August 2023 Wrestling Discussion

[Dolfan in NYC]

We begin August with SummerSlam!   We end with All In! 

But with his passing yesterday, I'll take a moment here to remember the best Raw host of all time (non-Muppet division):

 

[BloodyChamp]

I loved him. The end of Pee Wee’s Playhouse was also the end of Saturday morning kind of, and it was always sad seeing him fly off on that bike. But he was so much fun. Here’s another video.

Is there a more punchable person in wrestling right now than Seth Rollins?

Oh wait, Logan Paul is back. Nevermind.

WHOA-OH-OH

WHOA-OH-OH

WHOA-OH-OH

[Curt McGirt]

...in other words, his fans?

He always seemed punchable going back to Tyler Black and the Age of the Fall days.

Speaking of punchable, is Jordan Oliver still around?

[John E. Dynamite]

Sammy Guevara did his best, but Seth wins on continued relevance.

Based on observed striking defense you have to mention Ronda Rousey and the other Horsewomen who trained at Glendale Fight Club. Marina Shafir might be the objective answer to the question.

Hell yeah he is, he fucking rules. Half of the GCW tag team champs with Nick Wayne, as the East West Express, and current JCW champion, which he won by winning the Jersey J-Cup tournament

Was trying to come up with a different answer but I think Logan Paul takes it forever. How this dude wasn't just launched into the sun after the suicide forest thing completely escapes me. Fuck that guy with the business end of a weed whacker.

[Zimbra]

Well ok then.

In case it doesn't embed, this is from today's WWE earnings report: "WWE's disclosure in 10-Q today: "On July 17, 2023, federal law enforcement agents executed a search warrant and served a federal grand jury subpoena on Mr. McMahon. No charges have been brought in these investigations."

Maybe they were looking for more of Vince's orange friend's stolen documents.

[odessasteps]

Maybe they tried to serve them on the fictional character Mr McMahon. 

[Peck]

I KNEW that limo explosion was still under investigation.

Occam Razor suggests that this probably has to do with him paying of his mistresses, but there's also a non-zero chance it's related to the financial side of the J6 stuff.

[Cobra Commander]

No wonder that Vince decided to get spinal surgery a few weeks after the Feds served a search warrant on him

[Greggulator]

My sense is that the federal grand jury probe is going to tie in with the WWE having to restate its earnings to the general public because Vince used a WWE check for his hush money payments. That's the absolute biggest no-no a publicly traded company can do. Also, the Biden Administration is really, really, really cracking down on Wall Street abuses. Just my sense from writing about this stuff...

I know, I'm just kidding.

Holy shit, @Cobra Commander, I never considered that.  Unreal.

I bet Vince has the best physical therapists working around the clock to he can get back to his favorite pastime of (checks notes)...using his corporate power to coerce women into sex.

Incredible sentence construction here. Hope the Bucks are lawyered up:

Vince knows the guy who used to be an ant?
