Sabu’s one of those I don’t think ever really got their roses, outside of like the tape trading IWC people. He was something to behold, today some of his spots are generic, but at the time, man ECW and guys like Sabu really influenced the shit we see today, he’ll be missed, 60 is too damn young.

Sabu and Taz was a hell of a spectacle and I never hated RVD & Sabu so much as when Barely Legal ended. Hugs to a beatdown, ECW at its finest.

WWE Released: Road to Taz & Sabu at Barely Legal

Final note, I thought that last match last month was a train wreck, but now, I’m glad I saw it.

This is just good business, like how sometimes booths get set up at protests/sporting events that sell cheap knockoffs of certain teams shirts or flags to toss in the bonfire as you tailgate and talk shit about the people you hate.

I’d argue it’s likely TNA is using a print to order system like AEW does/did at the start so if nobody buys them they aren’t out a lot of money.

I feel like Mexico’s wrestling reporters are as dysfunctional as American ones… one says new contracts, Luchablog says assumed contracts, it’s very Observer/SRS/PWInsider-esque.

No matter what, I feel ADR isn’t long for NXT:AAA, unless WWE:TKO is going to be hands off and let them run as normal, which we all know isn’t likely.

Ah yes, a Hail Mary, file some lawsuits to try and discredit the attorney and/or more likely bleed them dry so they have no choice but to enter that bullshit arbitration McMahon and company want.

What a piece of shit, I love it.

I’m late to the party here but just saw this, the “Indy King” looked more like the “Indy Buster” here. Like what the fuck were these guys doing and how can anybody trust them after that? Sheesh, you fucking catch somebody if you see it’s going stupidly wrong. Grrr… I hate these group catch spots even more now.

Eh, everything we know about body fluids now, I think this is OK, bleed if it’s the hard way but don’t go full blood fest with deep gouges just because. I just think there’s some medium between stuck pig and no blood that should be found and balanced.

That tank entrance will love on in my head, good luck to her outside WWE I’ll be watching.

PWInsider now reports they got Shotzi, she’s now listed on the alumni page. Theory better not pick up his phone.

Just remember, this company just made 40 million dollars in gate alone at Mania, that likely more than pays for everyone released so far. In this economy it’s extra dirty, especially for the international stars with our current situation in America.

Releases are standard and par for the course, but mass firings like this when they just made multiple millions of dollars… Fuck TKO.

And here I was thinking he was in the hit and run business. /s

Eric and Hogan taking peoples money while the business flounders? They would never!

Seriously, actual wrestling in America has a very limited audience at least in my part of the country.

Then, it happened. Last month, Oklahoma State’s Wyatt Hendrickson stunned Minnesota’s Gable Steveson — an Olympic gold medalist in Tokyo — with a late takedown to claim the national title at heavyweight in collegiate — or folkstyle — wrestling.

Hendrickson saluted President Donald Trump after his victory last month in Philadelphia. Then, with a United States flag draped over his shoulders, the Air Force second lieutenant walked over and shook Trump’s hand and hugged him.

Hendrickson’s dramatic win and the moments that followed vaulted wrestling into the mainstream and made the timing perfect for Hogan to help launch Real American Freestyle. He’ll be commissioner of a league that announced its plans on Wednesday.

So… much like their beer, they’re hoping the MAGA fans will hop on board.

GUNTHER vs. Pat McAfee announced for Backlash…

In what fucking world does GUNTHER not destroy Pat in less than 1 minute given his character. WWE’s gonna somehow job GUNTHER to an announcer aren’t they?

Thanks for hunting it down, I never would have thought to search Facebook.

The match itself was decent, especially for the time period, not an instant classic but perfectly serviceable and worth 15 minutes of my time.

So… anyone know where I can see the Dusty Dustin Tag team match? Dustin once gave an interview it’s one of his three favorite matches with Dusty as a tag team. YouTube turned up that interview about that being one of his favorites but I couldn’t find the match. It’s too old to be on XWT and I’m not on classics.

Don’t forget Hogan’s involvement with Jimmy Hart’s XWF. That brings him to three I believe.

Oh you shut your mouth, why would you put this into the universe!?!

I’m very concerned with how possible this is. :(

Preach.

I wish they could find a way to slowly bring them back down to just a swamp cult, the supernatural stuff has a very low ceiling for all of them, IMO, but we could be wrong. I also wonder if Alexa is going to be the leader if Bo/Howdy is on the way out again.

AAA’s a special kind of trainwreck that CMLL just doesn’t match.

Well fuck, that answers a question I had in the other topic. Fucking stupid to buy a Lucha company, then change shit about it to make them not Lucha. So much for “we respect Lucha tradition” from TKO’s patsy Triple H.
