    Chris Jericho thread

    When Jericho tried to pin a wrestler because he'd gotten hurt and the referee refused to do a three count, I saw what I believed to be one of Jericho's finest moments. He got pissed at the ref because he didn't end a match with an opponent who was in no shape to go on wrestling and that was a...

    How many defunct Professional Wrestling Promotions are now under WWE?

    Too many. Think of all the extra expenses of the talent involved. No company can take everyone. There's always a limit, due to many factors and sometimes the wrong people are let go.

    2013 thread

    The one thing I hated about 13 is when WWE candy coated Daniel Bryan and the Bella Twins after Bryan proposed to Brie. That was a low turning point of the year, as it scrubbed Brie's queen bee heel persona and cast her and Nikki in the roles of the happy go lucky girls, turning them into...

    WWE's lack of faces is really bad

    I concur. I feel one of WWE's biggest problems is maintaining popular faces or face teams for extended stretches. I remember Billy and Chuck getting over during the wedding angle. Gay communities around the world rejoiced and WWE got big publicity from it, but that tag team didn't last long...

    Did WWE forget

    It shouldn't. Recycling is a part of WWE when the going gets tough.

    Did WWE forget

    WWE recycles feuds when they run out of ideas. It's a sad way to make up for lack of means and I for one believe it really hurts the product.

    Undertaker's Wrestlemania Streak

    Speaking from an old school perspective, I disagree. His legacy is built on opportunity and quick success to ensure cheap cashins. His first victory was flawed in three ways: One: he'd just landed in the company and risen to pay per view status. No prep time over the years, just a glorified...

    2013 thread

    AJ Lee's run as woman's champion was one of the highlights of '13. Her crazy persona and bringing in Tamina Snuka as her bodyguard were very neat touches. AJ was the diva you loved to hate but couldn't help admire, a bit like Harley Quinn. The only thing I found awkward was Stephanie McMahon's...

    Men vs. women

    Yeah, a match between them would've been awesome. We need to despell the myth that a man fighting a woman would be like a 20 year old fighting a 10 year old. We need to eliminate the risk of women getting hurt, I'm not blind to that. Francine did have her pelvis broken by Bam Bam Bigelow, but...

    The Undisputed Lucha Libre Discussion Thread

    The classic luchadores were the finest. The ones who came later may have shined in their own lights, but the likes of Rey Misterio, Eddie Guerrero, Psicosis and La Parka are performers we'll never have again. They are the true legacy and are among the Mexican wrestlers that really entertained us.

    Biggest "What Ifs" of the Ruthless Aggression era?

    The ruthless aggression era was the most savage of them all. It featured acts that would've been severely punished in the real world and certainly not easily forgiven. Of all the eras, RA was the best one to sell the heels. The bad guys were the best guys. Undertaker, Kane, Brock Lesnar stole...

    Men vs. women

    I believe in equal opportunities. I've never felt comfortable with men reaping all the rewards by always besting members of their own gender and women only taking on their own, too. I vote in favour of intergender competition because the human being isn't just about the man, it's about the woman...

    Men vs. women

    Back in 2000, WWE had Val Venís fight Chyna for the IC title in an attempt to introduce the concept of intergender competition. It didn't last too long and over the years they tried again with a number of people, but the idea wasn't adopted as a full time practice. My question to you is: should...

    New Jack passes away at 58

    What do you think? Sometimes it's good to reflect on what others would want us to do because then we don't forget the kind of people they were. Part of what makes us what we are is our unspoken wishes for others. Those closest to New Jack would know, but those further away, what would he want...

    Suffer the engaged and married couples

    I'm aware of how the couples in question give their consent to star in the storylines and that there are no actual bad feelings between them and their fictional tormentors, but the theme is always the same. The couple is targeted, belittled, ambushed etc. They have tried to smooth this over...

    Suffer the engaged and married couples

    Please offer me some feedback on this matter. I mean, WWE felt the need to victimize people because of who they were involved with. Sara, Miss Elizabeth, Brie Bella, Stephanie McMahon were all at least traumatized emotionally for being tied to wrestlers. Why?

    2013 thread

    Yes, the presence of big dogs that bolstered WWE in '13. I still remember hooking up again with the company again via YouTube that year. What I saw reeled me back in. I liked the fan favourite vs. heel feuds. They really livened the shows.

    Randy savage - the love of confrontation

    Certainly. How come Dutch Mantel followed in Randy's wake? What Savage did was bad enough, but for Dutch to put in such an indifferent remark, a guy who's married and had his own kids? I don't get why he'd say such a thing.

    Daniel Bryan

    If CM Punk is honest, he won't go back to WWE. Let's look at what's going for him. He's got charisma, he's genuine and he's a realist. AEW would be blessed if he joined their roster. Ps. Let's not forget who CM Punk is married to: a cerebral woman who knows how to enjoy life both physically and...

    Randy savage - the love of confrontation

    On a YouTube interview Dutch Mantel made a bit of a disturbing comment when he got to the part where he mentioned Savage saying who gives a fuck during the waffle bar affair. Dutch said "why would he even give a shit anyway?" What kind of a man says something so uncalled for about someone...
