2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

Stone Cold and Flyin' Brian (from the hereafter) sneer at their efforts.

 

As I've been saying Hangman has done nothing wrong in his quest for justice against Swerve. He is the hero of the story. And, obviously, the local police department and prosecutor agree with that assessment since he was not arrested for arson.

 

Looks promising enough, but I want to see just what and who they get to talk about the last year or so.

 

But the IWC says AEW doesn't do longterm storytelling.

 

My suspicion is that this is going to go hard on Vince, who is essentially Donald Sterling at this point. Near universally reviled, but he's got billions of dollars. Netflix just inked a deal with WWE, but nobody is going to be willing to get in front of the train. I doubt it is going to take a hard look at things like "what did Hunter and Stephanie and Nick Khan know and when?"

 

Ari and TKO already buried Vince. I dont think there’s any issues the company would have with Netflix. I also don’t think its remotely fair to drag HHH and Stephanie into it withour any evidence.

 

Both are high level executives in the company, which was essentially a multi-billion dollar family business. You need to at least ask them tough questions like that and get it on camera, even if they're going to say "no I wasn't involved at all." Were they completely in the dark about four different sexual harassment lawsuit settlements over 16 years?

 

I look forward to seeing a gentleman's match without any outside shenanigans.

 

Conrad Thompson, the mortgage guy who is also Ric Flair's son-in-law and has hosted a bunch of podcasts with Flair and many other wrestling folks, says Netflix's McMahon documentary may be a "double-shovel" burial and that "some people" at WWE don't like it.

He also cohosts a podcast with Bruce Prichard, who seems like he might be "some people."
