El-P

Damn, that guy has not one ounce of dignity left !

This is one of the most aggravating and idiotic things about Corporate WWE. Pro-wrestling has always been about getting yourself over so you get pushed because fans are willing to pay to see you. Yet, anyone who does get over on their own has to be buried. Dumb as fuck.

Best thread ever.

Oh, I remember why I voted Stan Hansen #1 in the GWE. This is a war. It totally goes against what pro-wrestling usually looks like and what we're told should be, with the dynamic changes and the epic nearfalls from finishers and shit. This is a fight with two guys trying to hold on until the point they just aren't able to and finally get killed by two brutal gaijins. This looks brutal because it probably was. This is what pro-wrestling should be, with a complete absence of self-awareness. This is pro-wrestling at its absolute best.

Braun vs HHH and what's in spoiler tags maybe. Yikes. McMahon Mania incoming. Color me very much uninterested.

For a mixed match challenge ? Damn. That's hot stuff.

Ok. And who's next ?

Rollins is a Trip guy. I guess.

This. It's never, ever, easy to go to the police in the first place. Add in the social pressure, the shitty working 'da business' environement. Doesn't help. So, no blame on her at all.

Hopefully this doesn't screw the whole podcast stuff... Like, hiring Bruce so he makes a WWEtm podcast on the Network. Please, no. Don't ruin a good thing.

Tough break for the girl. That sucks. Yeah, hopefully they keep her around for a while.

Agreed. Yano is great at what he does.

Paints a terrible picture of Elgin too actually. A friend of mine used to be in that kind of relationship, so yeah, it sucks.

Ok, I'm totally confused now.

The match will probably look like shit mostly because of physical limitations. Taker has looked like shit the last two Manias already, and the matches don't get better because of it.

Wait, I though Elgin kinda covered a sexual assault by another worker in his promotion for months. Now he's the one being directly accused ? I skipped some episodes here I guess (or I never got the story right). About Meltz, I remember during the Schiavone podcast, Conrad reading some old Observer stuff that really didn't paint a nice picture of Meltz as far as talking about women goes (also in the Prichard podcast, a bit about "Terri Runnels looking like a washed up pornstar" in 98, which was like, ugh...).

Lesnar would work (now). ..... ..... ..... Aj & Nak would work.

1990 : Taker worked like he was a corpse. 2017 : Taker looked like a working corpse. Morbid curiosity is right. The Taker match last year was the only time I was remotely impressed by Reigns all year long (he usually bores the fuck out of me) because he managed to work around a guy who looked like he didn't belong in the ring anymore. The post-match was perfect, so of course we have to make it irrelevant by having a dream match at the very least 5 years too late.

Yep. Only in pro wrestling, that kind of mentality. When you set back and think about it for two seconds, most of the pro-wrestling way of doing things (particularly in WWE) are completely insane and make no sense in real life. Plus, she's an "independent contractor" (wink wink nudge nudge) so why should anyone care ? But yeah, the injury really suck for her.

By saying "But I thought it was pretty smart of him to do—to say—that, because it became instantaneously a topic that people were talking about. (...) I take absolutely zero offense in him saying it.", he comes off as a huge crybaby ? Seriously now...

They would be so adorable together as babyfaces. Come on, Rusev wins Rumble. Rusev crushes Brock Lesnar and celebrates with Ravishing Russian Lana at Mania. Let's have something that the audience would actually love, for a change.

Have not taken part in this, but the result thread sure is pretty funny and really well done.

Well, Butterface (that's a tribute to Tim Horner, who was about as charismatic and good looking as Jay White) doing a re-actment of a 20 years old angle in DDP fooling the nWo, except with a Bullet Club that looks like the B-Team at best (I guess Elite is the Wolfpack, the only three who matter) and without being over one bit to begin with, isn't exactly setting the world on fire with me. I still don't see shit in this guy. But hey, Johnny Ace made a good career in Japan, so who knows ?

It would fail miserably, basically.
