  1. General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

    hi
  2. Are you or have you ever been a total mark for any wrestler?

    Nowadays with the internet and also through the natural progression of professional wrestling it seems to me like kayfabe has become a lost art and there are less 'larger than life' personas. Are there any wrestlers you admire or respect so much that you can completely immerse yourself in their...
  3. Goldberg Details Timeframe For When Final WWE Match Will Take Place.

    As a kid I loved Goldberg! I was first introduced to him playing a WCW game as a kid and then I later caught the end of his first WWE run when he appeared on RAW and then when he feuded with Brock Lesnar despite them wrestling in different brands. I have mixed feelings about seeing him and other...
  4. Hurt and Heal: Wrestlers Edition

    This is a game I've seen on many forums back in the day, and I thought it would be fun to see in a wrestling forum too. The rules are quite simple. We start with a list or 'roster' of wrestlers and they each have about 10 life points. With each new post a person must heal a wrestler by 1, and...
  5. Best Wrestling Movie

    It's hard to beat The Wrestler. That move is just vicious on another level.
  6. The Return of Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

    Some wrestling moves just suck and shouldn't be used very often. One example that comes to my mind is the irish whip over or through the ropes. That move is obviously so phony looking because anyone should know you can't hurl a guy with the force of superman while defying the laws of gravity by...
  7. Dark Side of the Ring

    I love dark side of the ring. I really do. I've always been big on both documentaries and wrestling, and will gladly gobble down any wrestling documentary that isn't 4 hours long. With that said, I can't help but get the impression that some episodes are essentially glorified hit pieces that...
  8. Favorite wrestling styles? (Slow-Paced Psychology vs Spotfests etc.)

    If this is in the wrong section please move it for me! I'm new and I apologize for that - wasn't quite sure where to put it. I've thought about this a lot because some indie shows are known for promoting varying wrestling styles which ranges from promotion to even region, while the style that...
  9. Rhea Ripley on Impaulsive

    I liked the part where she elaborated on the Maxxine Dupri situation. She knows what it feels like to be a newcommer with a love of the sport with a drive to prove everyone wrong. But even just a small group of people insulting your work can still feel incredibly hurtful. Let's say you're a...
  10. Note on Plans For Blood Use In WWE Going Forward

    I'm pretty sure most wrestling fans are at the least bit ok with it when it's used at the right time, especially when used sparringly during matches to end high profile fueds involving top stars while obviously there's a small subset of wrestling fans are more squirmish and sensitive to it. I'm...
  11. A question about Mercedes Moné, Okada, Ospreay etc

    Well, AEW's ratings have gone down some more. Some people have already pointed out that it doesn't matter much. The show will be fine. Tony Khan is in the unique position where he can easily run the show at a loss. I feel like when he brings in these big names he's doing so as a fan more...
  12. Note on Plans For Blood Use In WWE Going Forward

    Top stars should be able to get a way with a little more, at least according to Jim Cornette. I don't know. I'd say WWE should ask fans what they want more. I think segments like that with blood can easily get over and hype most fueds.
  13. A question about Mercedes Moné, Okada, Ospreay etc

    Hey guys, new member here. Recently returning wrestling fan and I wanted to ask you guys questions. So in AEW recently Mercedes Mone (Ex WWE), Okada (Ex NJPW) and Will Ospreay (Ex NJPW) have all been signed to AEW. Mercedes Mone is best known of course for being Sasha Banks, a home grown WWE...
