Surprising my wife with this Bad News Barrett t-shirt. $4 and change with discount code SALE40. I'm truly the best husband:

Danke. Probably not coming back, mods made this environment way too toxic for my liking now. Just thought I'd pop in and get my fill of catering jokes.

Did mods roll through the streets of wrasslegaf with choppa's recently? Or is this a result of Full Sail University enthusiast Markman's doing.

You know what's great about BronsonLee? You can rib him, you can give him shit, you can make fun of his diminutive stature, and he'll take it and give it right back, instead of running to a mod, announcing his ignore list, or performing a dramatic monologue to announce his 2 day hiatus from the thread.

We talk about TMFs, but BronsonWee is TMF to me.

Agreed. If it was physically possible for me to look up to Bronson, i would.

Let me book this shit, brehs.

Cesaro pipe bombs on RAW, telling Owens to take his shirt off on live television. "...and I mean both of them."

Owens complies, compression shirt and all. Shoots a heartfelt "big is beautiful" promo, putting fat shamers in their place.

Big Poppa Powerbomb rips his shirt off every week, flirts with plants in the front row. Owens with the naughty father body, driving the ladies wild.

Double turn complete.

Why am I the only person talking about how good Dalton Castle is? Seriously, WrassleGAF, you're slipping. Dude's got IT. The look, the charisma, the ability. He's deceptively strong, as well. The match with Liger was his coming-out party as a character, but the match with Cole last night was his coming-out party as a wrestler and he totally delivered. I'd say he's just about my favourite guy to watch in ROH at present, his impending feud with Silas Young should be great fun as well. There's another guy who's impressed recently, it's taken a while for Silas but everything's clicking now. Very happy he changed his dogshit finisher.

I like everything i've seen of him, I gotta check out the Cole and Liger matches. Glad to hear that Silas is coming together as well, because i've always liked the idea of this guy's character more than what we actually get

also lmao Alucard was on this dude's train since day 1

Dalton Castle is a walking gif reel. He's incredible, and I've definitely been on Team Castle since Day 1. My first exposure to him was seeing him live as Smooth Sailing Ashley Remington at a Chikara show, and he had "it" there as well.

Some random commentary after reading this thread a bit today.

-Kevin Owens is great. It's a shame he'll likely be booked like any other mid-card guy moving forward after losing the Cena feud.

-I need to watch the CM Punk interview.

-Wrestling fans body shaming is as bad as wrestling fans calling female wrestlers "ugly" or talking about their sex lives. Get a life, guys.

This would make me watch Raw again just to see what would happen next, no lie.

Wrestling is a body business. He's not strong fat like Vader, he's not super fat like Yoko, he just has a fucking beer belly (which, in my mind, Vince slaps every time he walks past him, just to make it jiggle).

But he's a really good wrestler and that makes him a good upper midcard guy in my opinion

Owen has friends in high places , he should be more than a midcard guy and completely agree with the fat shaming stuff, it was funny the first day but now it just old and adds nothing

After Smackdown, we know he has friends in catering at least.

Sasha Banks is a goddess, she's talented and seemingly loves wrestling-- Plus, she's into nerdy shit, so people like me can relate to her. It's how AJ got so popular in the first place.

Being in feuds or with other popular stars helps out a bit.

Since Vince always puts black people together, who does Sasha go with? Maybe Titus.

Eva gets so much shit for nothing.

At least she's putting some effort in to improving her wrestling ability by being down there and training with Kendrick.

I'm fine with Eva. I compared her to Eve just the other day, how Eve was talentless and couldn't wrestle or speak to save her life. She also didn't seem to care about wrestling, which is where a lot of the (s)mark criticism comes from. Because she doesn't love "the business". That she's just another talent lacking model, taking a spot from a talented woman who genuinely loves wrestling.

But Eve improved a lot and I was sad to see her leave because she had improved so much and it seemed just when she was getting comfortable, she was out the door.

I dunno, I like passion, and I like seeing someone care about what they're doing. Someone like Charlotte, Shasha or Bailey for example. Eva is still untested and has a long ways to go, and I hope she improves and grows her love for doing what she does.

The way I see it, she'll end up like Eve or Kelly Kelly.

I honestly don't get why Eve gets so much shit. Honesty it's not really us students, since there is more non-students in there.

Candice Michelle was a model/softcore porn girl turned wrestler and she got a lot better as she went. Fans said the same regarding her. Injuries just derailed her career short.

That's another good one. Off the top of my head, it was because of a neck injury, yeah? Was she the one who fell off the turnbuckle and like messed up her neck?

I think my main issue with it is that people are dismissing her before she can even show some improvement. I'm not saying that every new wrestler with whatever amount of training/experience they have should be embraced by fans right away; they should prove that they deserve to be there. The students, unfortunately, are making it a lot tougher on her to want to continue doing this but I think she'll persevere in the end and become her own version of Eve/Kelly/Alicia as well.

It's nice to see you back here btw <3

I'm not saying people can't/shouldn't criticize her, just that there are better ways to do that other than chanting "you can't wrestle" and making her feel like shit.

She's not the only one to get those chants. Guys like Big Show and John Cena have put up with them in the past.

I watched the WWE Beast In the East show (finally) and loved everything about it. Great crowd, a ton of effort by all involved making for an entertaining show and the commentary was the best it's ever been in a post Jim Ross WWE world.

Also the Dunn-less production style was nice to see too. More Network specials please.
