2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Took me a few seconds to recognize Rollins, who looks like he should be one of Robin Hood’s Merry Men.

 

I agree with Regal, but he can't appear on WWE TV for a year as part of his settlement with Tony -- unless they work out a deal for a one-off with the HOF.

Figuring Batista would get his delayed due from COVIDMania, if it works into his schedule.

The AEW issue does take out a lot of locks. Among the older generation, you've got Christian, Big Show, Jericho and Dustin. Then you've got the next generation with the likes of Bryan, Mox, Saraya, maybe Claudio.

Brodie Lee would be a great posthumous pick, but their family is so intertwined with AEW now, I don't know how it would work out.

 

Who are the most deserving wrestlers who are unaffiliated these days, and still alive?

Sid Vicious is the only name that comes to mind.

Maybe it’s time for more old-school ECW guys like Raven and Shane Douglas? Is Bam Bam Bigelow in already?

 

If you go with the legends who Heath Slater went through in that storyline, Sid (and Cyndi Lauper, if picky) is the only one not in the HOF, other than Doink. Sid is also the only non-active WWE champ who isn't in.

Obviously, Rock is #1 whenever they get to that point. Beyond him, I see a lot of more middle/supporting acts.

With next year being in Philly, you know they're going to have a big ECW name(s). Heyman maybe, or Dreamer. Bam Bam is another good one, but a lot of the other big ECW acts (Raven, Sabu, Sandman) aren't really on good terms with WWE, they're in real bad shape or they're gone.

 

Totally forgot that they’re coming back to Philly next year. Heyman should be a lock for that one. At least Douglas, Dreamer, Sabu and the Sandman should also be locks if they’re going to do an ECW “class.”

Is Dreamer still with Impact? Plus, he made a fool of himself defending sexual assault on Dark Side, so he might be out.

Maybe 2 Cold Scorpio? I’d also consider Stevie Richards, especially taking Right to Censor into account. He got nuclear heat for that stuff.

 

One one hand Rheas made this crying girl her Twitter avi, on the other Liv brought her backstage so, even I suppose

 

Dreamer is still active with Impact, but it wouldn't be unprecedented. Obviously, Mickie came back at the Rumble last year, and Flair was still at Impact when the Horsemen got inducted (they did a "trade" for Christian to appear up there).

If Flair is back in the good graces at WWE now, I don't see a reason Dreamer wouldn't be.

If Scott Steiner was able to get himself inducted, I suppose any of the other anti-WWE folks can get in, too.

 

OK, so can we FINALLY get to the inevitable Blood & Guts match?

 

FTR is back in AEW!

 

Can anyone go more than 30 seconds in AEW without bleeding?
