2019 Pro Wrestling thread

Y2J’s commitment to kayfabe, saying this was recorded days before he was attacked but he needs to air it as a journalist even if hes mad at Moxley, is everything

 

I'm a Bret Hart mark, however, I have tremendous respect for what Jericho has done in his career. I believe that Bret Hart is still the all-time best Canadian wrestler ever - anyone here believe that Jericho is?

 

Contrast the demeanor of Dean Ambrose on Stone Cold's Podcast (which happened long before all the recent crap affected his decision to not renew) vs. Jon Moxley on this podcast.

Night and day difference.

 

I find myself contrasting Dean’s demeanor with CM Punks. Dean’s honest, he’s brutally cutting the company, but hes also not bitter, like at all.

Its an incredibly compelling listen.

 

Wife-still-works-there effect? Had AJ Lee left WWE already when Punk went on Cabana's podcast?

Either way, you're right ... a scathing, valid criticism of how his character was handled without taking potshots (or at least not many ... the Brock line was good). The bridge was not burned.

 

I cant remember. I think she was still there. I guess they didnt fire Dean on his wedding day. But Punk is so bitter, Dean comes off the same way Cody does: loves wrestling, wants it to be great.

Dont know how many of you guys are still in the SJ biz, but hearing Dean and Jericho talk about how a company can make you not want to do everything you wanted since you were a kid..... damn I know the feeling. Wish journalism had an AEW.

 

Gene Kiniski may have a gripe.

 

His build up seems pretty steady from 1955 on, heading into 1966. Shire, Tunney, Muchnick seemed to have liked him very much, too.

 

Iron Mike Sharpe might smack you with a loaded forearm for that statement.

 

For some reason I saw Kiniski and read "Snitsky."
