2022 Pro Wrestling Thread

I've really enjoyed the series, but I'm hoping there's a second season with some different voices and/or more stories. They've all felt like they barely scratched the surface. Though I guess it would be tough to do much more in an hour.

 

From what I hear, they've got a new season of "Dark Side" in the works, so that might be what they dedicate their resources toward.

 

It’s always kinda weird seeing him in Japan actually doing moves. He was 6-7, 6-8, between 280-300 pounds in his prime and you’d think he’s just be a powerhouse, rather than a guy doing enziguris and drop toeholds. But the Japanese fans wouldn’t tolerate just the hulking up, boot, leg drop for too long.

As is, Hogan says now that he wishes his finishing move in the states was the Axe Bomber (the running clothesline) because doing 300 leg drops a year ruined his back.

 

Great Mean Gene-like indignation from Schiavone who was so worked up he called MJF a “piece of shit” and Regal “Steven”.

 

I'm thinking that's the same thing that's happened to Randy Orton. The RKO dumps you on your lower back in a similar way to Hogan's leg drop.

 

Yeah, that and taking bumps on your back multiple nights a week. It’s hard to believe, but Orton’s been doing this more than 20 years already. At some point, something’s gotta give.

 

Plus steroids, which typically don't help with career longevity.

 

Lord, they're rebooting Lacey Evans ... again.

 

Wow.

Kofi to Imperium: "You know Alex Wright? You look like a bunch of Alex Wrongs."

And the Triple H redemption tour continues with the return of Tegan Nox.
