"That makes one of us" what? Omega's genius is clearly too much for me to comprehend

lol but isn't that actually easier to pull off? At least with good camerawork and editing

I mean, the obvious solution is to not take a bump down the stairs

DARBY WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU

lol at Ethan Page getting an EVOLVE burn in

I thought the Cody-QT match went too long. This is a one-match show though, so none of that matter "big black bat"?????

wtf is Matt wearing? I think it was @strobogo who said he iacts like he is doing a shitty network television parody of pro wrestling heels. It's so putrid to watch. And thankfully, this is not Twitter so I won't have a bunch of idiots going "OMG HE EEZ WORKING YOU!!"

Goddamn it JR, literally no one in the world cares if it is a tag team match or a tornado tag. No one cares. Get over yourself you ugly fossil

The two rings setup looks super-cool

It is his decision and I fully expect him to re-sign, but I don't understand this idea that he can only make huge money for his family in WWE. This is not 2011 anymore. There are other promotions making money. Not even close to as much as WWE makes, but if Daniel fucking Bryan is on the market, you can bet your ass that these promoters will find a way to throw as much money at him as he wants

lol wut? How? Just cuz both of them have a paunch?

Speaking of old territory wrestling, I read somewhere that the Von Erichs were extremely popular in Boston in the 1980s and a lot of fans from that era have fond memories of them. How did that happen? Dallas is a long long way from Boston. Did World Class air in that market?

So fucking excited for this one

I believe deliberately acting racist for personal gain is as morally reprehensible as being actually racist

This reminds me of one of Meltzer's all time great snarky moments, when, in response to a reader's question, he wrote a sarcastic tongue-in-cheek kayfabe account of the familial history of Kane and Undertaker

Agreed. Chennai are my favourite team cuz I am from the same area of India that MS Dhoni is. Not to stray too far from Pro Wrestling Only, but it was disgusting to see the bad faith, cruel, dishonest movement to defame him for the choice of sponsors in the IPL

Maybe we should stop supporting Eva Marie for her so-called character work and "working the crowd", unless by "working the crowd" we mean "allow the crowd to be terrified that the hot MAGA girl might just get pushed" (of course by that logic and standard, every flop character in wrestling history was also just 'working the crowd') and by character work, we simply mean "I am an asshole who looks good, please notice me!!"

The Indian Premier League is postponed. I am mentioning this cuz I have talked about the success of the legends' shows, which gave me so much of the research material I needed. If India is postponing the Indian Premier League, it means the reported statistics are 90% de-reported. This basically means 3 MILLION daily cases and 30,000 deaths every YEAR due to this. EDIT: Please disregard the rest of the message. I was scared shitless last night about what was going to happen in my country and as a result was talking complete nonsense, with zero logic

The fact that she was terrible whenever she did wrestle might have something to do with it. Plenty of green as goose shit wrestlers who show more talent and balance/co-ordination in their first month of training. We have seen a ton of people debut in the last few years and become good. Her problem wasn't that she was new; it was that she wasn't good

But hey, she should be right at home amidst this terrible botchfest!

God, Eva Marie sucks and always has. A bunch of fans acting like looking pretty and doing a catwalk on the ramp somehow constitutes "character work", which is one of the most baffling takes I have ever seen. Jillian Hall was better than Eva Marie

The idea of a nervous Steve Austin twirling the blade in his fingers and practicing in front of a mirror how to cut himself cuz he had never bladed before is as preposterous as it is hilarious. As if it was Dustin blading Austin in 1991 or whatever. I love Bret but he is not nearly as honest as his biggest fans think he is. He engages in plenty of working and bullshitting himself.

Bret definitely said in his autobiography that Austin was nervous about blading because he had never bladed before. He also talked about the no-blading policy in effect at that time, but he definitely claimed that Austin had never bladed before, that Austin himself told him that. I always thought that was just another exaggerated version of the famous "X came to me with tears in his eyes, shook my hand, thanked me and told me I am the best" stories that Bret had in his book throughout, since we have seen Austin blade in WCW

This made me laugh

Thank you, that's an excellent post and I get what you are saying. Also, the fact that he tried starting a folk music career might have bumped him up a couple of spots on my list
