WWF/WWE/ECW/WCW

Wow, did Brie just legit KO Liv Morgan?

Two weeks in a row now and the Bellas don't belong in a ring. They are dangerous. That's two weeks in a row where I went on YouTube to watch a botched move (wasn't watching Raw).



She is being checked out for a concussion.

No more baseball for me so I guess I'm back to RAW for the time being.  Unless it keeps sucking as bad as it was about a month ago which is the last time I watched it.  If that's the case I'll dip into the vast Toho DVD/blu-ray library.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I may actually watch some of the WWE DVDs I have in lieu of suffering through RAW.  I'll give RAW a chance but if it follows the typical formula of setting up 6-man tag matches and other nonsense in the first 20 minutes, I'm out.

So who is this woman on RAW commentary?  Is it Renee Young?

So I assume "Constable" Borin' Corbin was promoted to "interim GM" because Stephanie didn't like what Kurt Angle was doing and "suspended" him?

I've seen Undertaker do some halfway shoot interviews in the past, but never a 30 minute sit down as Mark Calaway. Until now.

How "dead" is professional wrestling these days?

No one has posted in this thread in over two weeks. Thanks Vince.

I still watch, but stopped posting here as I seemed to be the only one doing so (nobody else posted or responded to my posts).

Raw has had two consecutive weeks in a row of record low ratings so it is certainly on life support.

Well the reason no one responded to you is probably your creepy avatar.

Good grief, what the hell is that????? It looks enough like the "face" of a spider that the arachnaphobe in me wants to smash my computer screen.

It's Lucas the Spider, created by an animator that worked on Zootopia and Wreck It Ralph voiced by his young nephew. Suprisingly a cute character (though maybe that would be impossible for somebody with arachnophobia-even though I'm not very partial to real spiders myself):





Yeah, I have strange taste in entertainment .

Oh, speaking of wrestling, this is interesting... and hilarious:

WWE has announced that wrestling legend “Dirty” Dick Slater passed away at the age of 67.

Below is WWE’s statement on Slater’s passing and a few videos from his career:


Dick Slater passes away

WWE is saddened to learn that Dick Slater has passed away at age 67.

Slater was a prolific competitor during the 1970s and 1980s in Georgia Championship Wrestling, Mid-South Wrestling and Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, where he teamed with WWE Hall of Famer Bob Orton and had a memorable rivalry with WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts. Slater competed in WWE from 1986 to 1987 before moving to Japan and finishing his in-ring career in WCW.

RIP

Nowadays I only watch NXT, NXT UK & 205 Live.

I haven't watched RAW since that Oct. 1 episode and I haven't watched Smackdown in months.

And my Nintendo Classic arrived so once baseball season is over I'll hook that up and I STILL won't watch WWE. I'll be knee-deep in Zelda; it'll be 1987 all over again!

I'm stuck with RAW tonight until the World Series starts tomorrow.

Is this Roman Reigns leukemia thing legit?  I did a quick scan and couldn't find anything.  If this is legit, it sucks!  And if it isn't, WWE has reached a new all-time low.  But I have to think it's legit and my thoughts and prayers are with Joe.

I agree with everything you said. I don’t think they’d stoop that low especially since they work with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I really am really bummed for him.

I can't believe they're turning Elias face.

It makes sense though since people cheer his "WWE=Walk With Elias" schtick.

He just blasted Borin' Corbin from behind with a guitar so in pro-wrestling writing that almost always means a change to "the other side"

Yeah I've despised Roman's character ever since he split from The Shield but I have no ill will against the guy personally.  To find out he'd already been diagnosed with leukemia 10 years ago only to have it come back now just really sucks regardless of who you are or what your public persona is.

It's legit:

I'm not a fan of Roman the main eventer, but he is a human being with a family. My prayers are with him.

Yeah appears to be legit , definitely sucks that is for sure

How bout the ending of Raw? Ambrose & Rollins clinch the tag titles to only have Ambrose turn on Rollins, i think the timing sucks on that but what do i know?

Im just happy DX is back for a bit and if your not down with that I got just two words for ya.....

It could be argued the timing was perfect. The heel turn had to have a lot of emotional impact and this one certainly had that. With this single act on this particular day, Ambrose became one of the most hated heels in modern wrestling history. Any other time and you risk having a failed heel turn like you had with Becky Lynch. It also make sense. Roman was the only one keeping the peace between Rollins and Ambrose and with him out of the picture there was nothing to hold him back.

Here is an article that probably explains why it was a good time more than I could:

You will never look at Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman the same way again!

Now that baseball season is over I'm watching Smackdown for the first time in about 6 months.  

I really need to hook up my new Nintendo Classic ASAP!

Holy crap, when did Carmella become a "face"?????

Last time I watched Smackdown she was still paired with "the Chinless Wonder". Now she's with R-Truth (who I also haven't seen in forever)?

am i the only one who is highly annoyed that Brock Lesnar has the title yet again?
