Wrestlemania 29 when the audience started "Fandango-ing"? Then you had the Full Sail crowd who were more into the theme than the wrestlers themselves (Bobby Roode).

To be fair, Glorious is the best thing about Bobby Roode. To think, Glorious was written for Shinsuke Nakamura.

I’m gonna pretend this is Sting from the police v the guy from Behemoth

Bite your tongue!! I love me some Bob Roode. In another dimension, he's a 5 time NWA champ. I honestly don't know why - maybe it was the TNA manager search angle back in the day- but for some reason, he always exuded old school to me in the way FTR does for many now

Bobby Roode was better at being Triple H than Triple H was. 

The best Triple H vs Sting match in history is Sting vs Bobby Roode.

My Dad has that Cancer. I had him take Cannabis Oil and it got him in remission for years. It came back aggressively last year and he got his numbers down recently. That's a rough Cancer because is blood plasma cancer. It can go anywhere and it goes up to stage 3 for that cancer is what the doctor told. I found an herbalist for my Dad and she put him of herbs that cleanse The blood and cleaned up his diet in the beginning and he got off chemo in 4 months after his diagnosis and he was at the final stage when he was diagnosed and this was in 2016.

Jeez can fight this.

[Cobra Commander]

guessing "Wrestler who wins matches with their knowledge of history" is a little too niche of a gimmick?

Gunning to replace Woods as wwe worker with a PhD.

Wembley ticket sales up to 43,000 now. Two days before they actually go on sale. I can’t help but think the main message we can take from this is that Vince McMahon left a lot of money on the table by NOT running a stadium show in the UK since 1992.

Like, every naysaying “this show will fail hard” rationalisation that the Vincels espoused, and still it sold so quickly, so heavily? That indicates a massively untapped market. 30 years of wrestling fans, begging to see the big spectacular, and all that’s on offer is a Wrestlemania travel package? It’s bad business. Man’s a damned fool.

[Dog]

I thought there wasn't another presale until tomorrow? 

[AxB]

There was one today for “AEW Partners”. Presumably Khan family employees, businesses that work with the Khan family businesses, Club Wembley members and Craven Cottage season ticket holders or something.

[Curt McGirt]

Now I'm imagining Sting wrestling a dog haha. 

I can also imagine Sting being asked who ORION was and being responded to with "Who the hell is ORION?"

God damnit! I was gonna add that as a secondary 'Judges would've also accepted...' joke, but I couldn't find it cause I thought it was Vampiro!!

Sting vs Orion, the masked Elvis impersonator?

Holy fuck even for me that’s a deep pull.  Sorry.

Really I’m just happy someone else knows the weirdness that is the Orion/Elvis story.

If Vince would've ran it again before September/October '97 , he probably would have not wanted Bret to leave. Especially  Austin took off the following year they wouldn't have had much of an issue filling up the Stadium but Bret Hart being a proven draw over there definitely would've been a big case to keep him and probably would have been an incentive to run more often. The USA vs Canada angle would've been a good chance to run a good chance to do a Canadian Stampede type Main Event. Bulldog, Bret and Owen vs Shawn , Hunter and insert a top heel that would make sense to team with them.

Wait a second ... is it true that Bianca's Women's title reign is "resetting" back to zero because she went to Smackdown?

[joseph2112]

On this here Grumpy Old Men board (which I admit I am one), this years "Get Off My Lawn Kid" award goes to people being annoyed with fans singing along with entrance songs lol.

No one knows until we see how WWE treats it.
