who wasn't on steroids/HGH is now (or would be soon after hitting the main roster) on at least something.
Oh, and I would never wax my philosophical on a wrestling message board (or anywhere else , where there 's a bunch of other people ) , I'm just not that kind of a person!

L.A. Knight just sounds like a pair of sneakers from the 90's.
I was thinking about the name and was wondering if he used to say Eli Drake ( that used to be his name, right?) with similar cadence? If you stretch saying "Eli" it could be said in a similar manner as one would say "L.A." I may be way off the mark here, since I have not seen anything at all by him prior to this, but I thought there may a tinge of sense in the otherwise stupid name. That would probably be pretty easy to find out by checking out his earlier promos, but I'm not arsed to do such things at the moment.

Yeah and I have this innate suspicion of anyone's nattyness, if they are both bigger AND more ripped than I am. Well, Dunne only checks one box (take your pick which one), but I'm painfully aware of (my) natty limits these days. Dunne at this point, is absolutely and totally within natural limits, but he got there suspiciously fast, given where he was before.
Considering he LOST weight in order to look the way he does now, adding any more lean muscle at this point, while retaining the cut would be hard af! And as you said, he must have been working out for more than a decade now anyway, so no noob gains, whatsoever.
Since he has been as successful as he has, I'd hate for him to have to bulk up with steroids to the point where he loses some of his athletic ability, just to fit better on the main roster. But that doesn't even guarantee anything! Alesteir Black inflated his pecs something fierce, and Vince still didn't "get" his character (shocking, I know)!

'bullying vegan douchebag who think he's Ronnie Coleman but really isn't all that' might actually be right down Vince's alley.
With proper writing, this could have some mileage in it!

Yeah, it does take something away from his previous aura, in which he looked like a school-yard bully in a fake-fur vest and a singlet. The current look may help him if he ever gets demoted to the main roster, but I guess he would have to maintain the current level of cut and still "find a way" to ADD maybe 30 lbs back into his frame. He could ask for those pounds Trent has no use for, but he'd need it to be lean muscle mass, and Trent can't help him there!

Yeah, happy birthday The Natural! Keep staying safe until the vaxx kicks in and you are golden!

Pete Dunne reappeared 4 months ago looking a lot leaner anyway. There's always tricks abound with these before and after shots (e.g. water weight), but I'm not really sure that he actually benefits from being borderline shredded anyway. Doesn't have any pecs to speak of either.
If you go by the before picture, his "after" photo pecs seem fine to me in comparison. It's not like he's going to have Big E's boobies no matter what he does. Either way, Dunne is an interesting case to me, since we are pretty similar in stature. I doubt he weighs 200 lbs at this point. He has a couple of inches on me.
I'm fully with you on the fact that these photos have certain tricks to them, I know, because I wouldn't be caught dead sharing a photo without using them. I do find it a bit suspect how fast (relatively speaking) this transformation took place. The vascularity in his arms looks abnormal (which basically just means I can't get mine to look like that, ever), but what he has attained is within natural bounds, I'm just not sure if it can be achieved in 8 months?

HHH vs Owen as well 2000/2001 HHH vs an era Owen would have been great
While this is tehnically true, I thought the HHH vs Owen we DID get was already pretty damn good.

What the heck, I'll post more updates since I ended up going full five workouts this week. Yesterday ended up being a bench day, but it became rather obvious that I had already grinded my chest and triceps pretty hard (if not heavy). I did try 260 and 240, but found out that they were too heavy since I only got two or three reps each, so I gave up and did a bunch of sets with 220 with 5-7 range and that felt pretty good. A bunch of light curls and shoulder work between the sets and I was able to get a good pump going for the third time this week.
Today, I thought fuck it, I'll do the trapbar. After quick warm up sets I went to 451 and did 5, 5, 4, 4 and 3. Not quite as many reps as I've managed recently, but I was positively surprised I was able to do that after the week I've had. A good bunch of shrugs with the trapbar while unloading the weights and some ab work to finish off.
Weight is at 188, but that's evening weight, so it will likely be around 185 or so in the morning. Well, I need to stuff my face more, since it's the week end, anyway!

KLR must now challenge Io to a match to settle who truly is the most dominant women's champion going today!

How and why do the elderly manage to capitalize every word like that?
Do some phones or devices have this weird and incorrect auto-correct that does this for them and they don't know how to turn it off? If it is intentional, however, it seems like a shitload of unnecessary work. Or do they just lose their train of thought after each word and sort of start the sentence over all the time?

Just the other day I was wondering if there had been a women's match yet in NXT (or WWE in general) where the female ref takes a bump. If there hadn't (and I couldn't come up with an example), we have a first. Funny that it happened almost as soon as I started wondering about it, but obviously it had to happen sooner or later.

Back from my coronavirus vaccine jab. I and the others there had the AstraZeneca one.
This is wonderful news. Each and every person getting their vaccine brings the world closer to (albeit slowly) not sucking as much, again! Now, just stay super safe until the immunity kicks in!

Holy shit! Oh, and I would have guessed (just by looking at it), probably European or Japanese Heavyweight Championship of some sort.

Alright listen you, you can't just drop a fact like "The acclaimed producer of Licensed to Ill was the financial backer for Jim Cornette's weird-but-influential regional wrestling promotion" and expect me to internalize it instantly.
Rick Rubin produced Licensed to Ill?!? See, this is a gift that keeps on giving!

On NXT-UK, they're running an angle where Sewage Treatment wants a shot at the Cruiserweight title, so he's trying to get in shape and drop the exgtra 30 pounds. Can't be easy for him at his age, mind.
Although, I'll be damned if he really weighed 235lbs at the time of the promo when he said he'd get under 205 lbs. I think he was well on his way, at the time.

I mean unless it's pork or chicken (and a steak by definition, isn't) this the truth, not that it had nothing to do with the point itself. If I was using that particular metaphor, I would have said "the steak felt overcooked", but that's neither here nor there, either.
