2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

One twist I like with the Sami/Bloodline storyline is how Jey Uso has gone from being Sami's biggest detractor to his biggest defender. I kinda wonder how that's going to play into things down the road.

 

I thought Raw was basically created as a way of moving past the cartoonish 80s/Hulkamania era.

 

Thanks for posting that. It's crazy that a guy who is such an important part of WWE history barely ever wrestled on its flagship show.

 

Not sure if it was or wasn't, but its start happened to coincide with Hogan first taking a break (partially because of the steroid trial) and then heading to WCW.

 

Wow. This is going to be epically amazing and emotional. Kudos to WarnerMedia for allowing this to happen, if that truly is the case.

It's a shame that the brothers as a duo never got their big TV moment, but this is still going to be one of the most emotional moments in recent pro wrestling history. Maybe even going back to the Owen and Eddie tribute shows WWF/E had.

 

Has the ROH tribute to Jay Briscoe been posted to YouTube yet? I can't find it.

 

There’s so many elements to the Bloodline story. You have Roman as the paranoid Tribal Chief. You have Sami as the interloper. You have Jey as the emotional heart of the group. You have Heyman to lend as much gravitas as an ass-kisser can give.

And very quietly, Solo looks like he could be a huge main event star. The only one who sometimes feels like filler is Jimmy.

There’s so many ways that this can end up. That’s what makes this story so great.

 

Solo could easily end up taking the mantel of what WWE probably had in mind for Umaga before he started struggling with his demons.

 

Haven't yet. I bet they wanted to take a little extra time to edit in some archival highlights and interviews.

 

theres so much nuance and so many possibilities that the simple “Sami turns and he and KO go to face the Usos” would almost be disappointing

 

A beautiful tribute video for Jay Briscoe on Dynamite. Doubt there will be a dry eye in the house for the main event with Mark and Lethal.

 

MJF: "Then again, I'm not the first Jew to hide from a guy with blue eyes."

DAYUM.
