...again, when Hangman Page and MJF both eat Kross Hammers to end Forbidden Door, make sure your jaw drops. 

Imagine understanding what “Kross Hammer” means.
 

Couldn’t be me!

Bret Hart has some of the best punches and kicks ever. I think Bret Hart has the definitive version of nearly every move: Best Sharpshooter of all time, European Uppercut, Suplex, Superplex, DDT, Elbow drop, Bulldog, Hart Attack clothesline, regular clothesline etc. Excellence of Execution is such an apt name for him

Bret definitely had the best side Russian legsweep and the best inverted atomic drop as well.  

[odessasteps]

Dont tell the Armstrong family that.

[StevieNippz]

I gotta say I always thought Bret's punches and kicks looked so fake and terrible. I think it's ridiculous that he complains about leg slapping nowadays when every time he strikes he's stomping on the mat in an almost comical manner.

I knew I forgot one while waiting to see X-Men 2 in the cinema on re-release. Cheers.

Becky Lynch is a treasure.

[Cobra Commander]

Spin idea for anybody who is being forced to put a positive spin on the WWE/Brock situation: insist that since Brock has been getting paid for 2 years to do nothing that having him work matches is punishing him

(it likely isn't but still, if you have to try something)

[Curt McGirt]

Bret hated Bad News Allen for the same reason, literally called him "a meat-chopper". 

Dolfan not remembering the Owen Hart friggin' Tribute Match is wild haha. Sorry bud, had to say it. I still have that sucker on VHS from that night over here. 

Karrion Kross, coming soon to an MLW event near you, to take the title from... hmmm, can't remember his name... some barefoot dude

[hammerva]

The women's locker room has gotten a little more safer as it was announced that Ashante Thee Adonis announced his departure from the company.   I kid I kid

I assume he will be in TNA with Top Dolla soon

A crow brought me  a small foam heart as a gift for putting out a bird feeder last week. 

I've got bigger things to worry about right now. 

[Niners Fan in CT]

Hopefully the Kross thing isn't an elaborate work because I watched his documentary and I'd hate for those fans with real life problems to be in any involved in a wrestling angle. 

[Cobra Commander]

Are there really wrestling contracts that expire on days aside from the end of a month. A contract expiring on August 10th? Does Kross adhere to an alternate kind of calendar?

[username]

I went and checked and he returned to WWE tv on August 5 of 2022 so if that was done while they had a sort of handshake deal and were still hammering out the final contract details then it'd be exactly 3 years so... maybe!?!

The E has scheduled an unnamed PLE on Saturday September 20th in Indianapolis. 

This is in direct competition to All Out.    

 

So, yes, Hunter is still pissed about NXT. 

[Niners Fan in CT]

And Nick Khan is still pissed that they have to pay talent with real money instead of hotdogs and handshakes.  You see, when there's a promotion like AEW out there who are paying talent top dollar,  that forces the poor little multibillion dollar corporation to have to shell out more cash themselves.  Which in turn affects their bottom line and then the shareholders get upset.  It might hurt Nick Khan's Christmas bonus.  

I don't give a fuck about watching Lesnar and Cena for the 100th time.  I'll give you a hint. There will be many F5s and many FUs.

According to Meltzer, they're planning on doing Brock vs. Cena at this PLE. 

[Curt McGirt]

In "Cranky Old Man Gets Reason To Be Even Crankier After Getting Dissed" news: Bret was invited to sit ringside, then told they didn't have a seat for him at The Summerslam.

I wonder if they still have that giant cowboy boot trophy Dusty had.

Odds are Cody has it.

WOL is saying that Naomi may be losing her title and getting pulled off TV.

Sounds like she'll be out for about 9 months.

Congrats if true but also boo, shes been doing some great work the last year+

[odessasteps]

That’s one way to keep that USO from getting behind the wheel in an impaired state. Stay home and watch the kid. 

[RazorbladeKiss87]

Gotta keep the Bloodline running!

 

Congrats if true.
