2021 Pro Wrestling Thread

Supposedly, Vince thinks a physical HOF would be a waste of money, because he doesn't think it would be that big a draw. Trips, on the other hand, thinks it would be something fans would like.

I'd think they'd have something as long as they made it interactive. Have video stations where fans can cut promos or broadcast matches. Maybe a special ring with a foam pit so people can pretend they're jumping off the top rope. Maybe an exhibit where fans can climb steps to the exact height of Hell In a Cell and look over to see a sample smashed table with a figure of Mankind to see how high he was when he was thrown off.

 

It's hard to imagine how it -wouldn't- be a draw. Throw it out somewhere with cheap real estate, like the other sports Hall of Fames.

 

Send exhibits on the road as part of major events like Mania

 

And, some more awesomeness.

 

And fuck Chris Benoit one more time.

 

Like anything else in this category, it's about location, scale and the way they present it. Find a good spot in Florida (maybe attach it to the Performance Center), keep it at a decent enough size to make a profit while leaving some room for expansion, and make it a modern pro wrestling museum with tons of interactive exhibits, and you've got something. It might not be a destination on its own, but putting it in a touristy city like Orlando where it can siphon off of other popular attractions could work.
For better or worse, WWE has become the keeper of the industry's history, and it's a job they (especially Triple H) seem to take seriously. It's a shame so much of it is sitting in a warehouse in Connecticut, hidden away from public view.

 

Wonder if the season finale of WWE Treasures will have Triple H trying to retrieve this historic item:

Someone Bought This: Katie Vick's Cheerleader Outfit - WrestleCrap - The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling!

 

Dear God, can someone turn the dial down on Adnan Virk. I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt these last three weeks, but it's becoming painful.

But considering his old agent is now the president of WWE, I don't think we'll see him going anywhere anytime soon.

 

Triple H mortified to see "Katie Vick" in daughter's Google history

 

The Piper Bio was outstanding. Totally different vibe from the Austin show, really cool to see his family and kids. What a great show

 

Guessing AJ and/or Omos contracted COVID if they've been MIA for three weeks now. Same with Truth, who only finally made his return on Raw Talk last night.

 

I have that on the DRV. watched the Austin one last night, thought it was great. I was such a huge fan of his when he was in WCW but Heyman was right, they had no idea what to do with him, he wasn't going to be bigger than Flair, Sting, Luger.

Really interesting look at how those guys think, even when you are the biggest name in the business, you can't take a day off because somebody might be coming for your spot or getting praised online for a five-star match somewhere. Mike Trout can take a day off without worrying the guy in center field will have such a great game the Angels forget about him
