Spontaneous Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I only posted it because it cracks me up. He did have some good matches but I think his worst instincts are so prevalent that I remember only the excess. The guy blew the American Wolves NXT try out by doing too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some portions of the wrestling watching community do seem to object to those on principle though... 2 hours ago, twiztor said: i have never seen a Davey Richards match. i know him from two things: that GIF, and the "inside a steel Davey Richards" post from gods know how many years ago. my favorite thing about that Davey Richards superplex gif is that after all these years and all these times seeing it I have never actually known which one of them is Davey Richards, and I like it better that way. It's like the end of Animal Farm 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously leading to a no-count outs rematch, later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Found it interesting I wasn't the only one who'd never seen a Davey Richards match. There's been dozens of people this board have inspired me to check out more of their work. I think Richards is the only one I've avoided purely because of the reputation he gets from here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shartnado Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 This should probably go to some WWE threads, but the individual show threads of last week are closed already. Anyway, Finnish television is apparently giving wrestling a shot, once again. RAW and SD (seemingly these are week old episodes, so much better than the 4 week delay on the Network) are airing 11PM on Friday and Saturday, respectively. One way or another there has been a way to see wrestling on television (cable or satellite dish homes, anyway) in Finland since '87. There's always a few years when it's not on, but it creeps back in, despite the general populations' deep indifference or disdain for it. The same channel that gave it a chance in 2001 is now giving it a shot in 2021. I would think the fan base has shrunk to much less than what it was when they last decided that it was no longer worth the channels' time. Well, I'll be intrigued to see how long it lasts this time around. I did inform a couple of lapsed fans about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 This is the WON blurb about the RAW announcing change Quote The WWE Raw commentary booth will be changing once again as sports broadcaster and personality Adnan Virk is reportedly replacing Tom Phillips as lead commentator starting this Monday. The news was first reported by Wrestling Inc. and confirmed by Mat Men's Andrew Zarian. Dave Meltzer was unable to confirm as of Saturday night. Virk has a tie to WWE President Nick Khan as he was Virk's agent when he worked with CAA. Zarian added that Virk, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton will make up the new Raw announce team. It's unknown if that would mean Samoa Joe would head to SmackDown to replace Graves who is currently on the commentary team with Michael Cole. The Canadian-born Virk made headlines in 2019 for being fired by ESPN for reportedly leaking information to the media about the company. He has since moved on to work for MLB Network, NHL Network, DAZN, and his own podcast talking about movies that is now part of Dan LeBatard and John Skipper's new media entity. If the news is accurate, it's unknown what the future will hold for 31-year-old Phillips who has been with WWE since 2012. He has been the lead announcer on Raw, SmackDown, NXT, NXT UK, Superstars and Main Event in his tenure. This would make the second change in personnel on Raw as Charly Caruso recently departed for ESPN following reports of backstage issues in WWE. She was replaced by Kevin Egan (Kevin Patrick). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Sasha is a Wrestlers Wrestler at the end of day. She's a student of the Game. She follows Rob Naylors Instagram, I see her liking his classic wrestling posts. She's a big fan of Bret Hart too so she knows if you're going to lose, lose making your opponent looking like a million bucks as well as yourself. I think Sasha finally got what she felt like she deserved. She got a long enough title run, which she should have gotta a while ago. She got to have a program with someone lower lower on the card regardless of whether the angle was good or not leading up to Mania. On top of all that, she got to Main Event WrestleMania with another Black wrestler. What more could you ask for? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Sasha is proof that being "mark for the business" isn't a bad thing if you understand the work to be in the business I have to think next year is her redemption to being 0-6 at WM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arn was a mark for the business. Austin was a mark for the business. You don't need to be to succeed, but I think some of why Kurt Angle is lacking in selling and psychology is because he wasn't.
