2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Ha, I almost wrote "if," since the latest dirt sheet reports say his rehab on it isn't going well. But, it's pro wrestling, so that means he could come back 1) never 2) months from now or 3) tonight.

 

I still think it needs to be Jey. It was the start of the Bloodline storyline. Make it the end of the Bloodline storyline. Jey beats Roman, and the Bloodline crumbles. When it wasn’t Sami who didn’t do it, I figured it must be Jey. Tag belts are already off the Usos, so this is doable.

 

I can’t see them making Jey the face of the company. Not without him having a run on one of the other singles titles first at least.

 

Wow. Been a LONG time since we've seen a heel Trish.

 

I don't know what these supposed travel issues were, but you can tell they've had to stretch a lot out. No Theory, no Belair (and probably no Profits), no Sami, no Rollins (weird, since Becky is there), the Miz/Riddle match was off. Very few of the second and third tier players.

 

Hey at least they can’t blame Vince

And I guess Bayley leaving the company was typical dirtsheet bullcrap

 

They were in Seattle, and I think I saw somewhere that there were a bunch of storms in that area that messed up with flights.

The Lashley/Reed match was fun.

 

Poor Steph. Photoshopped into oblivion.

 

The second photo is Trips with Katie Vick.

 

New season of Dark Side premieres in May.

 

Magnum TA is one of the biggest “what ifs” in wrestling. He was going to be huge until that wreck.

 

Can't remember where, might have been in the comments section of a wrestling story, but I saw some good speculation about that recently. The guy postulated that not just Magnum TA's potential stardom was affected by that, but it had a lot of ripple effects throughout the NWA/WCW of the late 80s and early 90s as well. If he'd stayed healthy, Sting might not have risen up the way he did, Nikita Koloff might have been an even bigger star, and a few others from that era either benefited when they might not have, or got lost in the shuffle when the bookers had to reboot their plans.
