He looks like a million bucks and he's about to con a town into starting a boy's band. Yeah, Seth is dressed for a Derby party (I went to one this weekend and Seth would have fit right in). Becky's outfit would be a better fit if it wasn't metallic but I know that's her thing. I know they use the same stylist so I wonder what he was thinking.

Cobra Commander Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 This probably isn’t a huge shocker but derby fashion was a bit of an inspiration for some of Cornette’s attire game. Although I think he said he got his stuff from a store in Nashville early on. Also worth noting that Derby fashion probably isn’t fly off the handle until the last decade or two.

Technico Support Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 1 hour ago, Raziel said: It's likely meaning less Lawler on pre-show panels and more Big E and Punk (until he's healed). Punk's been hanging out down in NXT trying to get in the right headspace to replace Lawler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintthecrippler Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 It would be an absolutely awful move but also fucking hilarious if at Vegas Mania 2025 they recreated the ending of WM9 but with Cody as Bret, Rock as Yoko, and Roman as Hogan. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fathers & Son vs Father & Son That match felt very out of place especially since that was when WWF was transitioning to a different era. That whole buildup felt like something that would have taken place on Raw 3 or 4 years earlier. Either Ivan called in a favor to give his son the rub or being in San Antonio made WWF want to do something different to appeal to the folks who might still remember Ivan Putski. Either way, it was very odd. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 i'm sure the crowds for Ivan Putski/Jose Lothario tag team matches in 1973 Texas were red hot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Having sat on this I feel that CM Punk has point with wrestlers being paid on houses draw. NHL, MLB, NBA, and NFL all have salary structures that are based on the athletes getting a certain percentage of revenue. Even the UFC had main eventers getting point of the PPV money. There's no reason where if WWF wrestlers unionized salaries couldn't be tied revenues in a similar fashion (both TV rights money and paid attendance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
