2022 Pro Wrestling Thread

Speaking of Elizabeth, if her death had come a week sooner, I wonder how/if it would have affected Clash at the Castle, considering almost every sporting event in the UK has been postponed or suspended (most notably, the European golf tour's flagship event).

Yes, I know WWE has the "show must go on" mentality (cough, cough ... Owen), but would Elizabeth's death have prevented the Clash from going on?

 

I bet Sheamus would have wrestled.

 

Yeah, yeah, it's Deadspin. But it's also a pretty good column on how Punk has been exposed this week.

Among other gems ...

 

"We want Sheamus" chants?!?! Seattle is going mental for him right now.

That and the night after Roman beat Undertaker at Mania may be the greatest prolonged boos I've ever heard.

Meanwhile ... YEAH!

 

I think my two favorite parts of that are Elias putting the guitar pick in his mouth to keep from laughing his ass off, and then the quick double down with the Oklahoma City jab. It's almost a shame Owens really had no clue why it got that reaction and is such a pro, because there were a couple more places they could have kept that bit rolling and gotten an old school 1980s Greensboro/Atlanta riot going.
