Random Question: Does anyone think Turd Towns sounds like Markyd123?

I'll be honest, I dislike Marky at a similar irrational level that Cyrus hates Eddie Kingston. His stupid gimmick voices are retarded, he is a huge mark for himself, and his review style is like Jim Cornette if you took away any of the wit and wisdom. He generally has no idea what he is talking about, and tries super hard to be an anti flippy guy mark. His best bit was the "Wild Snapnuts Appears" and his review of the Double J reign of Terror. Also he's British. Ew.
 
Was he disappointed he didn't die?
Absolutely

He saw the movie The Wrestler not as a cautionary tale but a blueprint to immortality. He's seen the much more iconic Hulk Hogan already start to be memory holed just because he said nigger a couple times. Flair has to be terrified he will eventually be erased as well for the plane ride from hell, and his life's work being lost to the sands of time.

But if he literally dies mid match like Randy the ram from the movie that's the type of thing that would be talked about for generations to come. And not having to pay x-wives anymore is just the icing on the cake.

This But Unironically. I Just Found This Tweet From A Couple Of Days Ago Where He Confirms He Wants To Die In The Ring.

Why Do Boomers Type Like This?
 
I’m late because I watch a recording, but Based Impact Wrestling - putting replays Bailey v Osprey and Shelly v Alexander from Bound for Glory, arguably Impact’s biggest show of the year, on Free TV.

Either they had some production problems this weekend and are airing them free to make up for it, or someone in the back is unfathomably based.

Edit - Scratch that, they’re showing highlights from the entire damn PPV. Changing my options to include “Mass Travel Issues”, because this isn’t exactly common…

They are shook like a lot of smaller promotions are by the chaos in the industry right now. Billy Pumpkins somehow managed to convince Cyber Agent to let him host a complete 25 minute main event match from TJPW's marque show, Wrestle Princess, ad free and uncut on NWA's youtube channel and the nearest justification I can figure is because a freelancer who is wearing the NWA's women's belt was in the match. People sense that AEW is on the verge of collapse and everyone and their mother is trying to rush in to become the secondary promotion.

I like to shit on the state of wrestling as much as the next boomer who grew up watching Attitude Era kino, but honestly this is the closest the industry has come to another boom period. Outside of AEW everyone has more viewers, more ticket sales, and more buzz. It is no where near as hot as in the late 90s, but this is the first time since the AE ended that the entire industry (minus AEW) has had positive growth instead of the eternal decline.

AEW is shitting the bed btw. Ice cold
 
If Ric Flair were to die in the ring on AEW television, I wonder how the AEW marks would react.
AEW has Darby Allen already, Sammy flipping outside of the ring on to the cement, and Sting jumping off of ramps on to tables at 64, having another guy trying to kill themselves in the ring is normal at this point
 
Were you inspired by AEW's resident Lil' Nigga doing this?

Not even Christian Cage could save Darby from this level of fatherless behavior.
Could you even imagine putting this empty bag of crisps against a Scott Steiner or a Stone Cold Steve Austin? And these fucking redditors who dilate their arseholes with funko pops say guys like Darby are going to be "the next Stone Cold". These new wrestlers are all the fucking nerds who got beat up and laughed at in school. All the actual tough guys fucked off to MMA due to it being less hassle. No one in AEW looks believable as a fighter. Even the muscle guys look like they belong in Gachi as opposed to wrestling. No one prioritises making the wrestling look believable and it's a big reason AEW is such a shitshow.

I used to like Marky but I started watching Turdtowns. (It's obviously him and I've no idea how that's even in question) And he likes use Turdtowns to make not so subtle digs at Brexit and people who voted for it. Because Brexit has become a great excuse for the corruption and incompetent malice of the government. I liked his wrestling videos but his politcal takes are basic bitch shallow Guardian tier self wanking. Very disappointing.

You're right but he introduced me to Paparazzi Productions Nash so he has a soft spot in my heart. I also pop for Blonde for Men Smack of the Week and the cab driver slam. Your criticism are valid tho
 
You have to wonder if the nostalgia acts like Flair and RVD are hurting the ratings.
Just noticed this post and absolutely. Before the ratings even came out this week Dave predicted there would be a massive drop for the Ric Flair segment and noted that nostalgia acts don't work on television.
It is early on this episode of WoR if you want to check it

SmackDown is the full show, it's an hour and a half once the commercials are taken out. The NXT "PPVs" have always been cut down to a hour. Similarly, Raw has always had the hour cut. IIRC it's because Hulu is mostly owned by Fox, and NBC/USA doesn't want their content given out for "free", they want people to pay for Peacock. The free episodes on there are in full but a month behind. I would assume when SmackDown goes over to USA, the Hulu version will be cut down as well.
My brother and I were pissed about the baseball shit since neither of us have FS1 on our cable packages so we ended up going out to the bar last night. His wife has to pick him up from jail on Monday, I had to have a talk with the sheriff for completely different reasons.

Catching up on Smack right now and it is crazy how much the WWE audience loves Eli Drake and I am all here for it. An old and busted indie guy got another chance at the big show and is forcing the WWE to book him as a main event talent just by being more charismatic and organically over than their hand picked talents. This is all I ever wanted out of the WWE and the big reason I spent most of the 2010s hating them. A guy that gets over on his own should have a shot at the main event. If he sinks, let him sink, but if he can swim well then just let the dude go as far as he can. Vince hated smarks so much that he couldn't even tell the difference between them and normal fans and ended up booking to spite normal people. I may not personally like HHH as a person, but I respect the game for not hating his audience like his father in law does.

Also wild to think that the first half hour of last nights Smack all feature former NWA talent. LA Knight in the opener and Nick Aldis in the first women's segment.
 
If you can track down a stream of NWA's Samhain I highly recommend you do so if only for the Thrillbilly match. It was amazing and his promo was just dimes raining from heaven. Billy Gourdsquash learned his lesson from Nick Aldis and was smart to put the Thrillbilly on a paid contract. He is absolutely worth the money and you don't want him to get poached by WWE or AEW.

They literally smashed a pumpkin. Also did Billy bring coke and booze for the talent? That pile of white powder looks legit lol.

So is Danielson now the one with glass bones or is every okada match in AEW cursed?
