Sara Del Ray in Ring of Honor. She's a fantastic wrestler.

Triple H having daughters has probably helped too. He wants Aurora-Rose to be able to main event a Mania someday.

Well, his strengths involve capitalizing on almost accidental murder. He should be avoided.

I've been listening to the Solomonster Sounds Off podcast lately. I generally agree with a lot of his views. Also gave a few episodes of the Stick to Wrestling podcast a listen. Does anyone else have any wrestling podcasts they like to listen to? I'm looking for some new stuff. Prefer fan podcasts or more analytical things. Don't really like listening to wrestlers interview each other that much. Unless there is a really good one I am forgetting?

Stick to Wrestling is 1/2 good. John McAdams sounds great. Sean Goodwins has had some bad audio issues on his end.

It's no Breaking Kayfabe with Bowdren and Barry. (great one)

Are you missing the 605 Superpodcast, THE MOTHERSHIP?

John McAdam is one of my favourite people to listen to..

SlickyTrickyDamon, check out his three part Boston Garden series with Kris Zellner's Exile on Badstreet podcast. Really great.

Sean Goodwin makes the podcast borderline unlistenable. He keep shouting into the mic like he has autism or something.

Between the Sheets is the best wrestling podcast around. Hands down. This weeks episode is unbelievable.

So I passed out at around 10 last night and woke up at 5 30am. Nothing to do, so I decided to watch something from my collection for the first time in a while. Watching the November 26th, 1984 MSG show. Love 1984 so much. Midway through the show. So far the matches have been:

-SD Jones over Charlie Fulton in an alright match

-Moondog Spot over Jose Luis Rivera in a squash

-Bobby the Brian Heenan! over Salvatore Bellomo in a match that sounds way more interesting on paper than it was.

-King Kong Mosca over Mr.Fuji by dq in a match that can only be described as a miracle

-Cowboy Bob Orton over Swede Hanson in a bleh match

Tonga Kid /w/a returning Jimmy Snuka vs Roddy Piper/w/ Cowboy Bob Orton is next.

Crowd is INSANE for this match. Tonga Kid (Tama from Islanders) was so bloody over and he's only 18 years old here. Too bad he got a big head and started no showing events. What a waste of talent. Match ends in a double dq when Orton and Snuka get involved. Legit 4 star match. Next month they come back with Snuka and Tonga Kid vs Piper and Orton, which sadly signals the end of Jimmy Snuka being a pushed guy.

IIRC, she was offered a spot in the women’s battle royal at Mania and she turned it down. They were using NXT women to fill out the match and she didn’t want to take a spot away from any of her trainees.

My guess is it's his twin brother IIRC

nm Haku went by King Tonga

Fucking Tongans. Show a little more originality.

"In 1982 Tonga Kid and King Tonga were flanked by their cousin, Tonga Guy"

Tonga Kid was way better than Haku.

He's 18 in this match.

Just sent him this post. Might want to change addresses ASAP.

Luckily I'm a masked poster so he'll never discover my true identity.

Maybe that's the real reason why Triple H is so behind the Women's Division now?

He wants Aurora to main event WrestleMania and be the face of the company but he doesn't want her rise to the top to be seen as being because of who her mother and father are, kinda like how people said that Triple H's main event run between 2002-2005 was because he was "married to the boss' daughter".

With Triple H doing what he's doing now with the Women's Division, when Aurora's time comes and she's the top name in the company, nobody can really say that it's because of who her family are because Triple H can just say "but women have been main eventing shows for years!" and so on.

Also, to most people, they won't even think twice about it because it'll be normalised by that time to see a female main event shows and be advertised and being one of the big major names in the company.

Thought this was your Raw/SD Review :(

Not so many images and gifs this week.

Raw:

• Raw is in Oakland, Ca and the first match is Rob Van Dam vs X-Pac and Oakland really seem to hate X-Pac.

Their chant of "X-Pac Sucks" was probably one of the loudest chants of the night. It was pretty loud.

• A shoot promo by Vince now and he's talking about Austin walking out and the crowd is chanting "What!?" after every single thing Vince says. I actually forgot how annoying the "What!?" chants were but the funny thing is that at the time, I don't really remember finding the "What!?" chants annoying.

I also lost count how many times Vince said that Austin helped build the company.

Vince then acts like Steve Austin has died by toasting him and leaving the can in the middle of the ring.

https://i.postimg.cc/xCXVTFb9/z1.png

• Jeff Hardy vs Raven now and this match is happening because of what happened on Heat last week when both men had a match and Jeff got himself disqualified because he choked Raven with a camera cord.

I remember those days when Heat actually mattered and it just wasn't a glorified Raw Recap show that it eventually became.

It was also good to see Raven have a match. I always liked Raven.

• Booker T and Goldust backstage now and Goldust can actually do a pretty decent stereotypical English accent.

Also, we see the boom mic in shot.

https://i.postimg.cc/zf5fv5J8/z2.png

• Chris Nowinski's debut vs Spike Dudley which he won.

• Flair is in the ring cutting a promo and Austin's music plays which makes the crowd go mad. It quickly changed to Eddie's theme which makes the go a different kind of mad.

Eddie says he was scheduled to face Austin at King of The Ring but I didn't know this as it was never actually announced on TV.

Thinking about it now, I actually would have liked to have seen that match.

• Vince is backstage and Chris Nowinski comes into the room to introduce himself. He basically just lists off everything he's done at Harvard. Tony Garea then calls Vince to tell him that "He's on his way" and Vince can only assume that "He" is Austin.

• Trish Stratus & D'Lo Brown vs Crash & Molly Holly was another match taking place because of what happened on Heat last week. Crash challenged D'Lo to a match even though D'Lo was working commentary that night and D'Lo won the impromptu match.

After the replay of what happened on Heat, we had this shot of Trish and Lawler basically said that he would love to get Trish's breasts in his mouth.

https://i.postimg.cc/sx38G6MB/z3.png

During Crash & Molly's entrance, we see a replay of last week on Raw when Molly Holly choked Trish with Trish's own panties. Lalwer does what Lawler does when panties are on screen and JR said to Lalwer that he (Lawler) would love to be in those panties and wear them because "that's the kind of guy he is".

That was not an image anyone wants.

Anyway, D'Lo and Trish won.

• Undertaker vs Matt Hardy was next and during the match Jeff interferes and both Matt and Jeff are attacking Undertaker.

Raven then runs to the ring to save Undertaker from The Hardy Boyz.

That is also a sentence I thought I would never type.

Undertaker & Raven then work together (again, I thought I would never type that) to beat down The Hardys.

• Another "Get The "F" Out" video is played and it was one I don't think I've ever seen. It was about a woman visiting a surgeon.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7sRmYZdKCGo" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This is the only one of the "Get The "F" Out" videos that I have no memory of, so I can only assume it was edited out of Raw & SmackDown for some strange reason when they were shown over here.

• Brock Lesnar vs Booker T is the main event and the only things worth talking about really are Nash & Michaels on commentary with Michaels coming across as a legitimate douche and also this creative but misspelt Booker T sign.

SPOILER: show

• Vince is in the ring and calls out Austin but Tony Garea runs out and tells Vince that "He" is not Austin.

Vince then asks who "He" is and The Rock's music hits and the crowd goes wild.

The Rock cuts a promo basically saying that he's back a month early because Austin walked out.

SmackDown:

• Just like Raw last week. This weeks SmackDown is "flipped".

• Kurt Angle kicks the show off with a promo.

https://i.postimg.cc/zf6p1dwm/z4.png

Also, doesn't the smiling guy in the glasses look like TPWW Legend, Xero?

• The first match of the night is Rikishi vs Christian and Rikishi wins but Christian's foot was on the rope and the referee didn't see it and this makes Lance Storm come out to complain to the referee.

A break finishes and Lance Storm is with Christian in the ring and he has a mic. Storm cuts your basic Anti-American promo and this promo is pretty much the beginning of The Un-Americans.

• Triple H is being interviewed and decides to break the fourth wall.

SPOILER: show

During the interview, he makes more gay jokes about Billy & Chuck.

• Jamie Noble vs Billy Kidman is next and it's a Number One Contenders Match for the Cruiserweight Championship.

Before the match, we found out that Nidia wears Hurricane's mask (which she stole last week) over her own underwear.

Noble won the match and Hurricane attacked him from behind and took his mask back.

• During the Billy/Triple H match, Tazz said the word "ass" but he wasn't censored, however, whenever wrestlers say ass during promos either backstage or on the mic, the word is censored.

• During this exchange, Tazz reminded of Simple Fan:

Michael Cole: What's gonna happen on Raw this Monday night live from Cleveland the night after King of the Ring!?
Tazz: I don't know. I work for SmackDown, that's my concern.

• Backstage, Stacy Keibler brings in Finlay and Big Johnny who look like some kind of office tag team.

https://i.postimg.cc/pXB9jqdD/z5.png

Vince asks them to each bring Undertaker and Kurt Angle to him and later they're all talking and it leads to a fight with Vince getting caught in the middle of Angle and Undertaker.

Finlay and Big Johnny then pull Angle away and out the room.

I actually found the fight a bit funny when Angle gets pulled off Undertaker and Vince is still rolling around on top of Taker, who is trying to get up and you just hear Undertaker say "Vince, get off me!" and then the look on Vince's face as he rolls off of Taker.

SPOILER: show

In case you miss it in the gif, here is Vince's face:

SPOILER: show

• I'll leave you now with a random sign from one of the two shows, with it being one from Raw aimed at Brock Lesnar.

I was actually just reading it over when you posted that.

Apparently WWE bought a few special emojis on Twitter for tonight's Evolution event. Problem is not only did it give away the main event of the show, it also showed they only care about the main event and nothing else.

#WWEEvolution, #RondaRousey and #NikkiBella got the special treatment while everything else tonight got ignored.

Stone Cold Becky threw a little shade at the WWE because of it afterwards.

Nikki Bella wins the main event.

I'm glad people are going after this company. They get away with so much because no one gives them the time of day, but hopefully some of this coverage gets people to take notice and eventually affects their stock price and business relationships.

Beck as WWE Champion... I'd take him over a few options.

AJ Styles made their fake commercial! He's officially big time now!

Cody Rhodes , Young Bucks and CM Punk randomly show up on RAW.

Feel like Raw will have a bump in the ratings tonight due to Roman being out and a low rated MNF game. I wonder which of those 2 are going to bring in more viewers.
