The guy was trying to call professional wrestling like an actual sport instead of pro wrestling so instead of drawing out the drama (“Who’s under the hood? It’s Drew McIntyre!”), he was in full PbP mode (“It’s Drew McIntyre wearing a hoodie!”).

I mean, that style can work, but he needs to study some Gordon Solie, or something.

Chelsea Green really turned in the Women’s Division version of the Miz since debuting her Karen gimmick (this is a compliment)

So, I’m working a show at the El Dorado in Reno on Saturday.

Hammerstone was an actual good choice so I think we’re all winners here.

Not enough is being made of how Shawn Michaels being the horniest man in America has led to NXT consistently having the best women’s division in wrestling.

It's like if Johnny Ace was attracted to good wrestlers...

Giulia still doing her “hey look at me I’m Italian“ catchphrase thing in NXT despite it not having come up a single time in her appearances thus far lol

Spoiler: Victory Road

So, when was the last time a match with a "Team must win or they break up" stipulation resulted in said team losing?

I just had a street fight at the Biggest Little Latin festival! We brawled through the actual festival before me and my boy Joker took the win!

So, when does Vincent of The Righteous head out to California to feud with you over gimmick infringement?

I try to be “Inspired by” as opposed to a carbon copy. I had to ditch my original idea for a theme because The Righteous already use it to open their theme. I honestly had no idea they did until I saw it like a month back.

it’s good to see four of these five people again. Vickie can rot in hell as far as I care (I also didn’t realize she has been with AEW for like an entire year and a half)

this tweet also makes it sound like Booker hasn’t been on NXT every damn week for the last couple of years.

real wrestling is JBL and Adolph Ziggler teaming up in the year 2024.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

WWE booking TNA better than TNA does is a thing that is happening.

lol just how in the red is he?

So I will be at Smackdown this Friday with a buddy.. Our seats will be good ones.. My friend has Cerebral Palsy so we didn't want to get floor seats but we still wanted to be on camera for all the matches. Floor seats people stand up too much so we wanted to just be above them so when they stand. My friend cannot stand up for lengthy periods. We should be right in the middle of your TV screens to about 75% up on your screen depending if they zoom in much or not. I will be wearing a blue LA Knight shirt with the big LA on there that can be seen. My brother's brother-in-law (my nephew's uncle on the other side) is going to be there with my 6 year old nephew. He knows The Miz because he was on the MTV challenge with him. I think they have front row floor seats in front of us so hopefully we will get to meet a few WWE wrestlers.\\\

Anyone else going on Friday? I literally work a block away from the G1C so I will get a ride to work so I don't have to worry about parking and then just walk over at about 345p-400p. Then I am going to take the Sunrise light rail to bradshaw and get picked up there so my ride doesn't have to worry about driving into town.

NXT: the wrestling show where a man once notoriously addicted to drugs desperately tries to recreate the feeling of freebasing cocaine every single week via sheer booking power

Maybe Trips will finally make the tag titles a big deal again? (He won’t and they’re probably just gonna get stuck with the LWO in their eternal feud with the Judgement Day)

Can’t believe WWE wasted like twenty years of Michael Cole’s prime having Vince scream into his ear.

Might have been my favorite Roman segment in years. That was peak wrestling drama right there.
