Infinit Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Did the "Juvy's Juice Bar" segment happen on an XPW show? Because if so, that would probably be the best thing XPW ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Rob Black feels like catering to the "politically incorrect" segment of fans is somehow lucrative. I just checked their merch site and some of their shirts have slogans like "You can't cancel what was already cancelled". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first Philadelphia show Hostile Takeover, which also featured the Rob Naylor-approved "Best Tag Team Match Performance By a Guy Who Was Never Seen Before Or Since" in Smokey Carmichael: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be pretty scummy to be the mosted hated guy in wrestling AND porn I just happen to read an old review of one of XPW's shows last night. It's whatever show from 2002 that had the "Raw Sewage" match with the pornstars. When you consider stuff like that, I doubt ANYONE of sound mind and body would want to be in any way connected to him be it in the adult entertainment industry or not. If you want to be the G.G. Allin of pro wrestling, good for you I guess. However, there are better ways to lose your money than running a pro wrestling promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The Angels are in Oakland this weekend, so not likely that Ohtani can show up in a luxury box at Wrestlemania but right now, he'd pretty much be the one baseball player who could be in a crowd shot at a WWE show where the response from non-baseball fans wouldn't be heavily "who's that dude" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 as someone who didn't pay enough attention to names or dates, I thought Indi Hartwell was tweeting that picture in response to this Billie Starkz tweet: apparently i'm the prime demographic for "we can't have multiple wrestlers with the same first name, pal" based off of my occasional tripups in regards to Zoey Stark and Billie Starkz. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E.

Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America's Reddit AMA - Quote " Long story short: due to his totalitarian control over creative for decades, he has been the closest thing wrestling has had to an auteur. And if his canvas was the wrestling mat, his paint was his own psychosexual longings and revulsions. Hope you read the book!" Edited March 29, 2023 by John E.

odessasteps Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The WWE folks indirectly made news on Wheel when one of the contestants said the answer was “playing with balls” instead of ” playing with dolls” and everyone laughed and Pat tut tutted them.
