That's just disheartening. Harper was certainly one of the most athletic big men in the WWE.

They did mention it was airing live on Sunday but I just figured they were doing a live interview or something.

If Ambrose is actually gone for good, the hype they are giving his departure is fucking stupid. It’s going to make them virtually NO more money to keep promoting him and his farewell. All while heavily promoting a guy who is likely on his way to work for another company. What is the upside here?

Imagining Matt Riddle debuting on RAW and Cole going "Riddle me this, Corey!"

OH MYYY!

COULD IT BE?

It's 420 O'Clock somewhere, Corey!

Because "WWE logic, so fuck you" is why. They prob'ly think this is bolstering Reigns in a significant way.

Besides, they could be just as petty and pretend he never existed for the last... wait, when was he feuding with Regal in FCW again? Ten years ago? "The Shield was always a tag team!" Be glad they aren't doing that.

Look at the distance away that fucking idiot was and still managed to make it into the ring. Starts around 4:03

And nobody will miss him but super nerds on message boards.

Why do you look down upon them, Black Widow?

Don't hate her because she's better

She hate's who she is.

John Cena is 'in talks' to join James Gunn's SUICIDE SQUAD but the role is not known yet.

Think John Cena could have made a good Rick Flag, if they didn't already have the other dude....

Isn't Deadshot open since Will Smith walked away? Or did that get filled?

With the way they aren't saying a word about Bryan's injury I have a really bad feeling he got another concussion. Hope I'm wrong.

Also been wondering about that myself. I sure hope that's not it.

Here's a couple of the episodes I was talking about. It's on Deathmatch Wrestling and the other one is on Wrestling in Northern Canadian Indian Reservations. Both are excellent. It's too bad Viceland Canada shutdown. This was an awesome series. I'll see if I can find the ones on the Exoticos in Mexico and Bolivian voodoo wrestling

Only watched their Bolivian indigenous women doc and maybe some of the Exoticos one but knew about their Deathmatch one.

Didn't know they made one about Canada's indigenous wrestlers nor it being an actual series.

i've been following his workouts. He's really been busting his hump.

Viceland Canada shutdown March 30th of last year so we only got the one season.

That's right, the Bolivian one was about the women. There was another one on Voodoo wrestling in the Congo

I'm pretty sure I've never watched anything on viceland since all their shows are about weed in some form or another

Bro

Latter half of Viceland's Montreal Screwjob doc was fantastic.

:lol: at Cornette framing some of the death threats he got from the Screwjob on his wall because he liked the creativity in them.

After watching it, and thinking about it, I agree with Scott Hall the whole thing was a work and everyone was in on it. Vince wouldn't have let any of what aired on tv if he didn't ok it. And in the end he knew the endgame was his Mr McMahon character he could use in future storylines.

The only thing I wish was they had been able to get HBK involved.

does anybody think Vince progressively looks more like Mr. Burns as the years go by?

I'm waiting for his face to complete drop off and he continues as a evil skeleton head leader.

Just wait until he sells another hundred million in stock to fund the Spruce Moose

LOLOLOL

Does that make Kevin Dunn Smithers? Or is that more of a Bruce Prichard thing?

feel like Pat Patterson was Smithers, surely

Easily Kevin Dunn. Pritchard is this guy:

I understand the connection given Pat's sexual orientation and the character he played on t.v. as a stooge. But I always gather Pat was "untouchable." Less of a sycophant and more of someone Vince came to rely on.

lol I realize I'm looking far too deep into this BUT I take my wrestling AND Simpsons analogies v seriously.

So who's Frank Grimes?

gotta be jim cornette

Smithers is Howard Finkel. Bossed around, treated like crap at times, has been completely loyal to Vince forever.

omg too true.

But also, relishes his job despite the abuse. Loyal to Vince/Burns is one thing. But straight up being in love with your job throughout the abuse is what links them together.

Didn't know Becky Lynch's Irish dancing debut NXT match was inducted into wrestlecrap lol

Lol so there's some backyarders wrestling at some 4:20 event in town Saturday and I so want to go.

Why the fuck wouldn’t you want to go? That sounds more entertaining than anything people jumped on a plane and spent hundreds on travel/lodging/tickets for on WrestleMania weekend.

The only reason I wouldn't is because it's about 25 minutes away and I'll be too high to drive

Dark Side of the Ring Bret Hart episode was pretty good... Jim Cornette and Vince Russo are funny in it as bitter enemies

I had no idea of Cornette's involvement in the Montreal Screwjob.

Everybody seems to want to take blame for it. Corny seemed to be the most believable. Russo is a cunt.

The fact he referenced the great Montreal screwjob of 1931 was impressive

He mentioned having a role in it during a shoot interview several years ago but more as a joke and something he didn't think Vince would actually do which is why he was surprised when it actually happened.

Really interesting to find out the finish was Cornette’s.

I remember him bringing that up in his 1997 Timeline video he did for Kayfabe Commentaries.

AWESOME fucking video if you havent seen it

It's Friday, you know what that means...

Yeah I've heard the whole Corny story. I didn't hate the Viceland Screwjob show but it was all rehashed bullshit.

I'm so fucking sick of hearing about the Screwjob more than 2 decades later.

I don't mind hearing about it. I'll never forget it. I was 10... a mega HBK fan, I was so pumped for this rematch of at that time my favorite match the WM 12 Iron Man Match. The hype and buzz around this match was so tense, I was young but I knew there was something raw about all of it. When McMahon said on the pre show when asked by Cole (possibly his debut) who will win the main event and Vince said "I DON'T KNOW".... something was up.

What a great show. The match itself was a disappointment but it was insane and I'll never forget it. Plus there is always the chance it was a work so it's always interesting.

Richochet's moms house burnt down.

Cornette is so fucking underrated by the internet.

He’s mentioned stuff like getting Shamrock to go in there with Bret, and the suggestion of a double-cross, but I think that’s the first time I’ve heard him say that the HBK gets Bret in the Sharpshooter spot was his. For some reason, I had it in my head it was Pat.

Anywhere I can watch the full timelines? Can only see clips on YouTube

I just saw the postmatch interview G.O.D. did after winning at MSG basically shit all over ROH. Way to go.

Good for them. ROH is shit.

Lars Sullivan made another controversial tweet that he then deleted. Nothing too bad, just about the fans being easily triggered, but it's just tasteless, tacky and disrespectful to people with genuine PTSD/anxiety disorders, which Sullivan would, you'd think, be more sensitive to.

Also a bad sign that perhaps he has not grown up from his trolling ways and is going to be a perpetual headache for the company. I really don't expect this guy to last too long before he puts his foot in it big time.

Lana also came out and said that the company never gave her an explanation as to why she should fade out her Russian accent. Man, I can't remember a period of time where so much talent just flat-out talked about how much WWE sucks, and how public they are with their unhappiness within the company.

This reminds me of Benoit, Konnan and Raven talking shit about WCW while they were there, lol. It's pretty surreal.

In a bit of irony, he ended up getting "triggered" after someone took a jab at him for the tweet and blocked that person in retaliation.

Wasn't anything serious or derogatory. Just someone making fun of how his beard looks.

Can't believe Lars is 30. Felt like he was a lot younger with respect to the bodybuilding forum posts.

It’s kind of why I don’t feel sorry for him. Not so much on the anxiety front, but when it comes to the trolling and obvious racism. He was old enough to “know better.”

I think I’ve seen that three-way, but I don’t remember Eddie wearing a singlet. Weird he seemingly went back to one.

Punk has been popping up more and more in regards to commenting on wrestling. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear about him making a return sometime soon. AEW seems like a real possibility given they’re not Vince.

Pretty sure he’s not wearing a singlet in that picture. I think the “strap” is the shadow of Punk’s arm.

Ah, that would make sense.

Yeah, I can clearly see it now, haha. Duck/rabbit.

Is there a WWE dream match? I mean, like, between two members of the available WWE roster?

Lashley vs. Lesnar although that's more of a personal dream match for Lashley since he's pushed the idea a couple of times and was a big reason why he left Impact to return to WWE.

Lashley originally saw Lesnar as a dream opponent for his MMA career but since it wasn't possible due to circumstances, he settled on the idea of doing it as a wrestling match instead.

No. Everyone faces everyone else as quickly as possible and then they try to find enough part-timers for WrestleMania to make it feel “special”. Just gotta hope Hollywood and the UFC can keep creating part-timers that WWE can buy for that second part because they sure as fuck aren’t gonna create them.

I’m actually with you in theory. Lashley didn’t make enough of a name for himself outside of WWE and left that part up to WWE. And now the idea of that match is laughable.

A well-handled Lashley over the past 2 years vs Lesnar would be a fucking great spectacle though.

The way Lashley was presented in his first run, as a bit of a golden goose, felt like they wanted him to replace Lesnar in a sense, which fueled everything there a bit. Plus, the guy's have the same initials, lol. It's not much, but "BROCK LESNAR vs. BOBBY LASHLEY" with those two dudes, in perfect form, on a billboard makes wonderful sense.

I feel for Lashley a bit. He's never been the worker Brock is. His selling and his execution of stuff is a lot more forced and clunky. The guy's a freak of nature though, and when presented in a proper way, there's no reason he can't have the "Wow!" effect on your average fan.

I think the guy is hurt a bit by his physique in context of the modern era. They wanted him to be a babyface, but it looks absolutely ridiculous selling for dudes like Sami Zayn, who he looks like he should be able to pick the bones of. But if he did that, fans would revolt.

It probably would have been smart to bring him in and put him against someone like a John Cena. The fans wouldn't mind Lashley destroying Cena and would probably cheer it. Put him against heels like Orton, Wyatt, Harper and maybe have him squash Miz a few times. The fans wouldn't spit him out then. But then you've got to ask what the point of coddling a guy so much in 2018/2019 is. It's a lot of effort to just get to one match, and then you're left with the question of "what next?"
