WON Awards came in. Glad to see that AEW swept as well all no doubt expected. My personal favorites were their naming of Adam "Ally" Page as best on promos and his feud with Mox as best feud of 2025.
“it’s the Men’s World Championship you fuckin nazi chud !!”
Chanting “WHAT!?” Should be punishable by summary execution.
the only chant more annoying then “BULLSHIT!”
 
With how popular Brody King has become in AEW circles by saying leftist talking points, anyone here wanna see him get the world title put on him just to see what it looks like when a large wrestling promotion has become explicitly political in one particular side?, how would it affect its commercial performance from that point onward?
 
WWE has filed more trademarks for video games, but it seems like they'll be low effort Gacha games, because spin-off games don't seem to be a thing anymore:

As for 2K26, more information has been revealed in the past weeks.

Showcase will be featuring, to no surprise, CM Punk. There is an option to do a 20-man gauntlet match with either Punk or AJ to unlock all of the Showcase items, instead of playing the matches one by one.

Two-tone color hair options, and body morphing from past WWE games has been readded as a "new feature".

5, 6, and 8-man matches have added to MyGM, there's a new Immortal difficulty level, starting budget can now be set up to $7 million, intergender matches that were not in 2K25 are in 2K26, and Autonomous GM, Bobby Heenan, and Stacy Keibler has been added as GMs.

MyRise's Story is called "The Comeback", where your character returns from a 2 year WWE hiatus. The past 2K Game MyRise characters are now unlockables for all game modes and not just MyFaction like last year. And Bron Breakker and Jordynne Grace are the main antagonists of this year's story. Strangely, ROH CM Punk is unlockable in MyRise and not in Showcase mode.

Yes chants were my personal annoyance. I actually enjoyed What chants for a short period and I liked the general idea of Austin being this paranoid lunatic, but it didn't really go anywhere and fans have just latched onto it since.

On the other hand, all those segments where Angle wore a tiny cowboy hat for no reason ever explained were pure gold.

Het, Kurt, we want you to wear this tiny hat. Why? Dunno, doesn't matter.

It was because Austin got Vince (his new best friend!) matching hats...and one for Kurt.

It's similar to the bit with the Rock and the Nation where he got all of them expensive gifts...except for Faarooq, who got a poster of the Rock. Only Kurt didn't get outraged, he took to it because that was his dorky personality.

Fucking love Kurt, and a Bret/Kurt feud is my one of my 'What If?" dream matches.

Angle in the little cowboy hat was gold, for sure.

Wasn't Gorgeous George just a ripoff of Adrian Street? I know that Goldust was inspired by him, but I don't know about GG.



My Personal Top 5 Wrasslers are

HBK

Angle

Taker

Austin

RVD
Explain how a wrestler from the 1950s was influenced by one from the late 70s/early 80s. I could use a good laugh.

I don't believe this, because it came from Bruce Pritchard, and he has also claimed that Tugboat was the original plan for the Iraqi sympathizer for WM7 ("Sheik Tugboat"). I believe both statements were him fucking with Conrad Thompson and his audience, whom Bruce likely has some contempt for ("smart marks").
Daniels mentioned it in one of his interviews. Russo was the one who pitched it from what I remember.

All I want is My Jewish Friend to win and make Hangma'am Madam Page into a shabbos goy for daring to be a snitch. Also fatass will win the ROH title before he'd win the world title. They won't fire Brody King just cause smarks will chant 'Fuck ICE', but I think his stock as a Main Eventer will plummet. Either he'd stay in the midcard and become a Don Callis Family member or he'll be let go and will be remembered as that guy on TV on the convention circuit. Lets be real if the smarks had their way the women's champion will have to face Nyla Rose when they won the title then those who jumped ship to WWE will be shot by firing squad in Daly's Place.

“this is awesome” “You deserve it” and “fight forever” are way worse in my honest opinion.

You're forgetting about the odious "This! Is! Awe! Some!" chant.

How annoying were the "CM PUNK" chants back when he wasn't in WWE?

I just want to see Brody King get the belt and then immediately after he wins it he goes over the top rope to get out of the ring and lands on the top of his head and ends up like droz, or after the match he just has a heart attack and dies in the ring :story:

There's a couple hundred people out there who got to see the Kurt and Owen dark match from 99' less than a month before he died. Supposedly it was recorded on the raw satellite feed but to this day it remains unfounded. Speaking of raw feeds those are some of the most interesting windows into the wrestling world you can see.
 
Did not see that vignette. Now I have to go look it up.
In case you haven't looked it up, or anyone else who is curious:


One thing that I liked about the Vince/Austin dynamic when Austin went heel was that for a time, Vince was always wary around Austin, always wondering if there was going to be another shoe to drop. I don't think it lasted very long, but it was fun seeing him try to tiptoe around Austin, unsure if he was going to piss him off.
 
“this is awesome” “You deserve it” and “fight forever” are way worse in my honest opinion.
I remember the last time I was at raw, you know back when they had tickets you could actually afford, the crowd broke into one of those chants that ended with the clap clap clap clap clap.
I can't remember which one it was but I was standing there with my girlfriend rolling my eyes and I was about to yell something at everybody so I finished up my beer and right as I inhaled to talk trash some teenage kid two seats down for me just went YOU'RE ALL FAGGOTS clap clap clap clap clap.
That shit made me laugh so hard I wish I could've bought him a beer. :lol:
