Thinking about someone invading Jungle Boys treehouse now.

That would be comedy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Rey’s was fine. The biggest problem is that there was a cameraman there. Angie opening the door and telling Dom and Rhea to leave and then Rey coming down and adjusting his mask because he heard what was going on was a nice little touch.

[Vastardikai]

It could be directed by Martin Scorsese himself. Home invasions in wrestling will still always be dumb.

Home invasions only really work in select circumstances. This was one of the best.

[Bad News Gertner]

This might be the most "wtf" deep dive I've done

I went and watched every episode of the AWA Team Challenge Series

used to love seeing managers//refs//extra people get involved in matches like that.


I remember being stoked to see The Fink get in the ring. One of the last RAW shows I went to, I yelled out to him "FINK!!! You're the man!" or something.


Very humble dude. He acknowledged, saluted and said thank you. Tried to start a Fink chant, but people were a buncha pussies.

[Bad News Gertner]

He did commentary on some 1984 House Shows and he was excellent

[Mr. Nerfect]

The promo is obviously OTT and ridiculous, but it’s pretty fucking great content-wise. We may have missed out on a bunch of Fink greatness with him being “just” the greatest ring announcer of all-time.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I remember an angle they did on SmackDown where Howard Finkel was mad at Tony Chimel for taking his spot on SmackDown. Fink came down, called Chimel a gay slur and forcefully took the spot back.

[LibSuperstar]

Wish I could hear it. On another note, I'm watching the inaugural Survivor Series and I'm up to the Women's match. I don't see Velvet McIntyre and Rockin' Robin mentioned often.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Was pleasantly surprised that Ricochet got to advance in the World Cup. Santos Escobar vs. Ricochet will be a fun match. Since the winner is getting Gunther, it would make sense to put Ricochet and good ol’ U-S-of-A over, but I’m low-key hoping for Santos to win and a short little Imperium/LDF program.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Braun & Ricochet would make a fun big man/little man tag team for a spell. Maybe they could face The Usos on Raw 30th or the first SmackDown of 2023 or something? Rumble isn’t out of the question if they have too many guys they want to spotlight in the actual Rumble.

[Bad News Gertner]

Here's some Fink on commentary if you're curious.

Just keeps teeing up Gorilla for wrestlers insight. Tremendous work

He legit looks in great fucking shape too. I'd say he looks 69 but it's a healthy 69--unlike many of his contemporaries.

Eh, I wouldn’t say I was thrilled. I’m not worried for Steamboat’s life in the same way I was for Flair. But I’m pretty sure Steamboat was told never, ever to do this again.

He looks like a healthy grandpa. He’s been putting up those Christmas lights every year so you don’t worry about him getting up on the ladder.

Honestly, he's never seemed the type to do something stupid. I'm sure the old wrassler inside of him is down for squeezing out those last paydays. And if it was cool for Terry Funk to do it, then so it should be for Ricky. Plus, Steamboat's always struck me as a guy who wouldn't do it if he didn't think he'd do alright.

I think he would have been more safe about it than Ric Flair. I don’t know how advised any of it could be though. I hope he did get something out of it. I’m sure he got paid. Ricky’s always been a money-oriented guy.

I will not comment on Tony Khan's efed days, because it clearly sucked (audience of 3? GTFO!)

What I will state is that Brian Last is absolutely correct: the G.I. Joes were the best figures for wrestling. Even better than actual wrestling figures from that time.

What was Japan Hogan's deal anyway? Was he too old and body broken to keep that style going, or was it just not what put asses in seats back then? Watching that clip is some of the more impressive in-ring shit i've seen from him.... ever.

Yeah like what the fuck. Some of the shit I saw in that video I'd tell someone they were out of their fucking mind if they told me Hogan either

A) Sold like that

B) Did moves like that

[Evil Vito]

I mean Hogan was trained by Hiro Matsuda. He was always capable of working like that.

But he didn't have to.

[drave]

Eh, that doesn't really add anything though.


"He didn't have to". Meh.

[LibSuperstar]

Different promotions have different presentations. Working is about getting the audience to respond to you. And fans of different promotions might get engaged by different things.

[Evil Vito]

Eh, that doesn't really add anything though.


"He didn't have to". Meh.

Not sure what you wanted me to say though. He became the biggest star in the industry on promos, mannerisms, Hulking up, punches, bodyslam, leg drop. He didn't have to have a physically demanding in-ring style to succeed for the bombastic audiences the WWF had in the '80s. Being a larger than life character was more important than being a skilled in-ring technician.

Matsuda would've never recommended him to WWF in the first place if he couldn't work a lick. In an alternate universe where Vince or US promotions "didn't see anything" in Hogan or whatever, dude has a next level legendary gaijin run in Japan.

[Bad News Gertner]

Vito's right. WWF fans just wanted to see Hogan do his poses, sell for a monster heel, Hulk up and drop the leg. He was the company's cash cow. No need to risk Hogan getting hurt doing something unnecessary.

Hogan was actually having really fun brawls up until Wrestlemania 3. Then you got formulaic Hogan.

[drave]

That's all very wank.

[Maluco]

Most wrestling fans are not there for the wrestling. They are there for the soap opera. Big stars involved in compelling stories. Charisma and star power are way more important than in ring product.

It doesn’t matter how fast and technical the wrestling gets in AEW, they will always have about 800k fans who love that shit. While the majority, who want the stars and coherent stories, will stay away.

Hogan knew how to work a crowd, no one wanted to see him put Earthquake in an arm drag toe hold. There is no money in the US in that kind of wrestling.

Even someone like Kurt Angle. He was so over and such a star because of his personality and character work. Being such a good wrestler was only a small part of his overall package.

Austin and Rock were as punch kicky as possible at their very peak, no one cared, and most don’t even remember the Benoit/Angle clinic on the same card at Mania 17. Big story and stars win out every single time.

[Maluco]

Even Hart and HBK. They were popular less so because they were such good wrestlers and more because they were both excellent story tellers. Both were so capable of investing you in their matches and making you care. They lacked the star power, but they had the story and the emotion.

It’s the same logic that tells you why Sami Zayn is the most talked about guy in wrestling right now and that fan interest peaked in AEW when they smelled a genuine story with emotion and heat brewing.

Only the same 700-800k care about Elite vs Death Truangle for the 10th time.

This was my takeaway. Cannot recall him even doing it but he was very much in the role of JTTS when I first got into wrestling but I don’t think I’ve seen a safer and smoother buster.

On ROH media call Tony Khan said he has secured a tv deal for ROH on their own streaming service, Honor Club. Fans will be able to watch ROH for $10 a month. He will announce more information at a later date.

He said he expects this streaming deal to help ROH grow their audience and attract more eyeballs.

Let me guess:

1. After Starks, MJF is gonna have a program with Castagnoli to unify the AEW and ROH Titles.

2. Joe is just going to stop randomly carrying the ROH TV Title to the ring.

3. Rosa upsets Athena. Rosa then gets rolled up and fasted counted by the Arachnid Woman, who is revealed to be Britt Baker. Britt then feuds with Jaime, but the ROH Women's title is seen as more prestigious.

4. ROH Tag belts fall off the face of the earth, for some reason.

5. Orange Cassidy joins the never ending Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia feud. Why? Who Knows? Who cares?

6. The Embassy lose the ROH Six Man Titles to the House of Black, because the Bucks refuse to work against a team of Hosses. House of Black face the Bucks and Omega in a best of 39 series that never reaches a conclusion, because AEW loses their TV due to lack of ratings.

Just my opinion - but both HHH/TK struggle with some booking:

TK is not good at striking while the iron is hot/consistently putting people on TV

HHH, if someone is not naturally charismatic, struggles to present them to a wider audience with a defined character.

"Oh, I meant it," Ross said. "I just don't believe that's how you repay somebody for their kindness. Here's a guy that was out of a job, [and] had a young family. I hired him as my number two guy in my department, and how it ended up was typical chickensh*t pro wrestling. ... Look, if the guy is a better manager than me, and he signed more stars than I, then so be it. I don't believe that to be accurate. His goal was, like a lot of the boys, to get close to the boss."

[Evil Vito]

Even though Vince technically does have the ability to re-appoint himself as chairman since he's the majority shareholder, the majority shareholder has a fiduciary responsibility to the minority shareholders to act in "good faith and inherent fairness".

In other words, if he comes back and the stock promptly tanks amid the controversy, he's opening himself up to lawsuits from the minority shareholders. Majority shareholders can and have been successfully litigated by the minority when it was decided the majority didn't act in the best interest of the entire shareholding.

Can't really imagine anybody close to Vince actually telling him it would be a good idea to return.

[Evil Vito]

Maybe it's just an ego thing and Vince wants to be responsible for killing his own creation. Wouldn't be the first time.

A personal insult doesn't change the fact that Jim Ross has no concept of the pot and the kettle.

He is mad Big Johnny became better friends with Vince McMahon than he was. Instead of just saying that, he tried to justify his jealousy by mocking somebody who tries to befriend their boss, while he himself has done the same thing his entire career.

I loved Umaga. So good.

I have always wanted to watch the Lucha Underground stuff, anyone know where to watch it in the UK (for free would be perfect).

going to a show on 12/16 with a "fans bring the presents" (weapons) match. think i am going to get a wiffle ball bat, wrap it up in some xmas light necklackes, maybe some silver garland, maybe a star on top, and glue a bunch of thumbtacks all over it.

Nice @ ron

the thumbtacks flew EVERYWHERE. i didn't feel so bad about it after seeing the finish of the match involved tacks anyway.

I'd like to see an "I quit" match where the face steals the heels phone and threatens to leak his DMs in order to win the match.

I obviously get the love for Steiners vs jobbers but for me nothing beats The Steiners basically having a dick measuring contest with another team of brutes.

That suplex at 1.05... Jesus. Not sure if its the camera angle or legit attempted murder.

that video is shit. there are better ones, just thought it was funny, here's his "official report"


​
Long Description of Sighting Report - Case 127510
I work at Sapphire Las Vegas Gentlemen's Club and several of us saw a UFO hovering over our club for an hour. It was slightly above the clouds. I saw it, my co-workers saw it, customers saw it, and people walking The Strip saw it. You can also contact me through my Twitter u/TheRealDisco (https://old.reddit.com/u/TheRealDisco). I'm a former professional wrestler. Here are some links below where you can see the craft and I talk about it in more detail.

I like how he had to throw in “I’m a former pro wrestler” so that when people click his profile and see his picture they may not immediately dismiss him as a crazy person.
