2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

Forget the tag belts. Give Truth the world championship. He deserves it for the content he's putting out.

 

Imagine this happening in a football game. Somewhere, there's a former Clark Atlanta kick returner who was actually on the receiving end of this genetic freak is watching this clip and having night sweats.

 

So Cody challenges Rocky, and we have our Night 1 main event. It's got to morph into the tag match, right?

Seth vs. Drew. Does Sami underdog his way into the match, or is he headed for Gunther?

Looks like we're set for Styles vs. Knight and Orton vs. Paul. Maybe a big multi-man ladder match for the US belt?

Rhea and Becky could be telegraphed from a mile away. Do they piecemeal a bunch of the other top women together for tag teams? Only other singles match I could see now is Jade vs. Nia to play off the Rumble moment. Liv pinned Bianca, so there's that, but they're on separate brands and both are faces.

 

That could've been a banger, but it worked out for Bronson, since he was able to be home for his child's birth.

 

Chamber was a fun spectacle. I love loud, passionate crowds.

In a vacuum the matches were good-to-great. The results? Meh. Not really excited about Becky/Rhea, Styles/Knight, Owens/Paul or Drew/Seth. Was hoping for a surprise someplace.

I shouldnt put Drew Seth in with the others. Drew’s been on fire and that is gonna be excellent, but it feels secondary with Seth in the middle of Cody’s story

 

By the way, getting huge Hogan-Savage energy when Cody and Seth are side by side

 

Looking at Raquel Rodriguez's Instagram, she is an absolute warrior for what she's had to go through and still compete in an industry where a wrestler's looks are still a key aspect (for better or worse).

I can't imagine the pain -- physically or mentally -- she's had to go through.

 

I sure as shit wasn’t going to wake up at 5 a.m. to watch the show, and somehow avoided most spoilers all day before finally watching it.

Entertaining, but predictable show. Only real thing up in the air was whether they would go with the slight chance that Bianca would win instead of Becky. Thoroughly enjoyed Orton coming from out of camera view to RKO Paul.

Got a good chuckle out of KO entering the arena with a koala. Showing wrestlers entering the arena has been a good addition.

 

Yeah, she’s been having some serious health problems. If she’s comfortable with it, I hope the E tells her story on TV for those who may not check everything online.

 

Quite foretelling that the A&E Bio on Orton begins with two disclaimers: the opinions expressed by Randy Orton do not reflect those of WWE and A&E, and phone numbers to call for those who have substance abuse problems

 

1980s wrestler Nick Kiniski, who had a brief run in the WWF, says he had to deal with the Terry Garvin School of Self-Defense and that Vince basically fired him for complaining.

RIP Ole Anderson. Legendary wrestler. Legendary cranky man.
