Ultimo Necro

With all the AEW names talk, it seems a moot point as 99.9% of the roster uses their Indy / non-wwe gimmick & name anyway? Will Hobbs becoming Powerhouse is the only one I can think of where there has even been a slight change to an existing name / gimmick.

If AEW can bring in Pat McAfee and Scott Norton I’d like to see them team up to eradicate Don Callis.

The 3rd round in the main event was the craziest thing I’ve seen in years. Thought it was a great show top to bottom. I feel like every show in front of a big crowd since lockdown has been great.

No way, the Del Preston “I needed 10,000 brown M&M’s or Ozzy wouldn’t go on stage that night” speech is legendary stuff. 5 stars.

Usyk outclassed Joshua. Joshua spammed the jab all night and hardly threw any big shots. Usyk was seconds from a KO at the bell in the 12th.

For such a short lived genre nu-metal / rap-metal lingered around pro wrestling way longer than it had any right to do.

Nick Aldis was a Gladiator in the UK version before he became a full time wrestler. I just double checked and his Gladiator name was “Oblivion”.

My NXT would pretty much be my shoot name. I’m named after my maternal grandad and my surname is a verb! Suppose I could be Jim Fast. My AEW name is Hook Page

Oh no, after AEW the last few weeks, I’m all done hearing cursing in my wrestling. Dynamite was a “piece of sh*t” fest last week.

“Goddamit, It’s not a Steiner Recliner Beth… it’s a … it’s a… ITS A BREAKKER BREAKER” ”10-4 Vince”

I’d like to see Cole paired up with Andrade, feel like Andrade could use a good manager after Vickie and Chavo…

My mind was blown when she mentioned that. Even Jericho was like “nah, he must have seen a trailer, there’s no way he’s watched Suicide Squad”

Ruby Soho on Jericho this week. She is adorable as you can imagine.

I don’t recognise those guys but I hope that tag teams name is literally “These Gentlemen”. - “…and their opponents, currently in the ring, ‘THESE GENTLEMEN!!!!!’”

With Paige Van Zant appearing it’s another Paige to the Page/Cage/Gage collection.

Oh lord, just realised that Bronn Brekker will just be “Brekker” when he gets that main roster call up. Can’t have Bron when Braun has already been there! Brooks Jensen is such a 80’s radio DJ name. “Welcome to 107.1 The Breeze, I’m Brooks Jensen and this is Toto with Africa”

I didn’t know this was as detailed a thing on wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heenan_Family The WWF membership timeline almost gives you the trades Heenan done each year! Like Andre leaving in 1990 freed up the salary cap to bring in Flair!

Great now I’m going to be singing “baby Mox doo doo doo doo doo doo” all day

I love when wrestling media goes full Frank Grimes on WWE. ”ah ol’ WWE’s okay give it a break” ”no it is not okay, and I want everyone on the Internet to realize it. I would die a happy man if I could prove to you that Vince McMahon has the IQ of a 6 year old child!!!“

Goddamit TK. It’s a good job AEW is good because we aren’t even 10 minutes into this season and it looks like the same old story, decent QB with no protection, no running game and a leaky defence. Duuuuval. I guess. *shrugs*

Love this guy. Don’t tell my wife.

Nick Gage is kind of modern day Sid. Does fist bumps. Weird angry energy. Seems dangerous in the ring. Attacks other wrestlers with sharp objects.

Hook doesn’t even need to wrestle full matches. Teach him 4 suplexes and a tazmission and he’ll be fine. He looks great, if he’s even half as good at trash talk as his old man then that’s a bonus.

Yeah Miro coming in was kind of the death knell for Cage. But also being put next to Ricky Starks really made him look like the charisma vacuum that he is. Then when Hobbs is added to the mix you have another big, jacked guy who is younger and more intense and intimidating looking than Cage, it’s no surprise he has kind of got lost on the mix.

I can’t believe a Spinal Tap style wrestling mockumentary has never been done before. There’s a billion stupid wrestling backstage stories that could be lifted for it. Never mind Heels, GLOW or The Wrestler, give me “why don’t you make the 10 count slower to give you more time?” “but our count goes to 11”
