It's hard.

Someone needs to get him back in shape, you can't fuck up after all of that.

 

[FallingEdge]

Fuck your two year old footage gif, OP

what a doughy body

embarrassing

From what I gather the storyline/writers as on-screen personalities stuff is largely shit, but there have been some good matches so far - Ospreay vs Martin Kirby recently, for example;

must be nice to have that kind of pull with subpar work

Uh, yeah you absolutely can. There's a reason addicts are so looked down upon - it isn't a problem you just fix and then move on from, in most cases. It's a problem that recurs throughout life and if you don't have patience/understanding about that, then you probably should just stay out of it.

The fact he's had any recovery from it at all is a good thing, but it's a shame he seems to be struggling to keep that up. You never know though and in the end, it's his life.

Also, DDP may have helped, but it's a mistake to think of Scott Hall's better condition in recent years as like, a gift DDP gave to him. It was Hall's decision every minute he wasn't drinking.

He looks like he did P90X successfully. I would have guessed MMA boot camp is harder.

 

[Silexx]

It's been said before, but I'll say it again: May the Owens-Jericho bromance never end.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

This thread has shot on Austin and Bret today.

It's time to shut this fucking gimmick month down.

 

[imBask]

who's shooting on Austin? bring them to me

 

[Mahonay]

yeah, just ask bret hart

 

[avengers23]

I think you guys are over sensitive about the Dana body-shaming thing. That was nothing and Dana is more muscle than fat, get over yourself jabroni marks

It's no Piggie James, that's for sure.

What an awful angle that was.

 

[avengers23]

if he's a lumbering beast-man then he shouldn't need to climb to the top rope

We know what happens when big men go up top.

[Oersted]

It's all downhill from there

Bo squash match tho

 

[Silexx]

Yeah, I can definitely see how the show fell in the later half of RAW. Though I don't feel like Sasha's promo on Dana made her a 'hypocrite'. I just think Sasha's mic work is better when she's a heel than a face.

[jmdajr]

he had to travel constantly and work hurt, fitting in workouts where you can as opposed to training all day, everyday for 2 years, but sure, he hates you

Remember that one time Chris Jericho had abs?

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

It's kinda hilarious nobody seems to get the Miss Piggy reference was more for Dana's face, not her weight. Not that it is any better in terms of insulting her.

But please continue with the "body shaming" crap, you guys.

You know who needed to be shut down?

Young Shawn Michaels when his junkie ass first started running his mouth. If he shuts up and does what he's told once, we never get current HHH and the nightmare is just a dream all along.

Yes, let's make fun of people for their looks instead. A wise decision.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

While we're being dead honest, Rusev at his best wishes he could be Kozlov at his worst.

 

[Cagey]

While we're being dead honest, Rusev at his best wishes he could be Kozlov at his worst.

I will defend bodyshaming and looks shaming to the last but I will not tolerate Rusev shaming.

 

[The Strokes]

See that's what had me puzzled, my first thought was "I thought they were a top 10 compilation, where does actual wrestling fit in here?"

What a strange set of events

Their wrasslin shit is considerably more famous than all other things they do.

Also, I guess I'm in the minority, I like What Culture and enjoy some of their vids here and there, also some matches over at WCPW have been real good.

 

[Uno Venova]

So a role model face calls girls with who's clearly going through emotional abuse from their mentor "ugly".

Yeah I found that weird. II mean sure, it's still about appearance, but everybody is misinterpreting what the insult even means. And it's not like male wrestlers don't frequently mock each other's appearance as well. It's usually around things like hair style, but superficial things to do with appearance are a big part of this show.

I dunno. I'm not saying I like it but i don't see the 'i want to inspire little girls and dana brook is a fat ass!!!' thing. And uh, Dana Brook isn't even fat, so I dunno where that comes from. She is great shape by the looks of it to me.

[wild wild rice]

This New Day segment is so long and ridiculous.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Sweeny, you know I love ya. Ya one of my favorite posters here. But this just ain't right.

Much better entrance theme, better look, didn't lose to Cena, didn't waste a good entrance on a loss to Cena, beat the Undertaker, was in a match with HHH and Edge AND didn't take the fall, AND he put over Mark Henry in his last match. No contest in my book, one's simply the better man

 

[somedevil]

Its hard to criticize Rusev when he just married Lana.

Bayley?

Bayley?

smh beef

“You know why that Jason Jordan smile looks stupid?...

Because he's stupid”.

My god, Jerry makes the pre-shows worthwhile.

So he's looks shaming and intelligence shaming. You support that?

I love RuRu but...what do you mean?

 

[Cheat Code]

FUCK YEAH SMACKDOWN

 

[UraMallas]

The Smackdown Woman's Title is pretty slick.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

6 pack elimination challenge?

That's gonna be a long match.

 

[Sou Da]

Look at this dork.

 

[bbd23]

show starting with becky

smackdown wins this week

 

[somedevil]

I love RuRu but...what do you mean?

I mean comparing him to Koslov is hilarious. He already beat him by doing this but as a worker and character Rusev wins.

 

[TheStruggler]

opening segment feels dull but lets see

 

[SallyIsNow]

SmackDown trying to be worse than RAW.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

So, regardless, we can agree it was something that Sasha shouldn't have said. Right? Especially as a face. Right?
