General Wrestling Discussion

[UnKillFill]

cornette is an honest to god cuck. fuck him and his hambeast of a wife

He'd probably let you fuck her tbh. He seems to be into that sort of thing.

 

[Chad Holdenford]

I've been meaning to ask (I really want to derail the Cornette-politics discussion so two birds/one stone), but are there any good songs or albums about wrestling like Beat the Champ by the Mountain Goats? Not necessarily the same genre, but something inspired by wrestling that's still got good songwriting to it.

The only one I know is The Crusher by the Ramones.

There is also The Wrestler by Bruce Springsteen, but it's more general. And Springsteen isn't much my cup of tea.

 

[Bullet Club]

Horace Hogan, nWo Sting, Scott Norton and Stevie Ray are arriving?

And the ghost of Vincent/Virgil.

Jinder showed up at GCW last night.

Is TK finally learning to control himself by not instantly signing every ex-WWE guy once their 90 days run out? There's been a few releases recently that he has not picked up.

 

[BiggestKai]

You'll be delighted to hear they've most likely signed a female tag team called the Tonga Twins recently and Hikuleo has finished up his NJPW commitments and is also on the way.

Oh god damnit. Are they at least hot as in pre FAT Nia or..?

Jinder being an indian and TK being pakistani, one can claim there might be a reason why he didn't sign Mahal.

Sure, technically. But you know the old saying: "If the skin is brown, flush it down." They're all poos in the loo regardless of geography.

And let's not forget this 6:05 Superpodcast classic:

 

[Harm]

I forgot about this classic. Most people only know about it because of Nardwuar gifting the 7" single to one of his guests, but the song and music video (idk if it's unofficial or official) have a powerful energy to them.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

What about his man the great Bobby Lashley? Does he still support him?

Do we still love Bobby?

Lashley really started to get it once he hit the international scene, like Liga Elite
I remember this live Mania-adjacent supercard I saw him on, when he was the Impact champion during the height of the Hardys/Impact shoot drama, so he leaned WAAAAY hard into HEY WRASSLE FANS I AM THE CHAMPION OF THE PROMOTION YOU CURRENTLY HATE THEREFORE YOU SHOULD BOO ME heeling
worked well

Jinder talked trash about AEW, I'm pretty sure Tony will sooner drop dead or hire a competent booker than pick up Jinder.

Does this include the ghost of Brian Adams?

And is it Goldberg's fault Bret got ambushed by him?

Does this include the ghost of Brian Adams?

Yes. But not the ghost of Curt Hennig.

And is it Goldberg's fault Bret got ambushed by him?

Yes, Bret was feeling the effects of the donkey kick 2 years before it happened. He knew it was coming.

Where is AJ, anywhere? I don't think I've seen her since Punk's UFC training footage.

She's on her Instagram. She looks pretty good except the face, something's off there:



Cute dog though!

Not just any improvised brainbuster either, but the BRAINBUSSTAAHHHHH!!!

Finally defeating the foreign menace Gunther on day 666 of his impervious title reign with the special finishing move of his long deceased trainer El Generico was a nice piece of storytelling. "Fighting spirit" is beyond played out and doesn't even matter when it's a give-in that's overused and isn't saved for special big time feel matches.

There's always Hulk Rules!

I was getting more of a Leah Remini or Mila Kunis without the fucked up eye vibes. Those eyebrows are Amanda Morris-tier for sure.
