TheDuke

I am now imagining an 80s tag team where the names of the wrestlers are just "Dav'oh #1" and "Dav'oh #2"

You know, you would think Rock would want to steer clear of WWE and lie low while all this stuff come out against Vince as it could cause a ripple effect over the company or over wrestling in general.

Nobody I know says "Did you see that new Dwayne Johnson movie?" Even people who have never seen a wrestling match call him The Rock.

Vince Russo.

My PVR didn't record Impact again this week. I realized afterwards they changed the name of the program in the schedule again, this time from TNA Wrestling to TNA iMPACT.

Oh maybe Papa John. Road Dogg was never an executive, was he? I wonder how much he knew.

I wonder how many times Vince pooped on Johnny Ace's head...

I liked Alister Black the best when he was teaming with Ricochet, but then I love buddy cop movies and odd couple tag teams like Orton and Riddle.

Every time I tune into NXT the last few months it feels like they are in the middle of a tournament. That Chase U video package made me wonder, what happened to the guy with the long blonde hair and bandana who was in Chase U?

This Noah series of reviews are awesome. My middle aged eyes keep wanting to read the title as "NOAH you may have Misawa" LOL

Yeah that's not the wrestling bubble. That's our culture at large that has those kinds of opinions

Its sick remembering that Vince was a character in some of those "WWE meets Scooby-Doo/Hanna-Barberra characters" cartoons that were made for kids. Like do you think Vince would have been sending some of those text messages in between recording lines from the studio?

I am suddenly imagining hearing reports about Mauro getting into backstage fights with CM Punk.

Does that mean they're gonna put up all the old JCP, Mid-South, and World Class episodes on Netflix?

I feel dumb. I thought they were still doing clip shows for the holidays. My DVR was set to record IMPACT! Which of course doesn't exist in my cable providers listings anymore, and I realized I had to set it up again to record TNA now. Oops.

Great article! Its funny that nobody from Young Rock made the list since Rock's production company made that. Also sad that Zeus from No Holds Barred did make the although it's a bad movie I haven't seen in 30 years, my inner seven year old still remembers how Zeus was one of the first guys I saw when I first saw pro wrestling.

You must watch Women Of Wrestling every week and post in depth match reviews.

I really enjoyed the 80s show they had a couple weeks ago with all the 80s style gimmicks. Instead of the Million Dollar Man they had the 369000 Dollar Man for example.

Is that the guy wearing the tie? I'm really hoping he wrestles wearing the tie.

Just a reminder for other Canadians like myself who don't pay extra for TSN+, AEW is in Canada this week so Rampage and Collision are on TV. And I guess Danielson is having a tournament match on each show this week so Rampage will be worth checking out.

I'm hoping Dave Karger runs in with a steel chair... And then turns on Mankiewicz and becomes the lead host of TCM. Edit: Actually I'm hoping Robert Osborne comes out and reveals that he faked his death as just a wrestling storyline. "It was me, Mankiewicz! It was me all along!" There's your long term booking.

I feel it was kind of a waste to just throw Creeds vs DIY and Creeds vs New Day as parts of a gauntlet match when they could have been feature matches on Raw. I am hoping that DIY turns heel though and then heel DIY vs Creeds would probably make a better match anyway. It just seems weird to throw those away like that.

It sounds like maybe WWE was only willing to pay for Mania (like Austin a couple years ago) and Rock wanted multiple PLE pay days.

Are we making predictions in this thread? I have to think you don't put Swerve in this tournament to lose, and as a heel nobody should be screwing him over, so he's got to win the whole thing right? I imagine it is to try to elevate him so that some time in the new year he's ready to move up to the main event.

I felt like I had heard that "make money, not friends" line before. A quick Google search shows it comes from a story Scott Hall told about what Jay Strongbow said " in this business you can make money or you can make friends."
