Rough year for that dude.

It might have been this angle, I'm not sure. But one of the 'attacks dudes at a gas station' wrestling angle led to some good ol boys jumping in and it turned into a real fight

We in some hard tymes, dadeh.

RIP Dusty. This news hit me like a ton of bricks. Saw Haitch's tweet and it really caught me off guard. Pro wrestling has lost it's greatest mind.

Why are you guys even trying to reason with this schmuck? He's probably just jacking off to all the attention. How the kid isn't banned, I have no idea. It's pathetic.



Oh, ya know? Didn't consider that. I've never Ignored anyone on here, but I think now's the time. Thanks.

Had him on the ignore list for a while, though the quoting doesn't help. Can't say I'm surprised to see him trying to cut everyone with his edginess as usual.

We each have our own personal way of coping with tragedy. Most with sadness, some with humor, others with anger. I'd hope everyone understands that, and that cooler heads prevail.

“Today, I lost one of my greatest opponents and greatest friends. He was the definition of heart and soul and I’m honored to have shared the ring with him countless times.

He became the ‘American Dream’ because wrestling needed a hero they could respect, and he was the man for the job. Dusty Rhodes, I will miss you my mentor and friend.”

Agreed. Would be a shame to see WrassleGAF perma-end because people fight. Though I guess it'd be fitting.

It seems like fate has brought me back to this shattered community just in time. Let me be the balm that soothes the white hot animosity that is burning amongst y'all.

Here is the Viewership for ROH and TNA for Wed:

ROH at 8pm: 161,000
TNA at 9pm: 330,000
ROH at 11pm: 138,000
Click to expand...


TNA was up 33,000 and ROH was up 26,000 for the combined shows. Right now it seems the ROH and TNA fans just watch their shows and not watch both.

Some good news
**Steve Austin noted on his “Unleashed” podcast today that he is scheduled for 11 more podcast specials on the WWE Network and would indicate that they worked out a one-year deal for a podcast per month on the network. In the press release last month, the WWE noted that Sting and The Undertaker are scheduled to do the show but no dates were given for those interviews

Wow a sad day for some important cultural figures passing away :(

RIP dream, I should go dig up a match of yours because I have never seen him wrestle.

I checked the comments of that Flair article and one of our friends over there made a very good point about Dusty's era verse today

Why does some rinky-dink $1 XBLIG game (Action Arcade Wrestling 2) capture the feel of the AKI games better than any retail wrestling game in the last 10 years?

Bummed about Dusty. R.I.P

I still remember the blood is thicker than money tag team match he had against the million dollar man like it was yesterday.

The only thing I hope for out of the Sony show is a National Vue launch. I'm prepared to cancel streaming services (except for the WWE Network) to help pay for that if it's ~$50 like I expect.

Shit, I just realized, the Sony E3 press conference is at the same time as Raw Monday night at 9pm EST.

Two shows an hour longer than necessary with the first fifteen minutes of authority figures talking about the same old stuff you heard the last time they cut a promo with an audience chomping at the bit for those cheap pops, I can't decide!

Does anyone else find it just a tad strange that a personality like Steve Austin (or at least the character he presented) has gone all-in on technology/social media/the internet post-retirement? If you'd have told me in his prime that he'd be doing something like this I'd be like "he looks and sounds like he doesn't even know how to turn a computer on". Maybe that's the mark in me.

He was probably exactly how you imagined. And then he decided he wanted to make some dollars.

He's always seemed like a smart dude so him adapting to the times seems par for the course, to me at least.

I'm sure he has an agent who's pressured him to do it. But he's also a pretty smart guy so I dunno.

Today on Austin's podcast I learned that

- He uses viagra ("I like fuckin' and it helps me fuck even better!")
- He likes beer.
- He has met Sasquatch aka Big Foot aka 'Quatch aka BF and conducted a lengthy interview with him, sadly he had no batteries for his Zoom. 'Quatch was a fan of the IPA Austin was drinking.
- His college coach padded out his football stats.
- Enforcing mandatory cold showers for all California residents will fix the water shortage.

Austin is just a smart guy when it comes to leveraging his particular talents. His grasp of technology, limited as it is has me honestly more interested in the bizarre little stories he comes up with when "shootin the shit" than main roster storylines. He's fantastic. The whole deal comes off as too earnest to have been foisted on him by an agent/agency as well.
