Pro Wrasslin' Thread

While waiting for my flight at the Orlando airport, I noticed two very large men standing directly next to me. I realized after a few minutes that one was Mojo Rawley and the other dude was one of the Authors of Pain. They were joined by Nia Jax a little later, then Elias and Alexa Bliss. It wasn't until Alexa arrived that a few people recognized them and approached Alexa for pictures.

I didn't approach them or sneak any pics since that seemed sleazy but it was interesting to stand next to these people and realize how huge they are, especially Elias. Except Alexa. She's ridiculously tiny.

I probably wouldn't recognize Mojo and I couldn't pick the Authors of Pain if they walked in my front door right now. I was on the floor at Extreme Rules (well, "Rules") and yes Alexa Bliss is a tiny person.

Not hearing much about this HISTORIC ANNOUNCEMENT Stephanie will have on RAW tonight, but I'm guessing its womens tag championships. Which I couldn't think of anything more unnecessary for this company right now. 2nd probably to Stephanie being on tv.

The rumor I had read was a women-only PPV? Or was that already announced?

... 'cause that's not the definition of sexist.

Supposedly there will be both a women's tag title and a women only PPV. The tag titles will look similar to the current tag belts but on white leather with a "slightly more feminine" looking gladiator. Whatever that means. They will be defended on both brands.

Hows about getting a World title belt for your flagship brand @wwe?

Postby **iamjs** » Mon Jul 23, 2018 8:11 pm

yep, that looks like what's happening. HHHHH just had all the women step forward and is giving them the "we supported you" speech, and is now talking about the women main eventing PPVs.

There's like 3 good women's wrestlers

Only if they bring back my lady Beth Phoenix.

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Mon Jul 23, 2018 8:51 pm

lmao since when do we have women jobber tag teams?

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Mon Jul 23, 2018 8:53 pm

She'd be one. Beth Phoenix looked straight out of a time warp at the Royal Rumble. Looked exactly the same as 10 years ago. Kaitlyn is apparently coming back. I can't remember if she was any good or not.

Beth Phoenix is my lady.

lol I gathered that. I was talking about her being in great shape and just as good in the ring as she was a decade ago.

How goddamn great is Elias? He has to love this too. He doesn't have to wrestle all that much - Gets cheered - and is on tv multiple times a night.

Cool story about Grand Master Sexay. Seemingly just a really good guy who had his problems.

I'll have to find the tweet later, but Lance Storm had a really odd story about never being able to meet him.

When Storm was released from WWF, it was Christopher's first day. After Christopher was released, Storm returned to WWE.

Granted theres really nothing malicious about these tweets, but Lance Storm doesn't seem to be a wordsmith or anything when wrestlers pass.

lol, not really. I went through about three page downs worth of tweets and kinda got that opinion about him in general.

Not as bad as New Jack's string of tweets...that dude is demented.

“Jerry Lawler, now that your son is dead, why don’t you go join him you sorry f***!”

Elias is great! He's made Lashley interesting.

Show is so bad.

'Hey! maybe if we have Brock act like he doesn't care about stuff, and insults the Double U Double U Eee universe the fans will cheer Roman hoping he beats him at Summer Slam"

Postby **iamjs** » Mon Jul 30, 2018 11:07 pm

did they acknowledge Volkoff or Christopher? I've had it on in the background and there's nothing that caught my ear.

At the very least, I'm surprised they didn't even do a mini-segment for Volkoff since he's in the HOF.
