2018 Pro Wrestling thread

Watched NXT last night, man, I fricking love Shayna Baszler's theme. It's just the right type of ominous and catchy you need in a tune that has no words.

Speaking of the champ, she gave a pretty damn good promo. Ronda could learn a lot.

 

Rey Mysterio Reportedly Signs 2-Year Deal With WWE

I imagine his firs program will be with Almas. Rey is excepted to return in August.

Thoughts?

 

He and Almas would tear the house down.

 

Maybe "Team Little Big: The Sequel" with Braun?

 

Hopefully Braun throws him like a lawn dart the sequel.

 

I don't know how legit this is but apparently, Vince McMahon is in the process of adding numerous promotions to the WWE Network like Pro Wrestling NOAH, EVOLVE, PROGRESS & ICW. Vince is even looking to buy EVOLVE. As far as I know, EVOLVE isn't doing too well attendance-wise lately so this could almost be a mercy-killing type of thing for them.

 

I think WWE has made it known over the years that it is always willing to buy tape libraries and promotions, since at the very least, 1) it's good content they can use on their various programs, like archival stuff for current stars and 2) the price is a drop in the bucket for WWE.

 

Seems like something Shinsuke could pull off.

 

Random wrestling discussion: would you welcome Hulk Hogan back for a few appearances? Not to wrestle, but to just talk to the fans on a few Raw’s

 

Yes. Just like the role he served before this last brouhaha. I think it's time to let bygones be bygones and return to an ambassador's role.

 

Yes. I think hed be a good gm if he could be on tv every week too

 

I'm not totally sure about that. He served as somewhat of a GM in TNA and ended up overshadowing the other wrestlers. Plus, there's an expectation at some point that GMs get physical and who knows if Hogan can do that.

That being said, I could see him coming back for guest appearances at some point.
