2017 Pro Wrestling Thread

"Voting for my opponent is as painful as pulling teeth! I should know."

 

The debate:

"Please vote for me. My opponent is a terrible man. He's worse than Trump! He buried his brother alive, twice, put his father in cement, got drunk and killed his girlfriend in a DWI, forced another woman to marry him and electrocuted a man's testicles."

"Mr. Jacobs, do you have any rebuttal?"

"I tombstoned Pete Rose straight to hell."

 

He'll show up for the debate 10 minutes late and then make his grand entrance by crawling through a hole in the stage.

 

Maybe if Trump wants us all to say "Merry Christmas," he should send the Christmas Creature after his detractors.

Or maybe send the Unabomb after them...

 

On the Network, there's a Hidden Gems match from early 90s WCW in which Sting goes up against someone named Bruiser Mastino. Guy looks pretty familiar. He got in some offense, too.

 

There also was a Youtube clip, where a couple of radio guys were supposed to have Jacobs on their show. He calls in, they say hello, then they make an Issac Yankem reference. Jacobs politely tells them (paraphrasing here), "Hey guys, thanks a lot, have a good day." and hung up.

The radio guys thought he was joking at first, then realized that he must have gotten pissed at the Yankem reference.

 

Thought Smackdown was pretty good.

Zayn and Owens dogging DB for being "The Authority" was gold.

Jinder challenging Brock at SummerSlam .. There's no way that title's coming off Jinder until after they finish the India tour in December. Should be interesting to see how they play it out with AJ in the mix. No title match? AJ interferes to cost Jinder? I dunno.

I sincerely hope the best for Harper and Rowan's new gimmick. But man ...

 

Even when Glenn was on JR's podcast recently, you could tell he was gnashing his teeth (albeit politely) when Jim briefly mentioned some of his less successful characters.

 

You'd think he be used to it by now, or even laugh about it.

I think some of it is an old-school kayfabe mentality. In which case, instead of running for mayor, he should be living in a funeral home, or something.

Although, it was JR who brought him in as Kevin Nash's replacement as the Fake Diesel, so maybe he's still a little annoyed with him about that.

 

Sami and KO do such a different/better job of dogging on Bryan than Miz did. Maybe not better but....it just feels more credible coming from them. I liked it. Sami's a great heel all of a sudden. Who knew?

 

And you can tell he's having fun being a heel. I'm not sure he's ever been a heel in anything I've ever seen him do.

 

I wish this was real.
