2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

With all the nonsensical plot points and mysteries that draw out forever with no real resolution, I'm pretty sure that Bray's segments are now being produced by JJ Abrams.

 

Can’t be. No random lens flares.

 

An amazing behind-the-scenes doc on Sami.

 

Great job with the A&E bio on Jake. Nothing we didn't already know, but it was much cleaner than Dark Side, since it had the WWE participation.

(Not surprisingly, no inclusion of that past few years with AEW.)

Great to see the input from some of his kids (though he's still alienated from four of them).

And thank the Lord for DDP, who's probably a greater Hall of Famer for what he's done out of the ring than in it. Jake is so clear and bright now.

 

Lord. We really are getting Brock and Omos at Mania, and it's not just a plot to get to Lashley.

Hopefully, they'll just keep it basic with the old Hogan/Andre "can he lift him?" formula.

 

Oh theyre gonna rerun Becky Ronda in a tag title match arent they? And F Bayley right out of Mania for what a 3rd straight year

 

Montez and Bianca in Titanic was cute, but not as good as Becky and Seth in Batman/Joker.

 

Seth's character work is so flippin' wonderful.

 

Excuse me for a minute. I gotta pull up my pants ... and do the Muscle Man Dance.

 

And there's the six-way tag for Mania. Unless they go with Bayley vs. Trish straight up -- if Trish can hold her own like she did with Charlotte, but that was 4 years ago.

 

i dont understand why they put the belts on Becky and Lita if its the 6 way, since Ronda’s been all over social say she and Shayna want the tag titles

 

It was really good. (The Dark Side episode was a very tough TV to watch.) Man, he cut some awesome promos. I can't always remember what I had for lunch but I still remember the "I never said I could walk on water.....but then again I never tried" one. And "trust me. trust me." Because that's the last thing you would do with him. And I'd never thought about it until it was mentioned: he was the rare heel who never raised his voice. Good to hear the late, great Ed Whalen, the voice of Stampede Wrestling, ringside in one of those early clips of Jake's career.
