In the spirit of giving, you should all donate to Tom Phillips' recovery fund. As you know, he was badly beaten by a bully.

I mean, I like Breaking Ground and all, but they gotta stop with the "will they ever make it" shit with people who are obviously nowhere near getting cut. I mean, they did a whole segment where Lord Tensai acted pessimistic about Sami Zayn's chances to ever make it to the main roster and/or recover from his injury (despite the fact he hurt himself on an episode of RAW to begin with and that his return occurred before the episode even aired). And this is the second time they've ended a show faking out a big injury that we already know didn't actually happen.

Reality tv trope that got old 15 years ago.

If Vince stuck with his word, next year would have been the final year of Bret's 20 year contract with WWE.

That only would have lasted if HHH A and a drugged up HBK left for WCW.

Between Breaking Ground, Total Divas, Raw, and social media just how many levels of kayfabe are there?

All Sandow wants for xmas is mercy

Spoiler

merry christmas american scum

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I was rewatching Saito vs Inoki from 87 and picking out all the ways they didn't book Shibata right

This match becomes really badass after the ropes get taken down. They just drop all of the wrestling moves and Inoki turns Saito into hamburger.

It was maybe 5-6 years back my friend made a comment about if only Vince knew what Austin was going to create for him. That contract would've looked like chump change.

 

[Rhaknar]

I know I'm super late with this, but Finn came out as fucking Jack The Ripper in Takeover? Complete with custom titantron?

They have this mega star if they want to, and I bet they will totally botch it

Which is why he'll be on the NXT roster for a while lol.

The fact that Becky gets so much air time, Vince must really like her.

This is not a job, it’s a lifestyle. No one here is guaranteed a thing and they all want to make it to the top.

I told you the same thing when you walked through those WrassleGAF doors.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

So that's why Plywood and Pepsi stay jobbing forever

Deservedly

See, I tend to think this way as well but you wouldn't have a Mr. McMahon without the screwjob.

That's the same thing I try to tell everyone in this thread.

If the screwjob never happened, Austin wouldn't have been as big as he was imo.

Why Suggy why!

Suzuki-gun finally has a second cool member.

Plywood is a legend, you show him some respect. Or at least more respect than that fraud DM

I told you to stay away from the snakes when you walked through those doors.

You never listened

I AM the snake

Hey who's that guy.

Those NOAH results REEK of vice president Marufuji politicking himself

0.0 when everyone is on twitter promoting their appearances. Kayfabe is dead when a character like Bray Wyatt has one. At least Undertaker doesn't have one...yet.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Data West]

Abyss in 2005. So good. It's a shame about everything afterwards.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I told you the same thing when you walked through those WrassleGAF doors.

I just want to wrestle some gators.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Watch Tribute to the Troops. Tater tots. Oh. Some of the heels had some good lines at least. I should've just watched NXT.

That's the same thing I try to tell everyone in this thread.

That's wrestling really. Without the curtain call you wouldn't have Austin 3:16. Austin is still thanking Hall & Nash for that today lol.

Praise be to Nash on this fine Nashmas Eve. He gave and he gave and the only thing he received in return was scorn and quad injuries.

You're 100% correct. Nash and Hall were secretly sent to WcW to kill them when you think about it 😮

Is it weird I could hear Tenay call that black hole slam in my head?

 

[Man God]

Didn't Abyss win the belt that year via DQ?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Didn't Abyss win the belt that year via DQ?

Sting kicked Abyss' ass so much he was DQ'd, and TNA had the rule that belts could change hands via DQ (which they frequently got around with no contests)

 

[reptilescorpio]

Nash won in the end, dude is living it up in Hollywood, taking his clothes off for movie covers and such!

 

[funkystudent]

Merry Christmas.


Remember that time TNA had a ladder match (or ultimate x match) and the belt fell down accidentally and everyone froze for a solid 2 minutes because they didnt know what to do? Fun times.

 

[Shamrock7r]

Alright, whose Christmas Tree here is this?

 

[Sephzilla]

"You can't tree me, my pine is now!"

Where is Dean

 

[Data West]

I finally figured out who John Cena reminds me of(other than Sting).

Johnny Stamboli. Like if Johnny Stamboli got a Cena level push, he'd be in the exact same spot.

 

[Skikkiks]

Merry Christmas ya fookin marks

 

[jred2k]

Johnny Stamboli. Like if Johnny Stamboli got a Cena level push, he'd be in the exact same spot.

Upon Googling him I found that he also goes by Jon Hugger. Bayley is a Hugger. People call Bayley the female John Cena.

This thing goes right to the top doesn't it?

 

[Professor Beef]

Where is Dean

Dean strikes me as a guy who isn't into Xmas

 

[Cheetos is Pretty Awesome]

Heh. They're almost the same age too. Too bad his career fizzled out, wasn't he the hilariously-named RELLIK in TNA?
