Wow, Scott Steiner looks like absolute shit these days. I mean all those tattoos, man. Ugh.
His chest is all fucked up from surgery. The heart in the center of his chest camouflages the huge gap between his pecs.

No, I get that. But that doesn't explain all the other hideous tats. That shit on his back is awful.
Well, yeah. He hasn't been right in the head for a long time.
But he owns a Shoeny's now!
I heard he has several restraining orders filed against him because he's so batshit insane. One of them is from hulk hogan too.
I guess NWO wasn't really 4lyfe
I don't know about that, Nash and Hall were at the grand opening.
Anything for a free meal.
So Ric Flair is in a medically induced coma.
Kurt Angle makes his in ring return tonight at TLC though I figure there will be some stupid shenanigans that will prevent him from doing any in ring action. ...but you never know.
Finn vs AJ should be amazing.
ESPN's 30 for 30 is going to feature "The Nature Boy" Rick Flair on November 7th.
http://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/21151896
Rick Flair's a legit living legend.
Also, WWE just got interesting by letting Matt Hardy cut the most insane but hilarious promo:
lulz at that laugh at the end. Reminds me of the old 90s promos guys used to cut.
WTF?!
Looks like TNA finally gave up on their case against the "Broken" gimmick. Word also is that Vince is giving Matt full creative freedom with the character.
HBO is going to have a documentary about the legend, Andre The Giant in April.
Hulk Hogan once went by the name Terry "The Hulk" Boulder. WTF?!
Most of these dudes spent twenty years workshopping various names. I think the Boulder thing was from a tag-team, Boulder Brothers.
This is some crazy shit!
Goddamn, he still looks like he'd tear your head off. All twitching and shit.
This is an interesting documentary on the rise of John Cena.
Oh fuck!
Reigns with leukemia. Stunned.
Dayum!
Vince will go to any length to get Reigns over.
Yes, I know it's real. I kid.
First time I've ever heard just applause for him without boos. ;)
I heard how bad the main event at Crown Jewel (HHH & HBK vs. Taker and Kane) was, so I skipped around parts of it on YouTube. It more than lives up to the badness hype. Even if Triple H didn't completely tear his pec early on (which totally gimped him- he could only barely wrestle with one arm the entire match) and Kane's mask and wig didn't fall off accidentally (lol), it would have sucked. Everyone involved needs to retire for good.
Every time I give WWE a chance, they remind me within seconds why I stopped watching them years ago.
I stopped watching it when it was still WWF.
Let's link this match where a guy tears a pec and then someone's wig falls off.
Didn't Undertaker retire, like, for real? gave out of character interviews and everything?
Shame...
Same. Pre-NWO.Quote:

BTW, both HHH and HBK are bald now?
Shawn Michaels is bald now?
Old man lie down time after that flip.
I was hoping Taker would be different.
Saudi money is nothing to sneeze at.
You tuned in and only watched 60 year olds from a bygone era. AJ v. Samoa Joe was the match of that night.
It's more like The Hairline Kid and Preparation H. That was a good match!
I haven't seen them in wwe but they had some awesome TNA matches back in the day.Quote:

The Undertaker's WWF debut.
So apparently All Elite Wrestling is a thing now and they held their first-ever pay-per-view Saturday night? And it was awesome? And they have an upcoming TNT television deal in place as well? And a bunch of New Japan Pro Wrestling and WWE guys are in it, including Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega? And Jim Ross is an announcer?
Am I going to have to actually start watching wrestling again?
Beats watching the unwatchable WWE
24/7 Belt. What a joke.
A E Dub! A E Dub!
I had to look this up. So, it's basically the Hardcore Title belt all over again? Wow, can't wait for fun skits of the champ having to fight off challengers while eating at McDonald's.Quote:

The people might want the hardcore championship since PG WWE doesn't really do that anymore. What they didn't want then or now was the stupid scenes of Crash Holly running all around the backstage like a retard. The crowd realized they were bringing back the worst part of that without bringing the best.
I've actually picked up watching WWE since just before Wrestlemania, and it's frustrating since they genuinely have a lot of great talent and they're generally being held back by stupidity. Raw and Smackdown are generally not worth watching since they mostly just throw people into random tag matches to get the most amount of talent on air, but the matches outside of pay per views really don't matter. They are at least still capable of putting out a decent PPV. Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles was a damn fine championship match, and the Money In the Bank mens match was one of the better ladder matches I've seen up until the retarded ending that has VINCE written all over it. Wrestlemania was a pretty good show although it went on for way too long.
About AEW- the Buy In preshow is free on Youtube. It has a regular match and a battle royale, it's a good taste to see if you'd like to watch them or not. The actual PPV was solid as well.
Here's the Undertaker's debut in pro wrestling as Texas Red, at the Dallas Sportatorium.
And, then he became the Punisher, who pounds on wrestlling newbie Steve (Austin) Williams.
These guys should just give it up and get real jobs. They don't look like they have any future in the biz.
John Stossel decided he was going to do a piece for 20/20 about wrestling being fake and certain promoters holding a monopoly. Well, Vince didn't take to kind to what was going on and supposedly (according to Dr. D) instructed Dr. D to make an example of him.
That got a good pop.
He's 46 and injury-ridden. Why would he come back? Is money that tight?
Regardless, you don't get pops like that much anymore. That was cool. But going forward, he'll probably just be part-time and not take any real bumps.
I think it's more that he was forced to retire and didn't have a good sense of closure. So he's feeling great physically and wants to do one more run and retire the way he wants to. Whether it's a good idea it not, who knows.
Word is that Chris Benoit's son David wants to become a wrestler and use the name "Chris Benoit Jr."
Um, yeah. Probably not a good idea.
It's not a good idea. This medical expert breaks down just how serious his injuries were.Quote:

Maybe he's banking on some miraculous nanotech or stem cell treatments, which always seem to be just over the horizon.
It's only a matter of time before pro wrestling moves beyond juice and pain killers and starts turning broken wrestlers into Paraguayan cyborgs.

I watched a clip on YouTube of the Goldberg/Fiend match from the Saudi Arabia pay-per-view. I'm a big fan of Goldberg from his WCW days but this guy has got to pack it in. The only regular move does anymore is the spear and nothing else, and his jackhammer barely qualifies as a half-assed (semi)vertical suplex now. Pathetic.
Pretty much ruined any hype for the hottest act they’ve had in awhile w The Fiend. People tune in to see the old acts but the new gen are generally better
Yeah, me too (fan from WCW days).Quote:

His match with Reigns will last 90 seconds again and someone will win with a spear and hopefully he packs it in after that. WWE is in a horrid state now relying on guys like Corbin to be as relevant as they are.
Goldberg and Undertaker has a PPV in Saudi Arabia recently where they both almost killed each other with numerous botched moves. Excuse the quality of the vid...Quote:

I don't even watch WWE anymore (I just can't stomach it, and haven't for years), although I've recently been considering giving AEW a try.Quote:

I have never liked WWE. I watched WWF, ECW and WCW up until the late 90's, but lost interest when I went to college.
Bingo hall amateurs are where it's at.
I'm not even trying to justify it in any way, but Goldberg got a concussion early in the Taker match. Did the spear in the corner spot, and bashed his head on the post. I remember he did the same thing back in WCW. Taker's disappointment in the whole thing was evident after the match.Quote:

Yeah, I heard/saw that happen. But let's fast-forward to Goldberg's match against The Fiend just a few weeks ago. Perhaps wrestling on the soil of Saudi Arabia magically saps Bill's strength?Quote:

AND his greatest entrance ever! All the definitive 'Goldberg' elements are there: the pounding on the locker room door, the long walk to the ring surrounded by security, the crowd chanting, the massive pyro, breathing smoke, guttural roars to the heavens, wild random shadow punches, Michael Buffer announcing, etc.
And remember...the security isn't there to protect Goldberg. They're there to protect you FROM Goldberg. :)
He had himself to be disappointed in just as much as Goldberg, unfortunately.Quote:

I have no explanation for the Fiend match. Still think them burying Wyatt for the "benefit" of Goldberg was an asinine decision. Pure stupidity, which accurately describes the WWE product these days.
Man, I had no idea Goldberg ever jackhammered the Big Show. That's just nuts.
It was really stupid, yeah. Wyatt had just successfully re-invented himself and they just killed it for the sake of a fragile part-timer.Quote:

AEW has been doing empty arena shows due to the coronavirus bullshit. I watched an episode last night, and it was pretty damn entertaining despite the silence. I think I can get into this promotion...it's a great alternative to the garbage WWE shits out every week.
I stopped by to watch Monday Night Raw, or some other event. It was pretty lame seeing those guys in the ring. It appeared that there was no ref in the ring. I flipped the channel after a couple of minutes, because without the crowd noise and the wrestlers not showboating for a crowd, they kind of looked bad, like old time wrestlers putting on a show in a gymnasium.
I just check out this old video with Lawler vs. Hogan in Memphis. That ring looked more like a trampoline.
Rowdy Roddy Piper showing his attitude early in his career, by taunting the crowd with his Bagpipes.
This shit is comedy gold!
