2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

JR is an icon, but he just shouldn't be on TV anymore. But I think it's therapy for him since losing his wife.

 

This shows how long these second season episodes of the WWE Treasures show have been in the can. They've featured Lanny Poffo (died in February) and tonight's episode was all about Rey and Dom being together (nine months after they split on screen).

 

They gave Ciampa his old theme back, and allowed him to have gray hair again!

 

The mock TikToks of Chelsea in full Karen mode ... that was glorious.

 

LA Knight came onto the main roster as a non-wrestling fashion agent.

Now, he's back to what he should be and might be one of the most over guys on the payroll.

Thank you, Triple H.

Not the most thrilled by Logan Paul being added in, but damned if he's not one of the most athletic guys in the match. I'd still expect it to lead to him and Ricochet at SummerSlam.

 

No Gargano in Cleveland? Unless he's injured again, that's a bummer. Even if he wasn't wrestling, figure he would at least appear backstage, especially with Ciampa's return.

 

Wow, Rollins beats Bron clean. No shenanigans.

ADD: And here’s Finn.

 

I love how they're letting NXT exist in the main WWE universe again.

It adds so much relevance to NXT instead of it just being in its own developmental bubble.

 

Seth and Nathan vs. Finn and JD would be a killer mentor/protege tag match.

 

More f'ed up stories in the Dark Side on Matt Borne/Doink. Beyond the "usual" stuff you see in wrestling stories, the accusations from Borne's ex and daughter that his girlfriend at the time of his death killed him.

Next week, it's Junkyard Dog.

 

The story B. Brian Blair told about his fight with Borne was insane. Dude sounds like he lived up to the "Maniac" nickname.
