Professional Wrestling

[poinoup]

We do a livewatch almost every night on a wrestling blog in the night thread.

WCCW, Mid-South, Crockett WCW, WWF 2000, WWECW, etc.

Then we have the free matches TNA has on their YouTube, MLW puts their show up weekly, and there's a dude doing monthly recaps of mid-late 80s WWF that are tremendous.

Does anyone have interest in the PPV tomorrow? I think I'm skipping it. The go home shows this week had some solid wrestling on it in spite of the writing.

Even Austin and Taker are diminishing returns. I know the football game was pretty crazy, but I see that third hour dropping more deeper into fall. Seth, Baron and Shane are not working, but the issue is no one else will either. They've sacrificed everyone at the altar of Roman... and he's stuck against the worst Wyatt member.

Unless you're Cass, they just don't give up on the big guys.

LOL don't say that. I'm attending it tomorrow. My first ever PPV attendance.

I've been to Raw, but my first live PPV was Mania 30. Even walked from our resort in the French Quarter to the old Nothing studios for pictures.

Sounds like a fun time.

I've never been to a PPV, but I've been to two Raw and three Smackdown tapings, and like 4 or 5 house shows.

3 blocks from Bourbon all week. Huge parties every night. You could see wrestlers up on the balconies.

Funniest part: We went to the Megastore to buy merch and we joked that "Of course it's in HALL H..."

So I seen Alexa way earlier than I thought I would. Loved her classic look tonight. I recorded her and Nikki’s entrance. I’ll post it on YouTube tonight when I get home haha.

I wish she would have won the 24/7 title!

Space, you had a pretty hot crowd most of the night, but the matches felt kinda blah.

But thank ye lords Harper returns.

Energy at these lives shows make matches that seem like complete crap actually fun and watchable. I enjoyed just about every match tonight. Becky and Sasha were MOTN and they went to the concessions area right where I was sitting at (my instagram post has a snippet in the last slot). I bet if I go back and rewatch the PPV I'll see myself. Rowan/Roman was surprisingly good and I seen the Fiend. Not to mention the Goddess.

I was at Sec 116, Row AA, Seat 8. The photos and video I took make it look like I was farther away than I was.

Either way, loved it. As I said earlier, these events are always so much better live in person than watching on TV.

Oh no doubt, in person is the best. I know I've talked about this before, but when I'm there in person, something snaps inside my brain and I start yelling and screaming and it isn't a work anymore.

I've been to several house shows, and like 7 shows that were on TV, but never a PPV. I was at the Raw tapings in 96 that lead into that year's Survivor Series. Bret's "I'll be with the WWF forever" promo, the Austin/Pillman "gun" angle (though obviously not shown to the live audience), and Triple H winning his first title.

I was at two WCW shows, one Nitro and one live Nitro/Thunder taping.

Mmmm mmmmm mmmm that face turn is coming. The knee injury tonight sealed the deal.

[ThinkIcouldburn]

Turned Raw on. Heard someone be called a "Beta cuck" and I'm done again.

Corey Graves during that trainwreck of a segment with Mike Kanellis.

[Dryalex12]

Im so fucking done with graves. He used to be so good and he's just embarrassing and not even funny anymore. Just annoying now

[tony.parente]

This raw was by far the best raw i remember in a long long time. Everything was incredible and hearing the words beta cuck on live TV about made me pass out from laughing so hard. More of everything please.

Even Renee was good last night Top notch, and seeing Kane basically pass the torch to Bray was incredible.

[tony.parente]

Lol who what?

From reddit:

The Street Profits hosted Maria Kanellis’ gender reveal party.
Maria Kanellis is having a boy!
Maria revealed Ricochet is the father of her baby.
Ricochet denied having sex with Maria but followed up with “not that I wouldn’t”.
Titus “drunk uncle” O’Neil said something to Ricochet about slamming a white girl, I think.
Angelo Dawkins thought he was the father.
Ricochet made Mike Kanellis feel the Recoil, not the same one Maria felt.
Maria pulls the Reverse Uno and says Ricochet is not the father.
Rusev (complete with an 80’s pornstache) is the father of Maria Kanellis’ unborn son.
Lana is seething, probably.
Mike Kanellis stated that he is not the father, but he’s okay with that.
Rusev then kicked Mike’s ass, and Corey Graves called Mike Kanellis a “beta cuck”.
Edit: Mayor Kane is the 24/7 Champion
We have peaked

Graves calling him a beta cuck while rusev is angrily stomping the mat is peak WWE.

And guess what? It was all Paul in charge of that day. Gee...who would of thought that Vince not being on charge would make it better

About time Candice got a big win! She should dethrone that slow wooden thing holding the title but I doubt it.

[xfocalinx]

Got shirts made for the Oct 5th show, limited to 5 shirts per size, making it EXTREMELY limited, I'll share the pic soon!

[MrLobster]

*watches a clip on Twitter*

Wait... so... Lacey Evans gets pulled over for speeding in near Edmonton and she argues with the RCMP over her fame and that she "doesn't rate this ticket"...

Pic of the limited edition shirt for my Oct 5th spot:

VERY similar to my Unbreakable shirt I debuted in Oct last year, however, the front design is a slightly different xray from the hospital stay, and the back - instead of all my injuries, now has a break down of how long its been since the accident, as of Oct 5th

Its getting harder to tell if it was kayfabe or not

[Swykk]

Damn, David Starr almost won PWG BOLA! Made it to the finals but Bandido got the win. Bandido rules too but Starr is my favorite indie wrestler.

Kayfabe it is.

This Kenny Omega "apology" is hilarious.

Although I can understand why some of "the boys" are upset at Omega taking shots at other wrestlers and not the WWE, there's this one line about "working themselves into a shoot BROTHERBROTHER" that comes to mind. Watching the Kenny Omega character unravel has been fun.

[poinoup]

LOL at Seth cowering at Bray Wyatt and literally screaming in the corner. Your world champion!

"Can't sleep, Fiend'll eat me..."
