Doc Townsend Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Found out last night that 2020 is a bad time to try to explain Slick and the Twin Towers to people who don't watch wrestling. I thought I might be able to get out of the conversation somewhat gracefully until Akeem won his match and he started dancing to "Jive Soul Bro".

It's the first "Fired/Stripped". Alberto's was from the Paige shit but it was a suspension and he came back 90 days later and stayed with the company another 7 months until he was fired for no-showing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Remember right after Eddie died, someone asked Vince if he would be financially supporting Eddie's family, and his response was "Eddie's merchandise will be on sale forever. And all of the royalties will go straight to the family". Which was scummy enough then. But to find out that they weren't actually giving the family royalties? It's a very good job that Vickie is such a great non-Wrestling performer. If she'd have sucked at promos, Vince would never have kept her around so long.

RIPPA Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Jamie Knoble is the latest WWE employee to announce he tested positive for COVID-19 (He did it via his private Instagram page) Tapings are still on for tonight - thought apparently the Taker tribute will be taking up the majority of the show And the memo sent to all NXT talent Quote Per Vince, ALL Talent are needed for TV on Friday & Saturday. Please go to PC by 10:30 AM TODAY for drive-through COVID testing. if you took test yesterday, you don’t need to today. If you are in high level storyline, you will be off camera. Thanks. **IMPORTANT: after test, you will need to remain ISOLATED AND QUARANTINED until after the TV tapings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - it is the usual schedule they have been doing which is 2 weeks at a time So tonight is however much of SDL isnt the Taker stuff and RAW for Monday Then tomorrow they are supposed to tape SDL for July 3 and RAW for July 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Townsend Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The dude that changes his mind and rewrites shows hours before they go live is never going to tape a month of tv in advance. Did Braun pull himself from shows? It doesn't seem like i've heard his name mentioned for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on last week when Bray did a FFFH segment that ended in the return of the cult leader persona. They seem to be delaying Braun vs. the Fiend. I assume they want an actual audience for it.

Ever since quarantine, my buddy and I do a wrestling Zoom watchalong every Thursday. We just so happened to have watched the Chamber of Horrors last night. Only in pro wrestling would you watch something end with a goofy amateur wrestler savant belly to belly suplexing an obese faux-Sudanese lunatic who stabs people with a fork into an electric chair...ahem, I mean, Chair of Torture, and the switch is mistakenly thrown by a madman from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. And I fucking love it. Also, that's one of the few multi-person matches you'll ever see where Scott Steiner or Sting is the smallest guy in the match in terms of mass.

BurningBeard Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) I watched Halloween Havoc 91 yesterday too! What an absolute clusterfuck that match was but if it wasn’t the most amazing spectacle when I was a kid! Everyone shits on 91 WCW with Flair leaving and the influx of cartoony gimmicks, but having been working my way through all the Clash’s and PPVs since furlough I’ve got to say it’s such a breathe of fresh air when Dusty comes in. Lots of new faces and pushes and a modern presentation after Ole’s reliance on old faces and reserved booking and mediocre production. You can tell Dusty’s time in WWF had a major influence Edited June 26, 2020 by BurningBeard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we were wondering, why in the hell weren't all those guys in singles or tag matches to fill out the card? Sting was the US champ so surely he could've defended it against Abby or Cactus or Scott Hall. I guess they really needed the time to squeeze in those Van Hammer/Doug Somers, Oz/Bill Kazmaier and Big Josh/PN News vs. The Creatures matches.
