Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 179

The Corbin/Hardy match...if thats the model...yeah, RAW is gonna be unwatchable.

But Smackdown hasnt had a good idea in months, so hopefully RAW will have a little more going for it + maybe more talent will be in the area

 

MJF was my answer when AEW first started.

 

haha showing the EC match they must be operating on a real skeleton crew

 

Watching this now. Funny there is a ring announcer

edit: This is awkward as hell. I’m not even through the first match yet but I gotta give respect to them for actually wrestling. It’s gotta be hard as a performer for no crowd. And in front of your boss. Like you have to feel stupid doing this almost

 

How did they not at least have a throwaway #1 contender match on tv for Roman to win? Romans music sounds crazy without the “reaction” and Cole talking all over it.

 

Did they call the twist of fate twist of fury or did i mishear that?

 

Apparently Matt and Reby trademarked it

 

here's a wild theory on the fate of mania:

goes on at the PC, (hopefully) testing is improved to where (with oversight) events of ~100ish people can go on, they have a crowd at the PC, and it's aired on FOX because the nation will be starved of live entertainment

 

I thought something similar yesterday and if getting people in the PC is possible, I think this is best case scenario.

 

I wanna see Cena go full Nick Gage. Just covered in blood and busting light tubes everywhere.

 

I’m watching no holds barred with my girlfriend and today I learned Tiny Lister who played Zeus was ranked as No. 500 on PWI’s 1991 top wrestlers list lol. Were there only 499 wrestlers?!

 

Also I wanted to look up the wrestlers besides stan Hansen that we’re in the movie and there’s a guy named Jeep Swenson (real life wrestling name) and look at his Wikipedia profile picture. Wtf is happening:

 

this reads like the lead character of an alternate universe's Danny McBride HBO series

 

From San Antonio, instant fan. He’s gotta be as great at Shawn Michaels. And he’s got that photo with two ladies...what’s not to love? Wait, what’s that? Also known as The Final Solution??? Is he a Nazi??

 

If wrestling gets cancelled for a while we should have weekly thread watch a longs of ppvs dan doesnt like

 

Can't Matt Hardy just DELETE corona? :(

 

Have fun watching WWE for the past 3 years

 

Mania needs to get postponed. This is getting ridiculous.

 

I suspect WWE is petty enough to be looking for the same insurance bailout that indie shows need to not go broke. If WWE cancels, they lose their show insurance...if Tampa forces them closed, they get paid.

Which, quite frankly, is also on Tampa. The state of Florida is going to declare the show dead pretty soon at worst, I imagine.

 

this is an awesome list if you are bored

 

Saving that for when I get quarantined
