  1. First part for sure. The jokes are really stupid, and only cause unnecessary harm, but yeah. I would argue the scrawny dude shouldn't get grief either. Also, I don't know if that is true.
  2. He's gained 50 pounds and was rehired. Obviously his weight is not an issue for the WWE. What did I saw that was incorrect? Your righteous indignation regarding this issue is well documented...and a little tiresome. Ok... I'm sorry, but if someone is saying something ridiculous I am going to point out it's ridiculous. If it's tiresome to you, just ignore the topic and move on. Obviously you don't want to discuss it, so don't post about it and everybody will move on.
  3. What did I saw that was incorrect?
  4. Either debate what is posted or add to the discussion in some way. A post like this is useless and garbage.
  5. I'm really sorry with my activity. Everything is hectic and I'm trying to do too much at once. Hope to update everything very shortly.
  6. Lol. It's because he's a NXT reject who doesn't fit in a workrate promotion (or whatever ROH tries to be these days) and clearly got booked just because he was an ex WWE guy they could roll out . That your first thought would be "is it because he's fat?" is hilarious. A company that books the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and brings in Okada/Tanahashi fairly regularly. Weird that that audience doesn't give a shit about Bull Dempsey. Not hilarious . Fans of today hate wrestlers because they are overweight . That is a fact. You have to be a great worker to get past being overweight . I don't watch NXT so I have only seen a picture of James , never seen him work .Unless you are Samoa Joe or Steen , ROH fans boo fat guys out of building. Been that way since the Blue Meanie hit TV screens. I'm not sure fans of today do hate overweight wrestlers - I think if there is a big guy who can do some athletic spots then it really gets over with the crowd. I actually think it's the muscled/chiselled look that gets more hate, as a lot of fans seem to have an inbuilt prejudice against guys with that look and that they can't 'work' because they still associate it with Vince McMahon and having looks but no talent. It's sort of a hold over from the 2005-08 period where all WWE callups from OVW were jacked and looked identical, but very few were any good. In fact, if you look at WWE/NXT TV it's far more diverse now in terms of peoples body types etc that it's been in ages. It seems to me that if a guy comes out looking like a Chris Masters today, people instantly seem to think they are going to be terrible. First, what does overweight mean? How do we know what a person's optimal weight is? Second, people deemed "overweight" get shitted on everywhere. Did you see the reaction to Hero's signing? Jokes about wearing full body suits, etc.. Fat shaming is huge everywhere, including in wrestling.
  7. Cmll wants Matt Borne
  8. Grimmas replied to Ricky Jackson's topic in WWE
    No I get that, and it's tough trying to fit everyone onto Mania, but it's about priorities. The top male wrestlers WILL get top singles matches/title matches/showcase matches at Mania. It's when you get down to the midcard or leftover guys where they'll get thrown into a random undercard match or the battle royal to get them on the show. Jobbers will struggle to make it on. But the top female wrestlers WILL get thrown into their random undercard matches to get them on the show. Everyone below them misses out. The women have kind of made it from the absolute bottom of that Midcard/Throw Them On Somewhere tier to the top of it. That's progress I guess. But they're still ways away from cracking the top tier. They flirted with it by having them main event a B PPV and Raw and stuff (and again I'm not complaining about that kind of progress) but when you get to Mania you see where their REAL priorities lie. And at Mania the clock strikes midnight and the women have to go back into their box. We need the time for the real stars. Like, the fact that the women have come so far in the last 12 months kind of makes it worse. During the year they can main event PPVs and TV and have 30 minute title matches and stuff. They've shown that they have the workers and the popularity to do it. But they won't even consider building two separate women's issues for Mania. They won't even consider building to some epic, 30 minute title match like the men get. The best they can do is shoehorn them into the same lone title match spot that they always get. But this time, they'll get 15 minutes to work instead of 3. While that sounds like a "WWE showing its true colors about the women", it's clear that none of the women WWE currently has employed saved for maybe Asuka are capable of handling what is needed for a WM main event match. The top four can't even finish a 10 minute TV match without it falling apart multiple times. And these are women that work with each other pretty much exclusively for the past 2-3 years. Do you really trust Bayley to end the show of shows in front of 100K people? The Divas Revolution worked, the Four Horsewomen are all decent-great workers, but every match any of them are involved in can still go completely off the rails any second regardless of opponent. You can't depend on them not to get completely lost and not know how to get back. Too bad Sasha-Bayley from Brooklyn was the best WWE match from the last decade.
  9. Care to elaborate ? (he's got that assholish reputation forever, but twitter is the pits in term of acting like a dick) I can't post images, because he's blocked me. Trump supporter and all the worst qualities that go with that. We'll leave it there.
  10. ROH signing Hardy's is a brilliant move. Give the creative control and let them do whatever. As for Bubba, fuck him. He's really a horrible person, as he shows on twitter. He's not going to add anything and there is way better talent out there.
  11. http://placetobenation.com/super-apuestas-podcast-golden-magic-vs-pirata-morgan-jr-02-13-17/ Steven Graham and JR Goldberg are back to discuss a current apuestas match. IWRG, in recent history, has had amazing apuestas matches and we talk about the most recent one here. Pirata Morgan Jr. and Golden Magic have a bloody brawl that you can watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw5xTaT_Jjk If you have comments on the show, questions, or a future match you want us to review, leave that on Pro Wrestling Only (www.prowrestlingonly.com) or tweet @StevenGrahamTWS or @wrestlingbubble
  12. Thanks, that means a lot. Next episode, in a week, will focus on Pirata Morga Jr. vs Golden Magic.
  13. Stan actually went on vacation and missed a few episodes. Updates will come after my hectic life gets a little break next week.
  14. That's the biggest gap we've had so far, I'm at 4 3/4. I thought it was the perfect good bye to Hero on the indies and a super dramatic contest with each show casing their own styles.
  15. Like we know Dave is a nice guy, but damn... his words on women and race are just awful.
  16. Really enjoyed the first episode and would like to hear you guys do a show on Pirata Morgan vs El Faraon from 1990 sometime. Thanks and it will be done (if not next episode, the one after).
  17. Thanks for the kind words. I really enjoyed doing this

  20. Some of those teams listed are legit great, or at least good enough. What a bizarre list.
  21. Work trip screwed up my timeline. I'm back now, so will get caught up this week.
  22. By the way, love that. Miz and Maryse have been such a great act.
  23. Plan is for Bray to win to set up Bray-Orton for the title.
  24. There is three women's matches at the ppv. Whats wrong with pronos for women's matches?
  25. I love Fire and Ice so much.
