2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Melo vs. Baron Corbin. That is a choice. But I guess no different than Bron vs. Dolph.

 

Dolph at least had a couple of heavyweight titles and a bunch of secondary titles even though he’s been in Tony Garea territory for the past five years or so. Corbin ain’t done squat.

 

Watched the season premiere of Dark Side on Chris Candido and Tammy/Sunny.

Was tough to see all the talking heads (his brother, Lance Storm, Tom Prichard, Jim Cornette -- yes, he actually has a heart) break down talking about Chris' death from a blood clot, especially after cleaning himself up and getting a new lease on life in TNA.

Clearly, no love lost for Sunny, other than Foley saying he always got along with her.

Not a very flattering light painted on HBK or Heyman, but not to the extent of Flair or Dreamer in the Plain Ride doc.

Next week is Magnum TA.

 

Damn it, I completely forgot about DSOTR. And then when I saw nietsroob's post I learned YouTube TV doesn't offer it.

 

That is when I switched to Hulu, which has Vice and A&E (for their WWE products). YT has neither.

 

Bandido holding Yuta in the air for a full minute. That was a great visual.

 

Kenny left the country ... but he's not in Canada. Oh snap.

 

Tony Khan just flat out saying CM Punk will be on Collision. Sounds like a little ploy to drum up ticket sales at the massive United Center.

Punk's name definitely got a bit of a mixed reaction from the crowd in San Diego.

 

I’m watching on delay and that mixed reaction for CMP was 50/50 cheers and boos.

 

Holy crap, Callis drew some HEAT!

 

He will (should?) get huge support in Chicago, but I'd expect it to be split everywhere else, and totally against in Bucks country and Long Island.

 

I wonder about the split on it. Are the TV-only watchers cheering and the dirt sheet readers/Redditors the ones booing? Are they going to try to run him as the lead face on Saturdays?
