Wrestling Thread 5: FKA The Viking Experience • Page 248

From Meltzer:

 

Also says that people in WWE think LAX will be starting in September, but "those close to the two" say AEW. Honestly, I don't care either way, that's how good I think they are/how much they've grown on me through the feud with Lucha Bros.


Also says Johnny Mundo is leaning in neither direction, but maybe towards being an actor

 

old jersey would wear that Roman/Taker shirt

 

Bro I haven't bought a WWE shirt since 2011

 

Being the Elite tells me they hear fans loud and clear on the comedy stuff being terrible. pointless to act like we can predict the future after two shows.

really what im worried about is the finish to Rhodes/Bucks. match should be amazing and if they ruin it with Spears interference or something itll be a bad look

they haven't really given us that "sports presentation" vibe they have leaned hard on

 

Oh boy!

 

It's shit like this which makes GCW my favorite promotion. Sure, it's not going to be a five star classic. But the fact that they booked it just makes me happy.

 

I just cannot stand Mance Warner

 

is his gimmick just a more redneck stone cold?

 

His gimmick is that he's a dumb hick who fights

 

The worst thing he could do is come back to WWE. There's already 2-3 of him in NXT, and about a half dozen of him on the main roster. He'd get buried so fast.

He could work as filler for a couple of years in AEW; him v Jericho, him v Page, him v Omega, etc would all work. And in both of his last companies he's been the perfect heel for faces to get over.

 

MMA great Ken Shamrock starts bare-knuckle boxing promotion

 

I'm not an MMA fan at all and this probably won't be that good...but it's the world's most fucking dangerous man so I'm intrigued.

 

this is pretty darn funny

 

lol

 

God JR's podcast with Conrad Thompson is pure gold. I could listen to JR explain the ins and outs of WWE/WCW/NWA all day long. He shits on Vince a lot too which is great. Doesn't feel phoned in like Bruce Pritchard and it doesn't have all the stupid jokes like the Bischoff podcast.

 

the "if ___ was a title who would be champion?" Is the funniest ever bit on wreddit

 

I bet he brought his cat too

 

Unless he wants to get overpaid to work house shows

 

Fight for the Fallen card is HERE

I'll get the Extreme Rules one up sometime tomorrow and quote this post for those that missed it. Both scores will be combined together in the end so don't forget to fill out both.

 

Excited for a weekend of good wrestling shows (well probably just a few good matches on Extreme Rules)

 

Filled out that AEDub card even though I know next to nothing. I picked Cross Rhodes as the spot monkey because that’s literally the only move I know by any of those guys
