Rumor going around the net is that WWE might be releasing Lio Rush very soon.

Rush recently removed WWE references from his social media accounts and added a business email for potential outside bookings.

Wow! I am surprised he made it so far after that Emma tweet.

Yeah, I would have terminated his contract after that piledriver through off a ladder through a table he no sold like it was nothing.

He can play the victim but he knows there were reasons he never got respect: he never showed it.

God. Do you think you're a worker? Shut the fuck up.

WWE leaving Sky Sports in the UK, where they have aired for 30 years, for channel named BT Sports

@ UK tpww people is this good or bad??


https://www.telegraph.co.uk/wrestlin...ding-bt-sport/

^^^

Sounds like from the Twitter-verse this might be bad via not as many people in the UK having BT Sports as do Sky Sports and it apparently being extra $$$ to get.

No definitely not a good thing.
I can't name one person who has BT Sports, maybe local pubs for footy but I dunno.

Wonder if sky ditched it or they got outbid, considering the product lately it wouldn't shock me if they shit canned it.

Sounds like Alexa could be done. Got pulled from MITB due to a concussion which is just the latest in a series of concussions this year.

I read Sky was paying WWE a ton of money but RAW gets under 100k viewers in the UK now...RAW after WM in the UK did 58,000 viewers

More like CUNTcussions, am I right?

God fucking damn it Slik, you've ruined everything.

Slik is Destor in 2019

People thinking Ric Flair was dying is the first time since WrestleMania that WWE has trended worldwide on Twitter.

Chad Gable debuts new look on European tour


https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Q0ES...d70f618d9e.jpg

Remember when Gable was “drafted” to SmackDown, and Buddy Murphy, and a bunch of other guys who moved but haven’t been used?

I don't think Aleister Black has wrestled since being sent to SD...just keeps cutting video promos...he was so over too...

Git r done

Yeah the Wendi Richter side of that story was just nonsense. She saw Moolah at the arena then doesn't know why Spider Lady is suddenly lumpy as shit.

She was just keeping kayfabe but I have no idea why when she said "The bitch is dead! Okay?!" when denying ever having seen the match afterwards.

It was a fruity show. This and the Gino episode were fairly boring and the Savage episode didn't tell me anything new or anything old in an entertaining way. I much preferred Montreal, Brody and the Von Erichs episodes.

The Brody one told a lot, I knew the outline of the story and the basic details but hearing it fleshed out was macabre in all the right ways.

I hope they do a run of these because there are so many stories people need to know more about.

I'd like to see a Jim Herd episode. The sincerity of the hatred for that man always produces soundbite gold. I'd like to see an episode on Ole Anderson and the sugar hold/his insane greenhorn tryouts with Gene. Ole brags about it in his book and goes into sadistic detail. It's fucked up :lol: Al Snow shoots on it on YT.
Dynamite Kid, Chris Adams, Buck Zumhoff all would make for crazy episodes.

If they make more Owen Hart, Steroid Trials, Sexual Harassment litigation will probably be top topics.

I like the look for Gable, but I doubt it means he's going to get pushed. The guy is freakin' amazing and has that Olympic background. It'd make sense to use him, but it hasn't stopped WWE for almost three years now.

Shame about Alexa. No one needs their brain rattled around in their head. That being said, she wasn't very good and I won't miss her. No doubt she will be kept around as an on-screen character forever and a day, even though her talking is overrated as hell.

Seth Gable?

The vest doesn't really look like it goes with the gear, lol. Oh well, I still like him being put through some sort of presentation machine.

I honestly forgot all about Buddy Murphy being drafted to Smackdown until just now.

Vastardikai'd
 

I love Black, but he does not need to talk to get over initially.... he needs to hit that awesome kick on the entire roster while saying very little....

Wonder who will take Alexa's place in MITB match

Nikki Cross

Remember Ashley managing Brian Kendrick and Paul London on Smackdown when they had that long WWE (RAW) Tag Team title run.

They'd better be careful with that music: they'll get a cease and desist like Soutpaw Regional did!

I don't know what it is about this particular pic, but I instantly thought of Super Crazy.

She is a bitch, but not in the usual "Mean Girl" sense we usually get bitches in WWE. I mean, she comes off as someone you legitimately want to dislike, and I love her for it.

needs to do "lass cream"

I honestly wish Lacey was in the MITB and won it instead of getting the title match like she did

its the hair

http://ecw2035.tripod.com/sitebuilde...uper_crazy.jpg

Kinda, but the vest adds to that. Also, his expression:

Holy shit, Baron Corbin looks awful.

It's hard to not look like a mong wrestling in a shirt.

Dude isn't even out of shape - Vince just for whatever reason decided that he didn't like how he looked shirtless and that was that.

It was his weird belly-button. He’s obviously athletic, but he doesn’t look particularly impressive.

He appears to be shorter and skinnier than most male superstar's of today, which is actually kinda refreshing. I think allowing him to have just the slightest amount of hair and decent attire and he'd be more accepted by fans. Maybe he would even be an occasional US title picture guy.

He's 6'6"

Finding myself not enjoying Grilling JR so far. I don't know why. JR seems to go off on tangents that aren't really related to the topic. I actually think it's overtaken 83 Weeks as my least favorite Conrad podcast so far.

Though listening to Conrad try to do the anti-drunk driving ad and constantly being interrupted by 2 minute JR stories before having to steer the conversation back to the ad this week was hilarious.

Yeah, this is a very necessary correction. Dude's way taller than most of the male superstars. By like half a foot. What are you smoking, DAMN?

Surprised wwe dont bill him as 7 feet.

Corbin should go away for a while, eat a fucking ton and lift like no tomorrow. He wouldn't look so bad with some mass on his frame

"He's not very big, but he makes the big guys around him look smaller."

I think that is how Cornette described Dan Spivey. I feel like it applies to Corbin, as well.

It shows how much NFL offensive linemen eat - the body transformation linemen go through after their playing career is over is crazy...Corbin included.

KO wears a shirt all the time cause he's fat no one cares

Corbin somehow looks more blander than before.

If he grew a beard and swapped out his merch shirt for a rock/metal band shirt, he could easily apply to become the newest member of Bryan's Evil Captain Planet team.

He can be ‘Heart’ then cos no one wanted to be him.

Barely made sense to hold house shows on the same day as RAW and Smackdown but WWE is now starting to feel the real effect of Vince's dumb Wild Card rule he made up on the spot.

Smackdown hose show planned for Monday got canceled because of the new rule and likely because they still don't know who will be picked for the surprise appearances. Also probably realize its not a smart idea to keep doing false advertisements for your shows.

Velveteen Dream could be such a star. Ohno is so good in the ring.

I've never seen those two people in my life.
They look like they sell those outfits off a single rail at an outdoor flea market.

The Ohno look a like is Billy Ray Cyrus

Rap names have gotten out of hand...

When a 60 year old country musician can do more than a passable impression of a pro wrestler I think the wrestler should have a think about his life and the direction in which it is going.

Was about to say, damn minoru suzuki lookin THICC

I thought the first week's topic was their strongest but it sounded like they were recording in a wind tunnel.

Audio quality was better for week two but wasn't a topic I really cared about and plus JR...

WASN'T

EVEN

FUCKING

THERE.

Haven't listened to this weeks yet. It's going on the backburner close to deleting the suscription at this point.

He gets too much heat from the audience for him to go away. He doesn't even have to open his mouth, gets booed and does a snarky smile and gets more boos. Then he talks and gets booed more.

Xpac heat? Maybe but sometimes heat is heat.

Watching a 1995 WCW PPV and Bobby Heenan throws away a great line about a kid holding a Heenan For President sign.

"That man is the mayor".

The match is Pillman vs B Badd and it's surprisingly tolerable on the Mero end of things.

Johnny B Badd got really good by the time he left WCW

It's good fun and the crowd is really into it.
Lots of good sized pops and a few false finishes.

Pillman just kicked out of a powerbomb... in 1995..
B Badd kicks from a Tombstone straight after.

Johnny B Badd's finish was a punch... if this ends with a punch I will be baffled.

You can tell from his matches with Sable

This is getting stupid with false finishes. This is a 30 minute long opening match in a PPV that ends in Hulkamaniacs Vs Dungeon Of Doom...

The next match is Cobra vs Sgt Pittman... I have no idea who they are but their dots are very close together on the time-bar. Actually now the dots on the time bar look more like a trail of ants.

Disproportionate facial features down to the last man...

Mr Wonderful questioning if he is still wonderful in the locker room when a guy with a gigantic silvery white perm wig comes in dressed all in fluffy white and gives him a pep talk. Gary Spivey from the psychic network.

Now Paul Orndorff is kissing himself in the mirror...

What the fuck is this?!

Arn v Flair is superb. For the first ten minutes or so the highest spot is a hammer lock slam. It's great. Flair shouts "HEY!" out of frustration at one point and it's funny, classic and totally in the storyline. WCW shows are the best thing on the network. I can't get enough of it. Between the goofy nonsense you get 30 minute sessions of pure gold from people who think it's their whole responsibility to cover the value of the entrance fee because the main event is so bad.

If anyone ever needed to know why Flair fans are so die hard and everyone thought Arm was so underrated... watch this entire PPV and look at the ratio of watchable to unwatchable content. One good hour in a three hour event and the good hour comes from two matches out of six. That's a fucking PPV...

Arn Anderson intro theme pretty freakin sweet

Dunno if I can sit through this main event after seeing Arn/Flair... The Dungeon Of Doom roll call is something to behold.

According to PWI, Scarlett Bordeaux recently asked for her release from Impact Wrestling. Her original contract expires at the end of this summer but wants out early and may or may not be due to pay issues similar to Kross' release request.

Making things worse is Jordynne Grace might be leaving soon as well since it seems reports of her signing a 2-year deal were actually false and she's been working on a per date basis according to PWI. There is a recent rumor going around that she recently signed a contract with AEW but AEW is holding off on making the announcement official until a later date.

Oh oh guys.......it's May 19th.

KNASH SIXX ROTUNDA. Are you kidding me!?

That kid's gonna get ripped apart in school. :nono:

That is effectively child abuse.

Talk about being nWo 4 life

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Another #POTY contender

At least they didn’t slip Vincent in there. I wonder if Bo will have a kid named Norton Inferno Rotunda?

Good on Scarlett for asking out of TNA. Got no clue who Jordynne Grace is.

A Google search tells me her real name is Patricia Parker. That’s a better ring name than “Jordynne Grace.”

YouTube keeps suggesting that to me but when I saw Saggy Gibson and Wrinkly Morton I felt too sad to click it.

.... Maybe Jojo should have chosen the name.

Instead of Rotunda his last name should be VKWallstreet
