C.S.

How do you cancel tickets you've already bought and paid for that are non-refundable? Wacky celebs...

Because Bryan was damaged long before The Fiend. Once the hottest act in the world, WWE sure did everything they could to cool him down as much as possible. He's still more over than his position on the card would dictate, but he's definitely no longer the hot hand he should be.

I really liked the Evolution episode. As "obvious" as Randy Orton and Batista seem in retrospect, it's not so easy when you're in the thick of things and trying to make that decision. For a bit of fun, I wracked my brain trying to come up with who would be in a rebooted version of Evolution should such a thing ever occur, and it was hard. I ultimately came up with two possible versions: Seth Rollins (HHH) - I know, I know, but he really would be the best fit for the H role Triple H (Flair) Keith Lee (Batista) Angel Garza (Randy Orton) Or: Seth Rollins (HHH) Triple H (Flair) EC3 (Batista) Bobby Roode (Randy Orton) This is an alternate universe, obviously, where those guys get pushed and Bobby Roode isn't quite so long in the tooth age-wise.

C'mon, this is absurd. Haha, not a gimmick... But I do understand why people dislike him - I just don't agree.

Is there any particular reason Mauro would need to make a Coronavirus reference? This week's show isn't set in China, is it? The Mauro hate on this board is truly mind-boggling and it gets old. Now people are actively shitting on him for things he hasn't done.

Not filing paperwork correctly should never be grounds for a suspension. In Paige's case, that bureaucratic bullshit only fucked her up further and sent her down a deeper rabbit hole with the coke-fueled Del Rio.

Is there a lamer bunch of geeks anywhere than The OC?

After a decade of trying to find the next great Mexican star after Rey and Eddy, with Alberto being close but no cigar, WWE may finally have it with Angel Garza...if - IF - they don't screw it up.

Imagine the mental gymnastics Shawn Michaels must have undergone to justify that sacrilegious crap.

What are Vince's views on religion?

The Instagram post I linked in the other thread about Trump groping Eve Torres has disappeared (or at least it's no longer showing up for me). Did she take it down? Test: Post is still up, but Instagram embeds are either broken on this board now or I can't see them for some reason. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8sfLTPlsB9/

Wrestling Inc. Exclusive: JBL Reportedly Set To Be Inducted Into WWE Hall Of Fame

I had Val as a Facebook friend (this was back when I found it novel to add wrestlers for no good reason), and he was totally loony tunes. I eventually had to unfriend him.

Don't know where else to put this... A catch-all Scummy Behavior in Wrestling thread might not be a bad idea.

Adam Cole does nothing for me, but he and his silly "Bay Bay" catchphrase have gotten over everywhere he's gone, so there's something to be said for that. Ditto for Finn Balor. I may not be their biggest fans, but I'd still push them.

I've watched both episodes of Ruthless Aggression. It seems...fine. But yeah, definitely some weird revisionist history bullshit going on, as others have already pointed out. Episode 1: Portraying the WWE name change as a brilliant creative decision instead of what it actually was...yeah, no. Episode 2: Was Cena really hated by everyone in the locker room and no one wanted to work with him? I've never heard that. I also really doubt he was every truly on a cut list. Vince/Stephanie can't be that stupid? Surely they saw that he brought more to the table than, say, Mark Jindrak. Brian Gerwertz looks looks like he's ready to cry at any moment. I realize he was an important part of the puzzle, but he's not exactly charismatic or camera-ready. Still, it's nice to see someone they haven't used a million times before. Bruce Pritchard always seems like he's full of BS, even when he's being honest.

Any idea who Nick Aldis is referring to here? Triple H? Cena? Someone else?

Means nothing. Even hardcore wrestling fans on this board apparently don't remember Matt's role as Edge's bitch in some random stable or alliance 10+ years ago. This is a huge step up. It's weekly TV time in the hottest angle on Raw. Matt was never married to Lita, BTW.

How are WWE cameramen, the video trucks in the back, whoever is responsible, always able to get those perfect fan reaction shots? Even AEW hasn't really been able to master this art.

Imagine if they used Matt Hardy properly like this for his entire run. I assume he has re-signed and now getting the temporary Gallows/Anderson push before being sent back into irrelevance, but who knows...

Shelton Benjamin re-signed. I'll never understood these people WWE does nothing with wanting to stay there and continue sitting in catering. I guess Shelton just wants to make his money at this point, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

What a terrible and nonsensical turn... But it's not like any aspect of the Ciampa-Gargano relationship has made sense in a while.

Roderick Strong has so little ring presence and charisma that I honestly thought he was a fan at first. (I actually like him, but he comes across as more of a science teacher than a wrestler.)

Because on the 50th anniversary of Howard Cosell's famous call during Frasier vs. Ellis - "Down Goes Ellis! Down Goes Ellis! He is beaten!" - Mauro has scored a knockout punch of his own with his amazing commentary at NXT TakeOver: Portland.
