Yeah the Dusty thing was weird. It also happened in 98. The 98 editions made no sense because the storyline should have been over

Seems there's some conflicting reports about WWE being interested in signing Tessa Blanchard.
Observer reported WWE recently sent contract feelers to her while Squared Circle Sirens' Casey Michael doesn't believe the report based on the past times Meltzer claimed WWE was interested in her but never bothered to sign her in the end each time. Blanchard is one of Meltzer's known sources in the indies and supposedly does have a habit of feeding him stuff to prop up her own value whenever she's been a free agent. |

RE: nWo Bret discussion.
If Bret had been the third man Hogan would have still come in and lead the group eventually. It's Hulk Hogan FFS, he wouldn't sit and watch a huge money maker without wanting a piece. If they did it that way round I wonder what would have happened to WWE? No evil McMahon anyway. |

If Bret had joined in 1997 after the Sting win, he could have taken the group from Hogan, who would have booked himself as the conquering babyface.

Kronik were over though. I saw a Kronik sign in an old WWE match the other day. I had to pause it to make sure it wasn't a drug reference.
I feel like they made it to WWE after the acquisition and Vince realised who they actually were so he just released them with Buff Bagwell and whoever else. |

If you're a wrestler over six five called Bryan/Brian you are guaranteed to suck ass.
Brian Lee Bryan Clark Bryan Adams If you are under that height you are probably pretty good. |

I watched all the 1997 WCW Pro comps on youtube these past two weeks lol. Here's one of them below
My biggest takeaway from these shows is: Public Enemy were fucking awful. |

I just told Meltzer that the ratings dropped on AEW because all those future guys who talks non stop about aren’t going to draw.

Watching Mark Henry's sex therapy vignettes.
He says his first sexual encounter was when he was 8 with his sister. Attitude! |

lol I like how this is obviously an attempt to steal some Jerry Springer material for some lolz, but it's actually a deeply troubling example of incest and possibly sexual abuse.

In an interview for the DVD Mark Henry also un-ironically says gay people thanked him for his displays of tolerance during the "Mark vomits after kissing a tranny" angle.
Self awareness, have you met Mark Henry? |

The therapists reaction is to scream "you're not still having sex with your sister are you Mark?!!" over and over again. I had to skip through it, one of his next sessions sees a fat therapist try to grope him. Outstanding! |

I think because that's the exact sort of visual set up a politician will use when confessing to something everybody already knew by then, and it's always mucky.

That therapist should be ashamed. No where near the level of professionalism of one Dr Shelby.

WWE's major announcement regarding NXT UK mainly ended up just being them simply talking to talent to see how they were doing and hinting tapings would be resuming within the near future.

Necro Butcher is a CZW legend I believe. A master of the death match. He was also featured in Darren Aranofsky's "The Wrestler."

Necro Butcher was the fucking man. Had awesome matches with Low Ki and Samoa Joe in IWA MS. Had runs in ROH and CZW. Like Dale said, mostly known for Death Matches but was an excellent brawler. Super smart, well spoken guy
I saw pics from his retirement match in January. He didn't look well. Has a wife and young kids. I think like 5-6 kids. Very sad. |

And Killer Tim Brooks just passed away. I remember Brooks going into Hospice a little while ago. A legend in Texas. 72 years old.

After ECW shut down, Necro Butcher and Nick Mondo were the first notable hardcore/deathmatch wrestlers I knew of from the indies.
Not sure if it was TPWW or some other forum for where I first learned about them at the time. |

Yeah I'm pretty sure I learned about Necro on these forums way back in the day.
