The wedding segment was the worst out of that whole infidelity and marriage storyline. Not only did the segment just drag on, it led to one of the dumbest or most useless swerves ever in WWE with Liv Morgan.
Completely undid all the vignettes they were doing for Liv's return for a trash tv like moment and led to nothing in the end because of Rusev's contract dispute and nobody wanting to see an actual feud between Lana and Liv.

Apparently Charlotte Flair currently has a goal in WWE to win a Men's title at some point.
When asked by Sportskeeda how she feels about Tessa Blanchard winning the World Championship in IMPACT Wrestling, Charlotte spoke candidly about feeling like, although she may want to take that same leap in her future, she is more interested at the moment and supporting Tessa Blanchard because she feels all women succeed through the achievements of women across the globe.
“It’s something that I want to pursue but, if you look at the big picture, when women are succeeding in different organizations all around the world, we’re all succeeding and we’re all winning from that,” Charlotte would say. “So for her to hold that accolade is just, we should support and be just extremely proud, as a woman, to see her do that because when one’s doing well, we’re all doing well. That is what has pretty much driven the Women’s Evolution is we work better in numbers, so it’s not something that I think about right now but I couldn’t be more proud and happy for what she is doing for women around the world.”

Shawn Michaels was in a heated debate at NXT Takeover In Your House ahead of the show. Michaels was discussing the current social climate with another producer, when said producer mentioned that everyone already gets treated the same. This didn't sit well with Michaels, we're told, who broke down systematic prejudice and inequality to the persona in a very heated discussion. Word of the argument only made its way back among multiple wrestlers the following day, and Michaels was said to be a "professional" and worked with the person even after the argument went down.
Considering only a small handful of people work as producers in NXT and one of them was recently involved in a social media incident involving a similar topic, I'd put all my money on this mystery person being Road Dogg.
Also would fit with him way more often than not putting his foot in his mouth whenever he discusses social issues and WWE's booking in general online.

I don't mind Charlotte winning belts and everything because she's really talented. But they should cool off on it a bit and stop doing it so often. Give us a break for awhile.
It's like when Randy Orton was racking up belts back in the day and everyone knew he was gonna be like a 25 time world champion eventually. Then they just stopped. And now it's been kinda whack that he hasn't had a meaningful title reign in years. I wanna say he has like 3 world title reigns for a total of like 4-5 months reign over the last decade. That's insane considering.

If they had replaced Taker vs. HBK from Mania 25 with Taker vs. HBK II from Mania 26, that would have been my third pick. Liked the streak vs. career match more than their first Maina bout. Also no clue why the Taker photo has him with the World title since he wasn't the champ at Mania 25.
If it was my list, the only post-Attitude Era match from that list I'd keep would be Taker vs. HBK. Maybe Sasha vs. Bayley as well since that arguably was the best ever women's match in WWE history and one of the best ever in NXT history.

I think they cage match is a 5 star match and I rate the WM match just over 4. The Mania match is awesome but it's not the greatest match of all time. The story of that match evolved into the cage match at Summerslam for the blow off it's a lot more of a match to digest than the Mania match. I think you can literally see Bret editing himself in the Mania match where as at Summerslam they both really let loose on each other.

Evil Vito
06-12-2020, 08:47 AM
Punk/Cena is also probably a top 3 match all time for me, BUT since the idea is to only keep three and erase the rest....they pretty much butchered Punk's storyline with a month of that match so it wouldn't have the historical ramifcations.
Also I was at Takeover NY so Cole/Gargano will always have a soft spot for me because my god was that crowd electric.......but it's not even close to being as historically relevant to most of the matches on that list.
As for what I'd keep:
Getting rid of Savage/Steamboat would almost feel like getting rid of The Beatles. Every competent worker that came in in the 90s/2000s cited that match as a major influence growing up.
Bret/Austin is considered to be a major foundation layer for what was to come in the Attitude Era, was such a good hard hitting match and the image of a bloody Austin is iconic.
And then you get HBK/Taker. Protecting three Mania matches feels appropriate, especially a Streak match. Some of the best drama I've seen in a match, by this point I went into every Taker match assuming a win but by the end of it I was biting on every false finish. Shit I almost bit on Taker getting counted out when he fell back on his ass at 9 seconds. Not many matches in the last 15 years captured my attention like that one did.

It's been a yr. They have a solid base, but Gertner is mostly right. They've peaked for now with their audience.

The lack of crowd did them no favors. The energy just isn't the same and because AEW was limited on talent, the amount of storytelling they could do was limited. I don't recall the tag or women's titles being used at all.
I also think covid took a lot of eyes away and moved them to getting news via tv and social media.

Pretty much this.
AEW and NXT being more action oriented meant they had the most to lose with the loss of crowds. AEW tried to mitigate that with wrestlers as the crowd but that was more of a stop gap than a real solution.
Combine that with news saturation on a level not seen in a long while and you end up with the perfect condition for people being pre-occupied or in no mood for wrestling even with the lack of sports. It did seem like things were starting to turn around a bit but then another major wave of news saturation hit with the police brutality protests and riots.

That was the big assumption from the Observer and others but outside of the first week or two, that ended up not being the case at least in terms of live viewers. DVR numbers held up better for a while before crashing down.
Didn't help WWE resisted adapting to the situation until it was way too late which just made everything worse. That's the one downside of WWE having an iron grip over US wrestling and the mainstream equating them with wrestling.

Emperor Smeat

My bad, fixed the mistake. Not sure why I kept thinking it was just title shots and not also them defending their belts. Probably because of how many reigns Charlotte has had where she barely defended them successfully.
Meanwhile, seems WWE dropped their plans for the Forgotten Sons since they got pulled again from SD tapings.
You may have noticed the Forgotten Sons missing in action for the last two weeks. As of Monday morning, they weren't expected to be on the next two episodes of Smackdown either.
The team of Jaxson Ryker, Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake were primed for a push within the WWE Tag Team division, before a pro-Donald Trump tweet landed him in hot water with the locker room. Most of the WWE wrestlers that we've spoken to say that he was well liked ahead of that and very respectful. They also note that Blake and Cutler distanced their stances from his following the tweet, and even came in for a meeting with Mark Carrano, as well as other wrestlers.
However, the vignettes have stopped for the trio. They weren't on the last couple of episodes of Smackdown, and were not figured into plans for the tapings on Monday and Tuesday. The team was originally set to enter a program with New Day, which seems off the table considering Big E and Kofi lost to Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura. They could always be called in to film vignettes after the fact, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Based on what we've heard, there's no heat on Wesley Blake or Steve Cutler, but they are catching the backlash from Ryker's tweet. It's worth noting that Ryker hasn't wrestled since the call-up.
Most we've talked to on the roster feel bad that Blake and Cutler are being lumped in with Ryker after the time they put in NXT to get called up.
NXT ref Drake Wuertz (former indie wrestler Drake Younger) is very lucky he didn't catch similar backlash since he also had a very ill timed and tone deaf tweet recently in support of Ryker's controversial tweet.

I think the sarcasm is pretty clear.
But then I think the OP has misunderstood the documentary. It’s not about how he feels obliged to come back for the fans (although he might tell himself that). It’s about how he’s stuck in this cycle, that he knows he needs to break but, like many before him, he can’t let go.
He goes from “I can’t do this like I used to/disappointed in the match” to “I must redeem myself” to “that was pretty good/I feel good”, then has another stinker (tag match vs. DX, match vs. Goldberg), and the cycle starts again.
Honestly, it’s a pretty sad thing to watch as a fan, but I think McCool comes off pretty well in the doc; she knows she can’t tell him not to, and that he has to reach his own conclusion. She let the guy leave their family weekend at Mania to fly back from New York to Texas to get his gear to do a 5 minute throwaway segment on Raw the night after.

Had the series been just the first episode, it would have been among the best documentaries ever made by WWE. Had the perfect storybook ending for Taker's career and more people would have remembered the defining moment of him leaving with his hat and gear in the ring than the quality of the match itself.
The latter episodes, while good, makes it hard to feel sorry for Taker's dilemma since he's had several chances to redeem himself and go out on his own terms but stubbornly keeps learning the wrong lessons. He's like the Brett Farve of wrestling in that regards.

Would have to be next year though since he sort of already gave it away that the documentary doesn't end with him saying his match at Mania 36 was his last.
He still wants to wrestle again at Mania but won't do so next year if no crowds are around. All depends on what happens with Round 2 of the coronavirus.

I'd put money down on Charlotte winning via DQ.
She already has a pin and countout win over Asuka with the only thing missing is a DQ win to complete the trifecta of lame finishes from their matches.

It's a good doc series but I can't 'feel bad' for Taker/Michelle, it's all his own choice.
Honestly, I find most wrestling (especially WWE) docs to be the drizzling shits. Even Taker's I was bored within a few minutes.
If you think about it, none of the "revelations" are surprising.
Best one I've seen by far is Beyond the Mat because it wasn't completely sanitized. Though, that's obviously not WWE produced, which is why they hated it, cuz it at least was somewhat honest.

According to the Observer, seems a potential partnership between MLW and NJPW might be in the works. Basis for the rumor involves the tapings NJPW held in secret in California last week and had MLW's Tom Lawlor showing up to wrestle a couple of matches against NJPW talent.
Assuming its true, that could clear the road for a potential NJPW and AEW partnership in the future since NJPW might be lessening their rules against having rival partners. Both MLW and AEW share the same partnership with AAA while NJPW is still partnered with CMLL in Mexico.

lol yeah. He gets irked that so many people in the business regard Savage/Steamboat as the best match at WM3. He doesn't even think it's subjective, Hogan/Andre had to be the best match because it's what drew the gate.

Ol Dirty Dastard
06-23-2020, 08:17 AM
I get where he's coming from. He's trying to make the point that all the other matches mean nothing without the big draw. It's a fair point and honestly, Hogan and Andre, despite its limitations, really did work as a match. But I think it's a bit simplistic and - yea - I feel like the viewing audience can be enthralled by a match that isn't a big money draw.

You are. For wrestling to transcend a niche audience, you need the big, flashy names that draw people in.
Yes, the workrate guys are great to keep people invested until the main event. But that marquee match is literally EVERYTHING as far as attracting attention goes.
I still don't think that means Hogan/Andre the best match on the show though. Definitely the biggest spectacle and most profitable.
Evil Vito
06-23-2020, 08:46 AM
Oh yeah no doubt it was the biggest attraction. I just think trying to make it sound like “best match” isn’t even a matter of opinion is a bit daft. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
The one good thing about that line of thinking is that I’d imagine Al discourages his wrestlers from taking any unnecessary dangerous bumps or whatever since everything is window dressing before the main.

Apparently the reason why refs rarely get referenced by name and the lack of a modern day Earl Hebner in WWE in recent years is due to Vince kept forgetting who they were and got annoyed that commentary routinely knew their names better than he did.
It's often said the best referees in wrestling are the ones you don't notice. Though WWE has identified head officials such as Earl Hebner throughout their history, in recent years, referees are there to do their job and not be mentioned.
Why is that?
Mike Chioda, who had been with WWE for 30 years before being released in April, provided a reason on Talk is Jericho.
"I believe it was they were saying the referee's names too much. It wasn't with me, it was with another referee, and [Vince] didn't recognize their name and he was like, 'Who is this?' They said, 'Oh, it's the referee.' He goes, 'Goddamnit, I'm done hearing the referee's name. I don't want to hear his name no more.' They were putting him over too much and he didn't recognize the name," he said.
Chris Jericho noted that Vince's reaction was "Classic Vince."
Chioda joked that Vince would use the phrase, "'Referees, they don't sell tickets, they comp tickets.'"
Though Vince might not know the names of some referees, he always had a good relationship with Chioda.
"It was always a good relationship, on the fly, Vince is a very busy man. There was a time years ago when we would have more conversations. Not so many in the last so many years. Vince comes out of the office, goes to Gorilla, will be there for some rehearsals. My relationship with Vince was awesome over 35 years," he said. "[Vince] said, 'I need you to put these rules into effect with young talent. Whatever you do, I will back you up.' He would always tell me, 'If you ever have to count him out, I don't give a damn. You do your job and make them work around you.'"

Gonna ride past the low hanging fruit of Nia Jax and injury being used jointly again like she's so much All Red Everything, and instead ask: isn't an injury angle what they did back when Charlotte's boob caught a flat? Wonder if this is another tire rotation...

It isn't low hanging if it's true though.
I had it on in the background and as soon as I heard her theme, I said out loud "oh shit, wonder who is getting injured tonight." It's shitty that its the first thought, but its the first thought for a very valid, and visible reason.
The fact it was worked into an angle is even more hilarious, but also sad. Seems as though the writers went for the low hanging fruit.

MLW have been pretty quiet achievers. They haven't started with the world's largest budget, but they've managed to build things up quite well. They just announced that DAZN deal and that Tom Lawlor will be working with New Japan.
They were teasing meetings with NBC Universal and some other networks (Showtime, I think). It'd be great if something fell out of those when the restrictions lift.
I remember reading MLW might have been in talks w/ CBS for their CBS Now service or Showtime as you mentioned above, before rona, but I don't know now.
The NJPW stuff is good, I like MLW when I catch it. Battle Riott is a good idea.
Emperor Smeat
06-25-2020, 02:31 AM
In terms of tv expansion, MLW pretty much is what ROH should have been had Sinclair actually cared to invest in the company for the long term and not simply view them as just cheap programming. Sinclair's mentality has changed over the past year but the brand's image still has a lot of fixing to do.
In terms of show and match quality, ROH mostly blows MLW out of the water. Could probably make a case of them being closer in quality since Jay Lethal's 2nd title reign but ROH might still hold the edge. Biggest criticism about MLW since its revival has been their in-ring stuff being their biggest weakness despite having a pretty good roster available, especially with AAA lending them talent.

Besides Ricky Starks, seems NWA is about to lose another notable star from their roster.
NWA TV Champion Zicky Dice has reportedly requested his release from the company, according to Fightful Select.
It was noted that while nothing is official yet, the request has been granted.
NWA officials reportedly sent out an email to talent, staring that they didn’t want any talent with the company that didn’t believe in their vision moving forward. The contract releases reportedly do not include any specific instructions outside of a non-disparagement clause.
NWA recently lost former TV Champion Ricky Starks as well, who is now with AEW. He and Dice are friends and have continued to produce content together.
Add Thunder Rosa as well who has shown recent public interest in working elsewhere.
Out of the Big 6 promotions in the US (WWE, AEW, Impact, ROH, MLW, & NWA), NWA is on the shakiest ground in terms of finances based on past comments by Billy Corgan and former VP David Lagana.

This sucks, because Zicky Dice is great. I am sure a promotion who needs a midcard heel will snap him up.

On the bright side, Tessa Blanchard is now available since she just got fired from Impact.

Becky looks great with her natural hair color

yeah i don't know what happened to her not even making vids for them, almost like like she fell off the edge of aj styles earth. wonder if that dago dude is giving her bad advice, you would figure with her dad and step dad she would know better. hope she gives the belt back.

I'd be surprised if she signed with either company.
Even when WWE was in talent hoard mode, they showed little interest in signing her whenever she was available. Too much of a bad rep within WWE from past encounters there and a bunch of WWE's female locker room doesn't like her over past incidents.
She'd be too much of a PR nightmare for AEW considering her past racism accusations and at least one in AEW's female locker room doesn't like her because of past issues.

The New Day have been together for 2167 days. According to guy on r/SC, that is the longest tenured stable in professional wrestling history to not have a break up.

I was thinking the other day how they've been together for fucking AGES by WWE standards. They're their longest reigning Tag Champs and I think they are pretty close to having won the most championships together. In kayfabe, they are probably their greatest tag team.
I think they are stale as fuck, personally. I wouldn't mind a real change for them, but I don't really want to see heel Big E (unless it's in the group). If they turn someone, it should be Kofi Kingston and possibly Xavier Woods. No need to take everything that makes Big E enjoyable and flush it down the toilet, ala Rikishi in 2000.
I also wouldn't be opposed to them adding a new member. They've been together long enough that it could add cache to someone.

A good example as to why promos suck massive donkey dong, who the fuck actually talks like this? "Bray's Lantern..glistening in the Dark" "and that's when i realised Bray Wyatt was the Serpent, i was overcome with emotion, enamoured at this feat i had just witnessed"
:roll:
He really looks the type of person to use that type of verbiage.
