WWE TV 06/05 - 06/11 Gilberto Gil is the GOAT
Seth Rollins weird gimmick worked better as a heel. I know the fans started cheering for him and singing the song. They should have just changed the song.

It was funny seeing Booker T tell fans to watch him live on A&E on Sunday when Most Wanted Treasures is a pre-taped reality show.

Is Impact* the best wrestling promotion in history? *(Now TNA again, 2024)
If anyone in Canada watches Impact on Game TV (as I do because I don't subscribe to AXS or FIGHT) they changed the day they show it from Saturday to Thursday. It makes more sense because they would be advertising events on Friday's that had already happened, and Thursday is the actual day Impact is supposed to be shown on. However, they have also moved the time to 11:30 PM Eastern so I still probably won't be watching it until the weekend anyway on my PVR.

AEW TV 05/24 - 05/26 There is a show tonight I guess
For some reason when Cole announced that someone who lives right here in Las Vegas was going to come out I thought it would have been funny if Mike Tenay had come out.

So no CM Punk for Chicago AEW Collision?

R.I.P. Superstar Billy Graham
I've always found it weird how they seem so proud of the Travis Heckle artwork when it just looks like something made in MS Paint to me.

WWE TV 05/22 - 05/29 Both Dakota and Liv are hurt
I feel like maybe WWE is slowly realizing, "oh wait Stacks is probably going to have a better career than Tony D'Angelo."

WWE TV 5/15-5/21 It was a good week to be a Riverhounds fan
I don't know if it was supposed to be funny but I laughed out loud during the Tony D'Angelo skirt on NXT. Like, are the purposely trying to put as many mafia movie stereotypes in one sketch as possible?

I am wondering if they will shift momentum to Cody vs Rollins at Summerslam for the new title even though they are both faces now.

WWE TV 5/1-5-7 Stand back, there's a draft coming through
Any chance one of the Colon family shows up in PR this weekend?

WWE TV 4/24-4/30 Cody's into scars now
I like the Judgement Day much better as a tag team or as a trio's then as singles competitors. I love seeing them sell after the hot tag and during the finish sequence. Just flailing limbs everywhere. Are Pretty Deadly now just Pretty Dead? Isnt that throwing in the river thing how they wrote off Stacks old tag team partner?

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4
They should make a wrestling board game expansion to Monopoly where you run around the board buying up TV time slots and main event wrestlers' contracts and try to put the territories out of business.

Comic books and Manga Thread
I had to Google Age of Bronze because I had not heard of it. I was hoping it was a comic tribute to the superhero comics of the 1970s as that is my favorite era of comics

All Elite Wrestling
I dont think using floppy MOVEZ is a problem as long as wrestlers limit themselves to flippy MOVEZ that are used in legitimate combat sports or that could conceivably work in a shoot fight. Also part of the problem is that after performing a flippy MOVE they move too quickly to the next flippy MOVE before it has time to register with the audience. If after performing the flippy MOVE the wrestlers laid around in the ring selling for a while, maybe saying "OW" loudly or grabbing a hold like a bear hug or a good iron claw or something before moving to the next flippy MOVE it could slow down the action better. This would give the fans a chance to sit down and rest for a while or head out for a bathroom break or a smoke or something while the TV announcers can talk about upcoming TBS programming.

WrestleMania 39
I believe Roman suggested to HHH that they do the Rocky III story and Cody said he had never heard of Rocky III. And Hogan said he was going to come back in the Thunderlips role.

WrestleMania 39
"Roman must pose," I guess.

Is the empire crumbling before our eyes?
They should have gone full Rocky 3 and have William Regal be Burgess Meredith and they could say he died of a heart attack in the back when they released him. Also, who would be Thunder Lips in this scenario?

WWE TV 03/20 - 03/26 Adrenaline in my soul, no more Bray Wyatt at the show
I usually do too, but I liked the bit with him in the truck messing with Logan Paul's Mic. I think he works better as kind of a prankster/trickster character than as a whiny heel. It's pretty obvious though since that Wrestlemania commercial that he's just ripping off the Joaquin Phoenix Joker.

WWE TV 03/13 - 03/19 BIG NEWS
Hahahaha WOW I hope he comes back as a regular wrestler and they drop the supernatural stuff.

AEW TV - 2/22 - 2/24 - America, fuck yeah
I like Evil Uno as a wrestler better that as the mouthpiece for an evil cult or as the leader of a comedy stable that does backstage comedy skits.

The Iron Claw
Maybe David Manning wants to play David Manning? Didn't he sometimes try to outshine the wrestlers or get too involved with the matches in World Class? Maybe he sees himself as the Texas wrestling version of Audie Murphy?

WWE TV 02/13 - 02/19 Pat Mahomes just pulled a Perc Angle
Oh no. Something in the pit of my stomach says they are going to have a 3 way at Mania, aren't they. This feels like Danielson in the run up to XXX or Mick Foley in the TV build up in 2000.

AEW TV 1/18-1/20
Quoted to highlight your choice of words as I imagine that we all know who is probably encouraging MJF to keep up the cheap heel heat edginess.

Jay Briscoe passes away in car accident. Age 38
Anybody know what the weather was like and the road conditions? It is winter time. If the road was slippery it may have caused the other vehicle to lose control.
