Unlike when he first got Twitter and was using alllll the F slurs
It was a better time when instead of star ratings and match quality we worried about if someone was going to end Hunter's engaging reign as champion, a title he gave his blood and sweat for to earn when he valiantly and bravely got handed the title by Eric Bischoff.
It was compelling.
Good guys fell time after time, reminding us the truth that babyfaces just don't sell tickets, monster heels beating everyone clean do.
It worked for Bliss now let's do it harder and more intense with Charlotte
There are also some really racist fans that are mad that Black married Zelina and left Isla Dawn.
Charlotte mentions Becky wasn't supposed to be in the rumble anyway. Nia's music plays and she point out she would have won if it wasn't for Becky. It's the dream. Everyone's happy because Ronda can't be trusted to work a match with only 2 other women if the audience turns against her.
Why are you so against the time when wrestling was at its very peak?
I don't get it.
Don't you want compelling storylines like pinning Goldberg with a sledgehammer and feuding with HBK for a year.... Becky is perfect for that HBK spot..
She'll win, just she'll win later and lose of course that's part of the great 03 booking.
Bring back my stories I say
I for one am shocked that the fans that harassed Renee Young for marrying Dean Ambrose are mad about this
Really no "A tale of two cities" reference to start that?
This thread is not bumping for the business, there is no psychology in the words today.
Bell time is in 5 minutes and the line is round the corner outside
Nice to see rev pro back to the classics
Nice to see rev pro back to the classics
Of course no Tale of Two Cities reference
It was indeed the best of times, but on Raw it was absolutely not the worst of times
What's in the water in Britain that makes their wrestlers dress like Holywood Undead is still in vogue?
Steiner going to give gage a death valley driver through a plate of shoney's fried chicken and potatos.

Also CMLL has their weekly Arena Mexico show. Kind of a blah lineup though.
First half of RPW High Stakes has been hit or miss. Whitewolf vs Besties is probably best match so far, even beating out CCK vs Aussie Open which was good but didn't quite compare to their first match, mainly due to CCK heel tactics but still defo entertaining. Fuck Bodom.
What no hype for your boy niebla roja?Also CMLL has their weekly Arena Mexico show. Kind of a blah lineup though.
weird that this is the one where they skip the building for the atrlantis-villano feud for homenaje.
Ospreay's sus mate handing out wristbands on the door is a good first impression
Followed by Bodom out first
Boston doing dull basic offence to no reaction gives me hope for the rev pro crowds yet
Higher concentration of bullet club shirts than I've seen in a few shows, if I had to guess I'd say the crowd vibe is ring of honour circa 1 year ago
Angelico did 2 flips and one slingshot to the outside, beating his previous York Hall total of 0 flips and 0 dives
Bodom caught him coming back into the ring off an interference spot, this was dogshit, literally 0 interesting features
Whitewolf vs Besties was FnP
Started off with some nice solid wrestling, nothing to write home about but fine and they're second on the card
A lot more spotty sprinty stuff down the stretch was was good even if both are a bit rough
Not one to go out of your way for but worth watching if you're watching the show
Sha and Bodom out for a beat down after white wolf win, and generic promo about how hey all of you and management, everything is going to change (pretty much verbatim) 😴😴😴
Bea vs Zoe man I hope this doesn't suck
Well ignoring the finish, which I'll get to, this was the best Zoe Lucas match I've seen and didn't die a complete death (until the finish)
There was more noise than the Bodom match, but also a constant loud chatting amongst themselves and going to the bar from the crowd
There's a viciousness to every Bea Priestly match I've seen that I appreciate. Part of it is her being stiff af, but my head canon is just that everyone shoot hates her. As much of a shit Priestley is as far as we know, I'd actually be totally fine with Bea winning the title and being the ace of the division, I think her having a fucking fight on every York Hall show would do wonders for the division.
Zoe hit the weakest slaps I've seen since the attitude era, and I still hate her feather light corner kick, but she hit a damn good PK so 🤷♂️
Zoe botches the feet on the ropes finish and Roberts somehow counts to 4, and the girls get out of there sharpish while the crowd laugh and grumble. Let's call it less of a failure than intended.
CCK vs Aussie Open let's gooooooooooo
Everyone is booing the time announcements for some reason
We've been doing comedy for 5 minutes (plus a couple before the bell), which I'm fine with but there are already a couple people in the crowd getting restless and yelling boring and minus 5 stars
Gresham is such a fun little shithead
Gresh doing staplegun shots behind the refs back then doing Zandig pose is a plus
They've fought into the crowd, we're 15 minutes in and not really got going yet
CCK now working over Kyle in the ring with Dunk by the merch somewhere dead, this hot tag should be good
Kyle fighting back and Davis coming back got pops
I think the problem is people expected a banger, CCK are playing Uber heels and the cck fans in the audience ain't playing along, so it's just a bunch of disappointed people
Ending stretch was good, then Fletcher reverses Gresham, gets rolled up, Roberts takes 5 seconds at least to get back in the ring from dealing with Brookes and counts 3. Great start for your #1 contenders we already have no reason to believe can beat Suzuki-gun the second time round.

man screw him

Looks like Kawato has some heat or something because lately he been missing the Fridays shows in favor of Okomura.
The semi should be a good trios match, the main, eh, I do not think Niebla Roja can carry El Terrible to a good match.
Speaking of Mark Henry, I think they have a network documentary of sorts coming up for him next week, could be interesting.
Henry's story in wrestling is kinda amazing. He always loved wrestling; got into strongman comp and won then went on Oprah and talked about how he loved to watch wrestling and gets a call from WWF. Get's an insane contract for like 10 year guarantee. WWF shorty found out that he's very terrible in the ring and proceed to put him in ridiculous story lines with the hopes of him quit out of embarrassment. But dude never quit, he loved wrestling too much and kept on going. FINALLY won the world championship in 2011 by destroying everyone with his hall of pain gimmick. Was over even increased ratings for Smackdown.... Then he got hurt... :/
I will definitely check out that documentary. Always loved Henry.
Obligatory, fan reaction to Henry beating Orton for the World title.

How is this promotion? I see this on our cable network but we don't get the channel
Beyond's bringing in Masato Tanaka for the first episode of their new streaming weekly show. Indie wrestling doesn't have the quality of a few years ago but its still fun.
I enjoy it. It's an easy hour of wrestling to watch on a weekly basis, and they showcase some guys that you don't otherwise see in other major U.S. promotions (LA Park, Teddy Hart, Tom Lawlor, and a good amount of lucha talent).
Plus, it's fun to have Tony Schiavone on commentary again.
Their upcoming card for their Chicago show in March looks good too.
It depends on your taste. I honestly cant stand the writing and the matches but some people like it. It's only and hour so its easy to digest.
Surprise MJF to open up the second half, doing all the UK stereotype greatest hits as I'd expect
Called out El Phantasmo like we knew this match was announced, did I just miss it?
The crowd booing time announcements is another tick in the "rev pro crowds suck" column
Loads of MJF shtick combined with ELP doing dope ELP things means the crowd are popping big and behind ELP. A really good reset for a show that badly needed one.
Sabian vs MK really felt like an opener, and went way too long for a match that felt like that. It's a shame, I've liked these guys when I've seen them before (excluding the first time I saw MK years ago, but since his comeback I've liked what I've seen). TBF this match was super last minute, but still.
Pop for just the announcement that it was main event time was roof raising, which could suggest the reason for some of the crowd disinterest...
Been announced as champion vs champion, I assume that doesn't actually mean the titles are on the line, but still really reminds you of the likelihood of a fuuucky finish
Heroes welcome for Billy as usual
It's been 20 and I'm convinced it's going the full 30
Never mind Roberts is down
Ospreay gets PAC down for the death elbow, CCK run out and beat down Ospreay. Try to go after PAC's title and they take CCK down together
Aussies run down to get rid of CCK and we're back at it with less than 5 to go
PAC hits Ospreay with a low blow to try get DQd with 30s remaining. Roberts refuses to DQ. PAC goes up for the red arrow, realises there's 10 left and slowly climbs down like a bastard.
It's a shame Ospreay is so determined to blow right through even "problematic fave" territory to just bellened, because I'm pretty sure he'd be my favourite wrestler. He certainly has been before. He is incredible. This was really good until the shenanigans, which we had to expect.

Yeah, MJF vs El Phantasmo was announced, I think earlier this week.
Glad to hear the main event seems to have delivered and fully agree with your assessment of Ospreay.
I'm very interested in how Walter vs PAC will end
PAC can't lose and WALTER is a heel. It's gonna be hella interesting.
Fuck the revpro crowd btw.
Kairi should be women's champion right now. She can easily generate a ton of positive press for WWE if they featured her.
