2022 Pro Wrestling Thread

Yeah, I was thinking either her or Candice Michelle.

It’s extremely likely it was one of the “Diva Search” contestants.

 

If I remember, Candice left on her own because of the toll of the injuries, including that brutal collarbone injury on the top-rope slip against Beth Phoenix.

That, and she's been back a handful of times, including winning the 24/7 on one of the reunion shows.

 

I remember that top rope slip. The ref nearly flipped out on Beth because she moved Candice so that her feet wouldn’t be near the ropes for the pin attempt.

 

Looking up the list of women, there was also Amy Weber, who had a short career working as JBL’s “assistant” before quitting because she said Edge and Orton were bullying her.

ADD: I found an interview she gave a couple of years ago. She praised Vince. So maybe it’s not her.

Amy Weber Says Bullying by Edge and Randy Orton Drove Her from WWE

 

SmackDown ended with a pair of bait and switches -- the women's tag and the main event.

That answers the question on if Vince was in attendance.

 

Do we really need another Kingston vs. Jericho match at Fyter Fest?

 

My god, they're in dire need of something new in WWE. As much as they're money in the ring, the last thing I want to see is another permutation of the Profits vs. the Usos.

And it seems like most of the SummerSlam card is matches we've seen as recently as WrestleMania: Brock/Roman, Usos/Profits, Lashley/Theory, Ronda/Liv, Miz/Paul, Belair/Lynch.

 

I enjoyed A&E's bio on Undertaker. I know this was more for casual fans, but they did a good job of making sure it wasn't just a rehashing of the "Last Ride" series on the Network.

 

The rumblings are getting louder and louder that Bryan Danielson is done.

 

WWE's main roster women's tag belt is somewhere in Parts Unknown right now, while the NXT women's tag champs split with Cora Jade's heel turn.

(Bonus points for Cora's skateboard splitting in her hands before she had a chance to snap it over Roxanne's back.)

Glad to see WWE shows gender equality when it comes to not giving a shit about tag team wrestling.

 

I had a sudden thought about Cora and Roxanne. Both of them were born in the 2000s.

I suddenly felt very old.
