El-P

First entire RAW show I watched in eons. Fuck me for doing so. Ok, I admit it, I had to fast forward through tons of shit after a while. So, Vince at past 70 shows more ass than Stephy. It's crazy how in another universe him and Austin are in term of chemistry despite the fact their prime was almost 20 years ago. I don't see what the fuss is about Reigns vs Miz. It was an okay match at best, way patterned and with annoying tropes galore. Ok, so the Manhattan Center show was just fucking with people, right ? Damn, Bischoff has aged. DAMN. Torrie Wilson hasn't. And where in the hell is Lilian Garcia keeping her portrait ? She's 51. Seriously. Those unfunny cameos are so useless. Can't wait until that Jericho vs Naito match. Wow. That worthless Taker segment. Gotta love how the Kane mention got crickets though. The 8 women match was there. Chinlock galore in an 8 WOMEN MATCH. Post match was kinda cool though. That was so awful as a 25th Anniversary show. These people can't write/book worth a shit at this point. TNA 2008 TV looks like prime mid-south compared to this. And yeah, I watched it in English. Ouch. That's just rough.

This thread was dumb since day one anyway. This guy was a piss-poor performer on every level (never bought the "great promo" argument either). Yeah, past tense seems like a better idea.

Going back to the prediction stuff, I just hope it won't suck like last year (yeah it had the great Cena vs Aj match and fuck else, with the Braun section of the Rumble being the only real fun part of the match), because if I stay up all night to watch it with you people, they better book some good shit.

Bro... bullshit... Bro... bullshit... Bro... dumbfuckery.... Bro.... LIES.... Bro.... ego wanking... Bro... For fuck's sake. Who wants to listen to this shit ?

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...
