Dewar Posted July 8, 2019 Report Posted July 8, 2019 Anytime someone questions the ability of Mike Mizanin, just remind them how over he got Sandow as his stunt double. Absolute miracle worker.
sek69 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Posted July 10, 2019 Sometimes I forget that there's an entire generation of wrestling fans who only know WWE as the only game in town and forget the grimy shit Vince (and every other promoter if we're being honest) would do to fuck over the competition. Then I see people get Very Mad Online at Dave for saying "of course WWE is doing the Evolve thing to counter program AEW", as if even the suggestion would sully Vince's character. Then I also saw a few of those people get their minds blown when Dave broke it to them that two of the Big Four WWF shows were invented just to mess with JCP's PPV money. To paraphrase my man Mark Henry, when it comes to how Vince deals with competition THATS WHAT HE DO.
C.S. Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 A Twitter feud for the ages... Shane Helms and comedian Ron Funches throw down about the history of racism in wrestling. Click on the tweet for more in the thread.
Coffey Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 So a white guy from North Carolina is arguing with a black guy about racism in pro-wrestling? ...not touching that one.

Their Youtube views and social media engagement is worse than any indy of any prominence. Sweating this one makes Meltzer seem like an even a bigger AEW supporter.
sek69 Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 He's not "sweating" anything, he's just pointing out that using the Evolve show as counter programming to a competitor's shows is basic Vince McMahon 101 behavior. If anything, it was Kenny Omega who came off looking sweaty by complaining on Twitter about WWE running against their charity show. You wanted to come at the king, don't be surprised when he goes to his old reliable bag of tricks.

Yep. And a really petty move considering this is a charity event for victims of gun violence... Anyway, this is gonna be that way with the Network.
...TG Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 Now we're expecting *Vince McMahon* not to be petty?
clintthecrippler Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 I dont know if anyone would risk potentially burning the bridge, but it would be fucking hilarious if one of the non-contracted talent on the Evolve show used that to shout at the camera and announce that they have signed to AEW.
Al Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 Has anyone seen a show from Northeast Wrestling? They appear to run indy shows in the area, particularly at minor league ballparks. They're running at PNC Field here August 18th, advertising Jon Moxley, Dustin Rhodes, Funaki, Renee Young, Enzo and Cass (ugh), Jerry Lawler, Darby Allin, Rhyno, Teddy Long. Seems interesting enough, they've come around before but I don't know what kind of reputation they have overall.

Been going for quite a while. Pretty much a super indy. Their whole library is up on HighSpots.

NEW has quietly drawn some of the biggest American indy attendance numbers of the last decade. They have done some big shows and had some really great matches. Hardys/Young Bucks from 2014 is probably my favorite tag match of the decade. Lawler is a regular but they always bring in fairly big names and the cards have decent variety. I'd go.
EricR Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Also, I'm doing a live blog of the Evolve 131 show on WWE Network, super excited for Gulak/Riddle, no idea where to post the link so I'll just put it here: https://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2019/07/evolve-131-10th-anniversary-special.html

gordi Posted July 25, 2019 Report Posted July 25, 2019 Does it make me a bad person that every time I see the first name of the Democratic junior Senator from California, Ms. Harris, in print or online, I cannot help but mentally add "The Ugandan Headhunter"? Does that happen to anyone else? Also, I was a bit disappointed to learn that her husband's name is not "Husky."
C.S. Posted July 25, 2019 Report Posted July 25, 2019 Every wrestling fan is in the same boat, @gordi. But if you ever want to make it official... https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/wrestler-t-shirts/kamala/kamala-campaign.html

Mad Dog Posted July 26, 2019 Report Posted July 26, 2019 Has it been mentioned here yet? 2019 is the 30th anniversary of the formation of the Triple Crown Championship.

Considering I started watching Triple Crown matches in 1999, I feel old. Just watched the Celtic Warriors Workout with Lana (and Rusev)... how in the hell these two aren't major stars on TV ? They are so funny. That abs workout at the end looks killer too, I might want to try that one out (it's gonna kill me, I'm sure).

I am really slow, I only realized today that Kamala's (the wrestler's) family name is Harris.
