Random Wrestling Thoughts (Part 2)

The White Wolf

I remember seeing a photo of Taker and Ricky Hatton and it shocked me. I took for granted just how big these fcukers are. Considering how agile Taker was it was amazing.

What’s nearly more surprising to me is how tiny the women are in real life.

i met a few wrestlers years ago, sheer size of them is impressive but what stood out for me was Ezekiel Jackson stopping to sign autographs, he had a bunch of bananas in his hand easily 6/7 on the bunch, he put them in his armpit while he took pictures and signed.

and there is no way you could tell they were there, his arms were just that big he made them disappear

Started re watching LU and Ezekiel was great in it he had something about him he was on big man.

The majority of women in wwe for example aren’t Sasha and AJ size but yeah it does seem that watching them on TV isn’t a good representation of any wrestlers size.

Anyway I was rewatching one of my favourite WMs ever in 19 last night and I know I’m watching this nearly 2 decades after the fact but if the match with the rock hadn’t been Austin’s last match the tank was running low so he wasn’t long for in ring action.

Also, im even more impressed at Brock as a rookie and how well he protected angle given his neck was in shocking condition. And poor Brock hasn’t an clue where he is after the shooting star press.

Randomly thought about that Reddit user dolphins1925 who used to spoil WWE ppvs from years ago :pac: It's gas looking back. He was just looking at the money going on with the betting odds. I reckon wrestlers and production staff still be placing bets

Kind of mental to take bets on a predetermined sport.

Ruby with a "normal" makeover...



Suits her! Don't think it's permanent though.

It's fun to do for the Rumble. Really gets you invested in someone winning it.

Trying to think who she resembles. Definitely wouldn't be long term considering the amount of tattoo covering involved.

Speaking of makeup, was just looking her up with no makeup based on that first photo and saw this

Gallery here. Maybe no makeup but they do look photoshopped or it's the lighting

Still a while to go but think Big E for the rumble win

After being made over I mean. Without the makeover she always reminds me of Richard Harmon. After the makeover she actually looks a bit like Erica Cerra.

With the regular cringet Fury/ McIntyre banter on twitter, are they building towards some sort of Saudi match?

Fury v McIntyre has potential. Fury can be a great celeb wrestler if hes allowed to by his people. Lots of charidma and can actually talk. I wont hold his feud with Braun against him, but Id say Drew could make a good feud with him.

They should hold off until fams come back for that one and keep it off the Saudi show..... but using the Saudis may be the only way they can afford him and profit.

One of the words in that line means more to WWE than the other. Can you guess what it is? Hint: It's not "fans"

Agent Coulson

I wonder is that mass murdering Irishman getting involved in someway as Fury's promoter since he has dropped back behind the scenes in the boxing.

Before the Katie taylor fight, they announced the sponsors... One of them was a scaffold company from Ireland who seemingly don't exist...... Assumed that was him sneaking in the back door.

Youd imagine they wouldnt want to promote a fake company no?

I’m sure they would happily take the money from a fake company.

Bobby Roode as a member of Retribution ??

The man suddenly disappeared, him and the hacker gone back to their home planets

I think he lives in Canada and can’t get into America or he at least couldn’t for a while

He's not the worst

Deff one of those whose NXT run was much better than his main roster career. The Glourious entrance was great

ThePott

If it wasn't for his theme music he wouldn't have a character on the main roster.

Also since his theme is CFO$ maybe it's gonna be changed too.

beakerjoe

Hes very wooden, both in character and in the ring. He was an over entrance theme.... and thats stake now.

sky88

He’s a great tag team wrestler for me and got lucky enough the theme song catching on

I know it’s early days, but I’m starting to think Riddle isn’t going to be a main event star like many ( including myself) Thought he would be.. he seems to have it all ( looks, physique and can go in the ring) but whether it’s bad booking or not, it seems wwe don’t know what to do with him or are losing faith in him. Also, the bro schtick is already very stale and has become worse since he moved to Smackdown. I don’t think he has the ability ( right now anyway) to cut great promos to really push him on to the next level. And of course, there are the Speaking Out allegations.

Sid Justice was great. Should have gone over Hogan at Mania 8

Just came across an Irish youtuber called eyepatch wolf.

He has some great content but his 3 videos in wrestling are just fantastic.

My non wrestling friends couldnt believe the amount of nuances and subtleties of pro wrestling.

Well worth a watch, about half an hour each

Corbin even alluded to it at Payback.

Feel like somebody (maybe Prichard) has explained why before.

People saw how quickly he adapted to pro wrestling from an in ring stamdpoint and saw similarities between him and Angle. He is quick smooth in terms of his ability.

But Angle, as a personality is head and shoulders above him. Riddle has a long way to go.

He is hindered by this bro bollox to be fair.

So is the Mysterio family WWE's answer to the Nightmare Family? Since they always come out together now.
And were they trying to awkwardly tease something with Aalyah and Murphy?
