2022 Pro Wrestling Thread

Last week’s Raw was really good. This week’s is meh.

 

Maybe there's a plan for NXT 3.0 to be a reboot of the World Bodybuilding Federation.

 

Theory made a mention of Cena's 20 years tonight. Looks like that'll be his SummerSlam plan after he inevitably faces Lashley at MITB.

 

i think I caught Graves saying “look at the striations” as a sneaky rib on Vince’s WBF announcing

 

Does this mean Linda is going to go catatonic again? And count me shocked that the Bellas' step daddy is as much of a smug prick as he came across on TV.

For him being a tag specialist, that was an amazing display of singles wrestling by Dax vs. Ospreay.

 

Honestly surprised it took this long for Vince to get me too’d. Very surprised its a recent thing and not something dredged up from the 80s.

No idea how common such agreements are though. My instinct is way more than you’d think and its kind of a nothing burger but who the hell knows. It aint good

way down the list and secondarily I’d say Caster and any other aew talent using this for cheap heat is low rent too. If its a serious victim she doesnt deserve to be a rasslin punchline

 

This could be the end of Vince.

 

Rumors about McMahon's infidelities would pop up every so often, but they never stuck, so I'm not a bit surprised.
One story I remember was in 1987, about a year after I first started following wrestling, Missy Hyatt (who I had seen a bit of in Bill Watts' UWF before it got bought out by Jim Crockett) was hired by McMahon to take over the WWF interview segment after Roddy Piper "retired." She had a kayfabe article about her in the WWF Magazine, had done one segment that never aired, and then suddenly was gone from the Fed. Of course, it came out that her and Vince allegedly had an affair, and Linda found out and told him to fire her or she was going to call a divorce lawyer.

 

Got a hunch those tag belts were the Hardys' to win.

Glad they finally pulled the cord on Christian's slow build against Jungle Boy. That should be a good generational feud.
