    What’s the Miro/Punk thing?

    Miro posted a laughing emoji in response to Punk's comments on the Naomi/Sasha thing. People will read that different ways but I took it to mean that he thought Punk was full of shit to be pushing a "solidarity with workers" angle given the way Punk has talked about him and Lana in the past. 

    You know Punk tells this story to show how we was trying to help a new guy but I'm guessing "that fucking Rusev guy" and "fucking scared of me" didn't win him a ton of goodwill.

    Punk also publicly mocked the Bobby Lashley/Rusev angle when he was doing commentary on WWE Backstage and said that "the loser should have to keep Lana". That led to some spat with Lana on Twitter (probably staged) but he basically continued to shit over the angle. Which isn't exactly showing support for colleagues who are doing the best with the material they are given. Although I'm guessing he thinks they should have stood up for themselves more.

    OCTOBER 2020 WRESTLING TALK

    Maybe the link will work now

    The singer of the Portland "street doom" band R.I.P cut a version of the "Hard Times" promo today on Instagram and it's amazing. 

    Schtick aside, metal fans on the board should check out their new album "Dead End" (FFO Sabbath, Priest, Celtic Frost). Its really good.

    WWE COVID-19 RELEASE MEGATHREAD

    in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING

    Zack started his Jersey bro gimmick on The Dirt Sheet (which along with Santino's Casa was the main outlet 10 years ago for undercard dudes to goof around for their own amusement and in many cases, come up with better stuff than was being written for them). The whole gag was that it came out of nowhere and that "woo woo woo" would be the gimmick to get him and Hawkins over. Hawkins as the baffled straight guy to this is gold. 

    Zack was never as OTT on TV as he was on the web shows. I always assumed it was that the writers told him to tone it down. But he had plenty of potential as a delusional goofy heel and as a comedy face, they never made the most of him.

    The one debuting tonight is the Hardys and Shane Helms

    I think this marks the second time where Jeff Hardy has been arrested right before an episode of Table of 3 premiers that he is on

     Especaily be careful with the WWE lifers who have known nothing outside that system for all their lives. Like the Bulgarian dude for example. He's never going anywhere. He wouldn't last a day outside WWE on his own without being told where to go, what to do, what to say. He's not the only one but he's the best example of someone people have the wrong impression of because he does funny videos. 

    The guy who emigrated to the US and learned another language to become a pro wrestler? And who has got over repeatedly despite the evil foreign heel gimmick having a pretty short shelf life? Yeah he doesn't seem capable of doing anything without having his hand held ?

    Some info on his pre-WWE days here:

    DECEMBER 2018 GIFS THREAD

    in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING

    Posted

    I've been looking for a gif of this move for years. Success!

    AnotherPepperyGourami-size_restricted.gi

    Albert had an insane moveset back then. This, the TKO and the Baldo Bomb could all have been super murder death kill finishers. Sadly he only ever won on Heat. This move got dropped when Taker started using the Last Ride. 

    And no, I am not totally obsessed with Albert. Much.

    WWE UK TV Series Officially Announced

    in WWE PROGRAMMING

    Posted

    This is a mixed bag so far. There's been a fair few characters who feel hokey or not exactly TV-ready. The Coffey's are decent heels and I dislike Wolfgang for reasons I can't exactly explain, so they make a decent faction. Thought James Drake seemed better than in the UK tournament. The main event between Dunne and Burch was good stuff.

    Weirdly enough the thing that made the biggest impression on me so far was the Jinny promo. That looked great. Loved the 'Vogue'-esque graphics. Compare that to most depictions of "fashionable" women throughout wrestling history.

    I'm looking for a WCW logo shirt to wear at work (I work for a Turner subsidiary now).  WWEShop has nothing but the Halloween Havoc shirt and it's got the Star of David logo.  eBay seems empty as well.  Any suggestions?

    I've found a few on eBay, not official so no idea of the quality.

    Nitro/TNT logo:

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282461882630

    This seller in Canada ("knockoutees") has a bunch of nice retro WCW prints, including shirts for Muta, Pillman, The Steiners, 4 Horsemen etc and event shirts as well.

    Bash at the Beach logo:

    Danzig is a big wrestling fan so this doesn't surprise me. Nor does Spud marking out because as much as we make fun of Danzig, he's still Danzig

    Preaching to the converted here bruddah, I possess one of the world's worst Crimson Ghost tattoos. I've never seen Danzig live but have friends who literally fought people to touch his spikey rubber gauntlets when he reached into a crowd haha. 

    Rock and punk in the UK is a pretty niche/non-mainstream thing. I honestly wouldn't expect a guy who looks like Spud to know who he was, but hey, cool.

    Wrestlers meet Danzig could be it's own thread.

    I hope they aren't splitting up Tino and Moss already. They are such perfectly dislikeable dickheads together. I would keep them as a team for a long time, right to the main roster before ever thinking about splitting them. A face turn for either right now seems pretty pointless. People really hate Tino.
