I just watched a random NWA match: Mike Mondo vs. Paul Burchill. In 2025 lol. Both men can still work. Mondo is in tremendous shape and is such a pro. He’d be good for TNA or something.

That was from an R-Truth WWE.com video about "all the Jimmy's he hates". One listed was "Jimmy Uso (Jey's alright)"

that's wild how over they still are, because they were getting huge reactions at WM40.

and LA Knight, but I don't know if he is still *that* over now (haven't watched in a while)

Why is WWE so keen on featuring Trump? You'd think someone with half a brain would be like "Let's not do that".

WWE has always been full of MAGA chuds, usually they do a better job of hiding it though

I dunno Trump and Hogan got showered with boos.

'Member Ron Killings?

Seems the plan there was to hire him back, get rid of everything that made the fans like him, so then they'll be able to fire him again without a huge backlash. Wonder how long they'll wait to do it.

What's new on his character?

I dunno. Guy is in his 50’s. I don’t think the plan was ever to run him like a pack horse. He was featured in the SummerSlam videos about how great WWE is and last we saw him he got a big win.

I can see Brock destroying him after Cena apologizes though lol.

I am watching Extreme Rules 2012 for a Brock/Cena fix. It’s a tremendous show. I really should have appreciated WWE more at the time. It’s weird how similar modern WWE still is. Michael Cole has the same sort of trivia on hand.

Bryan/Sheamus and Brock/Cena are brilliant matches. I haven’t rewatched Punk and Jericho yet. I forgot the whole framing of the feud lol. Jericho is “waging psychological warfare” on Punk after losing to him at Mania. He’s found out why he’s straight-edge and is torturing him by pouring alcohol over him and accusing him of being an addict at heart. It’s hectic lol. Punk pretended to be drunk to mess with Jericho back, then whooped his ass after “passing a field sobriety test.”

Bryan’s heel run with the World Heavyweight Title was so good. His promo on the show where he low-key brags about being a vegan and having a better gut than Sheamus is well done.

I'd wear getting boos in the liberal wasteland of California as a badge of honor.

You do that.

no cause no reason for me to ever be in the CESSPOOL of California

WWE are taking their PLE to ESPN and its direct-to-consumer app in 2026. The deal is said to be $325 million per year. Netflix will retain international rights on PLE and almost all WWE content.

Smackdown was a fun show. Normally it’s my least favorite WWE show of the week, but it was good this week.

I've noticed you will often just say that you watched something and it was good.

Remember when CM Punk was rasslin Dean Ambrose and Phil pinched off a crusty in the ring and the ref picked it up with his bare hand?

R-A-S-S-L-I-N THATS RASSLIN'

It’s crazy that we’re only like 2 years removed from the dirt sheets trying to tell us CM Punk was unprofessional and that major companies should avoid him at all costs. And some people bought it.

now this is the content we need in our algorithms

just trying to do my part bossman

Remember when AEW leaked the footage of the backstage scuffle between CM Punk and Jack Perry at All In and it matched CM Punk’s account of what happened to the point you could play them side-by-side?

It’s really bizarre if you think about it.

Yeah that was pretty bizarre lol. Speaking of all that though, I don't keep up with AEW as much as I used to, but...is Jack Perry gone again? I remember they brought him back with that whole scapegoat persona (which tbf I kinda liked that gimmick for him, thought it worked well) but then....what happened? He's been gone for like 8 or 9 months now. Is he injured or is this just another one of those times where TK just drops something and hopes if he keeps people off screen long enough that they forget about it?

lol imagining a world where Perry ends up feuding with Punk in WWE in a couple years.

When they turned Perry heel, I had the sneaking suspicion he’d be done with wrestling in a few years. He didn’t have the chops to pull it off, but his “friends” still threw him to the wolves by encouraging the heel turn. There’s a lot of sabotage over there. I kind of figured Perry would end up leaving the business bitter, complaining that everyone is an asshole because he can’t pick his friends. We’ll see if that happens.

But yeah, I think he’s gone again. No one really seems to miss him. He isn’t very good. The whole “Scapegoat” thing was weird, because it didn’t really make sense as a gimmick. But he was gone for a long time before that because apparently he was fighting with Tony, but then Tony brought him back. But why exile him in the first place? AEW is just a giant mess lol.

Maybe TK just gave in to pressure from The Bucks? Now he’s just getting paid to sit at home and is probably cool with that, but it doesn’t give the appearance that you back your talent.

It’s crazy that they even tried to make him a big star in the wake of it. He looked like the silliest little bitch coming out of it. Then they were like “he’s going to be a bad ass on our TV.” Lol wut?

If he ever got a shot in WWE (and I don’t know why he would be brought in), I see him as a white meat babyface in a tag team (like he should have been) or as a lackey heel carrying Drew McIntyre’s bags or something.

Wrestlemania 43 in Saudi Arabia!!!! WOOOOOO!!!

Can't wait for Goldberg to be brought of of retirement to rassle in the main event!!!!!

"Goldberg has done it! He beat Jacob Fatu for the WWE title!"

Like, I get it... you're a heartless profit-driven corporation and if someone is gonna roll up to you with a wheelbarrow full of money you aren't going to say no....

But this is a terrible idea. Rumble being there is bad enough.

WWE quasi-announcing WM43 in Saudi Arabia on 9/11 is the least surprising TKO move of all time

Happy 9/11 to the Saudis!

Wonder is Saudi wanted Mania 42 instead, but somebody looked the Roman Numeral for 42 and thought better of it :shifty:

Don’t think Goldberg has wrestled in Saudi Arabia for like 5 years.

But this is Mania baby. They're gonna get who they want.

Goldberg gonna fight Stone Cold Steve Austin in the main event!!!

CM Punk vs Sami Zayn main event would be diabolical

Member when the Saudis demanded Yokozuna and WWE put some random sumo rassler in "The Greatest Royal Rumble" instead? Cause obviously Yoko was unavailable.

fuck both but especially zayn

I think that story is exaggerated. I’m sure the prince was a fan of Yokozuna. Probably knew he was dead.

Would love to see that. Wished it would have happened at some point over the past few years.

SCSA probably didn't want to get injured.

Is Chad Gable injured? Seems like they just randomly replaced him and took him off TV
