Norton was the only man to make 2nd rope Canadian Destroyers believable.
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.

Jeez… The reactions here. I wouldn’t be shocked if you guys gave Wayne’s World 2 a rotten tomato back in the day.
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.

They came out befor nu-metal was a thing, but I'd say they were lumped in with nu metal bands after bands like KoRn and Limp Bizkit broke through.
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”.

I'm sure someone came up with a "Create your NXT name" formula somewhere. Like the first name is your Maternal Grandfather's first name, and the last name is "Think of an adjective you aspire to be like, then look in a thesaurus for a synonym for it, and pick the final result".
You create your AEW name by taking the first name of a random AEW wrestler, and then add the surname of another different AEW Wrestler.
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

Reportedly Vince McMahon is encouraging WWE NXT 2.0 towards edgier and newer content. Possible changes include altering in-ring styles towards more aggression, harsher language utilised in promos, more leniency for female attire, keeping up with current events and trends and topics.
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.

Did I mishear it, or did Beth actually refer to Bron's attempted submission as a "Recliner?"

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

ALERT
Vince McMahon has jumped decades into his movie viewing habits - he saw the shitty first Suicide Squad and that’s why the Riott Squad became a thing on the main roster.
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”.

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

Is there a general consensus on the worst WWE-name of all time? That is to say, either a renaming of an indy talent or a wholly original name for a debuting talent in the house style of First Name-Last Name (but with a bunch of unnecessary letters)? So for example, Mantaur is disqualified from this not only because it's a very cool name and gimmick.
After a while, you get used to them, but Dolph Ziggler and Braun Strowman were pretty roundly hated for a long time. Jaxson Ryker and now Bron Breakker have gotta be top contenders, too. Brooks Jensen is bad but only in a boring way. The women seem to have gotten off a lot easier, overall -- the only really awful name that leaps to mind (and is ancient at this point) is Kelly Kelly.
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!

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*

I am shocked that no one has come along to replicate Sid. Braun may have come the closest, but then he fell victim to shit WWE booking and his knees disintegrating within months after he started doing that shit where he'd run around the ring to truck someone.
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”

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.
