I though it was perfect. What better way to sum up Triple H's WWE career than with an overlong self-indulgent in-ring comedy segment that isn't funny? The segment where Vince came out to bury his own product or did they do something equally horrid on the 5/1 show? Caught part of the Vince segment on Youtube. I feel like Vince standing in a darkened, empty arena mocking his own show during a time when virtually every other form of live entertainment has been forced to shut down is one of those images that is going to live on for a long time. When the eventual Rise and Fall of WWE documentary hits ESPN from years from now, that clip is going to be up there with the XFL clip of Vince wishing Bob Costas wasn't a little guy so he (Vince) could beat him up.

Tarheel Moneghetti Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Is RAW still a taped empty arena show tonight? Live events are permitted in Fla as of today (25 percent capacity), but I haven't heard anything to indicate a live show tonight? Someone (Meltzer) mentioned that Vince is already talking to arenas about bookings. AEW is planning to run live three times this month. Anyone know if they're admitting fans. AEW has done better than WWE, but the empty arena shows are still fairly dull. Pro wrestling needs at least a small crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southside Jim Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Very sad flare up of Dave's dementia on today's WOR: When talking aboutt meeting Eddie Mansfield at a Walmart in St. Petersburg, Florida while in town for SuperBrawl 91, he claimed that the Smoking Gunns got their start in Mansfield's IWF, feuding with Bill and Scott Irwin. In reality, the Gunns were known as "The Long Riders" in the IWF, which was also the name of the Irwin brothers tag team, and of course, Scott had been dead for four years at that point when Bart Gunn debuted.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) We should make a podcast that corrects Meltzer’s botches. We’ll call it “Meltz Mistakes”.

ReiseReise Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I'm not one to backseat moderate, but whoever thinks Shane McMahon should be bought back in any capacity deserves a time out. Okay, I kid. But I never want to see a character like Shane be booked like he was last year again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southside Jim Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I only want Shane to come back if it's to face a rejuvenated Toshiaki Kawada who has regained all the weight he's lost and is back in fighting shape. Seeing Shane O'Mac get Irish whipped into the corner, and then just absolutely drilled in the face with a super-stiff running kick to the jaw would be worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like when he refers to Dave as a “jock sniffer” which may be one of the biggest cases of the pot calling the kettle black considering Eric had his head so far up Hogan’s ass at one point he could probably write a thousand word essay describing the joy he took in sniffing Hogan’s jock. At least Dave’s heroes aren’t Biker wannabes. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Moneghetti Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Luke Gallows is trying to trademark the name "Sex Ferguson". I thought that was his name in Southpaw, but his Southpaw name was "Tex Ferguson". Now I'm confused which name he used in the indys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
