2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

At freaking last, we have the Mysterio match. Though I wonder if they're going to tack on a retirement stipulation.

 

I’m thinking Rhea’s winning the title and turning on Dom and the Judgment Day.

Speaking of which, Rey nailing Dom got one helluva pop.

 

In a past life, Gunther vs. Butch would be a 30-minute, 5-star classic.

 

The annual "...and the rest" match. A bit of a bummer to see Lashley relegated to this with the Wyatt match called off.

And kudos to Gargano. In the battle royal only about 16 hours before he's got to a no-DQ war with Waller.

 

Must say, I got all the actual wrestling questions, but missed the Batista question -- just because I'm not into the whole comic book/superhero genre of movies.

 

I’m thinking Lashley and LA Knight are going to do something to set up a match for WM.

And there’s a rumor that a certain HOFer may show up to give Knight the big finishing move.

 

I didn't know Sharmell had a finishing move.

 

During an NXT house show, Tyler Bate wrestled some guy named Tiller Bucktrot.

I was thinking that seemed like a ridiculous creation from the WWE create-a-wrestler machine.

It's his actual name.

AEW All Access preview is on right now. MJF and Danhausen are the only ones staying in character so far. Britt Baker is absolutely burying Thunder Rosa to the camera.

 

I wasnt gonna watch the aew reality show but if Danhausens on it I’m gonna have to reconsider

 

Though I don't think she actually needed it yet, Charlotte's Bio was pretty good. She did talk a lot about countering Reid's death and her issues with insecurities of her body.

I was surprised that there was a very brief clip of "Manny Andrade, Charlotte's Husband" from last year's WrestleMania.

The backstory of Yoko in his Bio was nothing new, but still just as heartbreaking. Gone in just his mid-30s -- younger than Roman and the Usos are now.

 

He was on it for all of 10 seconds. But all in character. Same as MJF.

It was all Bucks and Britt and Adam Cole. Bucks kept talking about being suspended, but never said why. Britt buried ThunderRosa for not working with an injury. Cole’s stuff was all about coming back from the two concussions.
