She couldn’t tell you what WWF or WCW or anything else was but she knew the wrestlemania name. Maybe they are trying to hit the “old people who call things by one brand name market” I don’t think the rebrand will encourage her to order the show or subscribe to the network. This is the same audience that Asylum mockbusters are marketed to. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 On 4/12/2021 at 10:53 AM, Dolfan in NYC said: Is Joe officially retired at this point? Because Joe vs The Tribal Chief could fucking rule if he's moving to Smackdown. Joe is by far the best commentator they have. I wonder if he's any less produced than the others. If he is produced just as much as anyone else than even more props to him. CM Punk was amazing on commentary in WWE too. In my mind I don't see Vince Cussing Joe, Punk or even Booker when he was doing commentary but then again he treated Foley like the other Commentators. I've been seeing random clips of Joe cutting promos during his WWE run and he's come across so much better than everyone else, like what he says is his words and not like he's interpreting other people's words. I hope he isn't retired from the ring because he still very good over all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 NXT UK Takeovers are NOT on Peacock for some reason. Every other NXT Takeover and every NXT UK TV episode. But no NXT UK Takeovers. I can only presume that in the quest for Peacock to add a pause button they had to pause uploading all of NXT UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the Asylum made a cinematic universe out of their Avengers Grimm franchise. They did 2 Avengers Grimm films and Sinister Squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except WWE goes after anyone using any name remotely similar to their trademarks, which is why Kurt Russelmania had to be renamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, WrestleMania Backlash was basically my Twitter feed last weekend. Lots of people seemingly offended that people actually showed up for the show and enjoyed it.

I always loved Punk's work from IWA-MS to ROH, and then to WWE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk, Kingston & Prazak were awesome for that one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Punk's second greatest call was earlier in the show, when this exchange happened: PRAZAK: "So, CM Punk, are you sticking around for the CZW show tonight?" CM PUNK: "FUCK Noooooooooooooooooo!" 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 When Shawn was doing that exhausted collapse into a pin spot in '03, it was ruled a draw vs Hunter. Bryan and Edge would seemingly count the same way, and Roman is on top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
