The only thing I could see making sense (lol) out of the t-shirt deal if it's just TNA making and selling their own merch in addition to the wrestlers still having their own shit (especially if they're changing people's names)
It's still stupid as fuck but it's not much different than companies licensing out rights to print stuff

what a weird day in wrestling

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't even understand why Paige is being protected via Rock's movie. Why does Rock want to make a movie about Paige when I could think of any number of people on the roster who'd be a better story for a movie.

It's got a slick backdrop. The camera work is of the same level etc...

yooooooooooooooo
Honestly, I think Rock's let his "highest grossing actor" title go to his head. Now he thinks anything he touches turns to gold when in reality he made most of his money being a supporting character in Fast & Furious. This is probably part of the reason he was so defensive about Baywatch

I mean, the thing is that Paige's story isn't that interesting and I've never seen anything that made me think Paige is particularly down to earth and a good subject for a movie.
I mean, I guess it could have been worse and he could have made a movie called "My Cousin Roman."

Saw Rampage vs Ishii match, really nice hoss battle.
Rampage and Walter are the two wrestler from the UK / Europe scene I want to see in NJPW.
Also, is the WCPW crowd usually this boring?
I'd watch a documentary of the Anoai family over the Knight family

I just don't think wrestling is going to make a good movie. I don't want to see any movie about wrestling. I could just watch wrestling, which is already a show about a wrestling show.

But I don't want to see that, either.

GLOW, while not a movie, is a fantastic show about a wrestling show.
I guess Rey isn't coming

I could see Walter making it after BOLA.
And yeah, they are. They're more casual smarky fans, so they'll pop for your Angles, Del Rio's, etc rather than these guys. See them no selling the only UK appearances of Minoru Suzuki
twice
...because it's doing an alternate universe story where the south actually broke free?
stories where the bad guys in wars win isn't really new

PWInsider says a conviction would result in WWE immediately releasing Paige

This is one of the most basic stories in the alternative history/counter-factual genre: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War_alternate_histories
Were you saying "fuck off" when the mockumentary "C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America" was released? How about Harry Turtledove's novel, "Guns of the South"? If not, then what's so different about this work?
What, you think a genre drama on a paid cable channel is actually going to make the cultural and economic divisions in the US worse? You're giving this show and HBO too much credit.

After the last Walter vs Riddle match, I want to see Walter in chop battles in NJPW.
Yikes, they kinda ruined the mood for the match, just looking boring, one guy trying to get a chant to no avail, compared to the Progress crowd in the Walter vs Riddle match, that made the encounter even better.

That's their policy they announced in 2014 when the Ray Rice story was blowing up headlines; same thing that happened with Adam Rose.

AHAHAHAHAGFW launching their own version of Talking Smack almost exactly a week after weekly Talking Smack is cancelled. Hosted by Josh Mathews and Tyrus
Nice
Hopefully it's better than that worthless post-show they tried like 10 years ago. All backstage stuff, don't remember what it was called

Two white men doing entertainment involving the subject of slavery traditionally doesn't go well
There's a billion ways this can go wrong, two ways this can go right, and considering the creators' history, this is absolutely hitting at least a hundred wrong ways before cancellation

What the f is this trash?
Never heard of C.S.A and I don't read books. I just think it is a bad idea with the current climate to how bruvas and sistas are treated in the US.

GoT is bad enough in some scenes. Imagine them doing a series on slaves and huge companies trading slaves etc. Nah, I don't want to see that shit.

Hmm....that might be it
I looked at the wikipedia page and couldn't find any other listings. The one I remember aired after impact, not before. But it was complete nonsense, just people walking around backstage continuing whatever dumb Kurt Angle story was going on

I highly doubt a scripted drama on a paid cable channel is going to get more cops to shoot black people or schools to suspend black boys at even more disproportionate rates. Unless I missed something, Mad Men didn't drive more people to join the advertising industry, and Walking Dead didn't get people to kill zombies.
It'll focus on heroic white people and marginalize POC characters. And it won't have the political capital you're ascribing to it.
Anyway, wrestling:

A movie about the murder of Bruiser Brody would be fantastic.
