2022 Pro Wrestling Thread

Really good story. Thanks for sharing.

The story said that Mox didn’t display the stereotypical behavior of drunks. He didn’t get into any incidents or drive. He just would drink all the time, wrestle, and sleep. Which is why hardly anyone had a clue.

 

Renee and Mox also did an episode of her podcast that just came out, in which they detailed a lot of what happened.

 

OK, this made me chuckle.

 

Great story. Wasn't that Flair's thing too? Drank excessively every day but he never missed a show, never showed up late? Or maybe I am thinking of someone else.

I remember reading a story about Bryan Fogarty, a mega-talented hockey player lots of people thought was the next Bobby Orr. He was an alcoholic as a teenager but after a night out with his teammates as a pro they'd be dragging themselves into the rink for practice the next morning and he'd look like he'd had a quiet night. One of his teammates in the NHL said he was a better player drunk than any of them were sober. He died when he was 32.

 

Yes, that was Flair's thing too. Several wrestlers would talk about how they would party with Flair all night, then when they were hungover coming back in, they'd see Flair working out on the Stairmaster at 7 a.m.

 

Lot of functioning alcoholics out there, don't get into fights, don't drive drunk, don't miss work. Sounds like Mox was one of those.

 

Just because Mox wasn’t beligerent doesn’t mean there weren’t signs. The changes in his body were kinda obvious on TV, in retrospect…… I mean if he was going into hardcore matches with the shakes that’s dangerous for the opponents and they need a wellness policy, is all.

 

Kenny Omega will not be emerging from the Forbidden Door. It sounds like he won’t even be at Forbidden Door.

Kenny Omega’s Presence Will Still Be Felt at ‘Forbidden Door’

 

Work or shoot?

 

Nah. Johnny has been pretty loyal to the fans on social media about his goings on since leaving NXT, and he insisted that his time in Chicago this morning/afternoon was a pure coincidence. Also, he doesn't really fit as a member of the Blackpool group.

I think signs are pointing squarely on Claudio. Jonathan Gresham was another possibility, but he's already been on AEW TV teasing a feud with Tully Blanchard's new ROH group.

 

Damn I really like Cesaro but seems like he’ll be lost in the shuffle like Keith Lee unless they program him to the top immediately, and hes gonna be in Mox’s stable right so the title is automatically out.

If they planned to sign him he shooda won that new Atlantic belt at least Switzerland is actually on the Atlantic

 

Damn. FTR is white hot.

And this is the team that Vince wanted to make into a pair of Flavor Flav cosplayers.
