2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Damn. Not a shock that Priest won, but it sucks that we missed what would've been an epic pop for LA Knight. That arena was ready to explode for him.

 

You mean the one onto the tables? Yeah, that was dicey. Looked like Ricochet was slipping on the ropes and somehow they were still able to pull it off. That was almost a disaster, and still a credit to both guys that they got it done.

 

Yeah, the tables spot. This 3 p.m. EST start time is messing up my Saturday afternoon nap schedule.

 

OK, we knew that eventually Ronda and Shayna were going to split, but why now?

 

Good to see Drew come back. With all of the backstage rumors, I was worried he was going to just fade away when he deserves a lot more. If Sami Zayn became a true superstar because of the Bloodline, Drew seemed like he got squeezed out by them because there just wasn't a good spot for him. Hopefully a spotlight IC feud to keep Gunther from getting the record can bring him back up.

 

Beats me. That seemed way too random to be meaningful.

 

Going back to the MITB match for a second ... How good was that match when Ricochet's suicide dive through the ladder was only the third or fourth best "holy shit" moment?

 

I'm probably going to miss the last few matches of this PPV because we're going to an indy show tonight. My first real one. I'm kind of excited. Shooting for the paper as well (it's slow because of the holiday, so why the hell not put pro wrestling in the sports section?).

 

Holy shit, they are pulling out some cards for this one.
Although I guess we shouldn't be surprised that we did not see this one coming.

 

Yeah, and even more interesting, they’re talking about London for WM. That would be the first WM outside the US and Canada.

 

I guess now that they've acclimated people to the afternoon PPVs from places like England and Saudi Arabia, having a Wrestlemania that starts at 3 p.m. EST on Saturday might not be as jarring. It'd be 2025 at the earliest, though, so it might just be for a cheap pop.

 

I’d think that nowadays, they ain’t doing that for a cheap pop. Plus, getting a WM is almost kinda like a city getting a Super Bowl. They need some time to prepare.
