THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

EPDC said:
Although AEW is on TNT/TBS and gets a lot of comparisons to old WCW, I remember reading that TK was a huge ECW fan. I wish he tried emulating and capturing the old ECW feel instead of trying to do WWE lite.

There is a place for the smaller venue and crowd participation experience ECW offered back in the day, but AEW seems to be caught in the middle of trying to appeal to those fans while trying to all be big time, doing shows in big venues that don't sell out.

You can't have it both ways. Some of the best ECW shows took place in the Elks Lodge on Queens Blvd or in the Hammerstein Ballroom. Small ass venues but ridiculous atmosphere.

AEW should have tried to emulate this instead of trying to go head-to-head with WWE.

I think the WWE lite approach stems from the former main event WWE guys he has on payroll. They're all used to how Vince did things and are probably in Tony's ear about going the same route.

Priest carried that match and I like how they are slowly turning him Babyface. Damien Priest and Rhea both have basically outgrown The Judgement Day. Balor will cost Priest his title at Clash at the Castle and we'll get Priest versus Balor at SummerSlam.

I'd figure JD Mcdonagh would be the one that costs him the title since he the one member who gets the most ass-whippings :lol:

As for Rhea wonder when she going to start picking up on what Liv trying to do with Dominik(should they start trying to run with that)


Would be funny if other people start to pick up on it as well( like R-Truth & Miz,Becky Lynch and even Pat Mcafee:lol: )
 
I loved Damien physically stopping the post match beatdown. I see Judgement Day turning on him and/or costing him the title somewhere down the line.

Hopefully Balor wins MitB in July so that they can teasing him cashing in on Damien and just adding to the in-group tension.

I agree with the overall sentiment in here about the Usos. I want success for both brothers, at this point the best thing about them is the presentation during their entrances. Neither Uso seems comfortable in single matches nor do they have the arsenal to carry an entire match.

I'm starring to figure out the CaC dilemma during Jey's entrance. They all know that they're supposed to waive when his music starts. So they jump in super enthusiastically with the arm waves. The problem is at no point do they look left or right to get into a waving rhythm with their neighbors. So it just looks like thousands of people dancing and waving to different songs

French CaC were especially enthusiastic to start waving and thus WAY OFF rhythm. :lol:
 
Now if this holds to be true, this could be a big deal IF they allow them to hold court. Now that the Bloodline is not about Roman being the champion they can cut loose with some bigger ideas that won't automatically have a glass ceiling.

I respect their wanting to hold onto his legacy, but I hope they go in a different direction with this otherwise Bo and the rest of them will not be able to get out from under Wyatt's shadow.

Could be interesting but idk how they'll pull it off without the creative guidance of bray.

Hope it doesn't come off poorly.

Don't see a need for him outside of a legends deal. He's still recovering from a massive stroke, isn't he? I wonder if TK scoops him up to have him paired with JR on PPVs.....

Yeah, he's still recovering from the stroke and honestly even before that he was a shell of what he used to be on commentary.
I don't think he's been the same since the heart attack he had on the air.
Knowing Jerry though he's gonna try and have one last match in some indy promotion.
He really just needs to sit down, relax and get healthy again.

Great moment in wrestling history. Too bad Kerry's lifestyle got the best of him. He needed some real guidance in his life and never really received it from his father.

I worked with a lady who was an employee at a Dallas pharmacy back in the 80s and she told me Kerry would call in his orders always slurring his words and under the influence. :smh:
Damn shame because Kerry had the look and while his in-ring wasn't the greatest, he was an attraction.

I feel like Priest vs Balor at Summerslam would be the right move. I'd actually love a real Balor run with the title since his previous one never even really counted due to injury. I know Vince era wasn't a fan of smaller wrestlers or older wrestlers which Balor is both. Hopefully this era looks past that.

As far as Yeet...white people ruin everything. They can't catch a beat if you put it in a bag and handed it to them.
And once they get a hold of it, it's days are numbered before it slowly becomes corny. We been yeeting since the 90s and they about to ruin it in 2 months :lol:

All of their gimmicks were similar to different elements of Bray Wyatt already.

Concepts like fake news, chatgtp, A.I., deep fakes, Twitter memes, etc. are truly going to ruining people's ability to trust their own eyes and ears.

Y'all laughing now, but in a few years all this shit will seem a lot less funny.

Bro it’s already done. Granted the technology isn’t at its best but it’s good enough to question it. We just talked about this in another thread……it’s coming when a black man will be on trial and evidence will be some AI shit….this shit dangerous.

I hadn't thought of that.
My God I hope I'm not alive when the technology reaches that point. Most likely I will be tho, cause technology moves way too fast.

At this point, we might live long enough to see Judgement Day and the rises of the machines.
 
Goddamn.


His chest looks like....
