Eoae Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Pelle probably needs to move on. He's been popping up in my Twitter feed since he started trying to raise money for an attorney and he seems desperate to "get" Joey. He has good reason, and it's not going to bother me any to see Ryan get taken down, but I mostly feel like Pelle's not going to get out of this what he hopes and is more likely to ruin himself financially and emotionally. The stuff he's posting today make Ryan look sleazy (not news), but don't cast him or Scott in the best light either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoae Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 According to Meltzer, Riddle really did forget his lines and just decided to walk off. And Vince thought it was hilarious and laughed his ass off. I would have bet money on Vince blowing a gasket and booting Riddle off tv. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Various reports out there saying Mia Yim and Shane Thorne are being moved to Smackdown. Unsure if they'll keep the Retribution gimmicks or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I wonder if that means Keith Lee goes with Mia because if so then he's got some awesome matchups waiting for him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 So I decided to watch the Most Wanted Treasures show on A&E and it is rather interesting. Although the biggest thing I can't figure out how did these people get this to begin with? I am going to assume some of this probably half of this is a work. Also have no idea why someone other than the WWE or the person/family themselves wouldn't have Andre the Giant's casket and the shirt Jerry Lawler wore when he almost died on RAW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if they'll keep the Retribution gimmicks or not. Here is the blurb from WON Quote Two wrestlers who had been part of RETRIBUTION have changed brands. PWInsider reported on Monday that Reckoning (Mia Yim) has been moved to the SmackDown roster. Post Wrestling confirmed that news and also reported that Slapjack (Shane Thorne) has been moved to SmackDown. Reckoning and Slapjack had both been members of the Raw roster as part of RETRIBUTION. Whether or not Yim and Thorne will still be using their RETRIBUTION personas going forward remains to be seen. Both were called up from NXT when RETRIBUTION debuted last year. RETRIBUTION split up after their leader Mustafa Ali lost a title match against United States Champion Riddle on the Fastlane pre-show last month. When Ali berated the rest of RETRIBUTION following the match, Reckoning walked out on him and then Slapjack did the same thing. T-Bar (Dominik Dijakovic) and Mace (Dio Maddin) then laid out Ali with a double chokeslam. Last week's Raw ended with T-Bar and Mace attacking Drew McIntyre and giving him a double chokeslam. After McIntyre defeated Randy Orton and Braun Strowman in a number one contender's match, WWE Champion Bobby Lashley's' associate MVP came out to the stage. With McIntyre's attention turned to MVP, T-Bar and Mace ambushed McIntyre. T-Bar and Mace were still using their RETRIBUTION personas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Smackdown is a good move for Yim. She has a better chance of doing something there even if just to serve as a throw away challenger for Bianca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda ballsy (in Vince's concept of the term) to just be like, "Fuck it, I'm out" instead of floundering, Kallisto style, to say something. The look on Asuka's face, though, holy shit. That's hilarious. When did this happen? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Oh wild. Awhile back when NJPW was pulled from AXS, I thought they would land on Vice. Vice had a successful series about wrestling in Dark Side of the Ring and another series about wrestling as well. The only thing they didn't have was a promotion on their channel. Somehow, someway, NJPW landed on Roku and now it's MLW that will be on Vice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Wow @Craig Hthis is actually the first I've read the MLW/Vice news. I have to say, good on Impact and NWA for getting involved with AEW out of the gate, because to me, without the whole "forbidden door" thing, this shoots MLW right up to the default #3 position (I understand ROH is likely in more homes due to Sinclair's wide reach, but 1) it's broadcast syndication vs. a full on cable channel, and 2) it kinda sucks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I catch it is off of YTTV's DVR. It airs on our CBS affiliate at 1 or 2 am on a Saturday or Sunday. At least it used to. It may have moved. And the last time I watched it still looked low rent, which is made even worse by the pandemic. I still hope NJPW winds back up on AXS or even Vice or something else other than Roku. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hey, someone help jog my memory. This is one of those dumb as fuck things that I can't remember that I'll think about whenever I don't have anything going on. Around 1999 to 2001 there was some Samoan or Tongan wrestler that the young internet was going crazy over at the time. I think Eric Bischoff even said that this kid would be bigger than Hulk Hogan. The only thing is, I don't think they ever signed with WWE or WCW. Maybe they worked some WXW or some Japan stuff? I'm not sure. Either way, the hype didn't pan out, obviously. Anyone know who I'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it sure it is. I don't know about it on the back but there's so much wrong with it being on the front. And what's bad is it's so easy to just not use that phrase and put either his logo or his face in place of it. Heck, put the phrase on the leg instead if it needs to be there. It can't be that hard, can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remembered we had a merch thread after I posted mine and I saw yours. That was the first time I noticed the drawstrings hanging in front of LET ME IN. Yeah, to echo the other thread, whoever thought of that should be fired. My wife I have the kind of relationship where we mess with each other a lot, but even wearing those shorts as a goof wouldn't go over well. I never thought something would be as bad as AJ Style's jizz t-shirt, but man, those shorts are the worse ever. BUT...it gave us Bivens clowning on them and the Backwoods logo still kills me so silver linings and all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
