The Professional Wrestling Thread

I haven’t regularly watched pro wrestling since the Attitude Era. So it’s cool to see something more wholesome.

Is Vince selling WWE legit? Why?

So far, that just seems to be a rumor, based on speculation about what certain corporate moves mean.

Did anyone else watch Fuego del Sol’s match on AEW Dark this week?

I think I’ve seen more of Fuego on BTE than I’ve ever actually seen him wrestle. Is the match worth watching, does he hit a tornado DDT?

That would be a spoiler.

Anyways:

Marko Stunt and Fuego del Sol vs Ryzen and Baron Black. Probably worth a quick look if you don’t hate Marko Stunt.

I really enjoy AEW Dark more than most of what WWE offers. A lot of the matches are very basic while being worked by at least one green wrestler, but it really feels like you are watching some potential future stars learning their craft and improving.

Last nights Dynamite was an elite tv show. The perfect mix of beautiful and chaos. Tommy End is going to be so good.

I liked the show, but I’ll admit I’m not a huge Tommy End fan based on his work in WWE. And the rollout of his new name was just horribly awkward.

Lol at WWE for failing to convert his NXT 30-day non-compete into the standard 90-day main roster non-compete, making him available now.

Anybody want to go to All Out in September?

RIP Mr. Wonderful :disappointed:

He was a big part of my formative years as a wrestling fan, the match where he turned on Hogan in ‘86 was the first huge angle I remember and his cage match against Hogan was the first Saturday Night’s Main Event I got to watch. I’m still disappointed I didn’t get to see him vs. Hogan at the Big Event in Toronto.

Awww damn. I always like Orndorff

Tonight’s Dynamite has been pretty solid so far. Live crowds make such a huge difference.

AEW has the best long term story telling of any wrestling promotion ever and it’s their 3rd year.

Adam Page is the definition of OVER.

Darby is a mad man that I hope has a long career.

Am I the only person here who is not a fan of CM Punk?

LOL Nick Gage vs Chris Jericho in 2021.

What a world we live in.

Some people dream of making Jim Ross call a match featuring Adam Page, Christian Cage, Ethan Page, Brian Cage, and Nick Gage, with special guest referee Diamond Dallas Page.

Are we really about to have Punk and Daniel Bryan in AEW…? That is so massive.

You’d have to think that Bryan wants a G1 spot, even if just once in his career.

2021 doesn’t seem possible, but maybe next year?
