I think the simplest answer to why Owens re-upped is.
1) He is a natural heel
2) Re-upping with WWE is the biggest heel move he could have made in the eyes of some fans.
And also…
3) Somehow, someway, this contract extension will lead to a beat down on Sami Zayn…. Because that’s just what those two do.

Heartbreaking news. One of the highlights of my Indy wrestling viewing of the 2000’s. RIP Jimmy.

They totally need to keep Hook as the enforcer who only wrestles as a special occasion when Taz gets pissed off enough to SEND HOOK. Like the 2021 version of Mr. Hughes is Taz’s 180 pound kid, and in the best way. Getting that “oh shit, [babyface] done fucked up now” reaction.
The Simpsons “that guy in the white suit hasn’t done anything yet, and you know when he does it’s going to be really cool” meme come to life.

I think one of the things I like most about Hook is that he looks a character in Street Fighter. He's a weird combination of Guile and Sagat and it works really well.
That’s 100% it, I couldn’t work it out myself, but that’s it.
He’s like one of those characters that appears in a modern version of Street Fighter after you haven’t played the last 5-6 versions of the game.

All I want from Hook is for him to duck a clothesline, slap on a tazmission, get the win, pick up his bag of chips and leave. Like Jiji says, an evil, badass version of Orange Cassidy.

All the Peruvian necktie conversation leads me to believe their is a family owned business in Lima who have been hand crafting the finest Peruvian Neck Ties for 200 years, and their Google algorithms are all messed up because of the UFC.
Also, Cody probably owns one of their fine, fine Peruvian Neck Ties.

MLW really is the island of misfit toys.
Court must have been that one kid, that when you went to his house all his toys were broken. “Hey let’s have a fight between Optimus Prime with a missing leg and Ultimate Warrior with his arms removed”. Also, Teddy Hart would just continually be at Courts house for some reason.

Just caught up with SD. Brock and Sami’s opening segment was a lot of fun. They make a good odd couple.

Jade’s music is peak 1996 Nitro and I love it. Jade might be the best packaged wrestler AEW has put together from scratch. Everything works, her look, music, Mark Stirling, her attitude. Once she progresses in ring she’ll be really really great. I like her a lot.

I’ve said it before but Tony Nese is modern day Paul Roma. Great body. Nothing obviously wrong in ring. But there’s just nothing to him.
That being said I still want the Nese / Comorato Power and Glory 2 tag team.

I think promo skills are “same but different” depending on the culture. Each country has their own way of dealing with it.
Brits are traditionally a more reserved people so would appreciate the understated tones of a tough working class northener telling the bad guy how he’s going to “knock ‘is bloody teeth down ‘is throat this Saturday in Blackpool”
In all the world of sport I ever watched I don’t think I ever really heard any of them raise their voice above a stern lecture, but they were all exceptional at delivering what they wanted to say…. Just very politely. I believe Big Daddy et all was a bit more “American wrestling” in his presentation.
Americans are generally perceived as loud, brash and over the top and it 100% comes through in wrestling promos.
Maybe wrestling promos are a gateway into the soul of a nation.

My prediction is he finally gets a new gimmick, gets promos played saying “coming soon to Raw” for a couple of months. Debuts. Gets purged the night after.

The Jungle Boy and Danielson matched are making me think I prefer Anthony Bowens as a singles guy with Caster as stooge/hypeman more than I enjoy the Acclaimed's tag stuff.
I agree with this 100%. I’m impressed every time I see Bowens. He’s fun to watch in ring and can really go.

Tim Storm - NWA champ is a recent one that definitely captured my interest. Maybe my favourite title run of the last 5 years in any promotion.

For those of us if a certain vintage that is indeed a blast from the past.
So many early EWR Feds built around Vic Capri.

I was in High School 91-97 everyone knew me as the “wrestling dork”. When everything started kicking off again in 96-97 everyone wanted to talk to me about it.
To this day most of my friends call me “the wrestling guy”. I’m 41 for freaks sake.

Ridge Holland looked pretty good, I’m not sure how much of that was Cesaro, but it was a fun match.
Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss is a dumb but fun gimmick, until you remember that you have to watch them wrestle.
The rest of the show was a bit of a nothing much.
Woods Black Friday Sale ad was pretty fun. Him lifting the clearly empty box pretending it was full was pretty hilarious.
Loved Drew channeling a PG version of Brody with the chain.
Man, here we are in 2021 and the 3 of last 4 of a battle Royale is Corbin, Sheamus, Hardy.

Go for it. Fair warning: mine's depressing!
I love you Stefanie. Always one of my favourite posters.
My username represents my love for Lucha and my (2003) love for Necro Butcher. I’ve used this username on various forums since the early 00’s.
If I had to sign up a couple of years later there is every chance my username would have been Ultimo Penta or Ultimo Ultramantis.
I still love Lucha and Deathmatches. My wife seen Schneider’s book on my shelf and rolled her eyes. She’s probably right.

I don’t know which arena SD ran last week but it’s the first time in years I’ve watched a (non lockdown era) WWE show and went “oh, that building looks really small for WWE”

Touching on a post I made last night.. I kinda want the Golden Egg to be the Gobblygookers urn. You know a zombie turkey with the Undertaker's mannerisms would actually be scary.
It’s content like this that makes me believe RAW would be greatly improved if this board was allowed to run the show.
I’d like the Full Taker entrance with Col. Bob Parker as some sort of Undead Poultry Overlord / Paul Bearer. ”oh my Gobbledy-Taker” while holding up the golden egg.
Put Azeez, Omos or heck, even Brock in the suit and it would be even scarier.
The Gobbledy-Taker, returns every year from Halloween until Thanksgiving and wins at Survivor Series each year ad infinitim

Following the recent Rock in Movies chat, I decided to watch Red Notice. Ryan Reynolds as a wisecracking rogue; the Rock as a government agent. The pitch to the executives was clearly what if we made Hobbs & Deadpool? It was entertaining enough but kind of mindless drivel.

Oh Lord, Jericho’s latest episode is “Jimmy Rave - The Last Interview”, I am not sure I want to listen to that. Even the description is sad as hell.
