I wouldn't be shocked to see Mickie James in NWA. I think Chelsea probably goes back to iMPACT! & it seems like a no brainer for Peyton Royce to wind-up in AEW with Shawn Spears. Which probably means Billie Kay goes with her. Maybe Kalisto winds up in ROH. Wonder if any of them will show up in MLW. I imagine they all have 90-day no complete clauses. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Samoa Joe. If nothing else, I hope we get another shoot interview or podcast from him. Always loved his story-telling.

Of course not but you're trying to "well actually" a Tweet. But go ahead & "do you" which means looking like an idiot.

You're reading WAY too fucking much into it, dude. Learn to take a joke, goddamn.

Skye Blue is going to be working Britt Baker on Elevation. I put Skye Blue over in an NWA Powerrr write-up I did here in the NWA Powerrr thread a couple weeks back. I like her & think she'll only continue to improve, so that's pretty cool to see for me.

Does he know professional wrestling? Mike Adamle didn't exactly work out. Can he call the moves?

I can't get over that Nattie Neidhart & Tamina Snuka Vs. Nia Jax & Shayna Bazsler was not only a Wrestlemania match, for the tag team titles mind you, but that it was after Nattie & Tamina won some bullshit gauntlet match the previous night. Like, fuck. Regardless of whom their relatives are (or were), three of those women shouldn't even be EMPLOYED let alone working fucking Wrestlemania. And of course they shit the bed, just like Nattie/Tamina did the night before. Because they're fucking terrible. But can't fit Bayley in a match & need her to sell & bump for Hogan & the Bellas. Sweet.

I can't wait until all corners of the internet will finally put to rest the bullshit narrative that Nattie is even average, let alone good. She has sucked forever. Just like Lita.

Alexa came out to the Pee Wee's playhouse song dressed like a literal child. Giant gimmick Jack-in-the-box that she cranked. Bray came out the box, Abdullah style. Jumped off the box & beat the slop out of Orton for awhile in the red lights. No sold everything. Was going for his finish & then Alexa was on top the box bleeding Papa Shango ooze to distract Bray. He got hit with an RKO and pinned. Lights went out - Bray and Alexa both disappeared.

Can this new Alexa direction get Nikki Cross back on TV?

I don't know if Bray is as tough as Bossman to shoot not sell for the marks but maybe he is.

lmfao

Bray just still gives me fat Rob Zombie vibes. I can't take him seriously at all. Like what happens if he gets shoot hurt? Is he gonna try to no sell it because of the gimmick?

"We're pirates brother, you can't boo pirates, right dude!?"

Goddamn you made me feel old, Sek. Fuckin' Dragonlair trolling Andrew with Tugboat to talking about kids.

I'm all for new people around here. Welcome.

Maybe it's prerecorded?

It's actually genuinely a holy shit match. The whole time I was like "wait, what? ain't no fucking way... how!?" It was awesome. Also: Samoa Joe Poncho

I didn't like the opener or the Divas Turmoil match. Everything else was either good, fun or both. Bad Bunny blew me away. Cesaro/Rollins was super good. Sasha/Bianca was super good. Shane/Braun wasn't great but you got to see Shane die which is what we all expected. It was a good show. Plus we got fucking Samoa Joe in a rain poncho. Ain't nothing topping that. That's an all-time Wrestlemania moment.

Do we seriously as a wrestling message forum not have an official Wrestlemania thread? The biggest wrestling show on earth, a 2-day event, with the first live fans in over a year? No? I don't know if that says more about the state of wrestling or the state of forums.

I like that they don't continue feuds on just for the sake of it because I'm not a big fan of having rematches too often, which is something WWE does way too much. I totally get that they'll blow through matches too quickly this way as well though.

I would keep Leva Bates as a valet & Angelico. I don't think Uno/Grayson are bad, their gimmick is just the shits.

I found out that Velvet Sky has me blocked on Twitter. I don't know if that happened a long time ago or just recently but I stand by my comments that she's terrible on commentary. I would be on board with this. Especially if he was doing The Natural gimmick again. I'm not as down on Nick Aldis as others on PWO but it does feel like between him being the champion, Tim Storm doing commentary & Strictly Business being the main stable & storyline, that right now NWA is all-in on Aldis. More focus on tag team wrestling this week as they're trying to build up a team to face Aron Stevens & whomever that jobber is that is his partner. Kratos? Kronos? Fuck if I remember. I have no idea who that dude is. The opening tag match, between Strictly Business against Parrow/Odinson was fine. Odinson was impressive. Parrow was not. The War Boys from Fury Road gimmick came off as kind of lame to me but I liked Odinson's energy & athleticism although his apron bump was unneeded & stupid. Otherwise forgettable show with not a lot going on.

It worked for ECW in 1999 when there was both WWF & WCW running 12 a year. Would make sense to me. But I don't know if I agree with the $50 price tag. Felt really burned after that last PPV. ECW PPVs were $20. Although of course that was over twenty years ago.

Yeah, it's perplexing. I know @El-P been a fan since Impact days too & has mentioned it before about how they're doing nothing in NXT. Even if you factor in the injury. I just see nothing in Kross.

They should honestly give Scarlett back her red hair & get her away from him now. Same way I feel about Penelope Ford in AEW.
