PaperMachete Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Endeavor/WWE deal to close next tuesday. Will be interesting to see the fallout. I assume there will be layoffs in the office departments, but I don't rule out roster cuts as well. While I'd never advocate for people losing their livelihood (unless they do something stupid), WWE has quite a lot of 'deadweight' on their roster, aka people that are not being used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Finally had time to watch Gunther vs Gable and man, what a good match. I could watch those two all day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Black Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 It wouldn't be the last Monday Night RAW with Vince McMahon in charge of the WWE without someone wildly inflating the attendance numbers for a Wrestlemania event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Watching Smackdown finally and man, Dom gets so much heat. It's so fun. I often wonder who gets more genuine heat, Don Callis or Dom Mysterio. It's awesome that talents are able to get genuine heel heat instead of being cool bad ass heels. They're such slimeballs and so entertaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Black Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 With Dom, it's genuine heat, but I'm not sure it's the good kind of heat. It's very reminiscent of X-Pac from about 1999-2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much left for her to do in WWE at this point, she's done it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaperMachete Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Don't really know where this is best posted but going with this thread. The PWI500 top 10 for 2023 just dropped: 1 - Seth Rollins 2 - Roman Reigns 3 - Jon Moxley 4 - GUNTHER 5 - Hijo Del Vikingo 6 - MJF 7 - Kazuchika Okada 8 - Orange Cassidy 9 - Josh Alexander 10 - Cody Rhodes The Shield runs wrestling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blonde Bomber Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) I think GUNTHER should be one. He's wrestled so many bangers on TV and has yet to be pinned. Shocking how WWE has been able to pull off two dominant heel reigns at one time with Reigns & GUNTHER.

Matt_Black Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 See, technically, in the ring, he's quite good. Character wise, I have absolutely no reason to care about him. Ooh, he's large and foreign! What is this, 1982? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Black Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 "Rhea Ripley, not medically cleared tonight after being attacked by Nia Jax." Can't tell if that's a work or a shoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'm watching Smackdown and I knew ahead of time that Rock and Pat appeared and I still got goosebumps. Such a fun segment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Black Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Too bad the rest of the show didn't live up to that. It wasn't bad, but nothing even came close to matching that segment, though LA Knight still got a very loud reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO @ Mox being 3rd over GUNTHER and MJF, I really don't get it. Also, I would rather gouge my eyes out than see another Cassidy match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Black Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 GUNTHER reminds me of sauerkraut, in that they're both from German-speaking areas, everyone always seems to love it, and meanwhile I'd rather not have any, thank you.

Jaysin Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Josh Alexander making the top ten is amazing to me. He's been so good for so long and it's nice for him to finally get recognition. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame more people aren't watching Impact right now because they're putting on consistently entertaining shows. Not saying every episode is must see, but they put on fun shoes frequently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is more Vince McMahon carny bullshit than announcing a billion dollar television deal and then releasing a shit ton of people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
