2021 Pro Wrestling Thread

And so Xavier Woods is cosplaying as Black Scott Hall tonight. Well then.

 

At least something was good about that segment.

Weird year for Miz.
Wins the WWE championship in February. Eaten by zombies and blows out his knee in May. Squashed by a Super Soaker in August.
At this rate, at Survivor Series it'll be revealed that the Gobbledygooker is the result of his and Maryse's ill-fated efforts to conceive another child by using a turkey baster.

 

Good thing I don't work on Mondays, because I wasn't expecting this thing to push midnight.

 

Wrestlemania 32 is calling to say, "Wrap it up, guys."

 

Heh. Since this thing is being played in some theaters, it's on the Fandango (not the dancer) listings.

The "cast" listing: John Cena, Leati Joseph Anoai, Adam Copeland, Franklin Lashley, Colby Lopez, Andrew McLean Galloway IV, Hassan Hamin Assad, Paul Heyman, Bill Goldberg

 

I'll admit. I was HUGE into Goldberg during the WCW days ... but can we FINALLY Old Yeller him now? That was hideous, and the crowd totally shit on him in Vegas.

 

They really put a 15-year-old kid in a Hurt Lock? Was Nicholas not available?

 

Well, that was … something.

 

Reminds me of one time years ago, I called the local movie theater hotline to find out what shows were playing, and the automated voice listed “Fahrenheit 911, starring Michael Moore and George W. Bush …”. Cracked me up.

 

Oh, and Lashley really shouldn’t get thrown off the top rope. I feared he nearly broke his neck there.

 

If I had to guess based off of that finish, it looks like they're planning for at least one more match with Lashley. But I'm with you. Every time he shows up, even more than most of the returning legends and part-timers, it just feels like a total waste of time.
On the bright side, this match tonight probably went three times longer than his last three or four matches combined. And in the first minute I think he performed more different moves than he has during his entire WWE comeback. So there's that.

 

Like the touch with Cena's new shirt and tron giving an ode to Super Mario 3.
