Tbf Seth Rollins reminds me of a shitty pirate anyway why not give him an eye patch too

I now have an image of Roman returning as a modern day Mr Hughes and I am all for it

Who is Brandon Stroud? That one is so fucked up

Im surprised he never took on an ill-advised MMA run really

Has that tweet knocking about saying 30+ WWE positives been verified yet?

Shes deleted her account now, that's how crazy a take it was.

Ah you may be right then - the July section of the listing does seem really short. Sorry to get your hopes up! It would still be cool to eventually own these regardless

Decaying empire ran by a borderline senile old man trapped in his own mind surrounded by sycophants?

To be honest its a couple of years since i considered it- it was probably someone UK based shilling on facebook at the time, but this is the set http://wrestlingepicenter.com/cart/product_info.php?products_id=864 No idea on reliability of the site but im sure it was meant to be a pretty exhaustive 2nd half of the year. Got me thinking about this again now

Theres a 7 disc set of Continental from 88 that I have never pulled the trigger on but i assumed it was on that?

Well, this thread took a revelatory turn.

Is Raw still 3 hours? I still look at it intermittently or if these threads say there's a good match but haven't watched it live/in full since 2019 probably. There's no way a 3 hour program with no crowd is attracting anything other than the truly die hard. Seems funny that the way to invigorate shows is yet another ageing relic though. The problem might not even just be vince at this point, it could the succession of old bastard after old bastard running the show. (Hell i am an old boy now too but still...) Needs some fresh blood, ideas, execution.

First time I've watched this match in maybe 10 years. Amazing how much it stands up. I had forgotten how ruthless Jumbo's style seems at times- though he isn't, of course, his mannerisms give light to a bit of recklessness almost. I think my favourite spell is Jumbo's dominance early on, then the couple of mistakes that give Misawa the one up. Modern wrestling really is the shits when you look at it against this gear.

Im surprised the cynicism of the WWE office isnt calling up and pushing all the charismatic black men they can find to take the stink off Linda's Trump connections. Or perhaps they fear their dwindling fanbase is more inclined to side with the police rather than blm/protestors. Probably need to subscribe to wo for a couple of months to find out what's going on i guess.

A similar documentary on flair would probably be the greatest thing they ever did but if they couldn't get arn involved then its kind of pointless. Strange really. Im surprised at just how good this undertaker one is.

Ultimately the booking and personalities are what makes and breaks a promotion, though. For all the talk about younger stars and a territory system (both great ideas that they would be fools not to implement), its the people running the promotion that are out of touch. The booking/writing/production are so poor half the time it doesn't matter who they put in front of the camera. Without real change they are doomed because the product is so shit.

I always thought it was a great match. That score is way too low. The two out of three falls match?

Great show god bless Herb The industry would be in far better shape if mad bastards like that were still involved Maybe not financially but i would certainly enjoy it a lot more

Cain was a great fighter and bags of charisma if you let him talk. Another wasted opportunity, oh well

This is an accident waiting to happen

Watched it again possibly even funnier than i thought

Im sorry im sorry This made me laugh so much for fucks sake.

Wow i am amazed at that. What capacity venues are we talking about?

You can pay for tests quite easily if you're willing to spend the money, I'm sure

Really hope they're privately testing everyone at every show, every single time they put together a show, or none of this should be happening at all. The close proximity of workers, staff etc is absurd. This was a decent show but I'm really struggling to see the sense in carrying on at the moment. Maybe this is self-isolation talking, who knows. Its difficult for AEW i guess, but with WWE's back catalogue i think they should really be thinking of producing a very different sort of show at the moment. Sorry to derail, im going off on a tangent here.
