Vince seriously wanted to call Wrestlemania....Colossal Tustle?

 

[HazySaiyan]

I expect a classic match from Okada v Shibata and will be let down by anything less

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

they should ease up on the tanning spray in WWE. Triple H was very orange-y tonight, like he was cosplaying Trump. and Maryse last week on SD was so yellow, I thought she has hepatitis

even braun was looking tan AF

 

[Striker]

Someone pointed out to me how much Charlotte looks like Cadence Lux and now I can't stop thinking about it.

Charlotte's similar in the face, but nowhere close for the booty.

I see NCAA basketball's ratings are highest in 24 years. I thought WWE's ratings were down because of Youtube tho.

So wrestlemania weekend ...

Wrestlemania (33) |OT| Ultimately, The Thrill Died

 

[Foggy]

It's kind of crazy to think that within the next two or three years, the WWE's main roster women's division will include Asuka, Hojo, and probably Shirai.

It'll be damn near impossible for those three to have bad matches, no matter the opponent.

I can't help but shake my head at this. WWE is already overflowing with remarkable talent but there are still bad matches and bad booking that drag them down in spite of the talent. I don't see how bringing in talented female wrestlers moves the needle that much. It'll probably be a net positive, but relative to what they could contribute? Especially when the version of them that you're getting is not the version that they are today.

I can get behind this one.

 

[klonere]

Austin and Adam Cole talking about how blading is far safer than a ton of modern wrestling tropes, how blood is a tool that should be used in certain feuds to make it believable at some level and a big rant about certain wrestlers are booked to "underdog themselves to death".

I want that alternate future where Austin doesn't burn out of wrestling so hard

Spoiler

or beat Debra

and somehow becomes a top creative figure.

 

[kiguel182]

Can't believe people still pop that hard for Taker. The dude looks terrible these days.

"the ultimate thrill ride" is such a old man WWE management tag line.


Its meant to be exciting and attention grabbing but it just sounds like someone in their 70's came up with it and feels oddly dated.

[slightconfuse]

In a different world Austin, Scott hall and Jake would book wwe

 

[Zach]

I really hope she makes it out of this...

That's terrible.

I kind of like the bolded.

I hate the whole roller coaster thrill ride marketing.

 

[klonere]

That NXT card is so incredibly tepid.

 

[Jamie OD]

It's in Orlando and it's going to be successful anyway so:

Wrestlemania (33) |OT| Oldest Ride, Longest Line, Woooo!

 

[avengers23]

I'm pretty sure the WrestleCon shows don't make tape, which is too bad. The RevPro show will, at least.

Afternoon Wrasslegaf

Highspots sell the Wrestlecon Super Shows.

 

[avengers23]

Highspots sell the Wrestlecon Super Shows.

Ah. Maybe that's why I never noticed that they were available.

 

[imBask]

Tried watching RAW for the first time since before the Rumble, fell asleep at Charlotte vs whoever

I think I woke up for Jericho but fell asleep again

 

[slightconfuse]

Definitely getting FloSlam those cards look great

That takeover card is something

 

[Aiii]

Tried watching RAW for the first time since before the Rumble, fell asleep at Charlotte vs whoever

I think I woke up for Jericho but fell asleep again

Sounds like time well spend.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Afternoon Wrasslegaf

These words always fuck with me as I read them around 8 in the morning.

 

[imBask]

I think my main complaint is the same one as with NFL games, half the fun is being on here during the show, but the number of commercial breaks is just too much for me it makes the show unwatchable. I either end up being distracted or fall asleep waiting for the ads to end

1pm here though.

Man Raw was shit, I fell asleep.

It is nearly 1 AM here, friend.

I missed an hour of Raw when I got distracted, Pikma told me it was shit so I took a shower and played Yakuza 0.

It is kinda ridiculous this is their build to Mania.

 

[slightconfuse]

Is mania going to have another 40 minute Rock flamethrower segment.

Rowan needs to roll him up this year

 

[Bluekaveli]

All of the HoF shirts this year are awesome

[Beefy]

Brother looked white when he was on the turnbuckle.

 

[avengers23]

PROGRESS and Shimmer are both WWNLive iPPV

But not FloSlam, which muddies the water.

I think Kaiju Big Battel is on WWNLive iPPV as well.

 

[Rimfya]

Ultimate Ill Ride

 

[BronsonLee]

These words always fuck with me as I read them around 8 in the morning.

If we team up we can take him out

Just stumbled across the Stone Cold ET vid again, this will never not be the funniest thing to me.

I fucking hate that loser, he did an FWE show I did production for and his segment was like 20 minutes, 10 of which was him trying to cut a promo through a mask which did not work whatsoever

But not FloSlam, which muddies the water.

I think Kaiju Big Battel is on WWNLive iPPV as well.

k here's the deal:

FloSlam - GCW, EVOLVE, WWN, Beyond
Highspots - All their shit besides CZW
CZW - themselves
CHIKARA - themselves
WWNLive - SHIMMER, Kaiju, PROGRESS

tldr; just give up

 

[Suplexer]

It really feels like Zayn is Vince and the writer's way of expressing their distaste for "Social Justice Warriors", as the commentary team put it in his match last night.

It feels...uncomfortable.
