That is going to be one hot card coming up. I am enjoying this Jerry "The King" Lawler story that you have going on. That 6 Man Tag Match is huge and the stakes for the match are even higher. I am very excited to see what happens there.

A solid group of shows. Some very entertaining match ups for sure. I am in the process of catching up to what you have going on, but some solid stuff to see. Interesting to see The Thrillseekers against Midnight Express. That would be a killer match. I am a diehard Shane Douglas fan so seeing him take Condrey to the limit was awesome. Keep up the great work and I will be sure to keep tuning in.

A very solid event in Captial Combat. I always liked that name for a PPV. I enjoy the angles you have going. Everything intertwines and works together perfectly. I am enjoying seeing Owen get some shine in 1990 and the pairing with Bulldog helps make it work. I think something that I am enjoyng that you are doing is calling stuff crap when it would be. Which is pretty much anything that El Gigante would be doing. I am digging that just for the simple fact that the stuff we write won't always be hits and calling a spade a spade is pretty cool to see. Cause even being a talent writer trying to get El Gigante over would be a task that is super hard to believe. I didn't expect to see Robocop but you did it perfectly and I enjoy the figure you made of him. Maybe I should book Robocop to help Bob Armstrong with Ron Fuller but then again with my budget I can't afford that booking so it would be a direct to VHS rip off of Robocop. lol Awesome show like always LowBlow!

Thanks I appreciate it. Yeah I wanted this show to sorta establish a local tv show that is just doing its own thing. I use Google sheets to write cause I can resize images to any size I want and it’s easier to format but when I paste it here it just makes all writing bold and that’s a pain to fix it all before posting here on the board sometimes cause it changes the format a lot but I’ll get it figured out as the time marches on. thanks for accepting me and I’ll do my part the best I can.

Location: Knoxville, TV Studios Time: 6:30 PM Date: 05/12/1990 Gordon Solie: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the debut broadcast of Smokey Mountain Wrestling! I’m Gordon Solie, and tonight we begin a new chapter in professional wrestling, right here in the heart of East Tennessee. And to kick things off, please welcome a man who represents the strength and spirit of this region the SMW Heavyweight Champion, 'Bullet' Bob Armstrong! [Crowd erupts as Bob Armstrong enters, belt over his shoulder, shaking hands with fans and stepping up beside Solie.] Bob Armstrong: "Thank you, Gordon. Folks, it’s a proud day to be standing here as your SMW Heavyweight Champion. But this ain’t a trophy it’s a target. And I’m not about to sit on it and wait. I'm here to defend it against anybody, anytime, anywhere. If you think you’re tough enough, if you think you’ve got what it takes step through them ropes and prove it to me and these fine fans!" [Crowd cheers loudly, stomping the bleachers.] Gordon Solie: "Strong words from a fighting champion… but it looks like someone’s taking notice!" [The crowd turns as a tall, suited figure walks into frame — it’s Ron Fuller, smug and slow-moving, microphone already in hand.] Ron Fuller "Well, well, well… Bullet Bob Armstrong. I’ve watched you run your mouth all over this territory for years. But now that Smoky Mountain Wrestling is open for business, it’s time for men of means to take over You see, Bob, you might hold that title, but I’ve got something you don’t resources. Connections. And tonight, I’ve brought one with me… a man who’s gonna start collecting debts in this company starting with you." [From behind Fuller steps a rugged, scowling figure: Jimmy Jack Funk long hair, bullrope, and a wild look in his eye. He spits on the floor and glares at Armstrong.] Ron Fuller: "Meet Jimmy Jack Funk and he’s here to break your so-called fighting spirit." [The crowd boos as Bob Armstrong takes a step forward, fists clenched, eyes narrowed.] Bob Armstrong: "You wanna come to my backyard and send a lunatic to do your dirty work? Well alright, big man. I’m not hard to find. Jimmy Jack let’s see what you’ve got. Right here, right now!" Gordon Solie: "We’ve got a match, fans! The SMW Heavyweight Champion Bob Armstrong versus Jimmy Jack Funk up next!" __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bob Armstrong vs. Jimmy Jack Funk (with Ron Fuller) SMW Heavyweight Championship The bell rings, and Jimmy Jack Funk charges at Bob Armstrong like a wild bull, swinging the bullrope wildly before discarding it. Bob ducks a clothesline, fires back with stiff jabs, and floors Funk with a big right hand that sends him staggering into the corner. The crowd is fully behind the “Bullet” as he lays in punches to the count of ten on the turnbuckles. Ron Fuller yells instructions from ringside, slamming the mat with his hand, urging Funk to brawl dirty. Funk rakes the eyes and lands a cheap shot, slowing Armstrong’s momentum. He begins pounding away with clubbing forearms, choking Bob across the second rope while the referee counts to four. Funk tries to keep Bob grounded with a chinlock, but Armstrong feeds off the crowd and powers out, elbowing his way to his feet. He hits the ropes shoulder block! Bob hits a second, then a flying clothesline, popping the studio audience to their feet. Bob calls for the finish. Funk staggers up Armstrong ducks a swing, and THE SMOKY JAWBREAKER! 1… 2… 3! Winner: Bob Armstrong As the bell rings and Bob gets his hand raised, Ron Fuller suddenly slides into the ring, clutching that Bull Rope and before Bob can react CRACK! Fuller lays Armstrong out from behind with the bell part of the rope to the back of the head! The crowd erupts in boos as Fuller stands over the fallen champion, red-faced and smug. Ron Fuller: "You think this is over, Armstrong? This was just a taste! Next week, I’m bringing someone meaner… someone nastier! You think you’re a fighting champion? You better be ready to fight for your life!" [Fade to commercial as Bob Armstrong writhes in pain and officials rush to the ring.] ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bad Crew #1 & #2 vs. Local Jobbers The bell rings, and immediately Bad Crew #1 & #2 charge at their opponents, two local jobbers. The crowd boos as Bad Crew #1 and Bad Crew #2 dominate from the start, showing no mercy. Bad Crew #1 takes the lead, whipping one of the jobbers into the corner and following up with a brutal running clothesline. The impact echoes through the arena as the jobber crumples to the mat. Bad Crew #2 enters the ring and lifts the other jobber into a vicious backbreaker, causing the crowd to jeer even more. The jobbers are clearly outmatched. Bad Crew continues their attack with ruthless precision, alternating between double-team maneuvers and quick tags to maintain the assault. Bad Crew #1 hits a huge suplex on one jobber while Bad Crew #2 throws the other out of the ring, following him outside to deliver a savage clothesline. The jobbers have no chance to mount any offense. Bad Crew #2 slides back into the ring, grabs the jobber by the throat, and lifts him into a massive chokeslam. The crowd boos even louder as Bad Crew #1 quickly tags back in and the duo sets up for their finisher. They deliver a double-team powerbomb to one of the jobbers, leaving him motionless on the mat. Bad Crew #1 covers the pinned jobber for the three-count, while Bad Crew #2 stands guard, glaring at the other jobber who’s still struggling to get back to his feet. The referee calls for the bell, and the match is over. Bad Crew #1 & #2 stand tall in the ring, arms raised in dominance, while the crowd reacts with boos. The two jobbers slowly roll out of the ring, clearly outmatched and humiliated. Winners: The Bad Crew Bad Crew continues to taunt the crowd, soaking in the negative reaction as they leave the ring, having sent a message of absolute dominance. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The lights in the arena dim as the camera cuts to a backstage area where Gordon Solie stands, microphone in hand. He looks into the camera with a serious expression. Gordon Solie: "Fans of Smoky Mountain Wrestling, we are about to witness a very important moment in the history of this promotion. As we’ve seen in recent weeks, Smoky Mountain Wrestling has been gaining momentum, and it is with great pride that we now bring to you the man responsible for its creation and future direction." (He pauses for a moment, his tone becoming more authoritative) "Please join me in welcoming the owner, promoter, and booker of Smoky Mountain Wrestling, the man who will lead this promotion into the next chapter, the legendary Ole Anderson." The camera cuts to a shot of Ole Anderson, dressed in a sharp suit, stepping out from behind the curtain and walking towards the podium. The crowd’s reaction is a mixture of curiosity and applause as Ole enters the ring. He nods at the crowd before taking the microphone from Gordon Solie. Ole Anderson: "Thank you, Gordon. First off, let me make one thing clear: Smoky Mountain Wrestling is here to stay. We’re not some fly-by-night operation. We’ve got the talent, we’ve got the vision, and most importantly, we’ve got the passion to bring you the very best wrestling this region has ever seen." (Ole pauses for a moment, allowing the crowd to react.) Ole Anderson "Some of you might be wondering why I’m the man in charge here. Well, I’ve been in this business for a long time, and I’ve seen all the highs, the lows, the politics, the real fighting that happens inside and outside the ring. I’m here because I know what this business needs. What Smoky Mountain Wrestling needs is a promoter who’s willing to take risks, who’s not afraid to put on a product that’ll make you stand up and pay attention." (The crowd responds with cheers and applause.) Ole Anderson "Now, I know there are a lot of big names in this promotion. But let me tell you something, it's not about any one person. It’s about what we can do together. We’re going to put on matches that you’ll remember, build rivalries that’ll keep you coming back, and showcase the true heart of professional wrestling right here in the Smoky Mountains." (He adjusts the microphone, his tone becoming more intense.) Ole Anderson "We’ve got a lot of work to do, but trust me when I say, this is only the beginning. So sit back, enjoy the ride, and don’t blink, because we’re just getting started." (He drops the mic, nodding at Gordon Solie, and exits the ring with the crowd continuing to cheer. Solie watches him leave before addressing the audience.) Gordon Solie: "Well, there you have it, folks. Ole Anderson, the man behind Smoky Mountain Wrestling. It looks like we are in for an exciting, unpredictable future in the Smoky Mountains, and I, for one, can’t wait to see what’s next." The camera cuts to a commercial break —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Champion vs. Mike Davis Chris Champion makes his way to the ring, strutting with confidence as the crowd reacts. He’s followed by Mike Davis, who enters to a more modest reception. The bell rings, and both men lock up in the center of the ring. Champion immediately takes control, backing Davis into the corner and delivering a clean break before taunting the crowd. Davis, not backing down, charges at Champion and connects with a series of right hands, but Champion quickly counters with a knee to the midsection. Champion throws Davis into the ropes and hits a big back elbow, sending Davis crashing to the mat. Champion follows up with a knee drop and goes for the early pin, but Davis kicks out at two. Champion continues his assault, slowing the pace and working over Davis with methodical strikes and a chin lock. Davis manages to fight back with a series of elbows and a dropkick that sends Champion to the outside. Davis attempts a dive over the top rope, but Champion moves just in time, sending Davis crashing to the floor. Champion taunts the crowd again before tossing Davis back into the ring. Back inside, Champion hits a Russian leg sweep into a bridge for another two-count. Frustrated, Champion picks Davis up and delivers a superkick to the chin, knocking Davis to the canvas. He covers Davis and gets the three-count. Winner: Chris Champion —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Champion steps off the apron after his win, catching his breath as he heads toward the interview podium. As he approaches, Doug Gilbert is already nearby with Gordon Solie, leaning casually with a cocky grin. Doug Gilbert: "Well, that was... something. If I had a nickel for every soft win like that, I’d have my name on the building by now." Champion hears the remark and turns immediately, stepping toward Gilbert. Chris Champion: "You talking about me?" Doug Gilbert: "You’re the only one who just squeaked by out there. I’ve seen more fire from a wet matchstick." Chris Champion: "You got a lot to say standing behind a microphone. Why don’t you step in the ring and show us all how it's done?" Doug Gilbert: "Oh, don’t worry—I’ll be out there next week. And since you’re so interested, why don’t you pull up a seat next to Solie and watch how a real professional gets it done." Chris Champion: "You bet I will. And if you stumble for a second, I’ll be right there to remind everyone who the real star is." The two stare each other down as Gordon Solie calmly moves them apart. Gordon Solie: "Well, it seems tempers are flaring here in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. We'll see what happens next week when Doug Gilbert steps into the ring. It looks like Chris Champion will be keeping a close eye." —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Akio Sato vs. JT Smith Akio Sato enters the ring with a calm, focused demeanor, offering a respectful bow before turning ice cold as JT Smith makes his entrance, hyping up the crowd with his energy. The bell rings, and the two men circle before locking up. Sato immediately takes Smith down with a quick armdrag and smirks, showing his technical precision. Smith responds with a dropkick and a hip toss, getting the crowd behind him. Sato bails to the outside, slowing the pace, before reentering with a more aggressive approach. He catches Smith with a hard chop, then snaps him over with a suplex and follows with a knee across the throat. Smith fires back with a flying headscissors and a roll-up for a close two-count. As Smith goes for a springboard move, Sato ducks and the referee gets slightly bumped in the confusion. Sato seizes the moment to pull a small pouch of powder from his tights and throws it into Smith’s eyes. Blinded, Smith stumbles right into a SPINNING WHEEL KICK! Sato quickly hooks the leg for the pin as the referee recovers and counts the three. Winner: Akio Sato Sato bows again after the match, grinning slyly as the crowd boos. Smith is left coughing and wiping at his eyes, furious about what just happen. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The camera cuts to a dimly lit corner of the SMW studio backstage area. A red-tinted spotlight barely lights the scene. Gordon Solie stands stiffly, microphone in hand. Next to him is a haunting presence: The Vampire Warrior face painted pale, eyes dark, and fangs bared in a silent grin. Gordon Solie: "Ladies and gentlemen, joining me now is a man who has sent quite a chill through the SMW locker room the Vampire Warrior. You've just arrived in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. What should fans expect from you?" The Vampire Warrior leans in slowly, staring through Solie with unsettling intensity before speaking in a cold, low rasp. Vampire Warrior: "Fear... fear is the first thing they'll feel when the lights go out. Then comes the pain. In this world of fighters and heroes... I'm the shadow that follows them. I'm not here to win their belts... I'm here to drink their souls." Solie raises an eyebrow, clearly unsettled. Gordon Solie: "That’s a rather ominous message. Is there anyone in particular you’re targeting in SMW?" Vampire Warrior: "Anyone with a pulse. Anyone who thinks they’re safe when the bell rings. I don't care if it's Bob Armstrong, Doug Gilbert, or anyone else waving a banner for East Tennessee. I'll be waiting... in the dark." He lets out a chilling, hollow laugh before walking off into the shadows as the camera slowly fades to black. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main Event: The Colossal Kongs with Adnan Al Kassie vs. The Batten Twins (Bart & Brad Batten) The Batten Twins enter to a strong reaction from the East Tennessee crowd, slapping hands and rallying support. Moments later, the entire atmosphere shifts as the massive Colossal Kongs—Awesome Kong and Krusher Kong lumber down the small aisle, flanked by the ominous presence of their handler Adnan Al Kassie, their sheer size dwarfing everyone in the studio. The bell rings, and Bart Batten starts off with Krusher Kong. Bart uses his speed to duck a big clothesline and delivers several quick forearms. Krusher stumbles, but it’s not enough to topple the giant. Bart hits the ropes only to be flattened by a huge body block from Krusher. Brad tags in and tries a flying axe handle from the top, but is caught mid-air and slammed hard to the mat. The Kongs proceed to take turns demolishing both Batten brothers, using crushing corner avalanches, massive elbow drops, and punishing double-team moves. After several minutes of relentless punishment, the Kongs deliver their finishing sequence: Krusher hits a powerslam on Bart, and Awesome Kong follows with a massive splash. 1-2-3. Winners: The Colossal Kongs After the bell, the destruction continues. The Kongs toss Brad through the ropes and hit Bart with another devastating splash. Studio personnel rush in, but the Kong's roar and swing wildly, clearing the ring. The Batten Twins are left laid out as medics check on them, and the Kongs stand tall dominant and unchallenged. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the Colossal Kongs exit the studio arena, triumphant and snarling, the feed suddenly cuts to a shaky handheld camera shot backstage. Panic is unfolding. We see referees and backstage crew rushing down a hallway. A camera follows then captures the mayhem. Timothy Well and Steven Dunn are being brutally assaulted, and tossed into equipment crates, stomped and clubbed with steel chairs by two massive, identical men in black jeans and combat boots. Don and Ron Harris, grim and expressionless, are methodically dismantling the popular tag team. One twin hoists Doll and powerbombs him onto a stack of wooden pallets. The other slams King against a cinderblock wall and drags him across the floor. Gordon Solie’s voice crackles in from the studio. Gordon Solie: "Ladies and gentlemen, we’re witnessing a savage, unprovoked attack here in the SMW locker room—those men are twins, and from the look of it… they’ve come with a message!" Suddenly, Ole Anderson storms into the scene, pushing past staff and security, his voice booming. Ole Anderson: "Hey! Break it up! You wanna make a name, boys? You don’t jump contracts in the hallway like a couple of punks you do it in the ring! But you made your bed now!" Don Harris sneers, brushing off an official. Ron squares up, but Ole doesn’t back down. Ole Anderson: "You want a fight in Smoky Mountain Wrestling? Next week, you’ll be in that ring. And I don’t care who signs the paycheck you lay your hands on my crew again backstage, and you’ll wish you hadn’t signed at all!" The Harris Brothers back off slowly, smirking coldly as medics rush in to check on Doll and King, both groaning and clutching ribs and limbs. As Ole Anderson stands over the wreckage backstage, fuming with authority, Paul Ellering steps into frame, dressed sharply in a dark trench coat and tinted glasses, his expression unreadable until it curls into a knowing, mocking grin. Paul Ellering: "Well, well... Ole Anderson barking orders like it’s still 1985. You’re still trying to hold this house together with duct tape and tough talk." Ole glares, clearly not in the mood. Ole Anderson: "You got something to say, say it." Paul Ellering: "Oh, I’ve got plenty to say. But it looks like the Harris Brothers already did the talking for me, didn’t they?" Ellering glances toward the damage, the battered Well Dunn being checked on by medical staff. Paul Ellering: "You think Smoky Mountain Wrestling is yours to control? You’re looking at a new chapter, old man. Chaos isn’t coming. It’s already here." He gives a parting smirk and walks off calmly down the hall. Ole watches him go, eyes narrowed, fists clenched. The tension hangs thick as the camera zooms in on Ole’s scowl before fading to black. OOC: I do all my writing on google sheets. It seems this site isn't so nice about copying and pasting from Google Sheets to here. Oh well, I will format the show better next week but that is a taste of SMW debut!

Smoky Mountain Wrestling Headquarters: Knoxville, Tennessee Promotor/Owner/Booker: Ole Anderson Commentary: "The Golden Voice" Gordon Solie Smoky Mountain Heavyweight Champion: "Bullet" Bob Armstrong Smoky Mountain Tag Team Champions: Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steven Dunn) Smoky Mountain Television Champion: *Vacant* OOC: Hey everyone, I’ll be running this independent promotion for the next four months as I build out a full roster. Depending on how things go, I may either continue this story or launch a brand new promotion it just depends on how the cards fall. I’m fully aware that any of the wrestlers I’m using could be signed elsewhere at any time, and that’s totally fine. That’s just the nature of the indie scene, and I’ll adjust accordingly just like a real promotion would. This first post is mostly housekeeping to help me stay organized with what I have in motion. My first show will go up tonight, and I’m really excited to join everyone on this journey. Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out!

This whole topic should be about wrestling. If you want to be a martyr so bad why don’t you go into target and protest them. Tell all the workers to quit their jobs. Why don’t you actually make change within the world instead of preaching at me on a wrestling message board. I don’t know you man. You just want everyone to think and believe like you. How is you preaching on here going to make anyone want to communicate with you. I’m open to discussion but this is bullying and bashing others. I am not even MAGA or support, I worked within community to help the Harris campaign. What exactly did you do? Just sit online and bitch and whine. I hate to tell you this but I’m not the only that feels this way. Why do you think participation is down on this site. Cause idiots like you want to preach to everyone that your ideas and morals are above everyone else’s. That everyone should automatically assume if you like WWE you are a racist, sexist and January 6ther. Just read the posts here and realize that you are the problem. maybe take your own advice and grow some thicker skin my guy. What you are doing is no better than MAGA. Go instill actual change instead of begging others like CM Punk and wrestlers to do it for you.

I know you are trolling but you want thousands of innocent people to die who had nothing to do with this? I just wanted to point this out as going to a major extreme that is just stupid and needless. Where are the mods and admins to warn about posts like this?

Can we now go back to talking about wrestling only. This whole political discussion is annoying AF and just turning people off from wanting to post here cause they are afraid they will be bashed and called names for enjoying the product that brought us all here.

I totally called Elite Deathriders. I wish I didn’t but it was pretty obvious that was way the way it was going. As for the rest of the show. Just meh. Nothing important happen and just a show that was there. The 8 man tag for 400,000 dollars was just random. It was a solid match but just seemed they booked to kill time. 2025 and using the phrase dookie all over the floor is something for sure. We all know Kenny is the worst on the microphone but at least he tries I guess.

Somehow people will still complain about it but all three are worthy and glad to see it happen.

Cause it sounds like something AEW would do. Especially with Double or Nothing coming up and Anarchy in the Arena match.

That’s a great question. I honestly don’t think she has or at least if she wasn’t it wasn’t anything memorable. I enjoyed the back and forth but it also brings an issue to why face to face promos are a sorta stupid thing logically. In real life if you are face to face to someone and you just keep taking shots at each other it will blow up and won’t just end with people walking away for the most part. Tiffany actually looked good and the crowd ate it up. Flair went to weird mode and when she made fun of her voice that’s when I was checked out. My biggest peeve of the whole is thing is I view Flair in the same boat as The Bucks both are talented performers but what do you do with them exactly. The matches are all the same, the promos aren’t different. So what’s their value. You can’t let them go cause the other side will hire them. It’s just they tread water and make fat checks and accomplish nothing. Nobody gets over and they just waste space. I was enjoying the division without Flair but her name will give her a job for life, hall of fame induction and treated like the greatest ever. I will say that ending segment with Punk/Seth/Roman/Heyman was amazing though and deserves to be talked about. That match didn’t have me sold till that segment. I actually love they told the story from 12 years ago with Heyman saying he would accompany Punk when he main events WM. To see long term storytelling on a WWE show is wild. Punk cashed in his favor and having Roman get pissed about it when Heyman basically refuses to tell Punk that’s not happening to having Seth just laugh in the background. That was really well executed and done. Kudos to whoever is writing that story cause they nailed it.

They why book it? if the object is to get talent over but then decide to feed that talent to two guys that everyone knows isn’t losing for a while. Why do that match. We know Cage got hurt and made them have to shift but they could have chosen at least someone else. I think something needs to be asked who in the tag division has even been built up enough to beat the Hurt Business or whatever they call themselves now. Say what you want but this tag division is in shambles compared to previous years. yeah that’s what I was getting at. They didn’t just leave they ran away and said why they were leaving. So to just randomly show back up and cost Swerve the title and give Moxley the win is absolutely stupid logic. WWE gets flak for writing teams but it looks like TK needs some help cause his stories are dogshit. We don’t think The Bucks join the Deathriders in some hybrid Elite Deathrider thing do we? God, that would be the worst ever.

lo fuckin l TK is going to be TK. That’s for sure. I can’t wait to see people try and bend to make this any sense. Cause even storyline wise it makes none. The way the bucks left made absolutely no sense they would return and help Mox or have any reason to screw Swerve people online are saying it’s setting up swerve and hangman vs bucks but who wants that match? We’ve already seen bucks vs hangman and Kenny and no way anything can top that match involving the three. Am I like missing something with Mox? Why is he treated like an unbeatable machine and an Ace for? His work has nosedived off a cliff from when he first joined the company. Everyone in the death riders angle hasn’t improved any of their stock Another PPV ruined due to a shitty ending in my own opinion

Yeah I have noticed the same issue and it's pretty annoying honestly. It's kinda why I quit visiting here as much as I used to.

That’s wild but I will say WWE 2k25 knocked it out the park this year. I guess that’s also cause I went in with extremely low expectations but I absolutely love it. I haven’t touched myrise yet but I plan on it but I love that the stories aren’t just weird made up ones that were strange like Edge and Candice Michelle having magical powers. To get back on topic. I watched the old PPVs and boy was it HORRIBLE idea to let Cody never challenge for the AEW Title I know it’s cause he put the stipulation on himself, but it Might just be one of the all time fumbles. Also rewatching. I can’t believe the company invested time and resources into Jake Hager. lol The announce team has always been bad in AEW. Ross never wanted to be there. He just didn’t like being told to retire. TS has and always will be horrible, Excalibur is annoying AF and Taz is just there. Nigel is by far the best though and I enjoyed Kevin Kelly and I love Ian. Ian and Nigel should be the main pBp guys and throw in Caprice who is good as well.

I just wish that a steel cage match would actually be respected as such. Meaning it’s dumb as hell to have someone just randomly bring in bolt cutters and come into the match for no reason whatsoever. Nobody wants to see Mark Davis get involved. It did nothing to the story and to make it worse. He decided to blade as well. Which was absolutely pointless. That was my main issue to many people bled and for no reason. Someone made a comment about WWE turning into Starrcade 85. So what do you call this? It’s obvious the producers for the matches don’t go over things to make sure things are being saved to be special. I thought that the woman’s match was good but it didn’t need that much blood or really any blood for that matter. Call me whatever you want but I felt uncomfortable watching women bleed in a wrestling match. I was not a fan of that and it ruined the whole experience for me and the glass on the gloves made it really uncomfortable for me and I just went back to playing 2K25 and quit watching. I know I’m not the market for that match but I don’t really know who is honestly. I guess it’s for the sickos. The main event was about as piss poor booking as you could get. Why they decided to fuck over the Christian angle and make that contract be pointless is very stupid. I read Fightful said that the decision was made a week going into the PPV. Which just means TK never had direction for it and was just throwing shit at a wall and hoping it stuck. So congrats TK you managed to make all three men look like goobers. That was a good PPV though. I also found it funny they signed The Costco Guys to a contract when they are about to use up their 15 minutes of fame. I say a solid 7/10.

Or any AEW PPV

I’m very glad that I didn’t attend that show. I was going to go with my wife but we decided to pass due to the weather. I’m very glad that I did pass on going. Very rough episode tonight. Nothing got my attention. Everything was meh. Blame it on travel or whatever but it was just bad to average episode. I didn’t care for the big brawl to start the show. It went way too long. I’m sure it did due to travel messing up the show but it just dragged. Hurt Syndicate winning the belts already is certainly a choice. Private Party just isn’t over they need a new gimmick or something cause it just isn’t working and I’m sure Matt Hardy will be upset about them losing already. The hurt syndicate is just meh. 🫤

I think it’s a younger generation thing. Cause my son and his friends all are teenagers and they love the “yeet” stuff. I don’t get it but hey good for Jey for getting it over. As for being a top act. I think Jey is the perfect midcarder. He can hold the IC or US Title but I can’t see him ever being a world champion for longer than being a transitional champion. I don’t care what anyone says though. I absolutely LOVED CM Punk saying he would kill Hulkamania. That was by far my favorite line I’ve heard this year. Call it cheap heat, cheap pop. I don’t give a fuck. Absolutely great!

It’s amazing how many people are saying that wasn’t a nazi salute and we all saw it wrong. The worst argument i saw was when someone said he is autistic. My daughter is autistic and I never had to worry about her doing nazi salutes. So somehow I don’t think that’s the reason. Us Americans can’t say shit about any other country and what promotion is running where. Hell, Elon would probably want a wrestling match on fucking Mars, and our dumbass president would be right there rooting it on like the puppet he is.

Exactly. lol If he stays away it’s for the best cause the Jags are horrible she getting trashed very badly

I’m in the town where Kane is mayor and political beliefs aside. He actually is a good mayor. He helps the community and is involved. I haven’t had any bad interactions with him and neither have others that I know that have had dealings with him. You can be on separate sides of the aisle and not be a douche. Another thing about Kane that I’ve noticed especially living here. Every wrestler always speaks about how intelligent he is and how great of a worker he is, could it really be out of the realm of possibility that he is just working my town. I mean this state and town I’m from is a red state. It’s republican through and through a democrat hasn’t won here since the 70s and won’t win here anytime soon. Maybe not even in my lifetime. I’ve had this theory and I stand by it that I think Kane saw this and knows this and just works everyone by being a republican. He knows it’s going to win and set him up for his life after wrestling. He still has a fan base especially around where he and I both live. So he doesn’t have to worry about being hated here. It’s possible that he is just working everyone or maybe he is a Republican but that isn’t a shock to me especially living here where if you believe in anything else you are an outsider and treated different. So who honestly knows we don’t know these people personally so who honestly knows what they believe or how they feel. I’m not shocked about Taker getting cheers and Hogan getting boos. It’s deeper than just a love for Trump and being MAGA. Hogan got a ton of heat rightfully so about his racist remarks. Taker for what’s been said is still seen as a good person and not a racist which goes a long way for people. Also Hogan has been called out many times for lying and just can’t stay out of his own way much like Flair. It’s to the point now that I don’t think people really care about either of them. If Hogan was smart he would have come out as Hollywood Hogan and just cut a heel promo about taking over with Trump. That would have been the biggest and best heel promo of all time.
