New Jack was a piece of garbage as a human but when Natural Born Killaz hit over the PA in ECW....you knew **** was gonna go down.

The Nick Gage dark side of the ring was really good.

It was entertaining, but that whole death match **** is not for me, and the dude really isn't someone you can root for imo.

Good for him for making a living out of it I guess but... Yeah, just not my cup of tea.

And anyone who lets someone cut their mouth with a goddamn pizza cutter, wtf.

The point of these shows is so that you don't root for these people.

Nick Gage is not a good person obviously. I respect what he puts his body through for like a couple hundred people at most. He seems to legit enjoy maiming himself.

New Jack has passed away at 58.

Tbh, I'm surprised he made it to 58.

So much WTF packed into this clip. No one is standing by with a freaking extinguisher? Also, was that a weed Wacker to the balls?

Postby **iamjs** » Sun May 16, 2021 5:06 pm

Are they putting it out with their leftover Monster drinks? Way to prep for such an unnecessary spot.

I really hope this clip makes it over to Cornette.

Wrestlemania Backlash is a terrible name for a PPV. Also I’m so sick of the thunder dome. It’s time to end it WWE. Wrestling shows need live audiences.

Postby **nocera** » Sun May 16, 2021 8:08 pm

Also I turned on the PPV to see the some weird Army of the Dead tie in with zombies walking around backstage. And I’m out.

No, seriously, there was a product placement zombie lumberjack match.

Postby **the wicked child** » Sun May 16, 2021 8:37 pm

They were like we just had a feel good moment w the mysterios winning the tag team belts and follow it with **** zombies. Brilliant.

Postby **Morkle** » Mon May 17, 2021 9:20 am

That zombie match was awful. The WWE sh*ts on AEW for violent matches, but then they have the over the top corny stuff. Just stupid.

Postby **the wicked child** » Mon May 17, 2021 1:05 pm

Yeah, hilarious that the WWE Officials were claiming that AEW "set wrestling back 30 years" and then bust out a product placement ZOMBIE match on a PPV.

There were issues with the B&G match (obvious blading, the presentation of Jericho's landing), but to suggest THAT somehow set wrestling back when you bust out ZOMBIES is well... embarrassing.

It's actually a shame too because there were some decent matches, that not being among them of course... but most likely the only thing that will be talked about is the fricken Zombies, which is extra lame when you had the Mysterios make history right before it.

No, seriously, there was a product placement zombie lumberjack match.

I thought this was done in a tongue-in-cheek way, but no...the zombies appeared to be a legitimate threat to the competitors.

Yes. And they ate The Miz in kayfabe after the match.

I watched the rerun of Backlash, so I could FF through parts I didn't want to watch. The Roman/Cesaro match was great. They should have had this Roman back when more people were watching the product. Anybody could have told them that.

I don't care what yall think, I thought the Zombie match was good fun and nothing more. I don't know why, but I thought it was funny seeing Morrison parkouring through zombies.

Postby **nocera** » Mon May 17, 2021 1:52 pm

The zombie match was neither good nor fun.

The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior came up on r/squaredcircle the other day. I watched it when it was released but havent seen it since. It's really fascinating. It's literally a 90 minute burial. I wish the WWE still hated the Warrior. He deserves to be hated.

The board is forcing an embed so you'll have quote me to see the link. Way to go, board.

Pathetic.

“I made a mistake,” Mr. Cena said in his apology video. “Now I have to say one thing which is very, very, very important: I love and respect China and Chinese people.”

He continued: “I’m very sorry for my mistakes. Sorry. Sorry. I’m really sorry. You have to understand that I love and respect China and Chinese people.”

Wow...that's stunning. Can you imagine NBC Universal/Comcast/Disney buying WWE?

Apparently Braun had a huge contract set to pay out between now and 2023. Some are saying that it may just be a cost cutting measure prior to going back on the road. Still, he was Universal champion last year. Black JUST debuted a new character (there's even a t-shirt preorder on the shop). The rest haven't done much recently.
