(BP) Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Lol remember when Raw got kicked out of the Pepsi Center for the NBA finals and Vince hired impersonators of the arena brass to belittle (plus a Jack Nicholson impersonator) and spent like 20 minutes talking about how the one guy’s name rhymed with penis? He was on one that night, and that was a much smaller deal, plus he was 30% less likely to be sundowning back then. My prediction: He comes out and douses himself with a bucket of Purell, then rubs his body against a guy dressed in that Mae Young’s adult son hand costume while screaming, “How fucking hard is this, you animals?!” Then he brings out a pile of toilet paper stacked like the money in the Dark Knight and sets it on fire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They confirmed Edge for tomorrow night's show, and Undertaker is supposed to appear to sign a contract with AJ. I won't be at all surprised if they keep building WrestleMania without talking about a firm date or location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Theoretically if they tape a ton of matches/angles in empty arenas spoilers can't get out unless someone on the production team is an Observer subscriber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Fuck it, just keep the talent at home and do the matches with holograms. That’s still a trendy thing, right? You can have the audience be holograms too. A football stadium full of ‘em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Rewatched the two Umaga v. John Cena matches from 2007. Jesus Christ, Umaga was amazing. King-sized beatdown, with endings that felt shocking but earned. Loved the remorse on John's face after literally choking out Umaga. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Was amusing myself a few days back by looking up a bunch of WON Worst MOTY "winners" and runner ups on YouTube. One thought: Shelly Martinez vs Rebel winning in 2016 was as big a travesty as has ever happened in the awards voting. Don't get me wrong: it's one of the worst matches of all time and in any other year would've been more than worthy. But my God that Kimbo vs Dada 5000 match. Both the promoters and the commission members who allowed that fight to happen should've ended up in jail. Not only was the fight unbelievably awful Dada literally ended up clinically dead in the middle of the cage.

I'm not Eddie, but I do highly recommend the AIW JT Lightning tournaments, gauntlet for the gold shows, and the IWA MS early Ted Petty Invitational tournaments. They will keep you entertained and busy for awhile. If you want recent shows, the Beyond weekly UT shows were great too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda want wrestlers to play through the card on 2K20 and stream it just to see their rage when bugs render the matches un-finishable. Also, AJ Styles raging his way through any game is usually entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
