Batista in a movie named after the neighborhood I live in. A movie about Brooklyn... being invaded by Texas.
A surprisingly potent performance from professional wrestler (and “Guardians of the Galaxy” co-star) Dave Bautista should add to the appeal for a young male audience.
It's amazing that Batista has quickly become a "best thing in the movie he's in" guy.
 
Kayfabe is deader than dead anyway.

I mean shit Braun was on Talk is Jericho's version of Talk n Shop getting hammered with Jericho, Gallows and Anderson and being completely ooc. It was great.

Let them have their shoot name social media life.

I don't. But you keep talking like that and you'll be on ignore.

Dear Mark, that bit of fiction would work if it wasn't for the fact a couple of people had already quoted me on the very same page, maybe you just need to read before posting 😌

Is there anything of note to watch excluding the big 4 in 2008-2014?

I'm watching the Rock Return's now and man, that email thing seems stupid, and heel Michael Cole seems STUPID.

Talk N Shop shows that Gallows is wasting his time trying to be a serious character. He should introduce himself to the ring as Fink.

Now the crowd can get behind him on Impact as he plays a gay panic character while the announcers make fun of trans people.

Wow. That's a real thing?
I'd agree with you except that it seems like bloodlust is the only thing spurring democrats to action now. I'm cool with some broken nazi faces though.
Lol except they are suggesting genocide not just broken faces.
 
HHH admitted on today's conference call that he isn't happy with neither how this TakeOver was build nor the current state of NXT.

So yeah, at least he is aware
NXT hasn't been the same since Dusty passed away, then Ryan Ward left last year and for the most part the NXT has been in a creative lul ever since.
Once they stopped using Blue pants everything went to hell.
I miss Leva/Blue Pants showing up every so often.
Athena is on the roster but she is mostly just crushing jobbers. One would hope they are going to build up to Asuka vs Ember Moon at TakeOver Orlando.
One would hope... I've decided that Ember Moon is basically like a Saiyan or well, Goku, getting hyped about having someone to fight and tests them a bit before really getting started.

Remember when a TNA video staffer made this and got fired: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M__yR7CfPbE?

Wow, I vaguely remember this...


Christy Hemme was my vote for the 2004 Diva Search. Remember when she shot on and murdered Carmella (the Roman Reigns of the Divas Search) on live TV? Or when she fed her ass a pie? Or when the Diva Search women embarrassed the actual women's roster at Summerslam by destroying them at dodge ball?

I would give it all up if the Diva Search shit never happened.

The announcers on Impact say Rex is "transitioning" to this new character. It's pretty gross.


I've never regarded OT as anything but a playground for extreme views on either side. Better to stay in the squared circle where things make sense.
 
New bosses same old garbage it seems. Or even worse garbage to be frank.


Giant Gonzales sucked but his debut destroying The Undertaker and taking him out of RR 93 is pretty great
 
Yep he was great at it.

The problem was, your lead announcer can't be a heel and remain effective. I actually think Cole's heel character helped solidify the opinion of 'softer' smark fans seeing the company, not the heel characters as the 'Heel' in every storyline.

I mean, the only thing and this is kind of morbid, that brought Cole back to any kind of credibility is the job he did after Lawler had his heart attack.

Wow they added a ton of VR settings to Bound on PS4 and it's exceptional now (if you don't get motion sick easily like me.)

Any PROGRESS fans check out Freedom Road? Interesting presentation, clearly a developmental show that wants to be on BBC3 (RIP!) but an interesting idea none the less.

Haven't seen it yet but I saw tweets comparing it to Hollyoaks and Dream Team. Sounds weird.
 
Meltz saying this will be the biggest non-Mania gate in WWE history.

Old men are draws, get over it marks.

Well, I guess more like people who were big draws when wrestling was hot and the booking was good and have enough clout to protect their booking and their value when they return remain big draws.

Yeah, it's... different.

I think I like it. I imagine it's better for getting people into the new guys coming through the school than the old ENDVR format.

And I saw them in in the preview, I'm always up for more Power Couple antics
when they're not doing the babyface kiss spot seriously fuck that spot every time except the ending of the last one with mandrews and banks was fun but the setup still sucked I think i've made my point

Definitely a format better suited to exploring character work than the straight laced ENDVR shows. It's an experiment, it does feel like it was once a pilot for one of them yoof shows for C4/ITV/BBC though. Or its angling to be picked up. I think it's a positive with PROGRESS's definite focus on characters when it comes to people coming from the ProJo.

And yeah jesus that spot needs to go away now. Especially with Eddie Dennis, he makes it look way too erm, threatening. I don't wanna cheer that at all.

Well, I guess more like people who were big draws when wrestling was hot and the booking was good and have enough clout to protect their booking and their value when they return remain big draws.

No doubt. I'm not really sure if WWE is interested in making another Goldberg or Taker though.
