You have a guy who is known for having a gambling problem jobbing in a promotion where a significant portion of the audience probably was missing a pinky, what's so weird about that?

Luger did a single TNA match (teaming with Jarrett against Sting & AJ Styles in 2003)

I wanted to write Akebono but apparently he did a squash before Mania (against Fast Eddie Vegas of all people) and a houseshow in Japan a couple of months later.

I didn't expect to hear Boney M. tonight.

Who booked this shit? A turn in the middle of the match without any dissension between the partners in the match until that point is bs.

Some of the usual front-row camera-huggers made it across the pond. At least green-shirt Ellsworth guy and Mr. TNT are there.

AFAIR they actually translated that joke 1:1, though obviously it did not make that much sense (without reading the tattoo in English, of course).

Big enough, though as I don't remember that specific scene I assume that during the translation process the joke was changed drastically.

Trying to shoot / stab / ... someone will still get you thrown in jail.

So he will be back just in time for Wembley.

Disregarding why Jungle Boy should get the shot, this is also on paper a bad match-up stylistically.

Canek's mask would also be in that league, I would think. Dos Caras maybe a step below that, I guess? How would Mistico/Caristico rank?

More like "peak Shah shittiness" considering he moved to the US in the late 60ies (I think).

As we Austrians like to say: Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler was German.

I think the closest counterpart to the Holy Roman Empire in pro wrestling was the NWA. Either that or you find a three letter promotion where all three letters are wrong (as the Holy Roman Empire was, as the saying goes (apparently initially by Voltaire), neither holy nor Roman nor an empire).

Or they should stop doing 4 hour shows.

Can someone explain to me what they see in Wardlow? He sucks in the ring, is not that big (at least not very tall) and is average at best on the mic. AA "biting" off Luchasaurus thumb was about as dumb as Rey "losing" his eye a couple of years ago. I could have also done without the TNA special at the end of the tag title match. Two refs getting bumped with gimmick shots without a DQ, a manager trying to physically prevent a ref from entering the ring, people getting thrown out of the arena without leaving etc.

I know a song from Beck that would be a perfect entrance theme for Cody...

Hmm... I thought this was going to be a Dusty finish, but I guess the title change stands.

Trish should tone down the spots she is doing as she can't hit most of them anymore.

There are other guys who are always at the same spot in the first row, for example for a year or so there is a guy with a Trinidad & Tobago flag. I would not be surprised if the front row is pretty much locked with the other people just not being that recognizable.

Gotcha, I am just allergic to all those oil / blood money fueled nouveau-riche clubs and react negatively anytime I read anything positive about them.

How the hell is Manchester City 2023 considered to be an underdog team? I would assume that their budget is multiple of Milan's.

Considering the numbers WCW had even at the very end, no cable network would throw them off the air in 2023.

In which way was HHH behaving risky when he was younger? In the ring he was working very safe, I don't think he was known for partying irresponsibly (no matter the crowd he was hanging around with) and politically he is the second smartest man in wrestling.
