2016 Pro Wrestling Thread

He was there to meet his, um, client for lunch.

 

I heard all of the kitchen workers' hair nets are made of chain mail.

 

I would like a Steinerline Steak, with a side order of Frankensteiner Fries.

 

Can you imagine how he talks to the cooks and wait staff?

"Listen up, you white trash! I got a diner full of my freaks out there, and they expect us to get their orders right! She said no mayo! And you, you hoochie! Why are you only carrying three plates to a table? The largest arms in the world can carry 20! Bitch!"

 

By the way, speaking of business ventures, I asked jpetrie if he wanted to buy TNA with me. Anyone else want in? For a couple of 50s each, I think we can go liquid on the deal.

 

I'm in. I'll buy the Knockouts Division.

 

I don't think you need to buy the whole promotion to purchase their services. You can probably rent them.

 

Bray Wyatt suffers injury Man, as if Reigns didn't need any more reason for the boobirds to pile on, and it wasn't even his fault.

 

Cheap Heat sans Shoemaker ... well, um. Yep. It needs time to figure out what it's going to be. It will be a painful process. It can't be guests like Coach. I can't handle listening to a company man and a guy trying to become a company man for an hour.

And Rosenberg is the type who asks a question then keeps talking for 3 minutes. Not great if the show transitions to a guest format.

 

The minute before they got to Coach was probably the single worst bit of broadcasting that's been on that pod. Just painful. And, it definitely seems like it's going to be a Rosenburg solo show, as Greg seems to be in the same "lay way back" positioning.

 

Sadly as I suspected. Thanks for posting though, saves me the time of bothering to download

 

Observer from April 18:

- WWE announced 10 developmental signings this week: Nicola Glencross (Nikki Storm), Michael Nicholls (Mikey Nicholls), Shane Veryzer (Shane Haste), Babatunde Aiyegbusi (6’9”, 350, from Poland), Bianca Blair (crossfit and NCAA hurdles champion), Nikola Bogojevic (third place finisher in the 2014 Pan American games in greco roman wrestling), Carolyn Dunning (model and bikini bodybuilder), Macey Estrella (former member of the U.S. Marine Corps SWAT team), Terrance Jean Jacques (Division III All-American wrestler), and Daniella Kamela (former halftime reporter for the Suns and Cardinals in 2010-11, didn’t make the last round of Tough Enough).

- The League of Nations is in the process of being broken up in the next few weeks.

- Class action lawsuits from old wrestlers against the WWE for royalties from the Network is likely in the future. The first from Rene Dupree was filed in April, but withdrawn five days later, after his lawyers were informed by WWE that Dupree signed away future licensing rights in a 2006 contract extension. It’s believed that this language was standard in WWE deals at the time, so it’s likely that pre-2006 wrestlers might still have standing.

- MVP was fired by Lucha Underground after less of a week of employment, because they apparently didn’t like that he talked about what his role would be in the promotion.

- Lucha Underground also countered the WWE’s offer to Ricochet (Trevor Mann) with a lot of money, so he could come back.

- TNA is in dire condition. They owed so much back rent at Cummins Station in Nashville, their corporate HQ, that they’re being evicted as of May 1. The ratings are still far below what POP expected, and the second airing of the show was moved from 11 p.m. to Saturday mornings.
