Oh God. Alberto no showed Impact vs Lucha Underground last night and got fired today, after doing a press conference a few hours before that show.
He was definitely meeting Vince McMahon. Kill me on Monday. |

Was thinking of making a thread for AJPW Champions Carnival since I signed up for their service and will be watching it anyway.

If the Mania crowd doesn't chant "just fuck off" I will be unhappy.

Apparently Davey Boy Smith Jr went to a convention this weekend to demand an apology from Jake Roberts for calling his dad a shithead, Jake refused on the grounds that Davey actually was a shithead so Jr demanded they "take it outside" and first fight, a 6"5 250lb guy in peak physical condition vs 2018 Jake The Snake. Jake told him to fuck off so Jr threw hot coffee in his face and ran away.
Worst of all he won't even get canned from New Japan for this and will continue to be the most boring powerboy wrestler on the planet so there's not even a silver lining. What a cunt. |

What it is with wrestlers picking fights with old men like pussies on WrestleMania weekend?

And Alicia Fox got into it with Travis Browne (sp?) and some fans, losing her spot in Mania in the process.
Who is Travis, you ask? Mr. Ronda Roussey. |

This kindergarten picturebook style is kinda cool, but Daniel Bryan looks like someone's dad, and Eddie Guerrero looks more like it's supposed to be Joey Ryan.

Minoru Suzuki is not coming to WWE and I don't know why you'd want him to. He'd have a couple serious feuds before being made to dance around with Titus Worldwide or something.

The thing about Suzuki is that he is an actual heel, and it would open people's hearts and minds as to what a heel can be in 2018 again.

Liger worked because he's one of the most well known Japanese stars of all time, and it was for NXT in front of a smark crowd. Suzuki is no where near well known enough to pull off an appearance like that on main roster. Could maybe see something like that on NXT again. I'd be more than happy to see Suzuki vs Black. |

Pretty sure Suzuki in NXT is actually a possibility. I want to see him dismantle Johnny Gargano so bad.

Apparently Brock is around 62 days away from breaking CM Punk's record for longest WWE/Universal/World title reign in modern WWE era.

If he makes it to the Raw before Money in the Bank, I think that's where it happens. MITB is in Chicago.

I like that Brock is breathing some prestige into the Universal Title. They don't really have any wrestlers that have the credibility to step up to him though.

Lol, in Cornette's latest podcast the subject of Batista came up. Cornette again did his rant on how he was old, wasn't a natural and was injury prone and that they could get five years out of him. He then asked Brian Last "and that's about what they got, wasn't it?". I just crunched the numbers -- they got about 6 years and 8 months. Not bad.
Corny knows his wrestling, folks. |

Gonna need WWE to hurry the fuck up and release an official version of that Ricochet theme.

It's a winning combination of him not being there every week, his booking, and how Brock carries himself. He's in it to make as much money as possible, so he protects himself and doesn't fuck around with everyone that comes along if he deems them -- right, wrong or otherwise -- unworthy. The most glaring example of that has been Dean Ambrose, although that may have been a directive too (Ambrose was pretty white-hot at the time and they might have wanted to cool him).
And that's why I can understand why he's pissed off when he goes out there for a main event, all eyes are on him, and Vince offers him up a kid playing dress-up in tactical gear that no one gives a fuck about. It would be frustrating as hell when you've felt yourself built up to this thing, and you trust the promoter/head booker to serve you up something that is going to generate buzz, and the universal sentiment is "that fucking sucked and both guys sucked, let's muck around with beach balls." |
