Give me 10 minutes before the shenanigans start and I won't complain too much. Thatcher/Oney should be dope as well. Both have delivered almost every time out here and I see no reason a hot, fast paced match shouldn't happen tonight as well.

Wednesday night wrestling has generally become Thursday/Friday afternoon programming during COVID, but I'll be tuning in tonight for Sasha/Io. Hopefully they're given time without handcuffs to deliver something special.

Many of us are terrible, awful people who take their cues from terrible, awful people. Its really a lot of fun here.

Anyone else check this out since the question was posed a few years back?

When's the last time Low Ki wasn't living on his rep and Hitman gear? I suppose this is one way to get his name out there, but would bet against it working out as he might hope for.

Did anyone ever find out who these guys were?

Have to think they're pretty significant at this point. He's undoubtedly in close quarters with the agents who've tested positive so his exposure is high and counting on some good fortune to come his way.

Not a trend I'm familiar with in this unfortunate story or in many other cases where accusations are leveled against an individual. I wasn't sure what may have made JC different.

Why does one have to assume this?

Where are these stories? All I've seen today has been tied to some of the names above in the UK scene.

Better late than never. Hopefully the groundwork laid elsewhere in society forces the industry to take these things more seriously.

Last night and the PPV started giving me WCW feels about the current state of the company. Perhaps that's way off base or perhaps it should've occurred to me earlier, but between the tag title nonsense both nights, main event segments built around multiple performers who can't/won't/shouldn't work and all of the bad comedy/skits its almost as if they're actively trying to run off the audience.

Amen! The fact this thread is at 25 pages because someone has a hate porn podcast about wrestling is just incredible to me. Kudos to him for finding his niche. It works in sports, news and all other aspects of pop culture so why not wrestling? Its just not for me.

From everything I've read/heard he stopped being a fan of professional wrestling quite a long time ago. He may have his fans but I'd contend their interest in him has nothing to do with wrestling. He's undoubtedly relevant to them. But that's the extent of his relevance.

Doesn't touch Charlotte/Ripley for me, but I wouldn't argue with someone who viewed it that way.

Cosign. Not even troubled by the production. That may change when it affects every match on every card, but as a one off, much like AJ/Taker, I'm in.

I'm sure they have no idea, but in theory this is a straight wrestling match. Which presumably means limited dastardliness.

Blood!

Edge looks incredibly spry early on here. Impressive to see him show up in this kind of shape and apparently with a chip on his shoulder after the Mania debacle.

Okay those intros were terrific. Edge looks much better and younger with a shave.

Montez Ford singing cracked me up. New Japan returns tomorrow!

The man experienced his greatest professional success and arguable peak over 30 years ago. He hasn't been remotely relevant in 25. And he's somehow become an apparently professional troll. Amazing.

I've enjoyed her tremendously in the role. Never imagined she'd be such a natural heel but between her antics and the way she carries herself to her mic work she's made herself the absolute alpha heel in the Sasha partnership for the eventual split. One of the few bright spots of empty arena WWE.

I have no idea how their presentation of empty arena shows will compare to what we've seen from other companies, but after nearly 4 months off I'm beyond stoked to see them back in action. Hopefully the Osaka shows are home runs and they're able to continue with limited capacity outings.

My gut says Bryan but I wouldn't want to close the door on Tanahashi prematurely. I haven't seen as much of him from the first decade as I have of Bryan, but its possible he's got more than enough there to make a case.
