Bill Simmons knows basketball pretty well I'd say and seems to have a pretty good knowledge of....movies? Probably nothing on Sean Fennessey, though. That's all I got. It hurts to listen to him talk about anything else.
-
Shoemaker is a case of right place, right time. When I hear him talk about wrestling I would say to myself "there's a handful of guys on DVDVR who have better voices and are way more knowledgeable than this dude..." but it is what it is... I laugh when Simmons brings him on to talk history because he gets so many things wrong or just tries to bullshit his way through.

Just let Phil interview him. Not THAT Phil, our Phil. Put it on The Ringer. It'd be awesome.

By the way, I actually agree with Craig and others that he probably shouldn't air this footage or at least not hype it up for Dynamite. That makes it look like a cheap ratings ploy, it makes them look desperate and in my opinion it takes away from some of the good builds they have going on heading into 'Dynasty.' If you want to correct Punk and get your side out there, Tony could go do a podcast with a friendlier podcaster than Ariel and I'd have no issue with it. If it's not actual footage and a complete troll job that's about the worst case scenario and will backfire big time.

Craig, you said you were putting me on ignore. Why are you still mentioning my name in these threads? I was perfectly fine with you putting me on ignore and burying whatever issue it is that you have with me in the past. Now... if you did put me on ignore and are STILL mentioning my name.... that's sad

WRESTLEMANIA XL - 4/6 & 4/7/2024
Niners Fan in CT replied to Dolfan in NYC's topic in WWE PROGRAMMING
Not soon enough. They already showed at the Royal Rumble last year they have amazing chemistry... I'm ready for it. Also, at the presser Triple H said the hardest thing to do in wrestling right now is book a babyface who the fans won't turn on. He gave credit to Cody because he said there's something about Cody that people want to get behind him, likely because he's a great guy and it comes across on TV.. Interesting to see how this run goes. Daniel Bryan following WM XXX was a big bag of dogshit but that's Vince.. -

Bayley's selling of her knee was out of this world..... -

Night 2 shit all over Night 1 that's for damn sure...... Cody finishes the story!! Match of the Night for me was Bayley finishing HER story against Iyo Sky. Hell of a match! -
I will reserve full judgment for the time being but I think it screams desperation and I'm tired of the Bucks and Punk. All three of them are insanely immature.

You understand I wasn't comparing Jade to Maxxine? I was saying that the fans expect everyone to be great workers. -

You're talking about early Andre. I'm talking about black singlet Andre who could barely move but nobody cared because he was a fucking giant. Those days are done. -

I don't think the Goldberg thing works longterm. Can Jade show up and kick ass and squash people for a while? Sure... but when she's finally met her match whether it's against Bianca or Rhea or whoever, she's going to be expected to do the 15-20 minute main event style... that's just how it works these days. That's what the company will want and that's what fans have been conditioned to expect from all of the wrestling they consume. The days of Andre The Giant special attractions are over because there will be 10,000 people chanting "YOU CAN'T WRESTLE!" Look what happened with Maxxine about a month ago and nobody should EVER give a fuck whether Maxxine can string a couple moves together but apparently they do. -

We were at WrestleMania in New York and I've watched it back, the place was pretty loud. Plus, we were there for seven hours. It was just as cold as tonight was in Philly. Maybe Philly is just soft? -

When people say "Jade looked awesome" I will agree that she has a superstar presence but in-ring she looked lost at times and there really wasn't much required for her to do. I never bought into blaming AEW on where she's at with her wrestling. She had some decent matches with Red Velvet. She can have good matches but she's definitely still green so I'm not sure what's next for her. Maybe a tag team. -

Most disappointing match of the weekend so far. -

It's not over until we get the turnstile count and then weeks of debate between dirtsheets and podcasters. -

Heading into the second half of the show I was thinking "man... this has been kinda underwhelming" especially Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso which I thought had a chance to be a sleeper this weekend... But then we got the Jade, Bianca and Naomi squash which was pretty satisfying albeit I like Damage CTRL.. Sami Zayn getting a HUGE WM moment was great... him and Gunther was peanut butter and jelly. The tag match main event was slow as hell to start but it picked up later on. I expected Rollins to take the L but with Cody taking the L to The Rock I think he's finally finishing his story... -
WRESTLING ON THE INTERNET NOT FROM THE NOW
Niners Fan in CT replied to RIPPA's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Does anyone know if the 'Great American Bash' Tour shows from 1986 that were on WWE Network have made it to YouTube? Also, how many of the shows are available to watch? -
Cody is unbelievable in these settings. There's a reason why he is and should continue to be the new Cena. https://twitter.com/jedigoodman/status/1775583769023672427

I'm watching Twitter clips of this right now. It's exactly what I said it was. Punk airing out every bit of dirty laundry he has about the Jungle Boy situation and then firing little childish digs at Tony Khan about how to run a business. What business has Punk ever run? Anyway, it's what I expected. Punk fans will jump off bridges to defend this but it's exactly what I would expect from the man.

This is a discussion board. If someone is posting bullshit about one of my favorite wrestlers and that's what it usually is....bullshit.... then why wouldn't I reply to it. Why wouldn't I say "well...actually..." Sorry if that bothers you so much but that's what the place is for. To have discussions. Again. your issue is more the fact that she's a woman and you think because she's a woman that I can't just be a huge fan of her character and wrestling matches. Also, I don't care if you put me on ignore, I didn't ask to have a conversation with you ever...
-
You are an obsessed Punk fanboy and always have been. You can call me a Mercedes stan all you want.. do I look like it bothers me? What's weird about it is that I'm not allowed to be a big fan of a woman's wrestler....why because she's a woman? That's exactly why and it's embarrassing for someone who claims to be progressive. There was nothing in my post that wasn't a fact.

A lot of people have issues where they worked. We don't need to hear about them. To this day, Mercedes and Trinity never said a word about what really transpired with WWE management. People have tried to paint the picture of a lot of different things including veiled racism from a producer but we don't know the actual story and we might not ever hear about it. Punk on the other hand calls up a guy who has a personal beef with Tony Khan and they sit around and giggle about all the dirty laundry. That's all there is to it.
