THE WRESTLING THREAD: HELL HAS FROZE OVER JOHN CENA HAS GONE FULL HEEL

[Mastermind2002]

Agreed. I emailed the following clip to my dad & said to watch for Dante. Pops doesn't follow pro wrestling.

He really enjoyed the clip & said Dante was excellent ...

That's fantastic. I wish my mother still watched pro wrestling. We used to have a lot of fun watching it together when I was a kid. We're talking 84-91. We would watch NWA, WWF, and WCCW. She stopped watching sometime in the early 90's. I tried to get her back into it last year but she wasn't feeling it. She does however like the "Dark Side Of Ring" series. She liked the one they did on Macho Man, New Jack and the Bruiser Brody.

Speaking of Rey Fenix - I've emailed this highlight montage to many people - what a talent!

There's not a better high flyer in the business. I once thought Ricochet was the best high flyer until I came across Rey Fenix.

Agreed. Really enjoyed the 80s and 90s. Watched up until the late-90s / early-00s in HS / college. Lost track for a number of years. Would see occasional highlights. Got back into it in recent years after the buzz on sports / MMA podcasts. The TSN MMA Show's host would mention it (as AEW airs on TSN). And of course Kel Dansby & Andreas Hale (co-hosts of The Corner podcast) always talk about the good shit in boxing, mma, hiphop, pop culture & pro wrestling.

One of my best wrestling memories is my late aunt (passed in 2012) taking us kids to see one of the big WWF events when they were in town in the late-80s or early-90s. At the old Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. We had great seats.

Regarding Dark Side of the Ring - yes - great docuseries. Has she heard of the series they did on A&E as well? Those are worth checking out too. Aired this past spring - may be available if she has A&E On Demand. They profiled Stone Cold, Booker T, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Piper, Ultimate Warrior, and Macho Man.

She hasn't checked those out yet. She liked Piper so I'm sure she would definitely check that one out.

 

[Helico-pterFunk]

She hasn't checked those out yet.

They were pretty solid. Very informative. Believe they were 2 hours - so when DVR'd and skipping all ads probably in the range of an hour & 20 mins.

Jade I love you and I think you're gonna be great but please work on the delivery of your promos. This isn't it. It sounds too forced. You can have attitude but it has to be conveyed where it doesn't sound over the top like a cartoon. It has to be natural. Keep practicing. You'll get to Britt Baker levels in no time.

Should tell Brandi the same thing

Scared and aroused both at the same time... scaroused??!!

 

[Mastermind2002]

Brandi is actually not a bad promo as long as she doesn't do that fake hood rat nonsense she did when she was feuding with Jade.

 

[Mastermind2002]

I hope he can get back to the level he was at when he was in NXT.

[chrislee]

Damn Pieter needs to be replaced.

 

[Mastermind2002]

Tonight's card for the first Episode of AEW "Rampage".

Miro and Britt should retain however I'm not sure Omega retains. They might just throw Christian a bone and have him win the impact title and then have Omega face someone else at "All Out". There's a twist somewhere in this that we don't know about. Will be interesting to see what it is.

 

[Mastermind2002]

Yeah, she's bad but to replace Pieter? Hell no!

 

[fu2]

What's crazy is that if she delivered that promo the way she would she is pissed off at that happens to her real life, she'd probably would have been 10x more convincing.

 

[XXXplosive]

Bro, that shit was SOOO bad. It's clear she was trying to play the role of a stereotypical "ghetto black chick" when she's probably lived her entire life in the suburbs around white people.

 

[Mastermind2002]

Explains why she hasn't been on tv in a minute.

 

[chrislee]

Yeah, she's bad but to replace Pieter? Hell no!

I stand by what I said. This chick has a better body.

 

[Mastermind2002]

I stand by what I said. This chick has a better body.

She has a better ass but that's about it. Pieter is much prettier and sexier. With that said you like what you like so I can't fault you for that.

They should get rid of Chavo and have him manage and talk for Andrade.

Ric Flair is the Pete Rose of Wrestling. He'll do anything for a buck.

I agree, other girl got a little bit more ass, that's it. Pieter is just flat out sexy.

 

[chrislee]

Sucks that Trips is being blamed. It's not his fault.

 

[chrislee]

Congratulations to them. Hope WWE don't do any fucked them over.

 

[Mastermind2002]

Got to admit that jacket is sick!

 

[Mastermind2002]

Congratulations to them. Hope WWE don't do any fucked them over.

Even if WWE releases Gargano he's taylor made for AEW. He wouldn't be out of a job for too long. Congrats on the baby though!

 

[Mastermind2002]

HHH deserve some of the blame for NXT's downfall but not all the blame. NXT was at its best when it was a 1 hour show on the WWE Network. Once they decided to go up against AEW is when their problems started. They then started to hot shot their booking instead of letting the storylines play out organically. Some of their best talent started to get called up to the main roster crippling them of star power. Then when they were regularly getting destroyed in the ratings they decided to send Charlotte there thinking she would pop a rating but essentially didn't more the needle at all and buried Rhea Ripley in the process. If NXT is a developmental brand then it should've remained a developmental brand.

Thank goodness she's gone for a couple years cause she sucks in the ring. Teaming up with Indi Hartwell was the best thing to happen to her.

 

[XXXplosive]

Got to admit that jacket is sick!

She's the most over wrestler (male or female) in AEW right now. She's what Becky was in WWE a couple years ago.
She's come along way from those god-awful promos she cut in the beginning of AEW as a white-meat babyface.

Candice has been one of the best female workers in the business.
