FEBRUARY 2019 WRESTLING DISCUSSION.

Eddie is the greatest of all time. Face, heel, flying, brawling, grappling, talking. Just fantastic at absolutely every element of being a pro wrestler. 

I fully agree, and want to add that he could kill it with comedy as well, and he spent time as both a great junior/cruiser and a heavyweight. If he'd lived a long life, I think it would be doubtless to many people that he was the best of all time.

I wonder if WWE booking stadium shows for the Royal Rumble is a way for them to counteract New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom attendance growing the past few years.


Not even a sliver of a chance that this is even partially the reason.

By booking it as a stadium show, it makes Royal Rumble more of an event in the vein of a Wrestlemania weekend. The type of fan that would go to a Royal Rumble weekend might have the same type of disposable income to travel to Wrestle Kingdom. 

I would think it has more to do with them trying to turn the SS/RR/SS into destination trips like WM. Plenty of ticket availability for travelers and more people in town to attend all of the shoulder shows in town as well. It's more of just a business expansion model I think.

This has nothing to do with anything current but I love the fact that a band made a song out of Harley Race's "Take the Damn Money" promo.

He growls into the mic, he glares into the lens 
He’s been pushed to the breaking point, and here’s where it’ll end 
He’s got a briefcase full of cash for anyone who’ll act 
On an offer to carry out his unsanctioned attack 

Somebody take the damn 
Somebody take the damn 
Take the damn money 
Take the damn money 
It’s right here for you 
Any limb will do 
Take the damn money 
Take the damn money 

The names upon his list, the devil’s entourage 
Spat through the titleholder’s gravel-lipped barrage 
The former champions, the demons from the East 
He pleads for anyone to cut out his disease 

“You are the champion, you took the belt from me 
You’re the man, you can do it, come and get it please” 

Somebody take the damn 
Somebody take the damn 
Take the damn money 
Take the damn money 
It’s right here for you 
Any limb will do 
Take the damn money 
Take the damn money

The wife of Corey Graves claiming that Corey and Carmella were having an affair. I really don't think there's much good that can come from discussing it though, so I'mma Homer Simpson it into that shrub over there.

His ability to read the crowd and work based off their reaction. He and Benoit would be agents by now. Well I even wonder if Eddie didn't die alot of the good changes probably would not have happened.

Enzo tweeted twice about the Corey situation and yikes... Corey really screwed up as a father.

Alright, no more jokes. Crappy situation.

From what I gathered before she took them down, Graves sent his wife texts about wanting to end it all and swallowing a bunch of pills and booze to do it. Asked her to tell the kids how much he loved them, etc.

The wife seems to indicate that he used those moments to inflict emotional abuse, tried to intimidate her by saying WWE would sue her over her IG posts (now deleted), and that Carmella pretended to be her friend all while sleeping with Graves.

Rotten situation all around.
