MoS

They gave Santana 2 minutes to make an impact and by God he did just that

I popped for the nod to the NWO-masked Stinger segment!

Miro is so over like it's 2004 ROH and he is motherfucking Samoa Joe

Yeah I was thrown off too. I was certain she was going to powerbomb him through a table for interrupting her again

Thank God they played the promo again from the start, that was amazing. Both of them rock. Gigantic pop for Orange killing the other two. Live crowds have been missed

Hangman looked badass with the crimson mask. Maybe he asked Janela to bust him on purpose. Did they just cut to a commercial right in the middle of a Mox/King promo?

As someone who will be there live, I dunno whether that will happen, given that Stadium Stampede will just be played on the big screen

This shit sucks

Is it me or did Cody basically get no reaction?

Today made me feel that Darby has taken his place, and that they should call an audible and have Darby instead of Hangman dethrone Omega

Of course JR hates hot boy summer

Pre-pandemic hard cam position too. The world is returning..(?)

This man is truly a DVDVR/PWO shitposter

I wonder if Vince will allow a non-McMahon to succeed him when he passes away. I don't just mean being in charge of the business side, but actually succeed him in all capacities

Literally the first thing Vince did after establishing WWF as a national promotion in the 80s was to end that partnership

I think there is no chance that we will see a full-blown working arrangement between NJPW and WWE. Vince has never operated like that, and New Japan would have to be really dumb to not realise it. I agree with people who are saying this is a way to keep Daniel Bryan happy, allow him to work some NJ dates. I also think this news was purposefully leaked to Meltzer, maybe because someone is trying to play both sides and increase the money they are being offered in the process. Apparently, these talks started in March/April, but we have seen New Japan wrestlers in AEW as recently as last week, so the "exclusive" part certainly has not happened yet

Bischoff is back to...host the Inner Circle? I am so over Jericho's dumb comedy, but hopefully Sammy and Santana get some time to shine. This feud has made MJF feel so much cooler than Jericho in my eyes

*Alexa Bliss gets black goo to come out of Randy Orton's mouth* Riche Benaud: Oh dear. That does not look very pleasant at all.

Anecdotally on Twitter, I have seen a lot of "younger"/modern fans who frequently list him as among their favourites. You also have wrestlers like Dax and so many others frequently pay tribute to him. His interviews and general cool gives-no-fucks old dude personality certainly help.

I do think 2026 will be kinder to Bret than 2016 was. His stock seems to have improved in general - the terrible Shawn-agented NXT main events have played a role there, fairly or not - and anecdotally, I see more and more prominent wrestling voices rank Bret ahead of someone like Flair (sorry..I don't want that thread to re-start either), something I barely noticed 5 years ago

Yeah, Flair in 1995 was not at his best in the ring, but he was doing his best character work since probably his face run against Funk. That Savage feud is super underrated. It has some excellent matches and IIRC, it was the feud that actually turned WCW's business around, before the nWo formed and took it to the next level

I'll just do the snarky British chants, at least they are funny and Agogo is cool. If I get trapped in the moment and am caught chanting "This is awesome" at any point on camera, I request @Loss to ban me for a couple weeks, force me to think about my choices

I can sing ""Where is my mind" Right now trying to figure out exactly how to show my contempt when Cody tries to get a USA chant going
