THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

The only thing I want in wrestling is for someone to randomly say Joe Hendry's name during the Rumble
That does feel like Ricochet was or is working everybody.
Solomonster said that while he'd fit in well with AEW, his style is unique in WWE and in AEW he may not stand out..
I'm wondering if that entered his mind as well.
I'm completely out of the loop with this Joe Hendry guy. What is the big deal about him and why is everyone talking about him?The only thing I want in wrestling is for someone to randomly say Joe Hendry's name during the Rumble
They sure do seem to be doing a lot for a guy who is supposedly on his way out.
I'm still about 50/50 on whether he's leaving or staying.
I did see that Samantha posted a picture of them both together yesterday with ol' Rick looking like nothing is wrong.
If he was staying I'm thinking why would she post that picture and completely kill the storyline and kayfabe?
I explained what a receipt is to a nigga who barely knows anything about pro wrestling and he immediately picked up on the concept and immediately understood why "protecting your opponent" is important.
So in this case, I'm taking the word of a member of the Hart wrestling family who was trained by Stu Hart over a muscled-up former football player who only got the job because he had a great look.
Goldberg should have either
- Pulled the kick better so Bret didn't eat it completely
- Did the kick in a different sequence of moves instead of doing it to Bret as he's coming back off the rope and essentially running into it
Or somebody backstage should have had Goldberg practice the kick on somebody (William Regal comes to mind) and see if he can pull it off without taking somebody out.
She knew what she was doing (and the reaction it would get) when she posted that picture yesterday.
Normally she posts a thirst pic on Wednesdays but she chose to post that old picture instead.
Now I'm a little more convinced that Ric might be staying now.
I agree.
I really don't think he's leaving just off the fact they involved Irvin in the story AND posted about it on social media.
When Edge left, yeah he had his match and moment in Toronto against Seamus but I don't recall WWE making a big story out of it outside of their TV show.
One thought I had is that maybe they're getting married and going on a honeymoon and this is WWE's way of writing them both off TV until they both return.
I didn't even think of that. That would make the best sense. Irvin is in Scotland though, so she isn't being written off TV entirely.
Sidenote, although people for some reason shit on Bully/Bubba Ray but the way he would book this would be perfect.
Man, I love Bully Ray and his honesty on Busted Open. He's got a great mind for the business.
He's even offered to help TK book AEW for free, but of course, TK is too proud/dumb to take him up on his offer.
There's very few guys out there doing podcasts who are openly critical about today's product (maybe just him and Cornette) because they're all low-key angling for a job like a Tommy Dreamer. I can't stand listening to Tommy Dreamer on the show.
I never cared for him as a wrestler or character and he's always blowing everyone on AEW and WWE and how everything is 'great'.
If he had kicked Regal as hard as he kicked Bret.. (Regal: OHH!!
)
Lmao imagine having to compare your wrestling brand of choices numbers to the C show of WWE to feel good about their numbers
to quote Logan Paul's favorite president...sad....

Meh, I don't find it sad at all. One company has been around for 5 years and the other company has been around for 40 plus years. With that head start AEW will NEVER beat WWE in ratings no matter what. WWE is to wrestling what McDonald's is to hamburgers. You can come up with the best burger ever but you're still not going to sell more burgers than McDonald's.
NXT is more comparable to AEW as it hasn't been around as long (2010) as the WWE brand that's why such comparisons are made. It's all relative though as in rhe future all wrestling will probably be moving the streaming anyway where rating comparisons won't matter.
As predicted NXT beat AEW in the ratings. With game 3 of the NBA FInals last night Dynamite dropped all the way to high 600k. It should climb back up next week as the NBA Playoffs will be over.
I read the NBA did 11mill last night. Shessh.

Regal was gone by then? Goldberg failed at talking to Bret after the spot before the spear. A total clusterfuck since Bret lost his brother a year or two before
AEW is going to end up like WCW if they are not careful.
NXT beating AEW was far from being "predictable" as evidenced from Bryan Alvarez's tweet.
Yes, there was NBA Finals, blah blah blah but sooner or later NXT is going to catch up to Dynamite if things don't improve in AEW.
Folks act like the NBA Finals is this hot new program that just started airing this year, lol.
Bottom line is NXT is getting more buzz while AEW remains flat at best.

Cats keep mentioning the NBA Finals as if they never went up against the Finals in previous years....welp. What's so different this year? The damn Celtics/Mavs series hasn't been competitive at all.
Shit is so lame, it looks like two friends doing a dance routine. What happened to selling and investing the audience in what's supposed to feel like a real battle between two people.
This is some 90s power rangers bullshit.
This is why these losers will never draw until they learn to put all this skills to good use, clearly they're athletic and can do a shit ton of moves, but what good is that if it's used for acrobatic spot fest gymnastic routines. Imagine will ospraey if he learned to work at the pace of a Shawn Michaels. He'd be great, instead it's this bogus bullshit.
I guess the real test will be next week's Dynamite when there will be no NBA Finals to compete with and no more excuses.
TK will probably have another "HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT" along with "5-star bangers" for next week's show, lol.
I get there's an audience for this type of "wrestling" (which is now shrinking by the week) but I'm sorry this is not real wrestling.
If I wanna watch guys just do flips for 20+ minutes I'll just go to a Cirque du Soleil show.
Can you imagine going to a Cirque du Soleil show and the acrobats all of a sudden start cutting promos on each other and punching and body slamming each other? That's the same way I feel watching a lot of these "wrestling" matches.
I find it ironic that many cats, some within this very thread, cape so hard for AEW were fans of the old NWA/WCW Bill Watts style of wrestling where matches came across like real fights, only for them to turn around and love this acrobatic stuff.
I just don't get it.
