2 Cents: Braun's release

Most ignorant ass shit I could possibly think of. It would be like if you looked at Kane in 2003, when his gimmick was running a little stale, and releasing him instead of pivoting and giving them a huge push.

Re: The Funny Wrestling Topic

https://twitter.com/wiretap804/status/1399206181495705602 My first thought when I saw the graphic was the Bill Watts approach: those guys went to AEW because they're cowards and not tough enough to be around Randy Orton. They did that to explain Crush's departure from the WWF in 1997 as well, said ...

Re: BRM Reviews the 5/25/2021 NXT (great!)

Dibiase had no reason to go around tormenting Grimes. I suppose you could claim that he was trying to help Grimes focus in the ring like Ted claimed, but if that's what he was doing, it would have made a lot more sense to just say something to the dude instead of continuously tormenting him. Before...

Re: BRM Reviews the 5/25/2021 NXT (great!)

“MILLION DOLLAR FACE-OFF”- I liked this a lot, but probably not in the way WWE wants. Grimes told Dibiase that Dibiase was his hero and that Dibiase had taught him that if he had money he could treat people like sh*t. Dibiase said he had done what he had done to try to help Grimes learn to get focu...

Re: BRM Reviews WCW Superbrawl: Return from the Rising Sun

I need to re-listen to some of their classic TNA stuff, but if people haven't heard them yet, NEED to check out Vinny's rants on 1) the Divas Revolution/MizTV segment, and 2) the Lockdown 2014 main event. That's how you rant about pro wrestling right there. "DIXIE CARTER'S MUSIC STARTED PLAYIN...

Re: BRM Reviews WCW Superbrawl: Return from the Rising Sun

Thank you! And I didn't even think this one was that good. That first few months of Nitro (and the PPVs) run I did has some great stuff in there. I also fell down a rabbit hole and recently reread some of my stuff about the 2017 Survivor Series build and some of the stuff after it on Smackdown with...

Re: Day-to-Day Quote Topic

I may be in the most minority of minorities, but I don't want any top NJPW guy on Impact or AEW or ROH to begin with. I am a bigger fan of NJPW than most promotions, and from that standpoint, I don't want my top guys going for programs to the US or the UK or Mexico. I'm happy with the NJPW midcard ...

Re: BRM Reviews WCW Superbrawl: Return from the Rising Sun

OZ’S ENTRANCE- Yeah, this is getting its own section. We start with fog and flashing green lights. There is a castle set up on the end of the ramp. Kevin Nash’s voice starts narrating to us that there was a second wizard in Oz. Not the one we know, but the “Great Wizard.” The fans were already booi...

Re: BRM Reviews the 5/12/2021 Dynamite

I'll just comment on that this week, because the rest was just the usual and I don't feel like repeating myself yet again. A few weeks/months ago, I said something about how one day, Cody was going to cut this big time promo trying to rival or even surpass Daddeh's Hard Times (and call it Difficult...

Re: BRM Reviews the 5/5/2021 Dynamite (Blood & Guts)

This has nothing to do with the death of kayfabe. Yeah, it was a bit silly when Rusev was the evil Russian sympathiser, but it still worked and by far the highlight of his WWE run (between cuck angles and a catchphrase). Here, we have Ogogo who made some snide remarks apparently in promos and inter...

Re: BRM Reviews the 5/5/2021 Dynamite (Blood & Guts)

What’s the difference between making someone submit and making someone surrender? I always assumed the surrender stip was put in place so someone else could surrender on your behalf if you were getting your ass whopped too bad. Or, if you're, say Brian Pillman in that war games where he got necked ...

Re: The Funny Wrestling Topic

Wade Keller made a good point that with AEW, the issue of the execution wasn't so much the effect itself as it was the horrible choice of camera shot to use. If they don't give us a close-up of Jericho, the effect is not exposed at all. I really wasn't bothered by that, may be the only one out ther...
