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

Looks like Jericho gets his "All In" match against Will Ospreay. Hopefully Jericho does the right thing and puts over Ospreay. No logical reason at this point in Jericho's career should he be beating Ospreay.

Why are MJF and Adam Cole wrestling TWICE on this "All In" card? Not only that you got your World Champion wrestling on the pre-show. Make it make sense.

Stadium. That should be wild.

Wasn't Eddie Kingston already aligned with the Lucha Brothers at one point in AEW only to screw them over shortly thereafter?

To set up some sort of angle that "needs it". I still wonder if Cole eventually reunites with The Kingdom who he was with back in ROH

I have no clue who this guy is nor have I heard of his band. I'm not saying I believe this story but at the same time, I'd be lying if I said I couldn't see it happening. It's so damn random. Lolz

I could definitely see it happening. Aubrey projects the vibe of being full of herself. AEW has really gassed her head up. She really thinks she's important.
 


He's entitled to how he feels. But we know that Shelton could have easily been a bigger star. I don't buy the personality argument that has been used in the past. Because WWE has pushed countless bozos who were the drizzling shits on the mic, and in the ring. They just have this thing, well Vince just had this thing with saddling folks (mainly black folks) with buffoon type characters when they didn't want to put some work into playing up what's actually likable about a person because the creative guys couldn't "relate" to them. Dude was Brock's tag partner and not once did they play it to Shelton's advantage. The Hurt business killed that have done more, but they killed that off.
 
I just saw the news. Here we go. It's already bad on the surface, now we gotta see where this goes.

Shelton suffers the same fate a lot of educated and well-spoken black wrestlers encounter.
Think Keith Lee, Ricochet, Kofi, Powerhouse Hobbs, Apollo Crews etc.
They don't fit the stereotypical "black wrestler" (like a Booker T, Mark Henry, or even a New Jack) that a mostly white audience can relate to.
Therefore, they they are told by non-black writers to portray characters that aren't really them and the only thing the announcers emphasize about them is their athleticism and nothing else.
Therefore, they mostly get stuck as mid card wrestlers throughout their career.
