2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

See kids, this is what is known in the professional wrestling business as a promo.

 

Also one of the oldest pro wrestlers, Abe Jacobs, died Monday at age 95. Sounds like Heaven got one heckuva main event. RIP

'Honest Abe' Jacobs, world's oldest pro wrestler, dead at 95

 

This story begs the question for me -- are there (or were there) any other newspapers that had something resembling a "pro wrestling beat," like Charleston has long had with Mike Mooneyham?

I can think of the Calgary Sun, which I think was involved with the Slam Wrestling website, unless I'm mistaken. I know Dan Gelston has been AP's designated "pro wrestling guy" among his usual work out of Philly.

 

The usual excellence from WWE with their tribute packages.

 

Other than the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the drafting of the Constitution, and the Flyers beating up the Soviet Red Army team, this is arguably the finest moment in the history of Philadelphia.

 

Back in the 80s and 90s, the New York Daily News had the Slammer, which was a weekly column, and would also print the results of shows at the Garden, Nassau Coliseum and the Meadowlands.

 

So, the BCC has Santana/Ortiz + TBA for Stadium Stampede.

Now, who will replace Fenix (who apparently can't go because of visa issues) for the faces?

If Danielson is still out, maybe Chris Hero w/ BCC (and his bud, Claudio)? Nigel McGuinness with the faces, for the hometown pop?

 

Other than the day I was born, too.

 

felt to me like with Fenix written off they can just go 5 on 5 now

 

They did. Excalibur announced it as part of his "micro machines" announcement of the All In card.

 

It's going to be sad seeing the bromance end Sunday.

 

Damn. Bray Wyatt is dead.
