For Great Justice

Tana is lookin reeeeeaaaaaal jacked baby. I’d love for him to enter the late stage Rocky Balboa “fuck agility I’m gonna become a brick shithouse hoss and knock assholes out” grumpy old man phase. Tenryu Tanahashi time.

Mongo Twitter is amazing. And the untapped treasure trove of Mongo commentary remains to be opened

Mongo was great. The Halliburton, the rings, Debra, the shit talking. Loved that dude. That he was sloppy as fuck as a brick shithouse jock was on character.

Thinking out loud of outdoor facilities in Texas for a wrestling show, Toyota Stadium would be interesting. 20k capacity (25% = 5k), just outside of Dallas.

"YOUR SHIRTS ARE TOO TIGHT TOO, TONY" - Mike Tyson

Wardlow might be the best squash guy going right now. That mans work tonight would fit in just fine in @gordi’s thread.

A request guys: There was a video posted here maybe 5, 6 years ago of raw footage of Dusty Rhodes in a locker room cutting 4 or 5 local promos in a row. I wanted to show it to a friend as one of the coolest wrestling things I’ve ever seen, but am coming up with nothing on YouTube. Does anyone remember this? And if so, have a link?

Late to the party but Kendricks promotion (via New Day pod) sounds like the greatest shit I’ve never seen and now I’m going to go down the Wrestling Pro Wrestling rabbit hole

I’d say that loving Sid is one of the four most common things that led users here from elsewhere on the wrestling internet, in particular in the 2000-2005-ish timeframe: -Sid being awesome -Mark Henry matches being awesome -Vanilla terrible storyless chain wrestling by Johnny Kickpads dudes sucking -Bunkhouse Buck Truly the Mount Rushmore of DVDVR getting it right.

Jericho was so good in 2008 that as a dickhead heel he won a kayfabed Slammy for wrestler of the year because he was shoot the wrestler of the year. One of the best runs you’ll see.

Time to redo this meme with Rollins and Lee

Arn/Jake segment was really bad. And I agree on Brodie Lee talking. Ray Fenix looked great tonight.

These shows have been bad but I’ve really enjoyed how they’ve booked Drew. Wrestles every week, likable guy, takes on all challengers. Nice change.

Well now we’re going to get Savio Vega

That's terrible news. Larry reviewed anything and everything. Truly an amazing work ethic.

The match was pretty bad. It’s sort of like a movie that has all the right actors in it with a big name director and yet it turns out kind of terrible, but no one wants to really admit it, so it gets an Oscar nod and all that, and then years later the general consensus that it was bad all along starts to rise above the surface. Bret/Shawn Ironman is Million Dollar Baby.

Otis has some Bill Watts Babyface in him with his amateur background and fire. Theres a fine line between sympathetic babyface and dumbass. They need to be careful with ideas like “Sonya suckers him into the briefcase then turns on him”. My suggested Otis booking strategy is “what would JYD do?”

THAT kick from Fenix to OC makes for two bump of the year candidates in two weeks for AEW.

They need to get Oney Lorcan to agree to babysit that kid now because the poor little guy is going to have an uphill battle on Twitter game with that DNA.

MITB was bad. "Doink" and Steph were especially embarrassing for a company that, if nothing else, can pride itself on production values. Vince looked rough. Asuka is the 2020 MVP of the entire company.

Last Ride pt 1 is up.

And oh man I marked out hard at that Show/Kane chain wrestling match at the time. That shit was great, and totally out of left field. I presume that was a rib. 14 years ago!

this could be nostalgia misremembering but WCW got really fun circa December 2000 until the closing stretch. Cruiserweight ace (in trunks!) Shane Helms with the vertebreaker, the main event built around Steiner and Booker, Flair and Dusty doing really fun old man comedy stuff. I enjoyed it a lot. Who was booking then?
