The General Wrestling Thread

Almost forgot wrestling announcers actually could call moves, but that nxt show last week made me remember.

Cole & Co., I know they're told not to call the action like that, but it pales in comparison.

I mark out hard for EL TORITO.

He should have been Sin Cara.

Lance Storm, who always comes off as a 100% level headed dude, wrote this to close the latest blog on his website:

Oh just one last after thought, because it is a constant topic of debate. If there is a way for someone to use my passing in an angle to further someone's career, have at it. I won't mind, I'll be dead, and you won't have to worry about offending my family, because none of them are wrestling fans, they won't be watching.

lol

I wanna see a 3 hour video of Lance Storm going from his usual hardline, logical self to becoming ridiculously sloppy drunk. I'm willing to pay upwards of $40, and if he keeps the exact same diction and temperment throughout he should win an Oscar. For serious.

2003 Royal Rumble, Bill DeMott comes out and JR drops a classic line of foreshadowing......

"Here comes a very disturbed and dangerous human being"

Buck Zumhoff found guilty of 12 counts of sexual assault. He was fucking/molesting his daughter for 20+ years.

When the verdict was read, he attempted to RUN FROM THE COURTROOM before being tackled by police officers.

AJ Styles is starting with New Japan in April.

AJ Styles is starting with New Japan in April.

That should be interesting. What a career he's wasted.

2/28 Columbia, SC (TNA - 700): Manik won three-way over Chris Sabin and Zema Ion, Ethan Carter III b Dewey Barnes & Norv Fernum, ODB b Rockstar Spud, Samuel Shaw b Kenny King, No DQ: Gunner b James Storm, 2/3 falls cage match: Ken Anderson b Bully Ray

3/1 Johnson City, TN (TNA - 700): Kenny King & Manik b Chris Sabin & Zema Ion, Ethan Carter III b Norv Fernum & Dewey Barnes, ODB b Rockstar Spud, Samuel Shaw b Chase Owens, Street fight: Gunner b James Storm, Cage match 2/3 falls: Ken Anderson b Bully Ray

3/2 Knoxville (TNA - 1,400): Kenny King & Manik b Chris Sabin & Zema Ion, Ethan Carter III b Dewey Barnes & Norv Fernum, ODB b Rockstar Spud, Samuel Shaw b Shawn Schultz, Street fight: Gunner b James Storm, 2/3 falls cage match: Ken Anderson b Bully Ray


This tells me three things.

One, all of the big stars were in Japan (they were forced to book Fernum & Barnes ffs), and they drew better than the last two house show swings anyway. So nobody has star power in TNA. But we kind of knew that already.

Two, Knoxville did very well by TNA standards, so they'll never go back.

Three, TJ Perkins & Kenny King are actually alive.

ACH will be attending the WWE tryout camp with Roderick Strong & Kevin Steen in a few weeks.

Welp, now we know what he was being coy about when we interviewed him on the podcast.

I assume this is legit.

Did one of those monitors Brock throw go into the crowd?

[FedEx227]

Yeah it launched into the first few rows next to the entry way. Nobody was hurt but security acted quickly and ran to the scene right away.
