omg too true.

But also, relishes his job despite the abuse. Loyal to Vince/Burns is one thing. But straight up being in love with your job throughout the abuse is what links them together.

Lol so there's some backyarders wrestling at some 4:20 event in town Saturday and I so want to go.

Why the fuck wouldn’t you want to go? That sounds more entertaining than anything people jumped on a plane and spent hundreds on travel/lodging/tickets for on WrestleMania weekend.

I had no idea of Cornette's involvement in the Montreal Screwjob.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Everybody seems to want to take blame for it. Corny seemed to be the most believable. Russo is a cunt.

[Droford]

I had no idea of Cornette's involvement in the Montreal Screwjob.

The fact he referenced the great Montreal screwjob of 1931 was impressive

[Emperor Smeat]

I had no idea of Cornette's involvement in the Montreal Screwjob.

He mentioned having a role in it during a shoot interview several years ago but more as a joke and something he didn't think Vince would actually do which is why he was surprised when it actually happened.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Really interesting to find out the finish was Cornette’s.

[Bad News Gertner]

I remember him bringing that up in his 1997 Timeline video he did for Kayfabe Commentaries.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yeah I've heard the whole Corny story. I didn't hate the Viceland Screwjob show but it was all rehashed bullshit.

[Evil Vito]

I'm so fucking sick of hearing about the Screwjob more than 2 decades later.

[Jordan]

I don't mind hearing about it. I'll never forget it. I was 10... a mega HBK fan, I was so pumped for this rematch of at that time my favorite match the WM 12 Iron Man Match. The hype and buzz around this match was so tense, I was young but I knew there was something raw about all of it. When McMahon said on the pre show when asked by Cole (possibly his debut) who will win the main event and Vince said "I DON'T KNOW".... something was up.

What a great show. The match itself was a disappointment but it was insane and I'll never forget it. Plus there is always the chance it was a work so it's always interesting.

Cornette is so fucking underrated by the internet.

He’s mentioned stuff like getting Shamrock to go in there with Bret, and the suggestion of a double-cross, but I think that’s the first time I’ve heard him say that the HBK gets Bret in the Sharpshooter spot was his. For some reason, I had it in my head it was Pat.

Lars Sullivan made another controversial tweet that he then deleted. Nothing too bad, just about the fans being easily triggered, but it's just tasteless, tacky and disrespectful to people with genuine PTSD/anxiety disorders, which Sullivan would, you'd think, be more sensitive to.

Also a bad sign that perhaps he has not grown up from his trolling ways and is going to be a perpetual headache for the company. I really don't expect this guy to last too long before he puts his foot in it big time.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lana also came out and said that the company never gave her an explanation as to why she should fade out her Russian accent. Man, I can't remember a period of time where so much talent just flat-out talked about how much WWE sucks, and how public they are with their unhappiness within the company.

This reminds me of Benoit, Konnan and Raven talking shit about WCW while they were there, lol. It's pretty surreal.

It’s kind of why I don’t feel sorry for him. Not so much on the anxiety front, but when it comes to the trolling and obvious racism. He was old enough to “know better.”

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think I’ve seen that three-way, but I don’t remember Eddie wearing a singlet. Weird he seemingly went back to one.

Punk has been popping up more and more in regards to commenting on wrestling. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear about him making a return sometime soon. AEW seems like a real possibility given they’re not Vince.

[XL]

Pretty sure he’s not wearing a singlet in that picture. I think the “strap” is the shadow of Punk’s arm.

Dream opponents for The Miz’s dad: photos

Mr. George Mizanin was ready to throw fists with Shane McMahon at WrestleMania, but the showdown didn’t go quite the way we might have hoped. Perhaps these fantasy matchups would favor The Miz’s dad … or perhaps not.

https://www.wwe.com/gallery/miz-dad-dream-opponents?sf211303893=1#fid-40353248

[Mr. Nerfect]

Is there a WWE dream match? I mean, like, between two members of the available WWE roster?

[Emperor Smeat]

Lashley vs. Lesnar although that's more of a personal dream match for Lashley since he's pushed the idea a couple of times and was a big reason why he left Impact to return to WWE.

Lashley originally saw Lesnar as a dream opponent for his MMA career but since it wasn't possible due to circumstances, he settled on the idea of doing it as a wrestling match instead.

[#1-norm-fan]

Is there a WWE dream match? I mean, like, between two members of the available WWE roster?

No. Everyone faces everyone else as quickly as possible and then they try to find enough part-timers for WrestleMania to make it feel “special”. Just gotta hope Hollywood and the UFC can keep creating part-timers that WWE can buy for that second part because they sure as fuck aren’t gonna create them.

I’m actually with you in theory. Lashley didn’t make enough of a name for himself outside of WWE and left that part up to WWE. And now the idea of that match is laughable.

A well-handled Lashley over the past 2 years vs Lesnar would be a fucking great spectacle though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The way Lashley was presented in his first run, as a bit of a golden goose, felt like they wanted him to replace Lesnar in a sense, which fueled everything there a bit. Plus, the guy's have the same initials, lol. It's not much, but "BROCK LESNAR vs. BOBBY LASHLEY" with those two dudes, in perfect form, on a billboard makes wonderful sense.

I feel for Lashley a bit. He's never been the worker Brock is. His selling and his execution of stuff is a lot more forced and clunky. The guy's a freak of nature though, and when presented in a proper way, there's no reason he can't have the "Wow!" effect on your average fan.

I think the guy is hurt a bit by his physique in context of the modern era. They wanted him to be a babyface, but it looks absolutely ridiculous selling for dudes like Sami Zayn, who he looks like he should be able to pick the bones of. But if he did that, fans would revolt.

It probably would have been smart to bring him in and put him against someone like a John Cena. The fans wouldn't mind Lashley destroying Cena and would probably cheer it. Put him against heels like Orton, Wyatt, Harper and maybe have him squash Miz a few times. The fans wouldn't spit him out then. But then you've got to ask what the point of coddling a guy so much in 2018/2019 is. It's a lot of effort to just get to one match, and then you're left with the question of "what next?"

[Mr. Nerfect]

The match has happened, and one party isn't really likely to wrestle, but Brock vs. Rock could be huge. They're the two biggest "blockbuster" guys WWE has any sort of tie to. Heyman could cut promos about Brock beating Rock at SummerSlam and that basically forcing Rocky out the door for Hollywood. He'd make appearances, but would never be WWE Champion again until Brock left. There's something there.

The only other ones I can think of involve Shawn Michaels, who wrestled last year, so who fucking knows? Feels like cheating though, lol.

Apart from that, I agree with #1-wwf-fan. And I feel that is a big problem, because dream matches are indicative of a fan's imagination, investment and anticipation. That all the dream matches are locked in the past is a bit sad.

[Black Widow]

I feel like there is also a v good match to be had between Finn and Nakamura. But AJ vs Rollins is for sure my dream match for the current roster.

[Gerard]

Their youtube channel has been putting up quite a few of these "last shield match" videos. Starting to wonder if Ambrose leaving is not entirely accurate, have they ever put this much emphasis on a Wrestler leaving before? They're even doing a live event on the network tonight with supposedly the last shield match being a part of the card.

[Gerard]

I don’t hate it, but Taker is way past it.

Been way past it for a while now, only takes around 5 minutes of a match and he looks like he needs an oxygen tank.

[rockman725]

Yeah, I'm not sold on him "leaving" as in "I'm done here & never gonna wrestle again." I'm more sold on him "leaving" as in "I'm gonna take some time off, let the wifey make some dough, then when everybody least expects it, I'm gonna hit ya with a dirty deeds."

I can totally see 6 months, a year from now, he'll come back unannounced. Depending on what he does, he'll either be a MEGA FACE or a MEGA HEEL. Either way, he'll have mega heat. Wouldn't it be something if he and Punk come back together...!!!

For a short-lived makeshift team, Black and Ricochet did quite well for themselves.

I assume Ryder and Hawkins will be dropping the belts at the next PPV, if not earlier.

Then they'll join the Ascension, B-Team, and Slater/Rhyno in the burgeoning Main Event tag team division.

Cesaro alone?

This is probably his last chance to hit it big going solo. We know he can do it. It's a matter if Vince really gives a damn about him.

[Evil Vito]

Sheamus might just be done altogether. Not only did he recently get a concussion, but he's 41 years old and has been working with spinal stenosis for a year and a half or so.

All things considered, he was clearly working on borrowed time and I feel like they'd have been more likely than not to keep him in a tag team to preserve whatever he has left in the tank.

The Bar splitting up might signal the end of the line for him.

[slik]

Sheamus was always a solid hand and minus his never-ending feud w/ Del Rio I always enjoyed him. I wish him well and good vibes.

[Danny Electric]

If it’s cos of Fox wanting Latino wrestlers for the market they should have just sent Rey back to Smackdown and kept Andrade on Raw.
I like the Aleister Black trade to Smackdown though , he will work better on there .

[Danny Electric]

Looking at the breakdown of the rosters that Triple A did then there is definitely space for Black to be a mid card face on the show. Interested to see what they do with Andrade on there, if they want him to be that face for the Latino crowd then that tells me there will be a face turn for him in the near future.

[XL]

Fucking hell.

[Emperor Smeat]

If it’s cos of Fox wanting Latino wrestlers for the market they should have just sent Rey back to Smackdown and kept Andrade on Raw.
I like the Aleister Black trade to Smackdown though , he will work better on there .

Seems that's the reason since FOX was upset at losing Rey from the Shakeup and wanted a big name Latino star in return. Charlotte dating El Idolo was also a factor but FOX had the much bigger sway for this decision.

As noted earlier today on PWInsider.com, Aleister Black, Andrade and Zelina Vega were moved from Raw to Smackdown today. PWInsider.com has been told that the move to bring Andrade and Vega back to Smackdown was made, in part, at the request of FOX as the brand lacked any major Latino stars following the Superstar Shakeup last week and that once the series moves to FOX this October, there are plans to spotlight WWE's Latino stars on their Spanish language station, Fox Deportes.

Black was moved, at least in part, due to the fact he is married to Zelina Vega, as WWE has made an effort to keep married couples on the same brand, but we are also told there were some idea pitched for him for the blue brand.

According to Ronda Rousey, her original WWE career plans were to only stick around till November and then leave for a long while to raise a family. After the break, she'd then make a final decision to either continue her career or retire.

Only reason those plans changed were due to WWE rushing to give her the RAW Women's belt last June and promising her a major match as champ at this year's Mania. Everything else remained the same with her taking a lengthy break for family reasons and then considering afterwards if she wants to continue her career or not.

Also seems she's leaning on not signing a new deal once her current contract expires in about 2 years.

I was thinking how/if I would use Sasha Banks in AEW, should she get out of her WWE contract. I think it would be a nice twist on things if she wants a job, but Brandi turns her down because they don't like her attitude from WWE or whatever. They accept she's got skill, but AEW is doing fine with the women they have. Sasha's ego takes great offense to this, of course. Then what you get is Sasha being a shit and trying to stir things up in AEW her own way. Buying tickets and shit. Hanging out with Snoop in a sky box.

Eventually you get to this point in the story where Sasha thinks she's so dope, she tries to sleep with Cody and edge something over Brandi. She begins sending Cody pictures of herself and begins to allude to there being something going on, which Cody denies. This is all to get Brandi in the ring and make her see how dominant she is first-hand. And to get her, Brandi needs to offer her a big, juicy AEW contract.

Basically it would be kind of like a role reversal swap of Savage/Flair, with Sasha playing the role of Ric and Cody in the Liz role. Sasha is a major shit disturber fucking with a the real boss' marriage.

[Rammsteinmad]

Thought I'd re-post this in here since I always seem to post in the Raw thread when things have died down. But for the first time in years I'm actually excited by an episode of Raw and where it could be leading the company.

I'm not gonna deny, this is probably the first Raw in years where I actually took more than 15 minutes to get through it all. Quite a lot of cool and interesting stuff to get excited about.

- Both triple threat matches were pretty good, and didn't leave anyone looking weak. The Styles/Joe/Mysterio one in particular was really good.

- Sami Zayn's promo was great! The guy's a good talker and this is compelling stuff.

- I'm impressed with how over Miz is as a face. He's always had the "safe" WWE style, but his doing a springboard axe handle was pretty cool that he's busting out new things (even though the move itself was pretty lackluster, but seeing him prepare to jump, I was like "huh?").

- Cesaro and Alexander had a great match! Great Raw "debut" for Alexander, and Cesaro getting the clean win is awesome too! With Cesaro seemingly being a singles guy again for the time being, please please please WWE let this be the start of a decent main event push for the guy!

- Stacked tag team scene. I know tag team wrestling has never really been a priority since the Attitude days, but there's an abundance of great teams at the moment, of which none of them are just "two guys thrown together". I really hope WWE focuses on this.

- "Robert Roode". Again, a nice little match, and hopefully this will lead to better things for Roode. Ricochet is fun to watch, but I have no problems with his loss at the moment. He's still a "rookie".

- Bray Wyatt's promo was really interesting! No idea how this will develop over time, which is what makes it exciting. The guy is an excellent talker and worker, so I have no doubt he can pull off whatever he's going for here.

- AJ Styles vs. Seth Rollins... 'nuff said.

Overall, we all know WWE has a penchant for fucking things up or not being consistent with pushes etc, but right now, Raw has an absolutely stacked roster of amazingly talented workers! A lot of interesting developments have taken place, which will hopefully make for more entertaining viewing than what we've had for the last, fuck knows, ten years or so.

Apparently both Taker and Angle got pulled from Starrcast II because of WWE's involvement.

According to Conrard Thompson, he offered a compromise where Taker would be allowed for Starrcast 2 and in return, he'd donate 100% of the proceeds from Taker's panel to WWE's Conor’s Cure charity and match it with his own donation. WWE rejected the offer since Vince supposedly isn't fond of Taker marketing himself for non-WWE events.

Why, thank you. I can still muster up some sort of engagement when the situation calls for it. Really pulling for AEW. And they've got a chance, because with only 2 hours, they will be able to focus on threads and give them proper development leading to big shows that feel like they've got a purpose, as opposed to clusters thrown together that stretch into the wee hours of the morning.

Lol Turning down direct money to the charity they created for PR purposes. Conrad needs to guarantee that Saudi-level money straight to WWE’s pockets before Vince will whore out one of his guys.

They really are. On the sly, I think this is a good public move from Conrad. He probably knows he isn't going to get anyone, but this does more to heel WWE and make them a soulless entity. AEW has done lots of little clever moves that would make good PR in contrast to WWE, who are basically whores for the immediate dollar grab.

If wrestling actually gets some attention in slow news weeks when Smackers moves to FOX and AEW launches, and people want to write about it, then it's going to be pretty easy for journalists to portray AEW as rising babyfaces against the cold corporate empire that secretly still hates its female employees, has a history of racism and tokenism, and accepts sacks of money from the Saudi government while aware that it is tasteless.

Some of the smartest things AEW have done are around starting a promotion in the tones that they have.

The way Lashley was presented in his first run, as a bit of a golden goose, felt like they wanted him to replace Lesnar in a sense, which fueled everything there a bit. Plus, the guy's have the same initials, lol. It's not much, but "BROCK LESNAR vs. BOBBY LASHLEY" with those two dudes, in perfect form, on a billboard makes wonderful sense.

I feel for Lashley a bit. He's never been the worker Brock is. His selling and his execution of stuff is a lot more forced and clunky. The guy's a freak of nature though, and when presented in a proper way, there's no reason he can't have the "Wow!" effect on your average fan.
If Lashley were ever to face Lesnar it should have been in at "The Greatest Royal Rumble" in that cage match Roman was in.

For a person who was already in hot water with ROH management over them hating his "invading" spot at G1 Supercard and the negative fan backlash it generated, posting a video trashing both ROH and NJPW was a really dumb decision.

For some reference, neither him nor Cass are signed to ROH contracts and seems ROH no longer has any interest for them to work in more shows.

Published yesterday, in the video above Enzo was with UFC Fighter Mickey Gall, who defeated CM Punk in 2016, and went after both the Ring of Honor and New Japan locker rooms.

"Mickey, remember when you choked out CM Punk?," Enzo asked. "He used to work for that f---in', what was that? Ring of Honor. Listen, as far as all you people that work for, or with, Ring of Honor or New Japan, as far as you're concerned, you're not concerned. Zero f---s given. You're S-O-F-T f---in' soft. So, I know this might be hard for you, but maybe ya do me a solid. Alright, if you happen to see me and Cass, big guy, XL.

"If you happen to see us, introduce yourselves, alright? Because we have no idea who the f--- you are. I know what I know and that's all I that know and that's this. There are only two things that smell like fish, and one of them, fish. The other one—Ring of Honor / New Japan locker room, how ya doin?

I think it would also help if tickets were less expensive. I know WWE really has racked up the cost of the best seats, even for house shows. If someone wanted to bring their kids and try to get their kids into WWE it'd be pretty expensive and easier to just take the kids to The Avengers, which is less expensive.

Thing is, I find that as a sincere response and yes, whenpeople get worked up, sometimes they say dumb insensitive things. I wonder if people will just label her a homophobe anyways.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rhea Ripley used a gay slur in her recent stream.

Wouldn't be surprised if WWE ends up laying the hammer on the NXT guys she's associated with since their streams sometimes tend to straddle the line or go below it for stuff WWE would be comfortable with. Same for them causing more controversy from the Donovan Dijak Twitter incident.

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently there was once a wrestler named "The Champion" in Mid South Wrestling based on some reading about WWE's Hidden Gems addition this week.

Same person who later became one half of the Moondogs tag team as Moondog Rex and as the first "Smash" for Demolition in WWF.

And later became Detroit Demolition in Continental and The Nightmare in Mid South. His name was Randy Colley . The Moondogs were badass. I've never heard of Randy wrestling as "The Champion" though

[Emperor Smeat]

Cagematch.com had him listed by that name for MSW's Wrestlefest 1985 event which is today's Hidden Gem on the WWE Network.

It was him vs. Wahoo McDaniel for the MSW North American title at the show.

It looks like he did wrestle a bit as "The Champion". Lol what a weird moniker.

[Splaya]

I think that's a good idea @Splaya

I think it would also help if tickets were less expensive. I know WWE really has racked up the cost of the best seats, even for house shows. If someone wanted to bring their kids and try to get their kids into WWE it'd be pretty expensive and easier to just take the kids to The Avengers, which is less expensive.

It's all dependent on where you sit. But when I went to house shows at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit when WWE came there, the majority of the upper levels were closed off. It was a Saturday night and WWE was lucky if there was 2,000 people there.

It's like when NXT comes to Detroit. They go to Royal Oak and perform there. It's a smaller venue but the place is filled to the brim and there are no empty seats. WWE would be smart to start having house shows at smaller venues.

In terms of TV events, they need to stop having shows at these places where the crowds are dead. I understand that you have to hit a market for your shows, but there are sometimes where Detroit goes: Smackdown Live-House Show-House Show-Raw-House Show-House Show-RAW. There is no reason that a market like Detroit should have two house shows before they have a Live TV event. I'm sure this is prevalent in other cities as well.

Not that surprising. Very glad that there's no Baron Corbin in there.

[Evil Vito]

I think they'll wind up adding one more SmackDown guy in there to even it up. Probably Ali since he'd fit the match style.

[DAMN iNATOR]

If that's confirmed, I'd say the smart money (no pun intended) is to have Drew win it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hope Ricochet does more than just be the Evan Bourne spot monkey roll. But even if that’s al he does he’ll be a heck of a spot monkey (not racist).

[Vastardikai]

I can see Drew winning it, but a Cesaro-Rollins program would be an interesting way to kill a month or two.

His match against Zack Sabre Jr. for the IWGP IC belt at NJPW Sengoku Lord last week was really good.

[Emperor Smeat]

Assuming nobody else gets added and that list is true along with the rumor of WWE wanting this year's MitB winner to be treated as a big star going forward, then the only real choices are Drew, Ricochet, Black, and Andrade.

Drew makes the most sense if WWE wants a RAW guy to win and Andrade if WWE wants a Smackdown guy to win based on current champs.

Andrade would be my pick since it appeases FOX who wants a big Latino star for Smackdown and he'd benefit the most from a cash-in, especially if Kofi still has the belt.

Depends if your going the legal way or less than legal way.

Legal way is whenever AXS TV has an Ibushi match among the stuff they air every Friday or whenever NJPW World gives away a freebie match involving him.

For the less than legal way, his match against Tanahashi at last year's G1 Climax finals was really great.

McIntyre should win MITB, come out to open Raw the next night and say he doesn't need the advantage and he will be challenging Rollins whenever Rollins wants. Rollins arrives later in the show, is informed of the challenge and accepts for the main event and promptly loses. McIntyre killed The Shield, took out Reigns, sent Ambrose back to the bingo halls and took what Rollins loved more than anything. Feud started.

[Vastardikai]

Or McIntyre wins MITB, and wrestles Rollins. Rollins wins by DQ. Drew brutalized him with a chair. Then he pulls out the briefcase and cashes in to win the belt.

[Lock Jaw]

Or

Drew McIntyre doesn't win MITB, never becomes champion, and doesn't come close to the main event scene again.

Reby Hardy described it as a "weird" moment.

It has been three weeks since WrestleMania 35 and the festivities of WrestleMania week/weekend including the WWE Hall Of Fame ceremony. The likes of Universal Champion Seth Rollins, former RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey and current RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch were present at the ceremony. Also present was one-half of the current SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy and his wife Reby Hardy. Reby took to Twitter to share a story from the Hall Of Fame red carpet and it was based around an interviewer asking Matt if he was attracted to Reby because she resembles Jeff Hardy.
