2020 Pro Wrestling Thread

This Twitter thread is pretty damn funny.

Money in the Bank viewers were left wondering if two fighters are actually still alive

 

The always rampant wrestling rumor mill is Becky Lynch has a little Seth disciple in the oven and will be relinquishing the belt tonight.

 

I went ahead and re-activated my WWE Network subscription yesterday after a few months to see the Money in the Bank and the Undertaker program.

I enjoyed the MITB match(es). Purists may blanch, but if they're having to go without an audience, then they might as well be creative with it. I thought it would have gone on a bit longer after they got to the top (and am surprised not everybody made it up there), but the climax was alright.

Was happy to see Asuka, my current WWE favorite, get the suitcase, and hoping they give her a decent, sustained push this time. If the Becky Lynch rumor is true, Asuka can get a prime spot on Raw for awhile. Otis getting the case for the men was a surprise, but let's see where they go with it.

Really enjoyed the The Last Ride kickoff. It was fascinating to see Taker speaking as just Mark Calaway. As usual, WWE did great with all the behind-the-scenes stuff and I loved his interactions with Roman Reigns ("What? You can't kayfabe for 10 minutes?") Looking forward to the rest of that series.

 

If true, I wonder if that begat the 'handshake' angle with Rollins and McIntyre after their match. I figure if the WWE's first (OK, actually second) couple is going to be expecting, they want them both as faces for the next few months.

 

OK, that was actually pretty beautiful. Wonder if we'll see Seth take a break at some point, particularly with the fear of bringing the virus home.

Or, there's a twist and Mike Kanellis is the father.

 

I was busy doing other stuff, saw only a few seconds and wondered why Becky was looking kinda emotional. Then I just saw it on YouTube. Very nice moment that would have been awesome in front of an audience.

 

Damn, Baszler just ethered the entire concept of motherhood.

“Pro-life”’organizations’ outrage coming in 3 ... 2 ...

 

Seth already rocking the "changing an explosive diaper at 2 a.m." look. I know that from first-hand.

 

DAAAAAAMMMMMMN, Shayna to Natalya.

 

What the fuck was that line from Charly (undoubtedly fed to her by Vince) at the end?

 

Asuska is the greatest.

Such a weird thing with Seth being an uber heel after that, especially after the shake last night.

And jeez, Raw’s lost its 2, maybe 3 biggest stars with no Reigns, no Becky, Flair on 1/2 time. Know what’ll pop a rating?!? Baron Corbin!! For fucks sake
