2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

Also, Jericho should wear a shirt or singlet in the ring. Something to hide the gut.

 

I gotta hand it to AEW they booked this really well as a personal issue between the Bucks and Omega and basically took Tony Kahn out of the feud. Nicely done

 

Not difficult. The Bucks fired Omega and Hangman Page from The Elite.

 

Hangman was just suspended. And I’m sure he will be the fourth man on Omega’s side.

 

Maybe go the old Andre one strap look.

 

When I was in college, my school library had a great collection of sports books, which I spent as much time with as my textbooks. The library only had one book that I found on pro wrestling (this is in the early 1990s.).

That one book was kinda a psychological look at pro wrestling, and basically, as I recall, focused on late-70s/early 80s Georgia Championship Wrestling. I’m pretty sure they mentioned Black Saturday, but probably didn’t call it that (the book came out in the mid/8os. I didn’t totally understand everything that the author was saying, as it was in the Kayfabe Era.

I wish I remembered what the name of the book/study was. It’d be interesting to read with a modern perspective.

 

Today, in "As the Pervs Turn"...

Ace goes from victim to ally in a month's time.

 

It's stuff like this that makes me wish TNA had greater exposure, because this guy is brilliant.

 

Apparently, Gulak is officially gone, too. That leaves Tozawa and Cedric as the final survivors of 205 Live.

Four of the cuts were the ones who advanced off that Next Gen show they just had on Roku, which was filmed before Mania 39 in LA.

 

I know they never get a chance to host these shows, but these international crowds are always so white-hot, even for a curtain-jerking eight-person tag.

Also interesting that they introduced Bayley and Naomi first, then the heel four of Stratton and Damage Control, THEN brought out Bianca and Jade.

 

Ironic that he was this big-time, can't-miss, next Angle signing and it's his brother who's getting almost weekly TV time.

At least I can eat I saw one of his few matches on the main roster -- a dark match vs. Grimes before a SmackDown in Atlanta.
