Holy shit, Dick Togo?

 

[British Monsoon]

Yeah, he's come out of retirement (although was still wrestling in weird places like Bolivia and Vietnam). Probably going to have to go to that show, never thought I'd get the chance to see Togo in person.

In other news, Vader went on another rant because Ospreay said in a promo "it's not Vader time, it's MY time" and so forth. Now he's challenged Will to a "shoot fight", lol.

Jerry Lawler got arrested for domestic assault.

"MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis wrestling legend Jerry “The King” Lawler and his longtime girlfriend, Lauryn McBride are facing domestic assault charges.

The 66-year-old Lawler and the 27-year-old McBride were both booked into the Shelby County Jail around 1 a.m. Friday.

According to the affidavit, the two were involved in a violent confrontation at Lawler’s home on St. Nick Dr. in East Memphis.

McBride claims Lawler struck her in the head and pushed her against a stove while Lawler claims McBride scratched him in the face, threw a candle at him and kicked him in the groin.

McBride also alleged that Lawler got an unloaded pistol, put it on the kitchen counter and told her to kill herself.

Lawler says McBride was intoxicated and claims McBride is the one who brought the pistol into the kitchen."

That infamous Ric Flair line left its mark

 

[Fox318]

If now isn't the time to get Mauro with Graves we know Vince has something against his look.

Explains why guys like Otunga and Saxton have commentary jobs when frankly none of their prior work is impressive.

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Corbin vs Ziggler is happening again? Why?

 

[miserable]

Gonna watch Dominion. Can't wait for another superkick party

 

[Jamie OD]

Corbin vs Ziggler is happening again? Why?

*shrug*

 

[avengers23]

Corbin vs Ziggler is happening again? Why?

Because they didn't have a six month plan for Corbin's call-up.

Or, the more frightening option, this was the six month plan for Corbin's call-up.

This is why Nakamura and Bayley will fail. (Fill that bingo box!)

 

[klonere]

oh fug.

That means the card is

Shibata vs ZSJ
Damo vs Sydal
Scurll vs Bailey
Ospreay vs Dunne
Bodom vs Ishii

Moose is meant to be there as well, no match announced yet. Probably one of the most stacked indie cards you are going to see anywhere.

NGH

Bodum/Ishii is still a fucking WASTE of Ishii tho

 

[avengers23]

Where's that gif of Triple H and Albert responding to the decision to call Baron Corbin up with, "Really?"

 

[British Monsoon]

Bodum/Ishii is still a fucking WASTE of Ishii tho

Should've done Bodom vs Dunne, don't like the idea of Bodom defeating Hero AND Ishii. He's good, but he's not THAT good.

 

[FlammableD]

Should've done Bodom vs Dunne, don't like the idea of Bodom defeating Hero AND Ishii. He's good, but he's not THAT good.

Yeah, I don't rate him at all, but even if you do you've already had him go through Tommy End, Speedball, Hero and Havoc

WWE just suspended him.

[Kurita]

I'm not even mad if this means Graves can get a callup

 

[Aiii]

Graves is on the pre-show, right? I'm sure he has a bright future in WWE.

Not sure why anyone would think Vince doesn't like him.

 

[giancarlo123x]

WWE just suspended him.

Suspended? That's some bullshit. Fire his ass.

Maybe the poster meant that Lawler should have just been fired for being shit at his job?

Petty Vader is disappointing.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Finally made my way through the chunk of Lapsed Fan having to deal it's OTE and Owen. It's a solid 2 hours, but I suggest everyone to listen to it. Hearing the bit about the rig and only needing SIX pounds of force to disengage just made my stomach turn.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

It's a work

 

[Data West]

Petty Vader is disappointing.

Both sides look pretty bad

I need a chrome extension to change "both sides are bad" to something funny

Sorry dawg, I don't know how Ospready doesn't look bad here when Vader follow up his comments with the fact that he liked the match and thought the rest of it were good and they were talented but Ospreay went REEEEE and kept talking about it and did Vader Bombs after the fact

 

[klonere]

uhhhh I don't think he ever said he liked the match, if anything he doubled down

I might have missed it though, I unfollowed Vader months ago when he was begging to be in the HoF

@itsvadertime
Their moves r athletic, they both r great wrestlers when its done side by side as a routine something has say im trying to win

I'm on Sunny's side now though. It's definitely looking like a work going by recent tweets
boootaaay was used in an angle. gifs were finally an angle.

 

[Striker]

I would have loved Vader wrestling in an era to take down vanilla midgets.

 

[Caderfix]

How many of you think that Seth and/or AJ will go over their opponents in MItB?

 

[newdayrocks]

WWE Game Night remains the best thing WWE does right now.

Wow, is that a new thing? That's fantastic.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

How many of you think that Seth and/or AJ will go over their opponents in MItB?

AJ will.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

In the Jerry thread someone mentioned that Austin's thing with Debra was, paraphrasing, a mistake he paid his dues for.

I know there's a gag order on the whole thing but did Austin face any real ass charges over it all? Just curious. Thanks~

 

[Rockandrollclown]

How many of you think that Seth and/or AJ will go over their opponents in MItB?

AJ should win this, then he can lose his next however many matches with Cena. I can't imagine Seth winning.

 

[newdayrocks]

How many of you think that Seth and/or AJ will go over their opponents in MItB?

I legit think AJ will go over, and I would love Rollins to win.

Wiki says "On August 14, 2002, Austin was arrested and charged with domestic abuse. He pleaded no contest on November 25, 2002 and was given a year's probation, a $1,000 fine, and ordered to carry out 80 hours of community service"

I remember there was a period where Austin couldn't drink on screen, I assume that was related.

 

[klonere]

How many of you think that Seth and/or AJ will go over their opponents in MItB?

Roman Seth will be a no contest

AJ will win dirty

Fair enough, I didn't catch those tweets.

I'll say Vader vs Ospreay happens this year


Definitely not in NJPW. Probably in some British indie
