Re: Jeff Hardy Reportedly Arrested Last Night For Three Charges Including DUI

Jeff is a slightly more modern day Scott Hall. It'll end in finally waking up and smelling the coffee, or complications and death. It's tragic to say it, but those are the facts. When he's on the road with a wrestling promotion, Jeff just cannot stay clean. He seems to do much better at home in the...

Re: Jeff Hardy Reportedly Arrested Last Night For Three Charges Including DUI

Everyone knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Obviously Jeff himself is the main one to blame since he's an adult who responsible for his actions, but his idiot enabler of a brother who only sees Jeff as a fatter paycheque and job security should share some of it, as well as Khan for ignor...

Re: BRM Reviews the 4/28/2022 NXT UK (bad)

POST-MATCH SEGMENT- meh Xia and Eliza attacked Hayze until Amele came out to make the save. I would normally talk about how this attack felt like something that happened because the booker directed it in order to set up Amele making the save rather than feeling particularly organic, but at the mome...

Re: Report: Edge opposed to WWE's 'supernatural' plans for Judgment Day

Saw that segment last night on RAW and yeah, the reasoning was paper-thin at best. Even the crowd was like "wait, what?" when it happened. I get why they did it, but I give it six months at best (magical bullshit or not) before Ripley is back on her own while Balor and Priest are feuding w...

Re: BRM Reviews the 6/8/2022 Dynamite (some great wrestling, but the booking is a huge mess)

In other words, that thing everyone said when Tony came out and said "I'm going to name this belt after our network!" Pretty much yeah. I'd say it's just another example of doing something with only short-term vision in mind ("it'll please the network" or whatever) and not think...

Re: BRM Reviews the 6/8/2022 Dynamite (some great wrestling, but the booking is a huge mess)

Yeah, this belt craze is... something alright. The sad thing is that the two potential explanations I've seen floating around are both bad and concerning. First one was that the idea might be to phase out the TNT title and replace it with the new one because of the branding, which wouldn't bode well...

Re: Report: Edge opposed to WWE's 'supernatural' plans for Judgment Day

The easiest answer is most likely that they were low on top babyfaces after Cody's injury and had to turn someone quickly. You only had Lashley and I guess Styles/Riddle while the other side had Rollins, Owens, Miz, Edge, Theory, Omos and Reigns technically. Trading Balor for Edge is a net gain for ...

Re: MJF - Worked Shoot or Shoot Shoot?

If everyone's going after their boss, no-one is special. So you raise a good point. Wardlow should have cut some very simple promo saying "now I'm free, I'm going to go after the world title" or something and then had a good win over a mid-card guy, feed him someone like Christian Cage, t...

Re: MJF - Worked Shoot or Shoot Shoot?

We're in agreement, hence the comparison to "Summer of Punk". They used the real life gripe to create a story, only in that instance, he ended up leaving. Who knows where they're going, but if it is a work, they've gone all in, he's got no Merch on sale, he's off the roster page AND he wa...

Re: MJF - Worked Shoot or Shoot Shoot?

I can believe that MJF had concerns over his pay compared to most ex-WWE men who get paid handsomely and then get lost in the shuffle doing nothing of note while he's out there doing big quarters and top Youtube views pretty consistantly. There's clearly a big gap between how much ex-WWE men are get...

Re: AEW's Tony Khan responds with expletives to Eric Bischoff's CM Punk claims

Hard to blame Tony here, simply because I don't see how Bischoff could possibly have the financial info to make that assessment. The issue is that Khan is also shouting a bunch of pseudo "facts" with no serious backing while anybody can make educated guesses about Punk's effect on AEW's b...

Re: BRM Reviews AEW Double or Nothing 2022 (disappointing... and WAY too long)

One speculated reason I heard for the PPV going so long with so much added at the last minute was that Tony wanted the main event to start after the end of the Heat-Celtcis game 7, so he filled the card up with matches thinking that people would finish watching game 7, then buy the PPV just to see ...

Depending on if this MJF issue is actually real and not some absurd work designed to create some buzz, this feels like a big turning point and should be a wake-up call.

Both the allegations and the return were pre-SpeakingOut, but Dan Maff also falls into this category, doesn't he?

Re: Ric Flair currently training for in-ring return

This is absolutely true, but there's been a trend in the world the last few years that horrible things people have done have been forgotten, not because there was remorse or forgiveness, but that something else happened to draw the collective ire (I don't mean in wrestling, just in general). If we'...

Part of me wonders if this is going to be a Hulk Hogan-esque situation, where they'll bring him back when they think we've all forgotten about it.

Re: Ric Flair currently training for in-ring return

I assume it's more the former than the latter. If it was money, he would have just stayed with WWE. I don't think that was in the cards after the DSOTR episode on the Plane ride from Hell. WWE not wanting to deal with the bad press and aftermath is probably why Flair was let go before the show aired.

Re: New potential ROH Logo

That's the blandest and soulless logo, so perfect for this version of "ROH". I get that a lot of companies go for a fairly minimalistic look nowadays, but it goes too far more often than not.

Kinda wondering what the new Sinclair-owned ROH logo was supposed to look like in comparison.
