2018 Pro Wrestling thread

Cannot say I am thrilled about this:

 

What's wrong with Rey? Sure, he's not the same Rey as his heyday, but he should still have some great matches with the likes of Shin, Almas, AJ, Bryan -- so many technicians on SD that'll vibe with Rey.

This isn't like Taker, Kane and HBK hobbling around Raw.

 

I am not a fan since he was pushed down our throats after Eddie passed away. In addition, I really do not see him as others do. He has done nothing for me since he left WCW. If he's getting brought back to put Almas over and make him the next Mexican star the WWE is looking for, then I would not mind that. I just do not want to see him getting a big push.

 

What is the format for the world cup anyway? Is it like a king of the ring where these guys will have multiple matches on the saudi show? Or will we see like Rey vs Jeff in the quarterfinals on TV?

 

I imagine the majority is still no, and it will never happen, however, it's been eleven years since Chris Benoit killed his family. Have you changed your stance on him making the Hall of Fame? Or, is it still a hard no for you guys?

 

Still a hard no. Don't see that ever changing.

 

Barry Horowitz has a better chance of making the Hall of Fame than Chris Benoit. That will be as true in 2048 as it is in 2018.

 

Damn. These "My son/daughter is a WWE superstar" pieces have typically been more light-hearted, but I never knew this about Titus. Conceived when his mom was raped at ELEVEN YEARS OLD. More respect to Titus for what he does through his outreach and charity.

 

Hard no, although as time goes on and understanding of CTE becomes greater, I can see him eventually getting mentioned again.

I read a Vince interview a few years ago, and he essentially said they can't pretend he never existed, but they don't have to celebrate him either.

 

This is just for fun, hopefully I get a few replies. If you could pick three wrestlers of your choice - does not matter which company they wrestle(d) for to be your bodyguards, who would you choose? For me, I would go with:

Andre the Giant
Haku
Ravishing Rick Rude

 

Andre and Haku should be at the top of anyone's list. The real question is who is your third?
I'll go with Harley Race.

 

I got to know Titus - Thaddeus Bullard to his friends - when he was in high school in northern Florida. Really cool dude who overcame A LOT to even have the slightest bit of success. I remember his HS FB coach telling me how proud he was of Thaddeus for just making it to school every day, based on all the crap he endured. To see him now, with ALL the outreach he does, is truly inspiring. One of those people in life you simply can't help but to root for.
