[Evil Vito]

Listening to Undertaker's appearance on Joe Rogan

"Too much pretty and not enough substance". I get what he's saying but it's hilarious coming from a guy with an eight minute entrance.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Of course, he apparently didn't criticize the booking. Just the wrestlers.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Could you imagine 1997/1998 Steve Austin fanboying over 2021 Steve Austin and taking a stunner?

Okay that sounds ridiculous. But imagine Greg Valentine came back for a legend's night back in 1998, and Steve Austin bumped for him.

That's pretty much main problem with WWE. Obviously, it's a symptom. But they book their guys like a bunch of simps for the company. While I understand how some wrestlers "loving wrestling" growing up is cool, but not everyone should be like that. There should be some nasty dudes who do it for a paycheck. Some guys who don't care about history and want to be the best. And none of them should be intimidated by 87-year-old Undertaker.

[Evil Vito]

That's because Vince doesn't want to run the risk of anybody ever becoming bigger than the brand ever again.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I get that. And it has some amount of logic to it, I guess, in a twisted way.

But there's got to be another way of doing it besides making everyone the punkest of bitches. I guess at least Roman seems cool now.

[Evil Vito]

It took them long enough with Roman. This is what people have wanted for ages. Trying to force him through as a white meat babyface was cringe.

Sure as fuck isn't wrong!

[xrodmuc316]

He is very right. They are missing most of their true maulers, that's for sure. Braun out, Brock not signed, Joe announcing. Neither Drew or Roman are working that style. They need like 4 more Sheamus clones like from Multiplicity to really ramp it up.

[SammyG]

Taker also said he used to roid up

DSOTR doing an episode on Kanyon this season reportedly.

No surprise there. Imagine what HGH would have/could do for his body.

[Bad News Gertner]

It's a really sad story. I won't spoil anything.

[GD]

I haven't listened much yet but I'll never forget that chair shot Taker gave him on that episode of Smackdown.

[Bad News Gertner]

He fucking crushed him with that shot

[GD]

Will never forget Heyman standing by the Smackdown set and saying "He's a human being!"

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The chair shot was because Kanyon had finally come out to the locker room right? He wanted to go public with it and WWE said no and then booked Taker to beat the shit out of him?

[XL]

That can’t be true.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Here’s how David Bixenspan describes it from his review of Kanyon’s book:


After years of desperately trying to stay closeted (aside from confiding in his best friend, Jim Mitchell), Kanyon decided in late 2001 to come out within wrestling and pitched an angle where he'd essentially be himself, a non-stereotypical, openly gay wrestler. His friends liked the idea, but it got no support from the WWE creative team.

After a series of injuries sidelined him, he got back into ring shape in WWE developmental territory (OVW) and was set to return on the February 15th, 2003 episode of SmackDown. When he got to the TV taping, he learned that he would be returning in an in-ring segment as part of the feud between The Undertaker and the Big Show.

As a "gift" from Big Show, Kanyon would come out of a giant box (closet?) dressed as Boy George, sing "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" to Undertaker and get beaten up by him. Kanyon had his qualms, especially since it came off as a vote of no confidence for his idea for a gay gimmick, but felt he had to go along with the angle.

If it was bad enough that the segment was seemingly designed to embarrass him and put him in his place, but it got worse—much worse. While he was the long-time "locker room leader" of WWE and ostensibly a safe veteran wrestler, The Undertaker was clearly reckless in beating Kanyon with the chair, concussing him with the hardest shot to the head you'll ever see.

I guess it could be coincidental. But I dunno it sure sounds like it. Maybe I’m reading too much into it.

[Bad News Gertner]

Bix tends to read too much into things

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Also I about shat myself that Ryan Clark wrote Kanyon’s book

But it’s not that Ryan Clark. It’s a better one.

Super rare does NASCAR run on a weekday. Usually due to a weather delay or something.

NHL is everyday.

Interesting.

I could see NXT getting bumped from time to time but I have to think USA Network would be hesitant to bump RAW.

These C and D syndicated shows are full of gimmicks that never made Nitro or Thunder

[Evil Vito]

Dale Torborg was still in his 20s when WCW went under, and reportedly WWF was interested in making him one of the contracts they picked up but he decided to skip his tryout and go back to baseball coaching.

[Bad News Gertner]

In 1994 there was a short lived daytime Talk Show called Bingo Break. Gorilla Monsoon was one of the host along with some woman who wasn't in the wrestling business. Sean Mooney and Bobby Heenan were on it too, but they don't play up the wrestling connection at all. He's actually not even referred to as Gorilla Monsoon. He's "Bob Marella". It was created by long time WWF producer Nelson Swigler. It's really interesting.

Wrestling fans on Twitter make me sick. Adult men collecting Wrestling toys, belts and t-shirts make me sick. Everytime I read a fan's critisim of a wrestler doing a dangerous spot or neck bump, makes me sick. I regularly am deleting anything Wrestling related on Twitter because this fan base in general has become no different than comic con cos play cock suckers who think they know better than anyone who actually works in the buisness. Marks have taken over the voice of the fan and it has become a market unto itself. Podcasts and promotions constantly shoved down my throat. I don't include most of those who post here when I say I hate Wrestling fans.

Wrestling Twitter is terrible. They hate everything and never shut the fuck up about it.

Vince wanted him to gain weight for the role. It's something that doesn't get brought up. Vince wanted Yoko to gain weight for the gimmick, but Yoko couldn't put the breaks on it once he got used to eating constantly.

He was originally wearing padding in his tights when he first started the role iirc, he gained weight but fuck me he REALLY gained it. Supposedly near 600lbs at his time of death.

Slamming him also seemed to be near impossible, he had so much girth to him that he had to be dumped pretty early on in the slam because the sheer mass of his body was pushing him out of the opponents grip. Someone like Show who has longer arms and more height probably could have got a good one on him.

Lars Sullivan got released by WWE according to PWI.

It happened last month but WWE kept it a secret until today.

WWE Smackdown star Dylan Miley, aka Lars Sullivan, is gone World Wrestling Entertainment, PWInsider.com can exclusively confirm. PWInsider.com learned that MIlley was quietly released last month. Today, WWE officials confirmed that Sullivan is no longer with the company.

[screech]

When was the last time he was even on TV?

[Emperor Smeat]

Early November.

He came back on the night of the last Draft in October, wrestled a bit, and then did a few sitdown interviews before disappearing again.

[screech]

Decent big man, but he's dealt with some real anxiety issues that kept him off TV hasn't he (along with knee issues, I think)?

Would another company take a shot?

Would another company take a shot?

That along with the past gay porn stuff, some past controversial comments, and him being outed as a creep to a woman online during his time away.

Only reason he lasted as long as he did after getting called up was due to Vince remaining his only real big supporter while most within WWE wanted him gone after each new controversy popped up.

Doubt any notable company would want him considering all the baggage and bad PR he'd bring to them.

[Evil Vito]

Lars is gone?

Fightful revealed some new details regarding Lars Sullivan's release from WWE.

Pretty much WWE having no real plans for him when he returned this past October and that remaining the case a month later when he got abruptly yanked from WWE television.

PWInsider revealed today that Lars Sullivan had parted ways from WWE. Fightful has learned a lot more about his time there.

Sullivan was set for a major push, and programs pitched with both John Cena and Brock Lesnar -- one for WrestleMania in 2019 when he was first brought in. However, personal issues prevented Sullivan from appearing.

Around that time, abhorrent comments that Sullivan made on a forum years prior emerged, causing Sullivan to be fined. We heard from countless WWE wrestlers who said the normally reserved Sullivan approached them personally and apologized for the comments, chalking it up to ignorant trolling when he was younger.

Sullivan's knee injury was a major derailing of his career. Initially WWE always had a June 2020 internal listing for his return, but Sullivan had thought he'd be back much sooner as he'd dealt with knee issues in the past. As it turned out, at points it looked like his knee injury could be career threatening, and was much worse than he'd experienced.

When an adult video of Lars Sullivan made the rounds, we were constantly reiterated by WWE officials that it would have no bearing on his push, and there was no heat on him as a result. However, wrestlers told us that there was no way Vince McMahon would look at him the same again after the video released. Sullivan had been a favorite of McMahon's upon his call-up in 2019.

Many that we spoke to in November had no idea the creative direction or intention of Lars Sullivan's promos, particularly the shirtless one with Michael Cole. A high-level WWE source had sad that it "seemed like sabotage or a test" to put Sullivan in such a spot.

According to the Observer, Lars Sullivan's release wasn't due to any creative related reasons and instead he suddenly stopped showing up to work again shortly after his return. That led to Vince completely souring on him and fired him afterwards.

yeah only brother glad to see him take time off. i did not even know vince had a brother, that is how he was kept out of the lime lite.

[Emperor Smeat]

Turns out the reason for Steve Cutler's release is due to him contracting COVID last month and Vince being pissed off over it enough that led to him being fired yesterday.

A new report has details on Steve Cutler’s WWE release. Fightful Select reports that there was heat on Cutler from Vince McMahon after the Smackdown roster member contracted COVID-19 in early January. Both Cutler and Wesley Blake were actively trying to return to television, but it didn’t happen.

The site notes that the move was WWE’s decision and that Cutler was at the WWE Performance Center, as he was offering to bump for the PC’s “big man”. Cutler was reportedly a welcome and familiar face there and well liked. Finally, it was noted that from WWE, the “door was open” on a return later.

I just hope Steve Cutler doesn't show up on AEW and team with his brother Brandon to be the Cutler Bro's complete with main event Game of Thrones entrance robes and Triple H water bottle spits.

Lmao firing someone because they caught covid? Jesus lol

Even worse is the rumor of Vince got pissed Cutler's girlfriend revealed it publicly on social media while WWE much rather wants those who test positive to keep quiet unless they get permission.

They've been more petty over that situation happening than bothering to combat the COVID deniers in the company or doing a better effort enforcing their COVID policies to stop having outbreaks almost every month.

The Rumble could have actually been one of the most dangerous matches of all time...

WWE currently considering the idea of having cardboard cutouts of fans to help fill in the crowd at Mania 37.

Originally were not planning on doing so but after seeing how the NFL did it with last night's Super Bowl game, its now an idea gaining traction within the company.

Last night, WrestleVotes noted that WWE may consider using cardboard cutouts of fans at Wrestlemania 37, wheras before, they didn’t see that as an option. However, the Super Bowl used them last night to fill the empty spaces in the seats (due to a limited number of people attending thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic). According to a source, WWE will now “100%” discuss” the matter again.

The source added that “it’s beyond dumb to not, RJS looked wonderful for what it was.”

Wrestlemania will be held on April 10-11 from Raymond James Stadium, the site of last night’s Super Bowl.

Her tweets are really fucking stupid.

[Evil Vito]

Cornette is, unsurprisingly, really showing himself up on this one. He's admitted that he doesn't know who Maki Itoh is beyond Twitter and has no interest in finding out, and he's accused KENTA of being a "spot monkey" that no one in the US will have heard of. Yet people will still consider him an "expert" despite repeatedly showing that he doesn't have a fucking clue what he's talking about.

[thecc]

Like really, imagine feeling the need to defend someone constantly saying racist, homophobic, and transphobic shit.

[Evil Vito]

Omega books more Japanese women? Surely it can't have anything to do with the fact that he's followed the joshi scene extensively as a professional wrestler spending years in Japan and he's worked with many of them. Must be a fetish!

[thecc]

Also imagine thinking the guy who says hateful shit like this all the time would be the one who knows how to make wrestling popular again.

I give no fucks about how archaic it is to say this. Women's wrestling fucking sucks.

[Bad News Gertner]

Yup

[Evil Vito]

I don’t mind women’s wrestling when it’s done well. Unfortunately, it so rarely is.

[Evil Vito]

I can’t recall a women’s match ever being a carry job. Like as much as I like Asuka, not even she can overcome the limitations of many of her opponents.

[drave]

It always comes down to odd timing, or "stutter-steps" in the ring. Seems to always be the same thing. Bouncing off the ropes too, looks funny. Almost like they need to loosen the tension so the women can actually bounce into them rather than just right-off them.

[Emperor Smeat]

Charlotte really should have spent a couple more weeks training and getting used to being in a ring again since she's somehow managed to get worse after returning from her break and not simply because of ring rust issues.

Glory days of my fandom. Had to convince my mom to let me stay up to watch Raw in these days. Sometimes I had to film it and watch it before school the next day. I mean what's the difference if I go to sleep at 10pm or if I wake up at 5am to watch Raw? Either way I'm missing an hour of sleep.

Must have missed that episode of OVW television he put that on.

There’s a difference between having fetishes and hiring people based on it to do problematic shit no one wants to see.

Cornette is, unsurprisingly, really showing himself up on this one. He's admitted that he doesn't know who Maki Itoh is beyond Twitter and has no interest in finding out, and he's accused KENTA of being a "spot monkey" that no one in the US will have heard of. Yet people will still consider him an "expert" despite repeatedly showing that he doesn't have a fucking clue what he's talking about.

Another classic example of someone missing the point. Who the fuck is Maki Itoh and why would anyone who follows WWE or even AEW in the US know anything about her? And who the fuck would know who KENTA is from the same pool? Did he ever work on Raw or SmackDown?

These wrestlers ARE obscure. There’s no way around it. About 300k people in the WORLD have New Japan World. In the WWE he appeared almost exclusively on WWE Network shows, which means under 1 million people. Who would even know how to see Maki Itoh? I don’t fucking know and I am OBSESSED with wrestling.

But yes, all 850k people who were watching basic cable and saw a purple-haired Japanese dude do a shitty version of CM Punk’s finisher know the history and origin behind the move. It certainly didn’t make any of them think “Man, I miss CM Punk.” You. Fucking. Idiot.

Omega books more Japanese women? Surely it can't have anything to do with the fact that he's followed the joshi scene extensively as a professional wrestler spending years in Japan and he's worked with many of them. Must be a fetish!

If you cannot see how a Japanese woman in a school girl’s outfit saying “I am the queen of piss” is not fetishistic, then you are beyond gone. There’s so much problematic shit in Japan. It goes beyond “different cultures.” It’s not racist or kink-shaming to point out the exploitation there.

But I’m sure Omega just thinks they’re all neato workers. ;)

It always comes down to odd timing, or "stutter-steps" in the ring. Seems to always be the same thing. Bouncing off the ropes too, looks funny. Almost like they need to loosen the tension so the women can actually bounce into them rather than just right-off them.

I REALLY noticing the pacing thing with Riho. She was so tiny that it would take her more steps to get across the ring than other people. I can only imagine how that would throw off someone’s timing in the ring, but it just sounded weird.

[Vastardikai]

I mean, think of how squick it is when folks bring up stuff like Cuties. Or Child Beauty Pageants. Or Dance Moms. Think about the backlash when Izzy the Superfan got chokeslammed by Effy in a match.

Now, just imagine if there were all female promotions in the US that featured girls Izzy's age in under card matches. And the Audience watching these contests were primarily men. The moral outrage would be through the roof. Unless TLC got a hold of the TV rights, then it'd be a ratings smash for them.

The thing I just described? That's Joshi Wrestling. It's also why the fanbase of New Japan has resisted efforts to bring Joshi stars into the company, because there are a great number of female fans that don't want to be around perverts. And Japan didn't really have much of a "Me Too" movement, let alone a "Speaking Out" movement. Imagine the things that would have come out if it did.

I actually agree with everything you said. Though there was something about Riho that grew on me. I started to prefer her to the majority of the AEW Division except Britt Baker, who is by far the best they have.

That's one thing that's always bugged the shit out of me about women's matches the ropes hardly move when they hit them yet they act like they're being catapulted off them. The 2 exceptions being Jax and Tamina for obvious reason.

The best thing Nia Jax has done is yell about her hole. That's what she'll be remembered for.... and being incredibly unsafe.


Hope it turns into a weekly spot where she yells about it.

I mean, think of how squick it is when folks bring up stuff like Cuties. Or Child Beauty Pageants. Or Dance Moms. Think about the backlash when Izzy the Superfan got chokeslammed by Effy in a match.

Now, just imagine if there were all female promotions in the US that featured girls Izzy's age in under card matches. And the Audience watching these contests were primarily men. The moral outrage would be through the roof. Unless TLC got a hold of the TV rights, then it'd be a ratings smash for them.

The thing I just described? That's Joshi Wrestling. It's also why the fanbase of New Japan has resisted efforts to bring Joshi stars into the company, because there are a great number of female fans that don't want to be around perverts. And Japan didn't really have much of a "Me Too" movement, let alone a "Speaking Out" movement. Imagine the things that would have come out if it did.


I remember watching the AJPW women in the 80s and all you could hear is a wail of sound coming from young female fans. It's nothing like I've ever heard before.

Jim Ross was using the term Sports Entertainment well before 1989 in the NWA, and the WWF was using it in 84 before the Championship Wrestling credits..

Here's them using it in 1985

Pity Sid never really got a final wwe run, that leg injury basically killed him off the for "big leagues" at least. By the time he did return for the Heath Slater thing he was looking much older. :(

Remember when he was being rumoured to have a feud with Cena like 10-12 years ago

Always liked Sids version of the chokeslam before he transitioned to the more standard version. That version made it less obvious the opponent was jumping due to to how it was done.

State of New York is going to start allowing big indoor events to be possible again starting later this month.

Only requirements are no more than 10% venue capacity allowed for attendance and strict COVID-19 protocols have to be followed.

Live pro wrestling events could be returning to the state of New York soon.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced today that large stadiums and arenas, including WWE hosts Madison Square Garden and Nassau Coliseum, will be allowed to re-open for sports and concerts later this month.

There will be a capacity of 10% for these sporting and concert events, and other COVID-19 protocols will be in place to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Any venue that can fit more than 10,000 people will be able to hold events beginning on Tuesday, February 23. The events will be limited to the 10% capacity and must be signed off by the NY Department of Health.

Venues must enforce all COVID-19 safety measures, including mandatory face masks and social distancing, among others. Fans attending the events must show evidence that they have tested negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours prior to the beginning of the event.

There’s no word yet on if WWE is planning to run New York state now that this announcement has been made. Due to the limited capacity, running MSG would mean they could bring in around 2,000 fans, while running the Barclays Center would allow for them to bring in around 1,600 fans, and Nassau Coliseum would allow for around 1,500 fans.

There is also no word on if AEW might consider running events in The Empire State. They had several Dynamite tapings scheduled for the Northeast in early 2020 that had to be nixed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ROH, Impact Wrestling and NJPW could all potentially run venues in New York as well.

The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, which has been WWE’s main home in recent years when running New York City, has already been approved to host a NBA game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Sacramento Kings on that day to kick off the re-openings.

Some venues are being used as mass COVID-19 vaccination sites, such as Yankee Stadium, and state officials will be meeting with venue officials to discuss how they can continue vaccination efforts once sports and concerts come back.

Big rumor going around the television & media industry hints that a potential merger between NBCU (main home of WWE) and WarnerMedia (home of AEW) might be more likely than previously assumed.

Rumors of this potential merger date back to early 2020 but NBC has been shopping their Peacock streaming service to other notable players in the streaming market in hopes of forging a deal that would make Peacock a lot more competitive against Disney+ and Netflix.

They already tried to pitch a deal with ViacomCBS but got rejected.

Also NBC's Peacock sub base is supposedly very deceptive since out of the 33 million total subs, only about a third of them are monthly pay subs that use the service regularly.

Only issue is any potential merger deal between NBC and WarnerMedia likely wouldn't happen until next year at the earliest according to industry experts.

The biggest hurdle a merger between NBCUniversal and WarnerMedia would face is either NBC or CBS has to collapse or remain separate. The only reason Disney didn't acquire Fox Sports and FOX Broadcast Network in that merger was bc of anti-trust laws since they already owned ESPN and already owned a broadast network in ABC and it'd give them a monolopy.

Wait, never-mind, Viacom owns CBS
