Random Wrestling Thoughts That Float Through My Mind...

[#AbsoluteUnit]

LOL, Excaliber won Announcer of the Year?

I'm not negative, I'm an optimist but yeah that's whack.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

^Anti-WWE bias

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Can't wait to hear what Jim Cornette has to say about it.

Probably something racist, sexist, or homophobic

[Fallout]

Probably something racist, sexist, or homophobic

Cornette is a lot of things, but he's also an ardent left-winger and despises the Republican party with a passion, particularly Trump.

As for Excalibur, he's fine. An argument could be made he's the best out the current bunch.

[Storm Trooper]

Any best announcer award that does NOT go to Pat McAfee is a false award.

And Kenny Omega was not even close to the best. Roman was 10x better. Hangman was better. Hell Matt Cardona was better.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

^ trooper gets it.

Pat over everyone else.

And Tay Conti is most improved? She puts the ho in homewrecker but no love for Liv Morgan?

And don't start with me on the Hardly Boys over the Uso's.

These are a complete joke.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Who inducts Taker?

My money is on either Kane or HBK.

[Y 2 Jake]

Have one inductee and then you could have a few key figures tell a few stories and then Taker can come out.

But I'd say HBK with a few words from Vince.

[Stone Cold Tea]

HHH

[Storm Trooper]

Just watched Elimination Chamber.

Brock Lesnar is unbelievable. Pat McAfee has called him the Alpha Male of our Species, and has said that if Aliens invaded and we needed one man to fight for the human race that's the guy. I don't even think it's hyperbole anymore...

The way he broke out of the pod (if rumors are true that that was legit and not gimmicked even moreso), then when he climbed the chain wall in about 1.3 seconds, holy crap we forget how good of an athlete he is.

[Storm Trooper]

oh, and the person to induct The Undertaker is either Kane of Vince McMahon.

[Stone Cold Tea]

I give Ronda a lot of stick. She's a definite mark for herself.

I agreed with what she was saying in this article because it seems she wants to be a heel since the fans were rejecting her. I was with her till she followed up with this.

She told Vince the fans were booing her out of the building toward the end of her first run. Vince told her, “Yeah, but they’ve forgiven you for that.” She said she hasn’t forgiven the fans yet, but Vince told her it’s not about her, it’s about the fans.

Get over yourself Ronda

[#AbsoluteUnit]

I'm still glad she's in WWE though.

[Y 2 Jake]

A bit of fantasy booking.

Lesnar loses to Reigns at Mania. The next night he loses his smile. Vanishes for over a year, until the Bloodline are nearing their shelf life. Heyman splits from Reigns and we have weeks of Heyman searching for Lesnar. Sable cameo as a Scottish Widow speaking rhyme, almost like Red Skull in Infinity War. Eventually Heyman finds Lesnar living in a lighthouse or some shit, with 10 of his kids. All of them look exactly like him, call his daughter Gertrude or something. Then more weeks of Heyman living with Lesnar trying to persuade him to come back. Several montages of him teaching Heyman how to chop wood and other manly activities, also Lesnar has now started writing poetry because he doesn't have the beast within him anymore.

Ends with him symbolically chopping off his pony tail, which is now down to his lower back, and nailing it to his door.

He comes back and he can now defeat Reigns clean.

Will flesh out more when not drunk.

[Yer Maw]

I hope Wrestlemania is the last time they ever wrestle each other.

[Y 2 Jake]

I'm fine with the rematch being at Payback.

Holy shit, I remember that back in WZF, someone wanted Wrestlemania 30 to end with Foley crucified and being pelted with garbage for whatever reason.

I'm thinking it'll end up being a promo segment, McAfee hypes up the crowd, Vince/Theory come out disparaging Texas, and HBK/JBL/Stone Cold save the day, and they drink with McAfee.

WWE at MSG tonight. They've made a big deal out of Brock being there to defend his belt so there may be a title change..

Either Tony Khan is going to do an invasion angle with ROH, another show or make it a developmental thing.

It's funny you linked that tweet BSE. After the McMahon podcast with Pat it made sense why the called them WWE superstars.

FTR are a great tag team but seem somewhat confused that they weren't used properly in a promotion that doesn't favour tag team wrestling.

Don't know about anyone else but I'm not excited for this WM? So far the likes of Finn Balor and Ricochet aren't even on the card and they're champions. This might be the first WM in about 15 years I won't be watching live.

[Y 2 Jake]

The Owen Hart Tournament (Men's) should be as stacked as possible. Say 16 competitors load it with Punk, Wardlow, MJF, Sting, Bryan, Wardlow, Cole, two Bucks, Darby, etc.

Don't have any filler, no Archer. The winner can face Adam Page.

WrestleMania is always a let down. But I don't think Balor not being on the card is really a factor.

Start Mania with the KO Show. Owens gives Austin a kicking then they can carry it on later in the show with Austin getting his revenge.

[Y 2 Jake]

Also, no host for this year's show. LA Knight should come out and just do it. He's done with NXT after Stand & Deliver.

[Storm Trooper]

no need for a WrestleMania host at all. Instead of having 2 or 3 segments from some random ex-wrestler or celebrity, they can have a more rasslin matches. Or a talking segment with KO and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

[Y 2 Jake]

The host gig is a bit lame but that's because they don't utilise them in backstage skits.

[Stone Cold Tea]

The less filler the better. The card already seems weak this year.

Road Dogg - "I'm not retired, I'm unemployed. I see things on Tony Khan's TV show that appall me. I could help with that. I have been begging him for a job on every platform I can and I want to know the reason why he won't hire me."

Not the best look lol

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Ric Flair should've retired at WrestleMania 24 after his match with Shawn Michaels. 14 years later, this is just sad.

[Storm Trooper]

Even Ric Flair admits that if I recall. Not at all knowing how the show went I'd say this was the best sendoff for him now. A PPV from a resurrected Jim Crockett Promotions promoted by his son-in-law.

I have no idea how the match went, except I see that DDP gave Matt Cardona a Diamond Cutter, so it must have sucked.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

2022 will be known as the year that Ric Flair, Steve Austin, and Vince McMahon had their last matches.

Smackdown women’s division will soon be in good hands once they call up Toxic Attraction

Ricochet is already more over than ever before on the main roster.

Because for the first time, they let him be what he is, one of the most exciting wrestlers in the world.

BSE is on a roll.

[Stone Cold Tea]

It's seem like Vince was more focused on moments at big events such as Roman vs Rock or Mysterio vs Mysterio and didn't care how we go there.

Hopefully with HHH now at the helm we get more depth and reasonable logic

[BestSportsEntertainer]

CM Punk is all about himself and hard to deal with. Not exactly breaking news.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I'm proud Liv Morgan is still our Smackdown Women's Champion

[Y 2 Jake]

I don't understand her popularity.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

She's the underdog and infinitely more likeable than Charlotte and Ronda

[Storm Trooper]

Also she has improved a lot since she first debuted.

When you improve a lot, all your friends get fired, you're the underdog (and you're hot), you get fan support.

[Y 2 Jake]

Fair enough. Other popular wrestlers I don't get:

Jon Moxley
Eddie Kingston

[Stone Cold Tea]

Is Liv Morgan a face?

Last I heard the fans were chanting you tapped out and Ronda was getting the cheers.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Beating a wrestler as popular as Rousey with a screwy finish isn't endearing.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

100% Agree with you on this sir. Well said.

20 years ago today, Brock Lesnar won his first WWE Championship.

[Storm Trooper]

20 years ago today, Brock Lesnar won his first WWE Championship.
20 years ago today, I saw Brock Lesnar win his first WWE Championship in person.

Also, more importantly, 20 years ago today, I saw Shawn Michael return after 4.5 years, somehow better than he was before he left.

[Storm Trooper]

That leads to something else.

Top 5 moments I've seen live in WWE History:
1. Zack Ryder winning the IC Championship (WM32)
2. Kofi Kingston winning the WWE Championship (WM35)
3. Bayley pins Sasha Banks (NXT Takeover Brooklyn 1)
3A. Triple H's cold open to NXT Takeover Brooklyn 1)
4. Shawn Michaels returns after 4 years (Summerslam 2002)
5. Tomasso Ciampa's entrance (NXT Takeover New Orleans.)

1 was personal, 2 and 3 I had tears in my eyes (3A was proof of concept for NXT as a touring brand), 4 was special, and 5 is the most intense hatred I have ever seen for a performer in my life (and it will never be topped). His entrance music (live) was loud chants of "FUCK YOU CIAMPA" and it was glorious.

So everyone who doesn't watch Impact is an asshole?

[Storm Trooper]

Don't get me wrong I hear great things about iMPACT but he's dead wrong.

iMPACT is not on my television. I think the only way I can watch it is if I pay a subscription on their Youtube channel but that might be wrong. I used to watch it when they were on Twitch every week but once they stopped that and made me pay just to watch it fuck that.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

And the fan he was responding to was literally complimenting him and being nice. I don't understand the hostility.

[Storm Trooper]

Good news: Pat McAfee was hired to be a full time host of ESPN College GameDay.

Bad News: Pat McAfee is stepping away from the Smackdown commentary team for the time being (probably until after the college football season).


Who do we want to replace Pat?

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Pat is irreplaceable.

[Stone Cold Tea]

Pats gone :(

He should be back by mid-January.

Sorry but Chris Jericho isn’t the best sports entertainer

Hoping Danielson wins this months tournament. But I would've gone for somebody like Allin, Sting, Wardlow, Kingston or whoever. Adds variety and they're only keeping it warm for MJF anyway.

Keeping it warm for MJF is the operative word here. I don't think whoever wins the tournament is gonna hold the Championship for long. If the championship reign is gonna be a short one, do you hot shot a first time championship for a pilar of the company like Allin or Wardlow?

Hell I'm wondering if MJF is gonna cash in the poker chip thingy at Grand Slam Rampage, considering Queens is Long Island Adjacent and it'll be a home game for him.

[Yer Maw]

I was thinking he'll cash it in after the world title match, but think they won't do that cos it's basically copying WWE.

[Stone Cold Tea]

Simpsons already did it

[Y 2 Jake]

Bring in Kurt Angle and pair him with Alpha Academy, as rumoured, for 6 months.

Call them The Kurt Business and when they they turn on him he can bring in Bron Breakker to take them down.

PWI 500 was announced.

Roman is #1. There was zero option besides him.

More importantly, The Deathmatch King Matt Cardona is #13.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I mean, yeah the PWI 500 isn't too serious, but Jon Moxley and Seth Rollins easily deserved the Top 10, if not the Top 5.

[Storm Trooper]

Moxley was 12. The list is measured from July 1 through June 30. He missed a bunch of time (for a very valid and good reason) and did not win the Worlds Championship and start his feature run until the very very end of the judgement period. The only other championship he won was when he fucked over Matt Cardona for the GCW Title.

Rollins is 17.

Top 10:

Reigns
Okada
Punk
Hangman
Bobby Lashley
Cody
Danielson
El Hijo Del Vikingo
Big E
Jonathan Gresham

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Did anyone ever find out how many miles Batista walked in his pit of danger?

[Yer Maw]

Four.

Roman Reigns vs Logan will draw big, but I would pay good money to see Roman absolutely destroy Logan's brothe

[Storm Trooper]

Did anyone ever find out how many miles Batista walked in his pit of danger?
Don't know for sure, but we do know he swallowed down a thousand years of anger, and he also has the weight of the world falling on his shoulders.

Unfortunately we cannot confirm any of this, as he is going to a place where no one follows him, so he walks alone.
