    Is Wrestling in a "Boom" right now?

    It's as close to a boom as we can get right now without another promotion getting a major TV slot. Because we have not had this many wrestlers doing wrestling as a full time job in ages, in or outside of WWE

    Neville's Status? [FREEDOM 8/24]

    I'd say it will differ from talent to talent. WWE recruits a lot of talent, some of them big names, some of them not as big. And for those smaller talents it is a given. They get to make money wrestling full time and even if they get cut their post-WWE status will allow them bigger bookings than...

    Neville's Status? [FREEDOM 8/24]

    Yeah. The name is a WWE creation. In his pre-WWE career he was indeed PAC. And for a short while Jungle PAC. Will be interesting to see where he goes

    Are the Shield Heel?

    They attacked the most over man on the roster to prevent him from becoming champion. yeah, that's a heel move

    Name some wrestlers you would've like to seen or see in WWE and in what era.

    I would have liked the fed to have actually made things work with the Great Sasuke back in the 90s instead of what happened. Or they could have brought in Onita to work a deathmatch with Foley back in the day.

    Former Favorite WWE Wrestlers

    I used to think Dolph Ziggler was good at wrestling, selling in particular. I'll put it down as me being young and stupid. He knows how to wrestle but his matches are just dull and don't connect with me these days

    How often do you watch WWE shows?

    TBH at this point I am more interested in their documentaries and such than the actual wrestling. And they have some mighty fine documentaries to their name

    New Japan Pro-Wrestling General Discussion Thread

    Tanahashi winning was the right call IMO. He still has a connection with the fanbase that Omega and Okada can honestly just dream about. Both of those guys are beloved but Tanahashi is BELOVED. This is obviously being done to put over Kenny at the dome but if they really wanted to do something...

    WWE Tweets

    What we should be talking about is John Cena's Instagram. The differences in his social media platforms has to be a social experiment of some kind

    Dave is fat shaming... PEYTON!?

    Dave is a very socially awkward human being so he probably did not realize that what he said could be perceived as hurtful even if he did not mean it. This obviously does not justify his comments or give him a free card. And to Dave's credit he seems genuinely upset that he said something that...

    Neville's Status? [FREEDOM 8/24]

    A tricky factor here is how his contract is constructed. If he has to fulfill X amount of dates before he can be released WWE can basically keep him on the shelf forever. They held up Rey Mysterio for 2 or so years before finally agreeing to a release. Fairly certain Neville is back home in...

    Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart Passes Away

    RIP Jim. Fans give Bret Hart a lot of flack for being a surly, bitter old man but he is probably one of the unluckiest wrestlers when it comes to losing friends and family members. Only one I can think of that has had it rougher in that regard is Kevin von Erich because he had all his brothers...

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    The big AJPW show in Osaka just ended. It was a bit of a clunky show that ended on a strong note. It started with some tech issues which meant that the opener had virtually no video and the start of the second match was also lost but they got video back quick enough and it was flawless for the...

    Can someone explain this to me?

    If anyone is interested in giving DDT a try but are put off by the language barrier they do post slightly older shows (late 2017-early 2018) with English commentary on youtube in batches from time to time

    Can someone explain this to me?

    The company that match is from is called DDT. They use a lot of comedy (mainly slapstick) to stand out. Yoshihiko (the blow up doll) is treated like a real wrestler during matches and is a cult figure within the company. It is very tongue in cheek. It's the Japanese equivalent of WWE's sports...

    So Hiromu has a broken neck after the botched phoenix plex. He was able to finish the match and walk to the back collapsed backstage. He is currently receiving treatment and is in a stable condition but there has yet to be any news on how long he is expected to be out. It obviously sucks but...

    They were in the process of successfully elevating him to heavyweight but he has been unable to wrestle since February sadly due to a couple of rather serious injuries. Hopefully he is back by the end of the year.
