He hasn't taken a bump on those Memphis shows in like 15 years. Guys like Lawler and Dundee can do this shit forever because that's the "Memphis style" (unless Destor tells me otherwise). Their matches were more like "fights" than trading moves.

I've always wanted to see a show in the Skydome and stay in the hotel attached to it for said show

The Skydome is a bit of a boring dump.

Going balls deep in bed while you watch Warrior take down Hogan live would have been a story to tell your grandkids though.

I've heard the stadium in Orlando is a dump too (the upper deck doesn't even have stadium seats, it's bleachers). If WWE ever wants to do a stadium show in Canada again I bet they still use Skydome/Rogers Center.
Other than the stadium the Winter Olympics used in Vancouver, are there any other stadiums in Canada you think they might use? (Question is to any Canadian posters not just King Gertner) |

According to both ProFight DB and Cage Match that was actually Steen's last indy match before signing with the E. |

Steen got him up for the piledriver a couple of times but Jerry reversed out of it (back body drop, etc). Lawler pulled out all his signature stuff in that one though, looked like he was having a blast out there which is why he still does this stuff. Lawler hit the piledriver for the win.

A few years later Lawler turned up at another show I was at and he wrestled Robbie E. It was mostly an extended promo between the two with Robbie being a big pussy about getting in the ring. Lawler took no bumps or anything, didn't need to. Was over without it.
I've seen a couple other recent Lawler matches on YouTube that ended the same way the Robbie one did. Heel puts his foot on the ropes, ref sees it and breaks up the dirty pin. Heel yells at and shoves ref. Lawler rolls heel up with his own dirty pin. Ref sees it but shrugs and counts the 3 anyway to fuck over the heel. |

If Dark Elevation is any indication, they might be signing Robo the Punjabi Lion whose been on the indy scene for about five years now, in the US probably most known for his work in Beyond Wrestling.
He wrestled as Jora Johl and Matt Hardy tried to recruit him afterwards. Guy has a good look and seems to move around quite well from what I've seen of him. |

Wardlow vs Hager MMA Cagematch did 731,000 viewers for its quarter on last Friday’s show and the average viewership ended up being in the mid 500s |

So, a Major Attraction wants to work with the Biggest Female Name in AEW.
With all the talk of Lawler and the GoC-Janella hub-ub, We missed this huge news. |

Joey Janela is the untalented and annoying guy from high school who gets his parents to throw the parties and thinks he has friends because he gives them a place to drink.
What is the purpose behind anything he does? What does AEW get out of this guy, under the mask of being a nobody, because NOBODY gives a fuck about him, doing unfunny, useless bullshit like this? The irony is, if you’re going to brag about being able to work a couple of local newscasters in poor taste, WHY DON’T YOU TRY WITH YOUR FUCKING WRESTLING?!? These are the same fucking carnies who claim that kayfabe is dead as justification as to why they can throw the book of common sense out. |

hey, raising awareness is raising awareness. when you work the biggest known offender (in terms of trumpsucking nincompoopery) in recent memory, i'm hoping even corny concedes that his efforts were worthwhile to some degree, not that it has to change your opinion of anything related to his actual wrestling career

Tony Khan is better on the mic, and probably in the ring, than Joey Janela.

Janela has been perfectly handled as the resident punching bag in AEW. Nobody’s been booked more appropriately.

Joey Janela is a piece of shit just waiting to be outed. Then everyone will act surprised like it wasn’t obvious a mile away.

If you owned a wrestling company and were forced to sign either Janela or Tony Khan though, who would you choose?
I would choose Tony Khan. I’d make him an undercard heel manager and have him cut some coked-out promos. Janela is useless. |

New segment idea: How Far Can You Throw Marko?
Every week, a different rassler throws Marko Stunt to see who can launch him the farthest. I don't know what the winner would get, but I'm sure they could think of something. |
