I wonder if JJ's new strategy is to double down on the alt-right segment of the wrestling audience (is that even a thing?).

Expect to see a GamerGate gimmick for a top face soon

WWE already did that

 

[Tall4Life]

WWE already did that

tjp is not a top face you mark

 

[avengers23]

That irresistible urge to moonsault from high places is beckoning his name.

The pills are calling Kurt.

Why are there so many duds on the main roster while good wrestlers are stuck in NXT but also not very many good wrestlers on NXT? Is there one person in charge of list management across all brands?

People who would be duds are less exposed/overexposed on NXT.

NXT is more profitable with people like Nakamura, Asuka and Bobby Roode on it.

the people that are over in NXT usually didnt get over because of NXT

 

[HashtagLapsed]

The news about Honma hit me hard, I really hope he somehow recovers from this...

Me too. I feel really sad about it.

I hope we hear some news soon.

 

[MG310]

I didn't see DJZ in those spoilers so I can only assume they stuck him in that dumb Suicide costume.

Impact JR thing is this?



- A Jim Ross live podcast for April 1st and 2nd was advertised.

 

[klonere]

The thing is JR is an actively bad commentator nowadays imo

Probably dodged a bullet.

 

[Data West]

i mean most the commentators are pretty bad these days

 

[Anth0ny]

Probably dodged a bullet.

yeah he's pretty bad now. sad.

 

[rrc1594]

Fuck I forgot about GWF who won the Rumble?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Cageside Seats reporting TNA offered Bully Ray a deal to return

He said no

Bubba is gonna regret this when TNA is doing 10 million viewers.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Beefy.

 

[Heroman]

NXT is more profitable with people like Nakamura, Asuka and Bobby Roode on it.

But NXT isn't profitable.

 

[miserable]

But NXT isn't profitable.

How's your territory doing pal?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Drawing as much dimes as HHH's pet

 

[BoboBrazil]

Russo is back in TNA. I can smell it with all the vacated titles and title changes and "edgy" storylines.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Don't forget pole matches for everyone.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

So NJPW commented on Honma. They didnt say much about the extent of his injuries, juat said it isnt known when he will return. Makabe dropped out of their next title match.

They are getting replaced by Tenzan/Kojima.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I expect Honma to be out for a while.

 

[SallyIsNow]

If I were Honma I'd never wrestle again. But wrestlers are insane people so he'll probably be back by year's end if he can.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I expect Honma to be out for a while.

Well, yeah. They also did confirm he has cervical spine damage. They just didnt say the extent of the damage, which is probably not a good thing. Sucks so bad. Hopefully he recovers.

Even though I'd prefer details that doesn't sound as bad as it could've been, great to hear that!

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I hope Honma takes it easy and nothing that would cause permanent damage.

 

[Adree]

I hope Honma takes it easy and nothing that would cause permanent damage.

So Honma to NXT then? Just kidding, this is awful.

 

[Adree]

That Horizon appropriation thread makes me wish more people listened to Chapo Trap House.

 

[tm24]

Yoshitatsu had a horrible match with Volador. Yoshitatsu is truly horrendous

 

[Bluekaveli]

Lots of hurt feelings today.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Heel Miz when he was with Mundo. Don't know wtf he was thinking with that wardrobe


E: roll ups Blue. Roll up Friday still in effect

 

[Pikma]

Mandy Rose in her new in-ring attire is something else

Goddamn

Hey Data, now you have something in common with Okada:

Spoiler

you both got worked by Nintendo

 

[Pikma]

It's too good for this thread

You don't deserve it

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Holy shit this thread moves fast, I just finally caught up. Really entertaining stuff, gives me loads to read, but hard to participate.

So, umm....how about that Raw, huh?



But seriously, I do hope Owens retains on Sunday. He's getting some good heat and they could really build something there, instead of seeing Goldberg as champ in 2017. Making Owens vs Jericho at Wrestlemania for the belt would be special.

As for Smackdown, my kids were both a bit freaked out by the end segment, but couldn't stop about how mean Randy Orton was.

Shows how good Smackdown was!

I wish Peyton Royce would just come out to Billy Kay's dope Ocarina Of Time dungeon theme

Her theme is weak

 

[SallyIsNow]

You don't deserve it

I bet you bought a Switch!

 

[Rimfya]

I'm gonna be real disappointed if Owens loses. It'd be mega smart to keep ramping up his heat with a win.

So I'm gonna be real disappointed.

 

[sf2fanatic]

So guys,

Spoiler

Miz not feeling the mixed tag match?

 

[HazySaiyan]

Yoshitatsu had a horrible match with Volador. Yoshitatsu is truly horrendous

Yes!

 

[Foffy]

At the very least, I hope Honma can fucking walk again.

If he wrestles, that comes second.

Honma's one of my favorite underdogs. I wish him well.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Indeed. It would be devastating if he is permenantly paralysed

 

[Pikma]

Yeah, I just wish he can continue to have a normal life, or as close to normal as possible. I'm already thankful enough he is alive.
