2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

Sure felt like a farewell match for Malakai Black tonight.

 

A lot of the guys who previously left WWE for greener pastures in AEW are seeing the benefit of the new regime -- especially those who were NXT under Trips' watch, and also those (like Black) who have a significant other back in WWE.

 

Apparently he went on social media last night to squash the departure rumors. So, maybe, a face turn is coming?

 

The MacArthur Park or In-A-Gadda-Davida of Joe Hendry songs.

 

Wow. The "smoke and mirrors" was clear, but when was the last time the piledriver made it onto WWE TV?

 

A Women's U.S. Championship: I think it's about time.

 

And the inevitable Bloodline WarGames is official, but Solo says it's going to be 5x5 and not 4x4 -- unless they go back to the 4x4 since Sami aligned with the OG Bloodline.

If it's 5x5, who are the fifths? Do they pull the Dwayne card with the heel side? I've heard they've got Hikuleo (another of the Tongans related to Haku) and Lance Anoa'i (son of Samu) waiting in the wings, but are they big enough?

 

Excluding a Tombstone from Undertaker or Kane, I think it might have been the great Punk-Cena match on Raw 10 or 12 years ago.

 

I don't know WTF this means, but just as long as Mox does it at 5 minutes past the half hour in true TBS fashion.

 

Now I want him to do it at 7:35 and, instead of a cryptic promo, just run an Andy Griffith rerun for 30 minutes.
The people who dissect the Wyatt Sicks videos would have a field day trying to figure out how Barney's hijinks are a metaphor for Shane McMahon joining Mox's faction.

 

By this point, Rikishi has become wrestling's version of the worst of the high school/youth league sports parents.

 

No speculation on the 5th men for the War Games teams?!?
