Pro Wrasslin' Thread

So WWE is adding an extra, commercial free 30 minutes to smack down this week that they will no doubt hot shot with Lesnar/Reigns etc.

Of course this overlaps the start of Rampage which is potentially going to have CM Punk.

AEW just announced a live "buy in" at 9 on YouTube which will have Lee Moriarty v Bobby Fish and fricken Brian Danielson v Minoru Suzuki.

Things are heating up.

Tony Khan has also been upping his talk that AEW is better than the WWE product. WWE seems like they're starting to be concerned about what AEW is doing.

Punk vs Matt Sydal will open Rampage, and will air commercial free.

For those of you who didn't watch, check out Bryan vs Suzuki. Bryan has been putting on classics so far in his early run with AEW. I'm also loving Suzuki's run so far.

Apparently Crown Jewel was today.

By the way, the fact that your female wrestlers (and referees) have to wear the Duggar’s modesty swimsuits might be a sign that you shouldn’t be in that country.

Women’s revolution. Just not in oppressive countries.

Is it time to give Divas a chance again?

Dustin + Danielson was fun.

I really don't understand why they had Powerhouse Hobbs lose to an injured Orange Cassidy last night though... Bad decision IMO. Not really a great way to capitalize on his match with Punk.

Hobbs-Moxley might have been interesting, not really interested in seeing OC face him. (Yes, Moxley will beat that Dark Order dweeb in about 30 seconds).

Apparently Charlotte and Becky had a big blow up backstage last night after some weird segment where they swapped belts (i don’t know, I don’t watch this ****).

It’s only a matter of time before Ashley Flair is All Elite.

Well you see, someone thought it would be absolutely hi-larious if the raw women's champion was drafted to smack down and vice versa.

And then of course you have to do a televised title swap. This is such good ****, pal.

Totally unrelated, scary moment during Dynamite when Lance Archer landed on his head doing a moonsault. I'm not sure who was supposed to win but they had Kingston roll him up real quick. (spoiler: it doesn't matter because the winner was going to lose to Danielson next week anyway)

Eventually left under his own power, thankfully.

Yikes. Hopefully the company isn’t going under.

Postby **the wicked child** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 6:51 pm

Yeah, that is nuts. They are claiming that they need to re-evaluate their business or something going forward, which doesn't sound good.

AEW is basically what ROH could’ve been with more money behind it. The only wrestler I know from ROH is Danhausen and I’ve never even seen him wrestle. He’s super entertaining though.

Hangman being revealed as the Stay Puft Marshmallow man....pro wrestling is the best sometimes.

Also Hangman is ovvvveeerrrrrr huuuugggge.

That whole match was ridiculous, but in a fun way. If you can get over wearing a giant white fat suit basically, you are definitely over.

I don't know if Danhausen can wrestle but he is definitely a hell of a character. He will not have a problem finding work if ROH ends up folding.

Ouch.

I don't watch them nearly enough to know what the "re-imagining" is, but it sounds like they have enough money to pay all wrestlers until the end of the years and some of them until March.

Both of Danielson's matches in the tournament have been excellent.

It's too bad the other side of the bracket is kind of a joke. Moxley squashing a Dark Order rando and an injured Orange Cassidy somehow beating Powerhouse Hobbs.
