2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

Nice. HBK is definitely cooking at the books in NXT.

 

If Rhea is healthy, here’s our Summerslam main event.

 

Speaking of the custody of Dominik, I caught up with the WWE/A&E Bio on Eddie Guerrero last night. Such a shame that Eddie was taken so soon, after he had worked to make himself a better man inside and outside the arena.

It was good (a full two hours). They had a handful of more recent interviews with the talent (even Sasha), but only archive interviews with the family (Vickie, Chavo Jr., Mando). It did, however, include unreleased documentary-style footage they did with Eddie in El Paso the year before he died, which was nice to see.

Next week, they've got a Bio on Steamboat. That'll be nice to see, because there hasn't really been much on his life in the past.

 

I saw part of the Eddie doc, as I was flipping between multiple sports events, and I saw the El Paso footage. I wonder if that was the same event that JBL was supposed to cause Eddie’s mother to have a kayfabe heart attack;
only she had a legitimate one instead.

I see a JBL tweet a week or so ago in which he said Eddie told him to get the hell out of town right away as the crowd was about to riot and that police escorted him to a distant city for his next flight because they said it wasn’t safe for him to be in El Paso.

 

2 minutes as interim EVP and Christopher Daniels already botches the name of AEW's Friday night show.

Just like AEW to copy WWE. Now they've got their own bald, white, former world champion authority figure.

 

So you have a 21-man gauntlet match that can theoretically end long before most of the wrestlers even get a chance to enter? I guess that makes some sort of sense?

 

Ospreay and Swerve at Forbidden Door? They're pulling that card already and not waiting for Wembley? Or do they want Ospreay to take it into the show?

 

Watching on delay … if Okada keeps cussing in English, The Elite will have to turn face.

 

I just discovered that this was a thing. Unbelievable.

 

Oh man, inject that battle royal directly in my veins. Insane action. Such fun.

 

Didn't feel like I missed much. (I was in the kitchen making shrimp & grits for tomorrow's breakfast. Glad I didn't wait until tomorrow. That was a task.)

 

Somewhere, Bill Watts just punched a wall.
