Butterbean went to DDP a year ago.

Oh boy did that but piss me off when I heard about this being 28 years. I want my French storyline goddammit!

I don't know if the stories about Butterbean going to DDP are true but if so they are in the early stages because man he is in bad shape here. Suzuki is going to have to get a sore back carrying this match Well at least people won't say that Josh Barnett vs John Morrison at last year's Bloodsport was the worst pseudo MMA match in WM history. Man except for the lucha libre stuff in the beginning, this Wrestlecon supershow has been awful.

I would say based on the last 6 hours that they are trying to get people prepared that Trump is showing up at WM this weekend.

I'm stoked for it but Sue Storm really doesn't look like a person who was around in that time period.

Lee Corso is retiring from "College Game day after 38 seasons. His final show will be Week 1 on August 20. I pray this is his exit line. https://youtu.be/vDw2ZGGlZgA?si=3YP1WRSecCGOW3Bi

I read both these posts as "Mallrats" and my mind went immediately a View Akew based wrestling promotion

Bet the Manchester United fans who left early are sickened. Should be.

I remember Steiner Brothers beating the Outsiders for the WCW World Tag Team Championship at Souled Out 1997 for Eric Bischoff to rescind it on Monday Nitro.

Please tell me what you think of it if you read it!

Kind of love the direction they are taking with this. The F4 as the only heroes and clearly active for a good while, a proper Galactus, the time frame giving it more of potential positive vibe. Love Franklin being on the way. Hope Valeria is as well before its over.

Yes, Triple H lost the WWF Championship to Chris Jericho on RAW and the referee Earl Hebner overturned it.

Didn't Triple H lose the belt to Jericho or TAKA or someone, and then get the title change nullified by yelling at Earl Hebner? Also I'm very grateful that I somehow managed to start two or three pages worth of Smashing Pumpkins and NIN discussion by accident, simply by alluding to the fact that Zero was in the 4-letter song tournament (on the Discord) and lost to Hook by Blues Traveller. nb: Nine Inch Nails already have two songs through to round two, Wish and Burn. Three if you count the Johnny Cash version of Hurt, which narrowly squeaked past Doop by Doop... at one point the NIN version of Hurt was also in the tournament, but I appear to have dropped it to make space for something else. Perhaps it should be reinstated?

Hunter, Steph, Roman and Nick Khan are in a race to see who can say the dumbest shit this week. I also found it funny how Triple H basically said "Yeah, Jey Uso sucks but the kids dig it." Way to put over your challenger for the world title Lol.

The DEFY show was solid. Mance vs KENTA was exactly what you would expect. The tag title matc feature the Kid Lykos, team Dragon Gate, and current Champs was good. The Rock and Roll Express faced a team called Midnight Heat with one of the guys named Ricky Gibson. Makes me wonder if this was the first time Robert Gibson and a Ricky Gibson faced off in a ring Tonight the Collective really picks up with the Wrestlecon supershow now and WWE Bloodsport tonight When did Matt Makowski turn into Matt Mako? Poor guy is too talented to be saddled with Riddle

Undertaker and Hogan? Hogan wins back the title at 'This Tuesday in Texas' and is stripped of it immediately after due to all the craziness that happened towards the end. Belt is vacated and put up at Royal Rumble 1992

Bob Holly was there for a long time never getting anything bigger than the hardcore title and tag titles. Did Funaki ever win anything? He was there for ever well into the Ruthless Agression era?

Also possible identity

Manchester United 5-4 Lyon AET, Agg: 7-6. Manchester United were 2-0 up, Lyon was 10 men down. Holy shit.

pretty much every podcast, at least every wrestling podcast, has a version of mission creep

I think European football is the best sport on earth. The amount of nonsense that I've seen in European competitions is unparalleled, and I've only been watching for a decade. And just as I type that, Harry Maguire wins it. Probably.

This is an interesting conversation. A few things I thought (which may or may not be as interesting) as I read through it: Basketball has made so many inroads into Oceania, Europe, and South America especially, but also East Asia and Africa at this point that the NBA's dream of making more revenue than the NFL at some point in the future is probably a reasonable reality. I think the NFL has a host of problems that it'll have to navigate that the NBA doesn't share, but the NFL's attempts to expand worldwide when their league is all about tacky Americana and Americana is deeply unpopular across the globe right now for obvious reasons are going to put a harder cap on what sort of revenue it can generate from non-U.S. viewers. (As a side note, if this means that Canadians reinvest their interest in their domestic football game and maybe make the CFL pre- and post-game stuff less loud and full of shitty country music to contrast itself to the NFL, that would be very cool for me as a CFL watcher.) I think Luka and Jokic have been a boon because they are ethnically white, and frankly, the large amount of white American fans are generally rooting for them because they care about having white stars to root for in the league. They don't have to be Larry Bird or Bob Cousy. It wasn't that long ago with AI as one of the faces of the league and Malice at the Palace and David Stern demanding that his mostly black players dress up like they're in the C-suite at Amazon before each game that a lot of media and fans were using the same coded language about the makeup of the league that they were using back in the 1970s w/r/t player drug use, etc. I don't think that the lack of ethnically American stars dominating the league matters to a large chunk of the NBA fanbase. Jokic's numbers will be downplayed like Oscar Robertson's are; I think people will look back historically on this period of NBA basketball the same way they do the late '60s and '70s and claim that he got his numbers because of general offensive inflation. I'm not standing by that position myself, but I think that's the position a lot of people who don't like the modern game will take. The NBA should at least stop having its oldheads on their own programming shit on the young guys. Shaq and Charles are not helping sell this league, even if they are amusing. They don't have to go full dictatorial like the NFL does. (As another side note, fuck the NFL now and forever for many things, especially the blackballing of Colin Kaepernick, but also fuck the NFL for learning on ESPN to cancel Playmakers. I'm still heated about that.) To tie this back to wrestling, I think the point about Japan being generally monocultural/homogenous, which is why their wrestling companies need to lead with Japanese stars, is excellent. Beyond some of the racial reasons that the NBA can run with Luka and Jokic on top and be okay in America while also appealing to other countries, I do think that American multiculturalism (one of our biggest strengths as a country, if not our biggest) means that the NBA can make enough of its domestic fans happy at least some of the time no matter who is on top of the league. I think that's true of the wrestling companies here as well, for the most part. It's a definite business advantage, at least.
