Random Wrestling Thoughts (Part 2)

Anyone got any decent wrestling merchandise? I just bought a signed Ric Flair magazine and a signed Bret Hart magazine

No they don’t and when watching Andre the giant matches mostly, it’s a very logical spot for a guy his size, because it doesn’t matter what size you are, if your arms are tied up in a wrestling ring then you can’t move.

There’s lot of spots that aren’t done nowadays or not the way they were originally intended. I loved was Sgt Slaughters over the top turnbuckle into the ring post spot which he did a few times.

I seem to remember Pretty Deadly or some heel team having one member tied up, getting free to cost the other team the win, before tying himself up again before the ref could notice.

Some of those 90s/2000s attitude stuff were just so gruesome

Lita and the Hardys getting attacked by Stone Cold and Triple H. Lita took full on hard chair shots

Rated RKO beating Ric Flair to a Pulp

JR been set on fire by Kane (imagine been in the crowd that night watching that)

Jeff Jerrart attacking random females

Among others

Is Saraya from AEW's gimmick that she might let you shift her in the Fibbers smoking area?

Bobby and gorilla were absolute gold. You should watch the prime time wrestling studio and on location stuff. It’s still funny over thirty years ago.

As I mentioned Bobby heenan a couple of posts above, here’s a promo from the AWA. It’s why I love the promos from years ago, as it’s still believable all these years later.

So now that Vince is pretty much on the outs and Endeavor own the WWE who will pick the HOF inductees

Will some of those 50 wrestlers who took the class action lawsuit finally have a chance of getting in.

Will Demolition finally get in.

Good one there 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Well, with Vince being pushed out and WWE continuing it's transition to being a soulless corporate entity, we can't rule out the HoF being scrapped entirely as a cost-saving measure.

The most random of random wrasslin’ thoughts for the day.

I love the idea of movesets. Adds so much to the styles, characters and perception of a wrestler.

My person favs are Scott Hall, Either Steiner Brother and Bray Wyatt.

And for anyone asking Fallaway slams are *chefs kiss*.

Corbin won a gold medal in a jiu jitsu tournament over the weekend. He won golden glove awards in boxing too and his wiki says he was noted for getting in fights/scuffles at training in his 2 years in the NFL.

Probably one of the most legit hard men in wrestling and you wouldn't really think it.

30 years ago today.

There will never be anyone as good as the The Brain again in wrestling.

Something that's becoming rare enough these days are face painted wrestlers

Supposed it's only so much can be done and the guys like Sting and Dustin Rhodes/Goldust are masters of that look

Last wwe guy must of been 'Stardust'

Was gonna post that as well. Was a bit mad watching it.

Goldust definitely one of the greats non world champions in WWF/WWE

Deserves to go in the HOF

I'm surprised no one mentioned Jeff Hardy as someone who uses face paint.

We're overdue a purple and black Judgement Day version.

Gallows & Anderson has the best contract in pro wrestling.

Two years into a full time 5 year contract on big money and only get called up if the are going to appear on TV so they can stay at home and don't have to turn up only to sit in catering twiddling their tumbs if they aren't going to be on TV.

Can't think of another thread for this really but I've just started listening to Jon Moxley's audiobook and it's so good. His delivery is great and natural. I find some narrators of audiobooks to be a bit stilted but with him it's like he's sitting with you telling the story and giving you a laugh. I'm not too long into it but you can tell he wasn't ever at home in WWE.

Yeah I'll probably get that one too. Likewise I have credits to use in Audible.

With Vince no longer having any real power how how will the wrestling world fandom react when HHH the new new real power player is the one Future Endeavoring talent.

Will he get the same level of hate Vince got or will he get a free pass for the first years of firing talent.

I watched highlights of NWA Samhain as I heard it was dreadful and boy were they right

My God this was terrible!!!

Anyone see the drinking stipulation in the Headbangers match, I was gobsmacked that they thought this was a good idea

Happy 2024 to all

2023 was a great year on the Wrestling front in terms of live events. Crazy how I got too see a live event in the 3Arena, SD,MITB and then 'All In' in the same summer. Not looking like I'll attending any events in 2024 but never know
