Truly awful.
Maybe ... maybe don't put your kids' twitter handles in that, love.

I forgot how shit the NWO was overall.

I like how McIntyre spent many minutes last year waxing lyrical about the WWE LEGENDS and then the basis for his Rumble match with McIntyre is him asking McIntyre 'Y U NO RESPECT LEGENDS GUD? >: ( "

Wrestle Kingdom 15 was incredible. Have you seen Jay Whites promo?
Still working my way through the first night so not seen it yet, I know most of the results though.
Forget about Wrestle Kingdom, it's all about the hPhone, brother!
Well I definitely know what that means.
I saw today that, following an investigation, ROH has parted ways with Marty Scurll. Yikes, I wonder if anyone else will touch him.
As bad as that clip is, the worst thing about all WWE currently is the fake crowd noise. It makes everything so much shitter.
The general crowd noise doesn't bother me much either way but whoever's decision it is to pipe in "This is awesome", etc. wants shooting.
It's really off putting for me because it seems so random. The above video and the Miz getting his case back are the only 2 clips i've seen lately and both annoyed me like crazy how the crowd would randomly get louder and quieter with no reason. Do they really think the crowd would have been popping at those random parts of that commercial?
Oh it's certainly not good but I also find it distracting when they're wrestling to silence so I'm not keen either way.
It's usually way too loud as well, especially when someone is cutting a promo.
Jeff Cobb vs Shingo.
Proper meat circus, Cobb is a crazy strong beefman who made it look comically easy to lob Shingo around. The huge release suplex right over his own head was madness.
Didn't realise there was a Quizzlemania this week
30 odd minutes behind.
Oli's non-Caucasian breakdown
Yeah his go at that round was probably the highlight of the show.
So Ziggler and Roode are called the Dirty Dawgs now?
Just watched the best of Quizzlemania thing they put out a while back. Rarely bother with the post show so hadn't heard the pigeon story. Incredible

There's the link, it's amazing.
Snoop is getting some grief for this but fair play, it's no worse than the Miz.
It's not the best but with that splash Snoop is like Eddy Guerrero compared to Tamina who's been a professional wrestler for over a decade.
Tamina very nearly lands on her feet for her splash.
NXT was really good this week. I even liked Ripley / Gonzalez even though normally last (wo)man standing matches do nothing for me. Loved Riley responding to Kai's interference by beating the shit out of her and stuffing her into a locker.
A lot of rumours about Jay White coming to WWE to perform on NXT.
They're making a big thing of it on actual NJPW shows, which makes me suspicious. Aside from that why would you bother with NXT when AEW would almost certainly take someone like him if he was to become available? You get better exposure, similar money (without bullshit restrictions on where else you can work), and the booking isn't a mess. Unless the lure of losing to Baron Corbin on Smackdown then being forgotten about is just too strong to pass up.
Drew has the rona and this:
Makes it sound like more wrestlers have it too.
Man it'd be embarrassing if they'd recently flown in a load of elderly people to be up close with their stars on the show, wouldn't it?
McIntyre started licking every door handle as soon as he saw Goldberg's name come up.
I mean if he manages to have killed either Oldberg or Hogan that's him confirmed as a babyface until he retires.
Goldberg would see that right off.

According to Wrestling Inc, the word backstage at Raw is that The Game will be wrestling on tonight’s show. This would make for the WWE executive’s first match since June of 2019, when he worked a special live event in Tokyo, Japan.
Vince taking a dip in the "legends" pool once again.
If he comes out to DX music.
You wouldn't get Lemmy's estate on the phone for a one-off.
Raw's main event.
Genuinely lol'd.
WALTER just trying to decapitate a lad...
Good camera work.
NJPW are great at putting over what looks like career ending neck bumps with similar angles.
Helped by people taking career ending neck bumps with some regularity.
Naito and Ibushi arent human.
Yeah from what I've seen of NJPW there isn't a lot of cleverness required to hide the neck bumps.
I actually wish they wouldn't because if and when one of them inevitably paralyses themselves it's going to be impossible to sympathise.
Maybe neck bumps is a bad example but the camera work does a great job at selling dangerous looking moves.
The neck death thing is a bit of a meme at this point, there was that one spot with Naito / Ibushi last year (year before?) that people thought was intentional but people in all promotions get dropped on their heads. Strong Style/Fighting Spirit tends to look more impactful because that's the point (Shibata is fine, just taking some time off) and dare i say it the better the wrestlers the better it looks.
NJ camera work is so much better that I struggle to watch WWE matches these days, the constant cuts and camera jumps are almost nauseating.
