2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Ashamed to say I missed both Dudley Boys

 

I have it set up so that if you get one, you get the other.
Same with the Harts, Rhodeses and Hardys.

 

Nice piece from GQ, of all places.

An Afternoon on Long Island With Wrestling Superstar MJF, Who Is Better Than You

 

All these black and gold favorites getting screen time, the Easter eggs in the background (Rhea talking to Drew?) ... the book is definitely back squarely in H's hands.

 

Cody did a very subtle clobberin time time too the Punk hints continue

 

Another positive from Raw, the number of women wrestlers who got screen time:

Raquel, Nia, Rhea, Shayna, Valhalla, Becky, Tegan, Natalya, Xia, Chelsea, Piper, Kayden, Katana, Candice, Indi, Maxxine

Meanwhile, you're lucky to see more than two on a 5-hour AEW PPV.

 

Fightful and PWInsider are both reporting that Hunter has the book … and that Vince is no longer in creative at all. That would explain a great deal.

Both shows going commercial-free tonight for the first 30 minutes, and AEW is planning a 10-minute overrun and a YouTube preshow (with Eddie Kingston defending both belts, allegedly) for Tuesday Night Dynamite. NXT’s commercial-free run, of course, will just be Undertaker’s standard entrance. (Kidding. Maybe.)

 

Umm, WTF?

 

Tony Kahn makes it really really really hard to root his company sometimes

I imagine being a Fullham fan is not fun

 

Sure … in some alternative universe where the NFL and the NBA don’t exist.

NXT in whatever color scheme is minor league, and anybody who becomes a star in it will have to rebuild using a new brand if they even get called up to the big shows.

 

So, for those with the ability or desire to watch live tonight, are you going predominantly with NXT or AEW live? I must say, I'm probably going with NXT live and catching AEW during breaks and on DVR later. Just more intrigued by what they might do with the main roster folks than what AEW has advertised for Dynamite.
