2021 Pro Wrestling Thread

Interesting.

 

This is great:

 

Gotta imagine one of two things: Kenny wins to continue AEW looking good in this partnership, or Callis turns on Kenny because he was an Impact mole this whole time.

 

She deserves it ... clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

Before today's announcements, I was wondering if they were going to have a new class of inductees or just focus on 2020.

The top inductee has to be Undertaker, for all they played things up with him the last year. Can't really peg any other inductees (especially because Christian is probably persona non grata right now), but I'd love to see Shad Gaspard get the Warrior Award.

 

I'd love to see William Regal in the next class, too. Maybe Kane if they'd do Kane and Undertaker in the same class, but I would think they'd save Kane for another year. Owen Hart would be great, but he probably won't get in until his wife dies. Goldberg? I could see them doing one of Sid Vicious, Vader or King Kong Bundy, who should all be in at some point. For tag teams, I could see them do the Steiner brothers now that Rick's son has signed with NXT. Could have him induct his dad or Booker T do it.

 

Goldberg was already inducted, in 2018.
King Kong Bundy and his estate have been involved in the concussion lawsuit against WWE, so even though he deserves it it's doubtful he'd be picked any time soon.
They could dip into the Legacy selections to give some of those folks proper inductions rather than lumping them all into one group. Some of the early champions like Ivan Koloff and Stan Stasiak still aren't in. Sid appears to be the only former retired champion from 1980 onward who is not in.
I also still believe wholeheartedly that they should induct a longtime jobber or two like Mike Sharpe or Steve Lombardi.

Honestly, I thought this would be a perfect year to do something unique and have the Undertaker as the only member of the Class of 2021. Let him go in alone, and then they could fill the rest of the ceremony with the 2020 inductees who didn't get their moment last year. Gives them the opportunity to still have a full HOF ceremony, hit pause on the rapid-fire inductions that are eating away at the number of worthy candidates, and give the 2020 inductees their due without cluttering it up with another full class.

 

I totally forgot Goldberg got inducted. I like the idea of a single inductee. The only other time there's been a single one, I believe, was Andre the Giant in the first year. I'd love to see them put a jobber in at some point, too. Barry Horowitz would be another good one for that.

 

Gotta collect some belts if you're to be taken seriously as a belt collector.

 

Ugh. So instead of NXT seeking its revenge against Raw for screwing over Kai/Gonzalez, they just tuck their tails between their legs and create their own tag belt?

Remember a couple years ago when NXT was held up so highly against the main roster at Survivor Series? Yeah, that was nice.

 

This is hilarious. Somehow, the arena audio from the Spurs-Mavs basketball game is being played over the Dynamite telecast right now.

 

Now we've got "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" being played in the Ethan Page match.
