2021 Pro Wrestling Thread

Well Dunn didn’t do anything in the WWF, but they were quite prominent in Memphis and, I think, Smoky Mountain.

 

Happy to see Samoa Joe back in WWE. And in that role, that could be perfect.

 

Well, that's a twist. What's the catch here? Will Roman not have a match at the PPV?

 

I just watched the Chyna doc on Vice. It's so fucking sickening.

She would take two steps forward, then five steps back thanks to that bastard "manager" and the documentarian who enabled her near the end.

This story is so sad that VINCE RUSSO is a voice of reason here.

 

How does it compare to the dark side stuff? Im a little off watching a Vice thing without those two guys invovled. Just seems weird theres a doc like that they didnt do

 

One of the Dark Side guys was a consultant here. A good chunk of the footage was from a documentary being done on Chyna leading up to her death (a la Resurrection of Jake).

It was a good documentary, albeit one with a sickening and saddening subject matter. They got Russo, Foley, Waltman and Billy Gunn to talk.

 

Note 1: Don't know what the point was of that Cell match being on Smackdown.

Note 2: In the same week, we've got a 25-years retired Ted DiBiase taking a bump, and a nearly 20-years retired (and Parkinson's stricken) Dean Malenko taking a bump on the same night one of his biggest rivals main-evented a world championship match. Because everything old is new again.

 

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

 

Lord. As great and hard-hitting as Drew/Bobby was, they HAD to use the exact same roll-up finish as Cesaro/Seth from an hour or so earlier?

 

God the Peacock app is such hot garbage. Still havent seen the first two matches since it wont rewind that far.

Both the Ripley and Lashley matches had such trash finishes. Great matches, bad endings….I dont mind Lashley winning or the interference, but let it lead to a big move and a pin, you cant end a feud like that on a frickin roll up

 

Even with the stipulation, I don't think they're done yet. I can see an angle where Drew interferes in Lashley's matches for a couple of PPVs to either cost him the belt or lead to a Money in the Bank cash-in as a way to get the belt off Lashley and open the door for another title shot.

 

Was anyone else having an issue with the closed captioning being on the screen all night? My TV settings don't have it on, but it was on throughout the PPV and during the Broken Skull Sessions afterward so I assume it was something with the app. I couldn't figure out out to turn it off.
The way they presented it, it took up almost the top half of the screen at times.
