2021 Pro Wrestling Thread

Opponents tagging with each other? What a novel WWE concept!

Because of course Big E doesn't do what makes sense and team up with Seth and KO to beat up Lashley.

 

Sure, and Becky planned for Liv to come to her gym and attack her, so she set up Pretend Becky to get attacked first so she could sneak up behind Liv.

5-D Chess.

 

The tease of Riddle vs. Walter (or Riddle/MSK vs. Imperium)? Count me intrigued.

 

In a shock to no one...

I can only imagine for Kenny Omega to return so we have the Elite vs. the Cole Bunch.

 

That was a great six-man at the end of Dynamite -- especially the three-generation trio of Sting, Punk and Darby. Sting is an f'n machine for what he's doing at his age.

 

I'm wondering if Dax Harwood shoving MJF out of the ring and taking those finishers was an audible?
Either Sting damn near killed MJF, or he damn near killed himself. That looked really ugly.

 

You mean the guy the evil WWE took out of the ring probably shouldnt be in the ring? Shocked I tell you

 

I'm not blaming Sting, because it could've been MJF's fault. I'm not quite sure, when someone throws another wrestler over the top rope, whose responsibility it is to handle the escape velocity. MJF could have launched himself too hard and had to tuck the landing short.
Not sure how much Sting helped, though, by not recognizing the potential mistake and following up the way he did.

 

Yeah I mean he’s 62, the more you ask those guys to do (see Goldberg/Taker and the HBK mess in Saudi) the better the odds it goes bad. The cinematic match with Darby was great. Its been downhill since

 

For those who remember watching wrestling at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens, I found this fun article about the history of “The Ramp.” You know what I mean.

Maple Leaf Wrestling.com: The Ramp!

Also, not fun, the heel for whom the ramp was made for ended up later spending years in jail for beating his wife to death:

Wow thanks for that, what a find. I saw many shows at the Gardens over the years and Maple Leaf Wrestling on Ch. 11 out of Hamilton was a Saturday staple forever. I had no idea of the origin of the ramp but it was something very unique about a show at the Gardens.

 

Much like WWF/E events at MSG, where the entry was right in the center of the camera, using the old center court entry from Knicks games.
