2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Woods is the last one standing for now, at least for a handful of months -- unless Big E is ready, and they're just waiting for the post-Mania reboot.

At no fault of his own, I hope Woods doesn't fall to the wayside. I'd love to see him get his own singles glory beyond that KOTR win.

 

God help me, the Rey/Dom storyline has to be some of the most nauseatingly drawn-out stuff WWE has put on the air since that Sonya/Naomi junk.

 

I dont know Doms pretty over and Rhea’s obvs incredible

I’d settle in for some more, I wouldnt be surprised if the angle anchors the Puerto Rico stadium show with bad bunny being a big Rey guy

 

Road Dogg chimes in ...

 

Funny. I though Mustafa Ali was the only cop turned pro wrestler.

Between Starks, MJF, Max Caster and Britt Baker, it's enjoyable to see how far some of AEW's stars have come from being scrubs on WWE TV.

 

Obviously, it must've been in the can a while, but the A&E bio on Paige was pretty good. Touched on a lot that was in her movie, then dug into her depths (no mention of Del Rio by name but an "ugly relationship," and it did refer to the tape). The bio ends with her saying she can't wait to see what she does in the future, but there's clearly no mention of AEW.

The Lawler bio before didn't touch on much new. Basically, his upbringing up to his heart attack and his 50th anniversary show in 2021.

 

So it was 2 1-hour bios tonight rather than one 2-hour bio? Futzed up my dvr, which recorded Paige but not Lawler

 

About freaking time. If they have to have a celebrity wing, Andy and Cyndi Lauper were the most glaring omissions.

Hopefully, Lawler is recuperated enough to do the deed.

Or they get Jim Carrey to come out as Tony Clifton.

 

Wow. Just wow. Even a Retaliation namedrop.

 

Sunday, we've got A&E Bios on Charlotte and Yokozuna.

I know she's Charlotte, but do we already need the bio on her, especially when we had the Peacock special on Ric?

And they did a doc on Yoko as part of that Icons series on the Network just two years ago.

Yes, I know they're trying to cater to a more general audience, but they're starting to grasp at straws a little bit.

I guess it's just filling time before they inevitably close out with the Dusty bio that Cody helped lead the reins for.

 

Otis just casually holding the cucumber slice from his facial on his chest then eventually eating it...

...then Drew and the Brutes as the 40-year-old Virgin guys? That's great TV.

 

Vince has to be back in charge. First we get a weird Rhea vs. Bayley match with Becky and the HOFers and the rest of Damage Control outside the ring. Then we get Asuka and Bianca teaming up … and CAN THEY COEXIST!?!?

And where’s Charlotte in all this? Why don’t they have her get involved with the Judgment Day storyline?
