2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Technically speaking, Jericho too, although he only had 20-something matches in ECW. He even said in his first book that fans link him to ECW even though he was barely there.

 

Is it weird MJF hasn’t mentioned CMP claiming to be the Real World Champion? It feels weird.

 

Rey Mysterio and Juventud Guerrera had cups of coffee there as well, and are still going.

 

Tajiri is also still active in Japan and Korea. He just won a title of some sort.

 

It's good news that he regained consciousness, but I can't imagine it being too long until we get the inevitable bad news.



He obviously never had any 5-star specials, but Mongo had a perfectly fine post-script to his NFL career with WCW. And I always enjoy seeing him get ejected from Wrigley Field for bashing the ump from the press box while singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

Meanwhile, Grayson really seems to be leaning heavily into stealing the Rock's bits. Does this lead to the shock cameo tomorrow? Maybe Rock also involves himself in the main event?

 

STREET PROFIT HEEL TURN!!!

 

I dont think its Rock but I could see Waller getting the Elias Memorial Squashed by Legend spot. Undertaker perhaps?

Altho I thought I saw Waller on LA Knights battle royal graphic which could complicate throwing a Waller Effect in the middle of the ppv

 

I really hope no one takes this the wrong way, but I'm to the point where I want to see an end to his suffering. The recent photos just sadden me, knowing how healthy and how much of a personality he was in football and wrestling circles. I mean, this condition is not going to get any better.

I thought it a dumb idea to make him a part of the Horsemen, but I really didn't have a problem with him involved in WCW and the broadcast booth. And, I also remember that incident at Wrigley, and our favorite umpire, Angel Hernandez glaring at him.

Switching the commentary teams is fine, but I don't get having Cole AND Patrick as part of a three-man crew on SmackDown. I could get having two color guys (a heel and a face), but not having two PBP guys.

I think it works fine with Dynamite. Excalibur is the PBP guy, Taz is the color guy and Schiavone has been in the business so long, I see him more of a color guy just with his knowledge. Plus, he's just funny as a gives-no-fucks old man.

 

FTR vs. Bucks at Wembley. Guessing that's about as close as we'll get to Punk vs. Elite right now.

 

So Cody uses the steps on Brock and doesn't get DQ'ed? And it's not a stipulation match that would allow them.

 

I'm just glad we didn't see Little Brock by the end of that match. His trunks were hanging on by a thread. Good thing he wore underwear.
