I think she's due a lot of credit for actually making women's wrestling get taken more seriously on the main roster.

People shit all over the Divas Revolution crap, but its hard to argue that women's wrestling hasn't become a much bigger fixture on all WWE programming, and a lot of that was because Lynch's program with Charlotte got over.

I mean, at WrestleMania 31, the women's title was not defended at all and got like 6 and a half minutes in a 4 hour show. At WrestleMania 32 the women's match was 16 minutes long, eclipsed only by the incredibly overlong Reigns/HHH and Undertaker/Shane matches.

And even then the Wrestlemania 30 match was the only time the Diva's title was ever defended at 'Mania and that was a six minute match with everyone involved that was messy all around and seemed just like filler until Paige's debut the next night. It took like five years for the belt to get its first 'Mania match. Hell if we go at it technically with the WWE Women's Championship being decided with the Diva's title retired at 32, it might have only been defended once.

Way too many fucking tag-matches and battle royal's won by Santino Marella dressed like a woman for the past few years.

WWE covers 3 brands, 3 nights a week. I don't have time to watch more than one promotion and frankly, I don't like wrestling enough to watch a bunch of indie shows beyond certain individual matches.

Hell, even with live SmackDown I don't actually watch it. I just read what happened.

It keeps you more sane imo. Maybe catching ROH in the weekend is cool but it's hard to watch anything else if you're watching wwe. It's a commitment. And like you said, you're not so in it anymore and everything else would just be background noise.

Guys, do you ever wonder if Hogan says "brother" to whatever woman he's giving the pipe to

I think we all know what Hogan says while getting his heat back in the sack.

Bronx........


But I've learned one of the wrestling tennets of the older guys is that, "brother" is the main word in their vocabulary. Sadly, I've been consumed by them and say it all the time.

I fucking love this comic. And really, all you need is the first panel. Perfect.

Just think, we might live in a world where total height of both WWE World Champions is less than 12 feet.

Was the python 24 inches?

 

[Menome]

Dude, M'KnowMae, give me a tip or two on that poisoning boss bastard.

Blood-Starved Beast? Keep rolling towards him when he lunges with his claw (I forget if he lunges with his left or right claw, but that's the direction to roll in). Try and take in about 10 of the poison-reduction items.

When he starts spraying poison, keep your distance and try to keep a pillar between the two of you when the spray goes off.

This fight tends to be easiest by going full-on and getting hits in as often as possible. Letting the fight go on too long means you're just likely to die from poison after running out of antidotes.

 

[jmdajr]

Was the python 24 inches?

It was scary

I don't think elementary school me could have ever envisioned such a scenario.

 

[31GhostsIV]

I will be surprised if they don't have Bayley and Sasha headline a Raw PPV in the next year. They're both over enough to work it and its nothing but positives for the company since unlike UFC or boxing, wrestling PPVs don't ride or die on the strength of the card.



I don't know what a goober is either, beyond the fact that both AJ Styles and Finn Balor qualify. It doesn't mean I don't like them. I expect AJ Styles to win the World title on Sunday.

AJ deserves that world title but... I dunno. I just don't have the faith that they'll take the belt off of Dean.

It was scary

Hogan's python or Terry Bollea's?

Sorry but brother Dean is keeping the strap friend.

 

[Kaladin]

If WWE were to announce a Heavyweight Classic, who would you pick from the indies to make up 32?

Sure, some picks would be surprises from countries with wrestlers we've never heard of, but there is a lot of damn good talent in US, UK, Japan, Mexico and Germany that they can build at least half their field from.

 

[Menome]

Sorry but brother Dean is keeping the strap friend.

I keep trying to put a bet on Dean Ambrose retaining at PaddyPower, but Backlash isn't even in the Sports Novelties section like WWE usually is.

EDIT: Oh, NOW it's there just to make me look stupid.

Fucking disrespecting the blue brand will leave you with cold hands and feet after you suffer the tragic defeat from The Veli.

I don't think they had AJ Styles beat Cena clean just to immediately lose to Dean Ambrose.

 

[jmdajr]

That just reminded me that Chyna's dead.

Awful. Felt like abuse to her.

 

[wild wild rice]

I hope you're right. AJ's been my favorite wrassler since getting back into it so I wanna see the dude win the strap. Even though it's fake and doesn't matter.

 

[Bluekaveli]

That just reminded me that Chyna's dead.

Apparently her mother has reopened the case on her death because the person who found her dead, she fired him the week of her death. She thinks that he possibly had a hand in it maybe.

 

[Kaladin]

Who is your pick for next week's CWC finale?

-Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Gran Metalik
-Kota Ibushi vs. T.J. Perkins

I'd go ahead and out twice as many < between The New Face that Runs the Place and the vanilla demon king.

Metalik vs Perkins. Give the final to the two guys actually in the Raw Cruiserweight division.

 

[Bluekaveli]

hmmmm.

Chyna’s mother has asked police to take a second look into the late WWE alumna’s death. Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Jan LaQue has spoken with the detective in Redondo Beach that is handling the case and has made a request to re-evaluate the case, noting that the detective was “very cooperative.”

Chyna’s passing on April 20th is believed to be due to an accidental overdose of a prescription sleeping pill and a tranquilizer, although that information in the media was spread by her manager Anthony Anzaldo. The official cause of death is still pending further investigation due to the toxicology report not having come back.

LaQue says that she doesn’t believe Anzaldo was being entirely honest following the wrestler’s passing and says Chyna appears to have fired Anzaldo weeks before she died. The site says it has obtained emails in which Chyna wrote LaQue saying that Anzaldo stole money and that she was getting away from him for a while, saying, “Please refrain from talking to Anthony at the moment.” LaQue believed at the time that Chyna was dealing with some personal troubles but since then she has come to suspect that it may not have been the case.

PWS notes that Anzaldo gave away Chyna’s cello and has been “confrontational” when LaQue has asked who received it, where the rest of her possessions are or how the money donates to her estate is being used. Anzaldo has yet to respond to a request for comment.

I gotta go with ZSJR or TJP. Both have been the most impressive of the final four. Gran Metalik would be the biggest surprise win IMO. I can see Ibushi, but i can also see them having him take the L to TJP if he botched the countout finish like most think he did.

I haven't seen it. Something about the combination of wrestling and porn I find very off putting without even knowing the specific content. Not even sure I'd jump on it if the WWE Network porn.

Imagine the subscriber numbers if it did, though!

Fuck ZSJ. Fuck Ibushi. Don't see them giving it to Gran Metalik. All aboard the TJP train!

#shoot

Also, nothing the Full Sail crowd has done so far was worse than their boos and "Bullshit" chants when Perkins won. Fuck everyone in those seats.

Curt Hawkins is so gonna debut in a feud with Mojo Rawley over who gets to be Zack Ryder's best friend.

Do you like watching really badly shot amateur porn of a woman with too much plastic surgery that's drunk/high(?) with commentary by X-Pac whose smacked out of his fucking bin?

One Night in Chyna is two drug addicts trying to make money.


'Queen of the Ring' is far worse. Chyna looked fucking dead inside. I don't think even the most sadistic porn watcher could get off to it if they know anything about Chyna's life.

I was in those seats....didn't agree with the bullshit calls there. Swann injured his leg in the match and TJP worked it to perfection. It was the only way to end it. I was chanting along with the bullshit calls when Ibushi was counted out so early in the match. Felt like I was being robbed of seeing Ibushi wrestle.

 

[Menome]

There we are. I've bet in favour of Punk, Ambrose and Rhyno/Slater. Only need two of them to come in, then it pays for Battlefield 1.

I want to go with Ibushi but fuck him for kicking out of the burning hammer and breathing TBK. But! Also he has yet to sign, I'm pretty sure they want someone who will actually be able to represent the brand! But I could be getting worked by Ibushi since DM has said they're being told to keep in the hush about if they've signed or not. Basically he could be swerving us. Realistically, I see Ibushi v ZSJ in the finals.

I would bet against all three of those. Gall, Styles, Usos. It's happening.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Wait fuck Menome, damnit! Don't you put that curse out! Retract those bets now!

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I think the one issue I have with Ambrose on the mic is when he starts sounding like he's following some beat instead of just talking, ready to drop the rhymes any second. It isn't exactly bad because he's still great on the mic, just something I always notice whenever it happens.

 

[Kaladin]

Ambrose should study Brian Pillman and try to be more like his character. Dude made you feel like he was crazy enough to do something crazy.
