2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

And this is how you get a crowd riled up coming out of a break.

 

That deal with the refs in the ladder match was, ahhhh, something

 

Sure, it's a cheap Photoshop job, but it's weird to see. Rhea's transformation still trips me out the most.

 

Ha, wow, no kidding. I had no clue.

 

Then, the 2018 Mae Young is when she came back and started the transition to her current heel persona, including the one notable match with Tegan Nox when her knee basically exploded.

 

Rey vs. Dom is getting as painfully slow as some of those storylines with Sonia as the evil GM.

 

Kofi looked like he took two really awkward hits there. Drew dove over the top rope onto him and Kofi was in an awkward position when he broke the fall. Looked like drew caught him across the collarbone. Then Kross throws Sheamus into the post, and Sheamus dumped himself onto the floor right on top of Kofi, which also looked unplanned.

 

The build to his return and the reveal was sensational, but this Bray stuff is starting to grow stale.

The stuff with Knight was fine, but Bobby is not the one they need to be doing supernatural stuff with. I'd much rather have more explanation of what/who Uncle Howdy is. And where's all the flirtation with Bliss?

 

Also been wondering: we've got less than a month until WrestleMania, and they haven't announced any Hall of Fame inductees. By this point, they've usually announced at least a few of those going in.

 

They've got to be digging down near the bottom of the barrel to find guys, right? They could flesh out some classes by giving Legacy inductees their proper due, but it feels like there aren't that many A-Listers left (or at least ones that would be available or at the right stage of their careers for an induction).

 

Maybe they announce Cena as the head of the class? Then add William Regal. Mickie James would be good but she’s with Impact right now. And a lot of other options for non-headliners of a class are in AEW. Big Show could headline a class, but he’s in that boat too. I think eventually some of the AEW guys will be in, but not until they retire or head back to WWE.
