    Looks like Fox & USA aren't happy about Bray being released.

    I'm guessing he was a draw for them and the WWE are releasing major names.

    Going by the decision to seemingly forget NXT title reigns and ending Karrion's undefeated streak, I don't think Vince cares what happens to NXT

    Look I know that AEW is where baring some miracle ric flair will end up. But I saw it suggested by someone on Twitter and the official Twitter account of the wrestling company replied and agreed with this suggestion. That company was the NWA. I know it’s pro wrestling and all the things that go with that, but I would LOVE if flair made a stop at the NWA(which is doing stuff at the chase in St. Louis) and they got him and nick Aldis on TV with ric putting over both Aldis and the NWA worlds heavyweight title, that to me would be unbelievably cool as a wrestling fan. I mean flair, the domed globe belt, the chase in st Louis. That would be very cool.

    AEW should get Flair into their wrestling game.

    Ishii vs Moose announced for Resurgence. Take my money! Which of course means Ishii is in the US .... Get it done TK.

    Ronda giving fans guff on twitter...


    HA who knows if she's going all heel or means it.. but in any case people are getting back to her.

    I am on the side of meh who cares what she thinks or what the fans for the matter! :p



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,253 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    It wouldn't surprise me if it's a commonly held feeling in the WWE locker room. Not that I think they'd be correct in believing but I can see it being an atmosphere of bitterness towards the fans.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,221 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Next Kurt?

    Although she didn't do it with a broken freakin' neck!

    Beautiful Bobby Eaton has died aged 62 RIP.

    Any time you try to conflate every fan's opinion into a single conglomerate, then you're never going to be "spot on".


    There'll be people who found Bray boring and are happy he's gone. That doesn't mean there's not also people who didn't find him boring and are upset.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,866 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    Love or hate cornette, his eulogy for bobby is going to be amazing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,339 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Awful sad news to hear that Bobby Eaton has died. I’ve never heard anyone say anything approaching a bad word about him either as a wrestler or a person. As cornette said in the past, the reason Bobby Eaton was in WCW for so long(nearly to the end) was because he was a great wrestler and nobody in that company wanted to be known as the guy who fired Bobby Eaton.

    But he’s the constant in my favourite tag team ever the midnight express. He was also in the dangerous alliance of some all time greats. He was so smooth in the ring and had an amazing punch. A shame he didn’t get a WWE HOF(I know but it’s high profile) induction because he would have deserved it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,339 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Yeah I mean the Lance Russel one took a few goes so I can only imagine how this one goes. I wouldn’t be surprised if the release date is moved a day or two.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,886 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Dixie Carter made an appearance on ROH's women's division Wednesday last night.


    Is Session Moth still signed with ROH?





  • Registered Users Posts: 5,253 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    Bobby sounds like he was a rare human being, some beautiful tributes.

    Cornette must be in bits right now.

    Sad to hear of Bobby Eaton's passing. One of the very best tag team wrestlers without a doubt, and one of those rare cases of a guy never badmouthed by his peers.

    Rikishi, obviously.

    Just watched Midnight Express vs Fantastics from Clash of the Champions 1.


    Only about ten minutes, but holy ****, talk about a hot crowd.

    I think WWE would have no problem going back to the thunderdome.

    There's no way no pictures could be enforced though



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,286 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yeah would understand video because don't want to hear the real reactions.

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,190 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Seems like that is a venue decision and not uncommon and rarely enforced.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,221 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Yep, someone on Reddit posted ancient WWF/WWE tickets with the venue forbidding camcorder footage etc. It's a ridiculous rule that no-one pays attention to. What are they gonna do, kick out everyone who takes their phone out? Good luck.

    But Meltzer throws the chum out and people bite.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    It was like that when I went in the O2 10 years ago. Rule was always there, never inforced.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,886 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    The venue tweeted this out before deleting it, So this is where the story came from. Nobody is making anything up they are reporting what the venue tweeted.

    Some folk get all hot about nothing.


    TONIGHT – WWE SmackDown is in the building! There will be a strict NO photo/video recording policy tonight. Failure to comply will result in ejection. Wearing a mask is highly encouraged."

    This weeks Jim cornette experience podcast is a a very hard listen and I’m only starting.

    Fun fact: it actually says no recording on the WWF June Dublin 1995 tickets too. But when the show opened Fink says its ok to take personal photography on the mic.

    You do have to laugh as if someone was recording back in the day you'd see some guy with a massive camcorder on his shoulder. Hardly discreet lol.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,886 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Well the curtain call was recorded by a fan in 96, So it happened.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,253 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    Tried to listen but had to turn off. Very hard to listen to Jim so broken.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,339 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I listened in two parts. The very start and the very end are **** heartbreaking to listen to.



  • Registered Users Posts: 773 ✭✭✭TimesArrow


    whats going on with cornette?

    What exactly in that interview makes you think he is an idiot?

    All he does is talk up Shaq and Ogogo.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    That is as a by the numbers interview as you will get there nothing in there to make anyone look like an idiot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    QT working people into a shoot. Just see his CVV interview to see how much of a worker he is.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,571 ✭✭✭savemejebus


    He lied to Shaq about padding for a table bump. If you don't see the problem there then I can't help you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,286 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Well the mats were there so technically... 😀



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,190 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Surprised people are giving the pass here but that's incredibly unprofessional and hypothetically had he been injured there would be serious fallout.

    Don't give me that paying your dues nonsense either, he's not a wrestler he's a celebrity and a guest performer and every effort should be made to protect them. Personally, I agree idiot. One for doing it and one for admitting it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,886 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Major news in Mexico, CMLL Trios's Champions New Generation Dynamite have walked out of the company, If they turn up on AAA there could be a major issues in the Mexican wrestling community.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    I don't think QT would have put Shaq in any major danger if he thought it was a risky bump. I'm not saying it was a smart more or any kind of ethical one, but we've been teaching children to swim by throwing them into the water whether they're ready or not for thousands of years - this is the pro-wrestling equivalent (and seemingly the norm for this industry - an industry with a lot of potentially out-dated traditions and insider-knowledge). Again, I don't personally think it was a good thing to do, but I wouldn't be too inclined to condemn QT completely without hearing what Shaq thinks. You can't deny that the table spot was a highlight of the match.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,190 ✭✭✭ThePott


    I don't really think that's the point.

    The table spot was fine but if you have someone who is not a trained wrestler, someone coming outside the product to help your company not taking care of them is a pretty sh1tty thing to. Again I know this is 'old-school carnie' stuff, seen plenty of that in action but that doesn't make it excusable. Especially considering this is a major promotion that should hold itself to a certain professional standard. Shaq will probably brush it off because he was seemingly fine but there's no way of knowing it would have worked out safely for him. You increase the chances of it going smoothly and safely when you put some padding down.

    I would say this of any promotion, you have a duty of care to your performers, especially someone who's career lies outside of the ring like Shaq.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,602 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I also think that Shaq (luckily) might have been fine with that, but once that story goes out there, it can cost them further celebrity involvements as well. Because now any celebrity or guest coming in will think, "Sure, they say I'll be protected, but they've admitted to lying about that before!".


    Its stupid from QT, and probably guarantees he never works in or around special guests again.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,190 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Keith Lee has explained why he was off TV from January. TLDR: He did contract COVID in January (says Mia actually stayed by his side and ended up getting COVID which cost her a spot in the Royal Rumble). He had a match post-COVID in February, after blood tests they noticed some inflammation of the heart and he was forbidden from training. He had to go through various testing, including MRI machines. There was speculation that he may have a heart disease. Over time the inflammation of his heart went down.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    TripleMania on tomorrow, looking forward to it.

    Omega/Andrade is the standout to most fans obviously, will be interesting to see what happens with the belt collector there. It's hard to envision Omega losing these days but AAA have been hinting towards an Andrade/Psycho Clown feud so it's a tough one to call.

    The Psycho Clown/Rey Escorpion mask vs hair match and the Lucha Bros triple-threat tag title match will both be great. Faby Apache/Deonna could be memorable for the wrong reasons, Purazzo has not meshed well with the promotion in her previous appearances and Faby can be pretty stiff with non-Mexican wrestlers.

    Not the easiest show to watch live, I don't think you can legally outside of Mexico but it will be up on all the usual spots afterwards I'm sure.

    Is Andrade signed with AEW or just don't appearances? Again, I think AEW are the ones making decisions on when Kenny loses a title.

    As it's title vs title I think Deonna will win since they're already building her title match against Melina.
