2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

Yeah, I noticed that and chuckled. I also found it amusing that they listed Laurinaitis as both a former executive and as a former general manager. Almost as if being the Raw GM was a real position.

And seriously, among a lot of things. how dumb was Billionaire Vince to not pay out the full $3 million?

 

WWE got dropped by Slim Jim. Money speaks, and I can't imagine it will be long before TKO officially kicks Vince to the curb and works to sever ties.

 

Meanwhile, in some much more uplifting and positive news:

This looks really, really good. Big E and some of his buds (including Jonathan Davenport, the New Day's gear designer) produced an animated film (short?) based on the real-life story of Ruby Bridges, a 6-year-old Black girl starting at an all-white school in New Orleans in 1960.

 

And there we go:

 

LOL, Cole talks about major breaking news from earlier this week and they talk about the Netflix deal and The Rock at the Stock Exchange.

Um, there was just a little bit more huge news that wasn’t mentioned. Although I would have fallen off my couch if they addressed it.

 

Give him the Bischoff exit. Have all the women on the roster throw him in a garbage truck.

 

What's going to be the main event tomorrow night: the championship 4-way, the men's Rumble, the women's Rumble, or the post-show media scrum to see how they squirm around the obvious news? Do they even bring in Nick Khan for the super-serious statement, instead of Triple H talking about his dad-in-law?

 

Watching Smackdown right now is surreal, knowing what’s going on behind the scenes.

 

R-Truth pulls out his Rumble number from the tumbler:

"Oh no!!!! Does this mean I have to quarantine?" Then, he thinks Aldis is Pearce and remarks about how his hair grew back and how supple it was.

Amid all the changes in WWE, at least the greatness that is R-Truth remains constant.

 

Ripping off one of the Cageside commentators: Truth will come out during the women’s Rumble. “My bad!”

 

He does still need to get Nia Jax back for taking his spot in the men's Rumble in 2019 or '20.

 

I love, love how they're treating NXT as a complement to the two main brands again, and not just a red-headed stepchild.

I like the touch of Trick continuing his distrust with Carmelo on the main roster, and the Miami crowd loved Trick.
