I was gonna say that one, but I'll go with HHH doing the same thing when he walked out with Mayweather to sell Brock breaking his arm w the kimura lock (I remember Justin Bieber and another kinda oddball person being part of that walk out too)
I do remember Hunter walking out with Floyd (w/ Bieber), but I totally wasn't paying attention to that aspect. Maybe it's because as I mentioned before here, there are like 6,000 people in the ring before and after a fight and 99% of them don't belong there.

he should show up in a larger neck brace tomorrow night and an even larger one on Saturday
When the Russians turned on Don Kernodle, Kernodle was bed ridden and in a halo afterwards.
Wheel his ass around the arena in a bed.

Maybe it's time for Dariush to hang em up. And I've never been a big "X needs to retire" person. However, it's weird for a coach to be this honest and even say his fighter got KO'd in the gym. Then again, Cordeiro was one of the head coaches at Chute Boxe where guys use to get KO'd routinely in sparring cause everyone was going 100% all the time.

I mean sometimes you got to embellish a few things on the resume to get the job.

By "dirty work", you mean walking up and down several aisles aimlessly at Home Depot and then hopping on a computer to watch hardcore pornography when they should be working? If so, that would be a yes.

I'm not googling that. That's how I get on a list.
Damn, people find any reason not to support small businesses. One week it's "man, I dunno if I really have much use for an old timey coffin". The next week it's, "Didn't you try to embalm someone who was still among the living?" This man clearly needs money to pay for a staff. And real staff unlike the one he would have later on. I mean Gangrel is probably only good to make runs to Starbucks.
Honest, hard-working (dead) Americans can't catch a break.

In fairness, it's hard to stick to making coffins when you have to go wrestle five nights a week. It's like that guy at my job who makes tables in his garage and it takes him like six months. He doesn't even do a custom paint job like when Undertaker had that thing that looked like it'd be on the side of a van like a bitchin' wizard. We're being a little unfair.
They did! He was a time traveler. (I am not kidding.)
I feel like Taker is the one friend who begs you to let him make you something so he can get his "business" off the ground. And always overpromises and underdelivers.
"So yeah, is my coffin ready..."
"Oh shit dude, you needed it THIS week?!"
Also, can dead people take out SBA loans? I feel like that's a scam waiting to happen.

god knows the job guys are important. His son was a carpenter.
...We had a wrestling garbageman. Why was there never a wrestling carpenter? Was Taker technically a carpenter since he handmade coffins? And why did it take him like three months to make one coffin?
Wait...what was Hard Work Bobby Walker's occupation*?

How can we miss you if you won't go away?
Easy. Show up as the Midnight Rider or Stagger Lee or The BT Express or the Bullet or the Tennessee Stud or Charlie Brown from Outta Town or....nevermind, you get the point.

What a fight. Garcia delivered, and is probably one of the biggest PPV stars in the game rn. He said he's moving up to 147 at the presser.
Moving to welterweight is probably the smartest move physically, but I think he would had a much easier time adding to his resume he could have made 135 and 140. That and most of the young name are in those divisions.

Totally understood.
I mean I am not completely anti government regulation. It pretty much saved MMA in the United States (positive or negative depending on where you sit on the fence). It also has saved a few lives when abnormalities came up on blood work and brain scans. It also gave the boxing world one of the most hilarious fight card cancelations back in 1998 when the Holyfield vs. Henry Akinwande card was called off in New York cause Akinwande came up as Hep B positive, a fighter on the card was 21 weeks pregnant, and Ray Mercer couldn't get medically cleared. So the world was spared a 36 minute clinch fest stinker.
However, stuff like that is few and far between. When it comes to pro wrestling, usually it's something like Chris Cruise being an utter rat and snitching to the Maryland commission over blood. Nothing that can be considered halfway useful.

I've watched maybe several dozen combat sports events emanating from the state of Oklahoma. This may be the first time I've heard of them having a commission. Maybe it's probably because everyone purposely avoids it and tries running casinos on a reservation (they have the third best Miami behind Florida and Ohio).
Now that said, the only thing I would disagree with is paying any type of fine. On that, I would tell them to fuck off because AEW didn't try to sneak it by you. Yes, commission forms are commission forms. However, it ain't drug testing. The promotion knew they had a trans wrestler. You know who also knew? Literally everybody who follows pro wrestling. They didn't sneak it by you. So yeah, you weren't paying attention. Thus, that doesn't justify any punishment.
I think this was a few years ago now, but when Patricio Manuel (formerly Patricia Manuel) chose to turn pro after a very lengthy amateur career as a female, Andy Foster didn't put out a press release or any form of communication as the commissioner for California, And you can say, well that's California. Except Andy Foster is from Georgia and as southern as one could get by his accent. Hell, it's probably why out of all the commissions, California has the least shittiest one out of all of them and been the most progressive in terms of fighter safety and necessary rule changes.
This is purely driven by, "who can we embarrass and how?"
The commissions survive purely off money from other entities. The only way to force change is freezing them out. Continuing to run there is just going to embolden them. I think one of the worst things Tony could do is subject his talent to that anywhere on the globe they run.

If the conversation (pun not intended) regarding Gene Hackman last week is any indication, reclusive cat man Vince is going to be fodder for a lot of wild takes centered around aging. This goes especially since Vince looked rough in recent years.

I believe on the first ever NEO card, Kyoko Inoue wrestled not once, not twice, but THREE times. If you weren't getting enough Kyoko in your life, that's your show right there.

I give Jamahal Hill credit more than most people back when he challenged for the LHW title originally. However, he offered Pereira nothing he hadn't seen before. This was always going to be an extremely difficult matchup for him. You're either going to be absolutely superb as a striker or an outstanding wrestler so he doesn't decimate you on the feet. There ain't too many of those.

AWG retracted their statement, as apparently some things in it were incorrect. Fuka has asked for an apology.
Re: the Stardom lineup, I'm not that surprised about Sareee. She's a good freelancer draw, so why not get her involved. If anything, I'm more amused at Aja Kong showing up; that's a definitive sign that Stardom is in their post-Rossy era.
That's a big FU to Rossy.

Anyone else find it a bit odd that Sareee has a big match in Stardom and then a month later has a big match in Marigold? Not that the wrestlers themselves seem to be on bad terms or anything but with how Rossy left I just assumed they wouldn't really be sharing Freelancers. Although now I figure there is no way that Sareee beats Mayu, not that I expected that anyway but I can't see the IWGP Women's Champion wrestling on the debut Marigold show. But wrestling is wacky and weird so who knows.
I thought the same thing when I saw the lineup. However, the whole thing is weird considering the last several weeks were essentially lameduck matches waiting for everything to shake out. I am guessing they already committed to the IWGP Women's title match and Sareee is willing to honor that commitment.

I am not a big belt nerd, but isn't the whole thing about those belts (WWE's) is that some if not all of those designs aren't patented by WWF/E? It was cool back then cause they weren't made by the same person so they looked different. However, at some point, most of the belts were patterned after WWE's belts. Hell, other than UFC, everyone in MMA's belts looked like pro wrestling belts from the late 80s/90s. Just insert whatever promotion's logo and you got your MMA belt. There are literally several hundred of them floating around.
So from that perspective, I can get why you make the logo the centerpiece. You own the logo even if you don't own the design.
As much as I don't like the alphabet orgs in boxing, they have largely had the same belts for 40 or 50 years. Just little modifications over the years. What use to be the big two (the WBC and WBA) are the same, the green belt and the black belt/gold with hints of red respectively. The IBF, which came into prominence in the 80s, is the red belt with a little gold ornament hanging off of it. The WBO, which became the established fourth org in the mid 90s to early 2000s, is more brown/maroon-ish. The "super" version of the WBA title looks like the Ring Magazine belt used in the Rocky movies. Not going to blow your socks off, but they have a sense of importance, prestige, lineage, and respect.

The payday, which is prob why Brock still does anything in the ring.
in= dont think he has a DB like wishlist of guys he wants to wrestle.
If that was the case, he would sign with AEW which has some form of stability...at least relative to a company with no actual TV deal, sponsors (I wanna see who takes the brave leap to sponsor this), and ran by a man who probably won't have the vitality to run a company day-to-day. If Vince had to start over after the steroid trial, it would be different. This is 30 years later with much more dirt on his name.

The one walkout thing w/ a wrestler I do remember is Rey Jr. and Konnan walking out with Jhonny Gonzalez (the former Sexy Star's husband and the same guy who almost got into it with a drunk Jeff Jarrett the night Sexy Star went off script at TripleMania) the week after Perry Aguayo Jr. died. I just remember thinking, "Man...this is going to be even sadder cause Gary Russell Jr. is about to beat Jhonny's ass". And that's EXACTLY what happened. That was extremely depressing. I felt bad for those dudes.
