SSBG has been near death so many times that I'll see it when I believe it.

Word on the street is that Jesse Ventura and Hulk Hogan are frantically searching for breathing machines as we speak.

Has Nash ever talked about this in a shoot interview?

You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if the blood landed exactly where it was supposed to and Nash just didn't want to do it.

Apparently the crowd got splattered too though. And once they missed even worse and got the crowd entirely.

Sounds like he’s gone now :(

That era is quickly fading away. The first 6 WWWF champions have passed on. Backlund is #7.

Thinking about the episode of Nitro in 1999 when Brian Knobbs vs. Bam Bam Bigelow where Bam Bam lost via count out in a Falls Count Anywhere match

That's Nasty, Baby!

Apparently it was announced back in February and I just never bothered reading the fine print on my bill but NBC Universal is no longer offering free Peacock to Xfinity customers effective June 26th. Current Xfinity customers will be given a 2-month window to subscribe for a discounted rate of $3/month for a year and new subscribers will get a 6-month free trial.

Obviously this impacts all Xfinity users who effectively were given "free" access to WWE PPVs, albeit at the cost of an already bloated cable bill. Considering I've had so much of the old WWE Network archives available for me to access for the last couple of years, I basically never used the service because it was horrendous to navigate.

That's one of those "it only makes sense to Russo" moments that make him the punchline that he is.

Random thought: I'm 88p sure there is a poster on here who has a gif of Shinsuke Nakamura saying "I have a black belt in professional wrestling" as their sig but I don't remember which poster.

Is this a real thing or no?

Jordan X?

I know it’s frowned upon to “BUT WWE” here but Vince booked a Hell In The Cell match to end by DQ…

Lance Storm is a great Twitter follow

Was that the Mankind vs. Kane one? That was fucking stupid.

Mankind and Kane in '98 being allowed to go all out in an actual match in the Cell would've been a brutal outing that we probably would still be talking about today. Mick was fucking insane back then.

He referring to the one between Seth Rollins and The Fiend.

Oh, that must've occurred after I stopped watching. I'd have remembered something like that. Sounds just as stupid all the same.

You are a lucky man.

Lol every time I think about this gimmick I smile. He was obviously so uncomfortable.

I remember Storm admitting that he and Val Venis considered politicking for a spot in the 4-way tag at Mania 20 after having been bumped to Heat the year before. Jindrak and Cade were in the 4-way despite being brand new to the roster and though Vince was high on them, they weren’t going over and he believes Vince had a soft enough spot for respected veterans that they could’ve gotten their spot if they’d lobbied for it.

In the end feels they did the “right thing” by not trying to force their way on, but not ever having a main card Mania match definitely is something that bothered him.

Interesting. How long is the list of respected guys that worked WWE that never had a main card Mania match?

I'm just glad the world got to see Danny Basham perform at WrestleMania.

I think I would rather get hit by a Toyota than get put in that Boston Crab by Toyota.

Lmao in 1987! Beefcake had been wrestling for a decade by then.

That’s a Spinout Butterfly Driver. Obviously.

this is why I love watching Bryan & Vinny clips :lol:

zero crowd reaction on raw for ronda having another boring ass title reign
