2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Iron Sheik is one of the greatest heels of all-time. He was a fixture of 1980s wrestling, including a lot of time in the WWF. I think he deserves the 10-bell salute for sure.

 

No big surprise here. Sheik's effect on Dwayne was a big part of "Young Rock."

 

Pre-Dynamite reading.

 

Banger of an opening match with Orange and Swerve, but didn't need the blackout at the end for something that wasn't a surprise act.

 

Sheik is one of the many reasons I still despise Zach Braff

 

MJF to Cole: "You're so frail, you make crack whores look jealous."

Dayum.

 

Holy shit Preston Vance was busted WIDE open.

 

Since he lost the Dark Order mask, he's definitely made up for lost time with the opportunities for color.

 

As much as its kinda weak they talk about wwe constantly, that Cole MJF segment was as compelling a thing as has been on aew in months

 

I’m sure he’ll get one of those tribute videos that the E is unfortunately so great at, but I doubt they’ll do the 10-bell on TV. They didn’t do it for Superstar Graham either, although granted, Graham frequently burned bridges.

I’d be glad to be proven wrong, though.

 

WWE seems to be posting a whole heap of Edge clips on social media lately. I wonder if we're going to get the start of his retirement tour this Friday?

August 18: SmackDown is in Toronto. I thought I remembered hearing that is where he wanted to end it.

 

Terrific stuff here on Don Kernodle who passed last month:

Pro wrestling was Don Kernodle’s great love
