That's as close as you're getting to that, ha!

Oh?

 

[Beefy]

Because that's the king of the ring brother!

Spoiler

Shane's jumping off of that shit

Yep and breaking his legs off.

 

[British Monsoon]

Saw one British fan go nuclear on Twitter about how tame the American fans were at the Progress show.

Haha, yeah I think I saw that as well - I wouldn't say the crowd was bad (other than the idiot chanting boring during the UK title match), just a bit quiet in places. It was like a regular EVOLVE show crowd. But that's a far cry from the sort of atmosphere you get in the Electric Ballroom.

 

[RBH]

Dat shirt tho

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Yeah.

Sums up CFO$. They make about a minute and a half of an actual song and then just loop it once or twice for a wrestler theme. They can make some good stuff obviously but it's usually only 90 seconds or so.

I guess it's hard to make full themes when they're likely working 24/7 on themes for wrestlers.

So, the arena wasn't flooded with Full Sail geeks trying to 100% re-create the Ballroom?

Cornette has no business being on TV in 2017.

I don't think bringing him in would be a very good idea anyways. He has quite a few enemies on the roster as it is.

But we'd get Cornette on Talking Smack which would be the best thing ever.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Oh?

That shit was so bad, you have to listen to them talk about how they made that garbage.

Yep and breaking his legs off.

His problem, not mine.

This is true for a lot of ECW.

 

[Zach]

Are any of you WrestleMania-goers attending Jim Ross' event? Or has that already happened?

(RIP Mickey.)

 

[SallyIsNow]

I knew the Yes chant was over.

 

[Bluekaveli]

This is true for a lot of ECW.

Or a lot of things that aren't in the ny company.

best Sting theme, Man Named Steve

 

[Fox318]

That crowd looks so fucking pumped up

 

[excelsiorlef]

Lol they tease ZSJ vs Elgin today at 81 being for the title at the end of Evolve 80 with Elgin coming out and asking for one and then taking out ZSJ right after he says he'll defend against anyone but the pre show for 81 has ZSJ being like nah he doesn't get a title shot. K

 

[Caderfix]

best Sting theme, Man Named Steve

He does this, he does that
He's big as a bull and is quick as a cat

He looks fine, he looks cool
He's his own man and he's nobody's fool

Don't double cross him or get in his way
Cause if you do, you're gonna have to pay

To the Man called Sting
The Man Called Staaaang
He's a Man Called Sting
Man Called Staaaang

Gotta have one match over the weekend where ZSJ could take the L in Evolve.

 

[Zach]

And during goofy, dying WCW!

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Oh man. Damn crashing in the recliner. Glad I woke up in time for the Evolve event. I see they're running a bit late like normal . lol

[Sweeney Tom]

We'll never see a wrestling crowd this hype again

 

[Kaladin]

More Mid South on the Network.....give me all of it. I think Mid South might be the first old school promotion to have most of a year on there and be bingable.

 

[Cagey]

Data's boy even started the Yes Movement.

What can't Nash do.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Gotta have one match over the weekend where ZDJ could take the L in Evolve.

True...

ROFLMAO. If I had blonde hair that is about what I would have looked like. I had only slept 3 hours last night so I sit in that thing and it was like bam.

Oh and we start off with the fallout from lastnight. It's non-title.

Dead fucking crowd st Evolve 81

I'm really not surprised. The Mania-goers are not your super fans.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Always wondered, how in the fuck do you make bam bam Bigelow damn face.

 

[Nekofrog]

bill looks like what ric flair should look like at his current age if he didn't spend the latter 75% of his life completely and totally drunk at all times

Make him grow hair.

 

[excelsiorlef]

ZSJ bleeding near the eye jesus

 

[Bluekaveli]

Make him grow hair.

Nah that missing tooth still makes him a heel imo.

 

[tm24]

Dead fucking crowd st Evolve 81

They're hungover as fuck!

I'm really not surprised. The Mania-goers are not your super fans.

These guys are big fans though

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Dead fucking crowd st Evolve 81

Their not the worst. There have been some ZSJ chants. You have to remember a lot of these people have already seen a lot of wrestling over the last 24 hours alone so they're gonna be more subdued as the weekend goes on and they get more tired.

Oh and ZSJ's eye is a bleeding. We have blood folks.

 

[tm24]

After that splash mountain, i think it's just shitty mics. So the audio is a complete 180 from yesterday

True true... Spring Break probably wiped a lot of em out lol

He wasn't a face? I always loved Bam Bam. He was one of the big men I looked up to growing up. Even have an autographed Autograph from him and Pretty Boy Larry Sharpe from back in the days when I ordered some tapes from The Monster Factory.

Ah what could have been. You mess up knees and back and yea your dream dies.

 

[Jamie OD]

The room looks roasting hot in there. That would sap away a lot too.

 

[Nekofrog]

bayley shirt working people in that serbia thread in OT, oops.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yup. A lot of these smaller venues don't have as good a cooling system as the big stadiums etc. So that probably doesn't help matters.

Flashback Friday: Triple H's history of dominance in the ring: March, 31, 2014

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Man that falcon arrow from the outside of the apron to the inside of the ring. And from the 2nd rope too. That took some strength.

I mean as in, why do you make Bam bam a face. He's a natural heel. Cut a great heel promo, great worker, etc.

Larry Sharpe.... Ha.
