Breaking: 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper Dead at 61

WWE

A short recap,

Seth went shoot:

New Day rocks:

Dogs are frightened of birds:

#payingdues

Lucha Underground: Where Jaguars are spirit animals to pumas, the Aztecs have a belt for some reason and immortality is a match away.

TNA/Impact "this is" Wrestling: Dying a slow death, will probably end in September.

Taylor Swift: You may be wondering the relevance of Taylor Swift in a wrasslin thread, but given the fact that Kid Rock has turned down the opportunity to perform live at WM32 the opportunity has never been more ripe for the national treasure and all American, bad blood sweet heart to perform at the grandest event ever to grace the squared circle and so with that said here are her tour dates as requested by Vylash for this month:

Be a ☆:

Guys, I've been a member of this community for a long time and even I think this is getting a bit tiresome. I can't tell if people are posting in character (ahem) or if people legitimately feel strongly about wrestler body types, but we need to tone it down a little. I read through just OT2 and found a really high number of posts just complaining about one person in particular. I think the mods that read/post in the thread have been pretty supportive of the community over the past few years and you guys largely post without people interrupting you (I can only think of one time in the past when I've stepped in, and it was due to people constantly posting NSFW images of the divas).

I am going to ask that we control ourselves when it comes to commenting on who we feel is or is not fat/out of shape. I don't think other negative commentary needs to be controlled at this point, so continue shitting on the WWE for being shitty. But I think the constant fat fat fat posts not are only unfunny at this point (unlike Scott Steiner) and a little overboard but actually might be demeaning or hurtful to some posters who actually are a part of wrestleGAF and enjoy posting here.

If anyone has any questions on whether or not they should or should not post something, feel free to send me a PM. If anyone feels any poster is posting with excessively mean spirits or is just a douche in general, please PM me and I'll deal with it. This is a good community with a strong following and it doesn't need to be corroded from the inside. Thanks.

Also RIP TNA

Got to head to bed, but before I go:

1.) Who was that blonde woman-wrestler in the gif on the short-lived OT?

2.) Love you Plywood

Seconded, I like this community and don't want to see it combust over stupidity.

On Topic: I need more Cesaro in my life. That article on the website has me fully convinced that he's the nicest guy in the industry.

Just heard "KILL WHITEY" during DX's "invasion" of WCW.

Well he didn't specify what company Rusev would be main eventing, and I'm positive TNA will still be "dying" in 2020

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Goddamn Chyna was good in 1999. Aggressively going after dudes. I like it.

Hey if Rusev can get a cheque from this company for the next 4 and a half years he'd probably be doing pretty well.

Spoiler

And hopefully managed to keep his relationship with Lana together

 

[Plywood]

Want something in the OT? Let me know.

 

[Sokantish]

Can you put a warning about fat shaming in the OT? And looking like a bird shaming, while you're at it!

 

[blackaroni]

Hi again!

 

[Sibersk Esto]

And looking like a bird shaming, while you're at it!

 

[Frecklestein]

Do you guys think Lana and Rusev's actual relationship can survive the WWE lifestyle? I actually like both of them as a couple.

 

[Vylash]

Want something in the OT? Let me know.

can you add info for taylor swift's latest tour?

I assumed that the poster was referencing Piper's spirited defense of Hogan and how WWE will scrub him from history too.

EDIT: Whoops, just saw the TMZ report.

If you have specifics to ask, feel free to ask Y2Kev via PM. I did ask about some specifics regarding Dempsey, etc - it's just...Owens' ribbing, even though he couldn't feel it, was a little mean-spirited.

Says natural causes. Wasn't he just in a podcast beef with Austin like a week ago? Seemed fine to me.

This has not been a good summer for old school wrestlers.
