2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Good thing AEW is in a nice, friendly city this weekend where the crowd won't in any way revolt in support of their favorite son.

 

No single employee is bigger than the company — any company. This had to happen.

 

Gotta admit, I probably will watch the beginning of Collision just to see if and how they address this, and what the crowd is like. Maybe Punk will pop one more big rating on his way out the door.

 

“Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. And I hold, in my hands, the real world heavyweight championship belt. You see, while our Tribal Chief Roman Reigns is the undisputed WWE champion, that means that he is undisputed in the WWE. The man who holds this belt is the champion of the world, not just the WWE. Comparing this belt to the undisputed WWE championship belt is like comparing ice cream to cake. They’re both delicious and, while you can tell by both my waistline and that I worship the ground that our Tribal Chief walks on, I love ice cream as much as cake. And comparing the man who holds this belt and our Tribal Chief Roman Reigns to any other WWE competitor is like comparing ice cream cake to horse manure. The man who holds this belt may still be under contract to another organization, but I promise you, he is in his way to WWE very soon. And the man who holds this belt is …. C…. M …. Punk!”

 

Unlikely. Punk doesn’t need the money, wants creative freedom, and blew up WWE on his way out the door.

 

Tony just did a speech announcing Punk’s firing. He even said that he personally felt unsafe last week.

Wow.

 

Oh, I agree. But it’s fun to think about.

 

Well, that’s one way to win back the Chicago crowd.

 

Trish and Becky just challenged the rest of the roster to top that.

Trish doing us middle-aged folk proud.

 

Trish had no expectation to pull off something like this. Kudos to her.

Not bad for someone who started as T&A's valet and Vince's sidepiece.

 

“ … I am Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy, and I do not have a catchphrase.”

Love it.
