Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4

Exploited probably isn't the right word, but the religion of workism means that high-earning professionals are expected to derive fulfillment from their jobs and center their lives around them to the exclusion of other pursuits. Modern America might be the only society in history where the elites work longer hours and have less leisure time than the lower classes.

DO NOT get my hopes up like that.

[Rah]

He was promoting Hideki and Thatcher in other tweets so it seems more like a 'book them again Bloodsport' type deal. 

Though I'd love to see Suzuki vs Regal there. 

[NintendoLogic]

Regal has four fused discs in his neck. He's not doing Bloodsport.

[Dale Wolfe]

I thought it was too good to be true. Oh well

I want John Cena playing his Where Is My Mind piano cover for an Orange Cassidy entrance. https://www.cbr.com/peacemaker-piano-scene-inspired-real-life-moment/?utm_source=CBR-FB-P&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_campaign=CBR-FB-P&fbclid=IwAR0sN9mr3iWfFOde7PvcqjLlGyySE79Okofompk1bJwKbaKswXZ-lSe7xeg

I'm digging into 1989 NWA - is the 4/15/89 first show at Center Stage the start of that year's famous booking team? The show all of a sudden has a whole new energy and there seems to be a lot more work being out into making each segment interesting, honestly gives me Cornette vibes from watching a lot of Smoky lately.

I feel like I have seen an unicorn.

Jinsei Shinkazi is maybe the most graceful pro-wrestler ever. Beautiful.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but anyone else feel kind of uncomfortable watching Misawa matches (especially ones later in his career)?

Yeah, and he is pretty much my all time favourite and my choice for GOAT. But I have a really hard time watching his matches now.

Sometimes, yes. In this case, it is  a very safe-looking bump, so there's nothing to really cringe at, thankfully.

John Cena fought Sabu at Vengeance 2006. I did not remember that at all.

Not sure the best place to post this, I’ll try fantasy booking next but didn’t want to start a thread if I didn’t have to. If I wanted access to a game that I could use to book AEW with the least amount of setup what are my options? TEW probably? Anything else?

[tallmike]

Pro Wrestling Sim. It's a far easier system to get into than TEW, and it's on Steam.

I'd give a shout to the latest Promotion Wars (PWremastered.com)

Wrestling card game that will be coming to Kickstarter soon. It has 4 fictional wrestlers and 4 legends. The announced legends are Kurt Angle, The British Bulldog, Randy Savage, and Andre the Giant.

Slated to be $30 on launch day.

So, on May 7th in New Jersey there is going to be an 80's Wrestling Con. All kinds of old names are scheduled to be there, but in a "there's a name you haven't thought of since 1988" moment. Jake Roberts will be signing alongside.... Cheryl Roberts!!

[Dav'oh]

Well, we know where Vince's talent scouts will be on May 7th, then. "Ability to walk unaided preferred but not essential."

Was a fun match too. Sabu had some of his last great moments 2005 - 2006. 

[Blehschmidt]

Has anyone ever figured out who "Lady Love" that accompanied Rick Rude to the ring at Wrestling Dontaku '94 actually was?

 

[sek69]

Welp, I suppose Russian heels are about to become popular in wrestling again.

Man I am not looking forward to the online discourse when that happens. On the other hand, I hope the Soviet Cossacks make a comeback, I miss some roided Zangief-looking bastards.

 

Also, is Cancel Cancel Culture Pro Wrestling the dumbest fucking thing this forsaken business has to offer in 2022? 

[NintendoLogic]

I don't know. I think WWE is the only company that would be willing to go in that direction, and you figure they would have learned their lesson after Lana vaguely alluding to that Malaysian plane that got shot down by a Russian missile got the wrong kind of heat.
