I've been sitting on this for ages, waiting to get time to write up another post in my lucha thread. Probably never gonna happen, so this seems like a good enough place to dump this. Black Terry in 1989~~

He donated on the 7th of February 2022. So he definitely knew Drake was QAnon. He also had to have known Drake was running as it's all over his online presence. I'm not calling this bs but there's a really small window of opportunity that gives a possible explanation for this happening and I don't think Biff can fit through that. These are all visible here (Necro Butcher can be added to the 2000s cesspool comment). https://dos.elections.myflorida.com/cgi-bin/contrib.exe

100% He's already on the website under coaches. I was gushing in the GWE Discord about this already but you've got Dustin Rhodes and William Regal to learn from now. Nevermind the still active talent. That's quite a thing! This is his neck

Forgive my ignorance, and this is a legitimate question, but why is Drew facing Fandango and some Sgt Slaughter cosplay guy? He headlined last year.

"WWE star" Cain Velasquez is currently in jail without bond in connection with a shooting. Non-life threatening but some reports say it is being seen as an attempted murder. https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2022/03/ufc-cain-velasquez-involved-in-shooting-san-jose-police

Why do I get the feeling Rock costs Reigns his, uh, reign and this sets up (a likely not happening) main event next year?

I wish someone would take him aside and just walk him through putting together a match. He's young, and he'll only get better, but he's often led astray by those he's in the match with. That's why I'd say his peak is En Busca de Idolo 2014 where he was in the ring with better workers who could work around him (vs Hechicero, 4/8 + 6/20 and the trios 5/23). That said, I thought he was clearly the least naturally skilled of the four "rookies" and of the 2014/2015 intake only Blue Panther Jr was worse. He's seemingly had far more success than any of the others, so what do I know? The hair match vs Felino (2021) got some MotY praise, so I'd check that out if you're still looking for some pieces to complete the puzzle. I don't think that's going to sway your opinions much, but I seem to be out to lunch with modern lucha.

Well, he kinda has been:

Jerry Lawler v. Tommy Rich 10/2/88 Is the match in question.

Yeah, that debut was flat. The audience know who Keith Lee is so they'll excuse this but imagine coming in cold and thinking this is the "hyped" signing. Everyone is wrestling like they're in mud today, it seems.

Two people debuting tonight? Keith and Joe?

He was promoting Hideki and Thatcher in other tweets so it seems more like a 'book them again Bloodsport' type deal. Though I'd love to see Suzuki vs Regal there.

He's also a Sandy Hoook denier. All this seems to have gotten steam because of Ronda Rousey. Since her return people have been bringing up her horrible comments and so when Kendrick got announced someone put together a list of his 'crimes' under the guise of the internet being apparent hypocrites. Seems that thread took off and reached others.

This devolved into Joey apparently DM'ing MSL "threats" (read: "you're in Orlando, watch your back") and MSL responding by screenshotting and tagging TK and TBS with the hopes of Janela getting canned. I'm getting vibes MSL is more than just a petty douchebag. Also, if Court is styling and profiling while paying $300 per 10-hour production run which span over weeks upon weeks of "TV time" (on the high end contracts) that's really lame.

Anyone know the story between Janela and MLW/MLW's COO? This isn't a good look for MSL. EDIT Seems the thread starts here:

There is also a fancam of this match that I believe I still have (September 1983): CIEN CARAS, MÁSCARA AÑO 2000 Y CÉSAR CURIEL VS. COLOSO COLOSETTI, ENFERMERO JR. (JAQUE MATE) Y MS-1 But I'm not sure it's going to sway any votes.

Fully agree with that point, @sek69(sorry don't know how to quote on mobile). It read to me as someone going 'those folks love themselves some Friends and Game of Thrones, let's mash some names together!'

I think a lot of the Günther controversy is overblown and right now a victim of search engine optimization. It feels like someone saw that name and went looking for a scoop. When it got traction, Google sees 'wrestling fans' are interested in 'Wehrmacht officers' and feeds that site posted above at the top of your feed. For instance, on a fresh browser I get links to a few Günther Starks related to theatre and film before I even get mention of the Günther in question. My mom's family is German, and we have a strong German community in one of our provinces. Stark and Günther are not the most common names but you'll find them relatively easily (fair play, I haven't seen it together before). Besides, a certain (old time) poster of this board has a far more egregiously linked name to Nazism than Günther Stark. Sometimes a name is just a name.

Mustafa Ali just requested his release. According to SRS he hasn't been on paternity leave. Reading between the lines, WWE has kept him on ice for some reason. I guess he got sick of waiting?

He converted to Islam as a teenager and I guess that either stuck with him after he turned atheist (unsure of the date he denounced religion so perhaps he still was at that time) or he already had a hatred for alcohol because he lost friends to alcohol and drug abuse. There was a podcast a few years ago where he said alcohol was a 'scourge'.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the conspiracy back in 2014 that Corey got the commentating/panelist job because the situation surrounding that last concussion was a little sketchy. Like, they gave him the job as a hush-money type deal? I can fully expect this being a Vince panic move to have their own Punk since AEW lapped the original up.

He has bigger fish to fry (and this is only feeding his narrative) https://www.votedrake.com/

I don't want to be a Debbie Downer or anything but going through the Brazos trios stuff is difficult to do whenever Porky is involved. I don't think he straddles the line between serious and comedic well and often times will bring the flow of a match down to a screeching halt so he can shoe horn in one of his recycled spots. There was a match I watched recently where he blew the spot and just reset everyone so he could do it again. That isn't the sign of a good worker. I find him incredibly fun in small bursts, usually in his latter career, but I don't see an argument for him here.
