2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Catching up with Dynamite after being at the Braves game last night (Acuna 4 Life), and MJF is icon mode for getting the fans to chant for weed, pubic hair and tofu. Jay White is a great matchup with MJF on the mic and in the ring.

The Bros on a Boat with MJF, Cole and Captain Insano was certainly a choice.

The one good thing with Cole's injury is that we're due for a couple months more of bromance skits.

 

I’m not convinced Cole actually has a broken ankle. Sprain? Sure. But broken in three places and he just walked around Grand Slam with a slight limp, did the boat skit, flew to Colorado to do an in-ring bit and didn’t have surgery right away!?!

 

totally agreed the way they shot the promo in the ring it looked like he was about to pop up and declare the whole thing a work

Grandpa HBK is great on these media calls

 

With the ladies in the main, I think we see Jade come out to confront the winner. I think that's the kind of scene you want to go off the air with.

Meanwhile, Darby apparently said that he and Christian are main eventing AEW tomorrow. Adam Copeland appearance maybe? It seems obvious, if only for a short term. He's got Christian, the Hardys and FTR that he's close to, plus a lot of intriguing new opponents.

 

I dunno regardless of Jade I dont think you can realistically have a Wrestlemania main eventer not go on last on an NXT show right?

 

Trick Williams might be the LA Knight of NXT. He's massively over right now.

Like the added touch to Brian Pillman Jr.'s teaser video, with him watching clips of all the second-generation stars in WWE. So he's definitely keeping his whole persona, and probably name.

 

“The Righteous” getting no reaction whatsoever in Seattle.

 

Yeah, I think a bit too obscure from the ROH/indie ranks to be getting steady TV time and rub elbows with MJF.

I think they got a brief toe into WWE as a potential part of Bray's stable recently.

 

Not the slam on the disembodied Barbie dolls. STOP THE DAMN MATCH!

 

Tiffany Stratton is a bona fide superstar on the making. That may have been one of the greatest women's matches in NXT history, near the level of Bayley and Sasha.

 

best womens plunder match ever? Its gotta be on the short list. The whole sequence towards the end outside, springboard hand stands thru the barricade, table swanton, the jumping spalsh on the chairs, the spot where Becky fell off the announce table and landed on the office chair….. Holy shit
