SmartMark15 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 My favorite reality game show of all time, De Mol, featured a challenge in their 2018 season where two players had to learn to perform three lucha libre moves out of a possible twenty. Their fellow contestants had to memorize those twenty moves and identify which three were utilized in an exhibition match. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 I've heard that characters on Billions made some rather inside references. Showrunner Brian Koppleman is a life-long fan, talks about WWE on his Twitter account and actually was going to create a show about the territories for HBO I think and even talked to Vince in that process.

...TG Posted May 23, 2019 Report Posted May 23, 2019 The Athletic had a long interview with theEduardo Ortega, the Padres' Spanish-language play-by-play announcer. (It's The Athletic, so it's paywalled.) Apparently he's a huge lucha libre fan, and started out calling matches in Tijuana on the radio. He collects masks, and is known for dropping references into his play-by-play. Quote
JRH Posted June 4, 2019 Report Posted June 4, 2019 How could I forget this, in the Simpsons episode The Day the Violence Died, Lionel Hutz's "surprise witnesses" include the McGuire Twins (no lines, it's just a throwaway gag). Granted, this assumes you consider them "wrestlers" in the first case. Quote
El-P Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 Too bad you can't understand, but I swear the GREAT Jean Rochefort just said "Tiger suplex" at one point. My life is complete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XMw0YWUXVE Quote

El-P Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 No idea why I never thought of this. The great lucha-libre scene in OSS 117 Rio ne répond plus. (fantastic movie) Quote
Phil Schneider Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 Apparently Brodus Clay was working as a Fox Nation talk show host and just got axed for sexual harassing his co-anchor https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-nation-star-tyrus-accused-of-sexual-harassment-by-co-host-britt-mchenry Quote
gordi Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 This is pretty f'n cool: https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2475448/dwayne-johnson-had-the-best-reaction-to-getting-his-own-jeopardy-category Quote
Zoo Enthusiast Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 CM Punk cut a promo video for NBC for their pre-race show for the race today at Chicagoland Speedway. Quote
gordi Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 https://variety.com/2019/tv/opinion/vince-mcmahon-wwe-woes-1203273548/ Pretty interesting. Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 Just read that. Fuck, I still can't believe they pulled the ultimate con on USA and Fox Quote
El-P Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 He kinda looks like a dwarf on that pic. I dunno, the giant belt maybe... Quote
Blehschmidt Posted July 24, 2019 Report Posted July 24, 2019 What about the television show Psych referencing Mike Sharpe's cleanliness OCD? That's unusual and obscure. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Posted July 25, 2019 Psych made several wrestling references I believe. I wasn't a big fan of the show but I did watch a little and remember one referencing Kamala's real name. One of the strangest was on Homicide: Life On The Street between Richard Belzer(!) as Munch belittling his partner Ned Beatty's taste in pro wrestling. Quote

Rah Posted August 24, 2019 Report Posted August 24, 2019 So, this is the biggest song to hit my country in a while - I see it's even sparked a (semi)viral worldwide hashtag on Twitter. If you do watch this - from everyone in my country, I'm so sorry. Quote
El-P Posted October 12, 2019 Report Posted October 12, 2019 ^^ Well, I actually kinda like it. Speaking about hip-hop and pro-wrestling and WTF factor, Lil Kim is back in 2019 and this track begins with a sample of Micheal Cole saying "Mark Henry". I Have no idea either. (kinda like that track too) Quote
gordi Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 This is, I guess, more like "something very unusual in a pro wrestling context..." but I had to post this somewhere: Quote
Pterois Posted December 5, 2019 Report Posted December 5, 2019 I apologize if someone here is offended by the video. Quote
SomethingSavage Posted December 30, 2019 Report Posted December 30, 2019 Maybe this has already been mentioned here, but we are currently binge watching the TV show Banshee. And it's glorious, violent wall-to-wall fighting and fucking. It's over the top. It's outrageous. It's that male soap opera stuff through and through. Anyway, we're only into the second season. But we've already seen Lana show up for a guest shot and get coke snorted off them tiddies in a bathroom stall. And we just now finished up an episode that basically had a steel chain match inside a rundown single-wide trailer house. This big Native American bastard literally busts out a Lariatohhh, a belly to belly suplex, and a fucking German sooplay onto a wooden gahdamn table. Fantastic. Highly recommend. Quote
