Black Adam bombing, Young Rock being cancelled, the XFL being forced to do a merger to survive after one season. The Rock’s ego has been bruised and battered the past five years, I don’t know if he could handle the wrestling fans rejecting him.
The amount of stars Mick Foley made in his run is so understated.
Saved The Undertaker in 96
Made HHH in 97
Austin’s heel challenger in 98
Made HHH again in 99/00
Made Orton in 2003
People just hating on Chris Benoit are idiots, yes what he did was wrong but the guy had odious amounts of brain damage and wasnt himself anymore; the wrestling world at that time were just as guilty as Chris.
AEW should have Arn Anderson come out to start Dynamite, grab a microphone and say “I shot them both” and then walk out of the ring, never to be seen again.
Sting’s kids seem to have ever physical attribute needed to be pro wrestlers but instead decided to just do their own things and that might make them the most well adjusted children of professional wrestlers ever.
Tony Khan is a billionaires son that is using his money to do things like save ROH from extinction and give jobs in wrestling to hundreds of people. He could easily just be on a yacht somewhere railing hookers but instead he is making sure we had a Final Battle.
"Go see a fucking movie"
- The wrestler whose current gimmick relies on you being a movie fan otherwise you'd be lost on why she's walking around in black and white looking like Marilyn Monroe from Temu
Reminds me of the 21 Jump Street remake when Channing Tatum acts like he did in High School in the 90s and everyone there is like WTF is wrong with you.
Sting is able to get the retirement he deserves because AEW exists.
Eddie Kingston would be retired working on the docks if AEW didn’t exist.
Tony Schiavone would go into the history books as the annoying voice of dying WCW if AEW didn’t exist.
People are missing Punk’s point about guaranteed contracts. He was saying if people got paid off of the house, they would care more about drawing a house. The Bucks would have worked with Punk because it would have made them $$$. Without that, there was no incentive to do busines
Waiting for a game sucked but there was something special about getting a game at midnight, going back to someone’s house and staying up all night playing the new game.
People don’t miss the wait, they miss the comradely. Everyone is so alone now.
He spent his whole life feeling like he could never measure up to his brothers only to end up being wiped out of existence in the telling of his families story.
Sin Cara: I want my release
Vince McMahon: we can’t do that.
Sin Cara: Ok then square up.
Vince: We will release you.
Sin Cara: I’m taking Luke Harper with me.
Vince: Whatever you wish sir.
I wish David Benoit all the best in life and can’t imagine all the trauma he has had to endure but for the love of all that is can we stop fantasy booking him as a professional wrestler?
CM Punk asked The Miz if he was going to get a tattoo of the
#WrestleMania
attendance number...another shot by WWE at Will Ospreay.
THEY ARE SO MAD HE DIDN'T SIGN 😂😂😂
I honestly think when it is all said and done, Cody not winning at Wrestlemania 39 will be looked at the same way Sting/Hogan from Starrcade 1997 is.
Sure NWO still made money in 1998 but the rot was taking root.
There is a mindset online that AEW has two choices, get bigger than the WWE or die.
In this new media world, being able to produce five hours of highly rated content is extremely valuable. There is no shame in being Pepsi, in being Burger King.
People can’t read I swear. Tony Khan didn’t say Jinder sucks or is a terrible wrestler. He is saying that a guy that hasn’t won a singles match in over a year shouldn’t be challenging for the World Title.
I was sitting next to the guy who yelled “SELL THE ARM” and I felt my life flash before my eyes when Danielson was yelling in the general area where that guy was.
A Sting fan vents his frustrations about AEW’s small crowds
“This pains me to watch ok. Sting who is an icon in wrestling deserved a hell of a lot better.”
Jericho using the media to position himself the hero in a fight he wasn’t even involved in is some next level political maneuvering. As much as he dislikes HHH, he learned a lot from him.
Bless AEW for existing and giving a generation of indie talent who never made it big a second chance. Prince Nana is about to manage against Sting in front of 80,000 people.
I hope they call Kevin Dunn into the office and tell him they enjoy his editing skills but they have one more cut to make and then throw him in the streets.
Ring Of Honor to me is like that comic shop or pizza place you used to go to all the time growing up but you stopped years ago and then when you hear they are closing a flood of memories come back and you wonder why you hadn’t been there in years.
WWE’s biggest problem is the roster isn’t turned over like it should be. Look at any point in WWE history, go forward four years and things have changed. Now go back to 2015. It’s the exact same show.
Boss man and DiBiase had a five year run. Dolph has had 14 years.
Iron Claw isn’t a wrestling movie. It’s a movie about family, grief, survival, fathers & sons and living up to family expectations. Wrestling is just the background. Kevin surviving and breaking the cycle with his boys is the ending.
A Benoit movie has no ending.
you wanna know why the Von Erichs got an A24 film and Benoit won’t? because the Von Erichs are sympathetic characters whose story is as complex as it is tragic. they can teach us something.
Benoit is a guy who killed his wife and kid. he is in hell. end of the story
I am debating going to Detroit for Summerslam but I am going to need something in writing that Kid Rock won’t be performing at any point of the evening.
I still have the emotional scars from Wrestlemania 25.
Not going to lie, I am shocked the Iron Sheik twitter didn’t tweet about his death in the first person. “RIP IRON SHEIK I AM GOING TO HEAVEN UNLIKE THAT JABRONI HULK HOGAN”
I like when people pretend that Tony Khan shouldn’t respond to a guy like Disco Inferno. If I was as rich as Tony Khan, I would buy the strip club Disco works at just to fire him.
Old, broken down washed up wrestlers and people with agendas- “What Athena did in that squash match was so wrong, I can’t believe this disgusting act”
Athena’s opponent:
Drake Younger was basically being groomed to be the top ref in WWE for decades to come and he blew it so hard he is fighting dudes in their underwear in death matches in New Jersey.
My daughter came out wearing this shirt and I was like oh someone is in their Miss Elizabeth Wrestlemania 7 era and she was like “why are you like this” then I asked myself “why am I like this”
Way too many tweets talking about “if I was running AEW I would do this about the locker room” from people that get panic attacks when calling to make a doctors appointment.
AEW is obviously a “secondary company” but people seem to want Tony Khan to agree to that instead of saying “Fuck you, we are the best” and it’s weird.
Even if it’s a lie, you fight on that lie.
I have been thinking about this Russo post for the past 24 hours and I can’t shake how sad it is. These people are stuck on the outside looking in of a business that has passed them by and they are forced to hate watch everything to try to eek out a living.
No one knowing who Brody King is is such a weird argument. A big tattooed guy debuting with a known entity and kicked everyone’s ass. What else do you need to know?
Every wrestler ever was unknown before they were known. It is an intellectually deficient argument.
Can’t believe AEW is bringing in “misused” former WWE talent. You never saw WWF do that when they built the company around Steve Austin, Mankind, HHH, Vader & The Undertaker.
16 year old me was like yeah of course the show should go on.
Grown adult me realizes that it is absolutely insane that no one pulled the plug on the show. From the police to the venue to the WWF itself.
I can't imagine what Jeff Jarrett and Debra were going through, having to deliver a live promo moments after seeing an injured Owen being taken passed them,
#OnThisDayInWWE
25 years ago
And then have to go to the same ring where Owen fell

Not commenting on the whole CM Punk being friendly with Cornette thing because who cares but it is hilarious how many people don’t listen to Cornette at all and assume he is a hardcore Republican.
Scott Hall should have been dead a dozen times over. Instead, he got to go through a redemption of sorts and took twenty years from the reaper. Take solace in that.
AEW fans: "of course a World WEINSTEIN Entertainment employee would receive praise from a racist, out of touch know nothing like Jim Cornette!"
Also AEW fans: *crickets*
CM Punk not respecting authority is what made CM Punk CM Punk. Someone that looks like him shouldn’t have made it. Someone who lacks athleticism like him shouldn’t have made it.
He is fueled by hate and spite and that makes him everything he is.
The influence of the ROH from twenty years ago is still felt to this day. That is how you know it was good.
Art doesn’t have objective metrics. Art is just good or it is not.
@BarryBerkman6
You're dodging my question. What objective metric can you show me that 2000s ROH was good? How many PPV buys, attendance, DVD sales, merch anything?
My sources are telling me that the B.W.O will be inducted this year into the WWE Hall Of Fame due to confusion after Undertaker kept yelling about how blue lives matter.
