A New Era for the Wrestling Thread

[Lobo]

Good interview with Liv. Shows why I'm a fan of hers. And why I'm rooting for her to succeed.

The bits I’ve heard from Kanyon’s book are heartbreaking

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I finally watched Bryan vs. Kenny. I love professional wrestling.

 

[Dr. Evil]

NXT UK main event from yesterday was fun

AEW has really made me remember why I'm a professional wrestling fan in the first place.

I still find I don't like a lot of on their shows. But what I like, I really like.

Man, this "Dark Side of the Ring" focusing on Kanyon is a tough watch. WWE doesn't look too good in THIS one either.

They really gave the Undertaker a pass in that episode. He literally beat the stuffing out of Kanyon in that SmackDown segment.

Heard he gave him sh** backstage too when he found out he was gay.

It's the WWE. Do they ever look good in these?

All true.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The Elite have this strange dynamic, where Cole clearly the obvious candidate for leadership. He has the look, is sold gold on the mic, and just comes off so effortlessly cool. He makes all the others look like his henchmen.

There's a lot of **** to sift through when it comes to AEW but when they get it right they seem to really get it right.

Still not a huge fan of the company but I now regret not going to the Arthur Ashe show on Wednesday. I was thinking of going to the UBS show in "Long Island" but Google has no idea how the hell to get there from my home through public transpo.

Although it shouldn't be that hard now that I've actually looked at it. Oh hey look RAW's gonna be there. Can't wait to skip that.

 

[Karelia]

Undertaker always gave brutal chair shots... with almost everyone back in the day. He would take them too. I feel some people drawing conclusions on him, with not really any evidence. But what's new about that lol.. What John Cena said made him sound even more corporate than I thought he was, just being Vince's mouth piece.

Sad story about Kanyon. I never knew any of it.

Taker is a known terrible person. This isn't really a debate. He ran wrestler's court, and physically abused many wrestlers when he wasn't happy with them in the ring. He admitted to it with Maven, when he accidentally got drunk before a Rumble match.

Hmm, idk. Can you provide a source?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Wrestler's court? The Maven story? They aren't hidden. He has talked about it, openly. Much like the plane ride from hell, these *******s from the past think this stuff was just good ole "boys being boys".



Except now we know about all the abuse involved, including sexual assault, crapping in people's person effects, etc.

CM Punk used one of @Kane52630 's gifs in a tweet:



I'm sure this isn't the first time something like this has happened to Kane, but I just felt like sharing.

 

[Kane52630]

You're right it isn't (Val Kilmer used one of my Batman Forever gifs) but still...

Bray Wyatt (now going by Windham Rotunda) is rumored to be making his debut in AEW at Rochester as the new leader of The Dark Order.

His 90-day non-compete clause wouldn't be up yet.

I was really surprised they pretty much glossed over the Taker stuff. I’ve heard the stories of him getting super angry when he found out Kanyon was gay, but they barely even mentioned Undertaker here!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Finished up Smackdown this morning. The Becky/Bianca and Sonya/Naomi segments were great. Wish they grave the women's actual matches that much time to shine. Honestly think Smackdown could be three hours, and would actually be better. Unlike Raw.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Becky and Bianca. Wow, what a match. And then Sasha's return. Bianca has come so far this year. She looks like a legit main eventer. A lot of that is the work Sasha and Becky have done with her. But much more of that is her. She's gotten so much better.

Extreme Rules has been really good.

 

[NDX]

Oh ****, there's a payperview tonight? I still haven't seen the one match I sorta wanna see from the last one.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The end of the main event annoyed the **** out of me, but the match itself was pretty great. Loved Roman masking up for the trip into the crowd and the crowd's love of the table had me rolling.
