Really?! I think it's way too early for Britt to lose her title

Bryan has been hyping the show by giving us important lessons in plant biology

I am beyond excited for this one. I have been watching the Bryan Danielson ROH title run in preparation for this, and this is someone I am increasingly sure is the greatest of all time (last match watched was Danielson-Styles from RoH is the best possible modern day version of a 70s NWA world title match, absolutely adore it) going against someone who many others consider the greatest of all time. This is going to bang so hard. And it's not like the rest of the card is filler.

Dark and Elevation have had some good stuff recently. Last week's Daniel Garcia v. Lee Moriarty was great. Swole v. Allie from this week was rough though. Allie is really popular on Twitter and there were many calls for TK to sign her, but after watching this, I am not sure why. Her bumping is bad, she moves in an uncoordinated way. She has a great presence and would be a great manager, but I don't see her as a good addition to the women's roster. They need some good hands and vets to help the young talent get over and get good.

Danielson says he has a notebook where he has written down everything Vince has ever taught him. He has a tremendous amount of respect for Vince, and I am sure the feeling is mutual. Vince wouldn't have worked so hard to retain Bryan if he didn't also have a world of respect for him.

It seems like someone fed Meltzer shit info, and he immediately bought it without bothering to verify the report cuz he is inclined /wants to believe that people would walk out after that segment. If 1500 people had left, we would have for sure heard about it from more people than Dave

Wasn't he the very first black guy to hold a recognized world title? As you said, if Lee came with the idea himself, that's cool.

For what it's worth, this was in Flair's own book, as a ringing endorsement to how he was The Man

He posted it again, but with the part specifying who told him not to post deleted:

The Thread Killer Talks Too Much: The Recaps
MoS replied to The Thread Killer's topic in Pro Wrestling
Austin and Taker couldn't have been talking about the October show when referring to the plane ride from hell, since Austin wasn't in the company at that time. They spoke about it in the context of Taker having taken some meds for the ear injury Austin had given him on the show, going to sleep on the plane, waking up to Angle and Vince wrestling, and then choking out Angle. That would indicate Vince was in fact on the plane on THE plane ride from hell. Meltzer did say he spoke with several people who were on the plane and he got conflicting testimonies right now, but in real time he had been told that Vince wasn't on the plane. -
Their official account then blocked him for tweeting that. It's teenage behaviour.

The Thread Killer Talks Too Much: The Recaps
MoS replied to The Thread Killer's topic in Pro Wrestling
This is interesting because on WOR Meltzer said he spoke to several people on the flight and he thinks they are conflating their memories of three separate transatlantic flights where shit like this happened. He said that in the context of whether Vince was on this flight or not. When he reported on this originally in 2002, he said Vince was not on it. He said he spoke to a lot of people after the episode and they were not sure and he got conflicting reports, so he would trust what he reported 20 years ago. JR's account seems to contradict Meltzer. Also another thing that contradicts Meltzer is the Austin-Taker podcast where they spke of the plane ride from hell, and they mentioned Vince was there and Angle was wrestling with him. How many such transatlantic flights would have been there for the talent to take in 2002? Did WWE tour Europe thrice in 2002? -
Well there are a lot of fans who haven't watched the RF shoots. That's several generations ago. I got online as a kid in the mid-00s and they were some of the first things I saw cuz they were probably at their peak relevance wise, so to speak. But it's been years since they were a thing. Shoot interviews became completely obsolete when wrestlers started doing podcasts. There are several younger fans who probably didn't check out anything wrestling related online until a decade after. Plus, publicly airing those views back then or even 5 years ago is one thing. Now, after the Speaking Out Movement happened in several mediums, including wrestling, while being a sitting office person in one of the major wrestling promotions? I don't see how it's not something where he deserves to eat shit.

Expecting someone to not flat out justify sexual assault is being a woke feminist these days apparently. Like the guy literally said if it was that big a deal she wouldn't have settled, but condemning that is just being on our moral high horse. The outrage about his comments is as much about how much pro wrestling and pro wrestlers have enabled this behaviour as it is about the guy himself. The fact that a beloved wrestler, popular in all locker rooms, thought it was okay to publicly say all of this because it's no different from what he has heard so many of his peers say about situations like this over the years is the point. The fact that it was commonplace in wrestling to have misogynistic angles and anyone from that generation justifying sexual assault wouldn't feel out of place because they almost certainly participated in such angles is the point. The fact that Tommy Dreamer still has shown no growth or evolution in his thought process because wrestling is still behind the times is the point. Blame Wokism all you wish; the outrage is perfectly valid and justified.

I hope Miro brags about having sex in that car like he had sex in that Russian tank. Really enjoyed this episode. Rampage has quickly established itself in feel and formatting as a different show to Dynamite, but imo with distinct but equally appealing features. It's a breeze to sit through and the main event first formula is different and in a way reminds me of some SNMEs.

WWE TV 09/13 - 09/19 NXT 2.0 debut and Monday Night Football massacre
MoS replied to KawadaSmile's topic in WWE
Sean Ross Sapp said he has a 3-part story coming out next week about the USA/WWE/FOX relationship next week, something he has been working on for three months apparently, so wouldn't be surprised if there's some connection here. -
The fact that Linda was on the plane and he still felt comfortable enough to do shit like this is revealing. A lot of younger fans who haven't listened to the old shoot interviews and read the stories are absolutely finding out for the first time just what the "party culture" and "being on the road with the boys" really meant. I saw clips of the old Brutus Beefcake RF interview doing the rounds too where he joked and laughed about Shawn and Jannetty drugging women on the road, sexually assaulting them, and then throwing their unconscious bodies out of their hotel rooms. It's not just the stories, as discussed, it's the way they were always told. Thankfully, that culture seems to be changing, although there is a long way to go.

Lol cuz that ended up happening like 5 mins after you said it so perhaps working together we can somehow fantasy book AEW (I am aware it's a taped show, I am joking)
