The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[captain red dog]

This week's Review-A-Wai has to be one of my favs, the tangent with Nancy Kerrigan

Oh boy, can't wait for this. I'll probably save it for work tomorrow.

Yeah it's good. I do like their reviews of WCW at the time the old WWF stars started coming over. It was such an odd period in wrestling and there were some bizarre things WCW did, like how they renamed Brutus!

Edit: Glad the BFG series is back, with a few improvements. I really liked it past year despite the flaws as it built up BFG and the title match as massively important.

Joseph Park interview http://www.f4wonline.com/component/cont ... -tons-more

Scoop of the decade.

TNA in conjunction with the Wrestling Observer furthering an on-screen storyline, with someone who's been more critical of TNA than anyone. Bizarre-o world.

Jeffrey, take a bow son. You've outdone yourself.



Incredible work.

I cannot believe Joe Park Esq referenced Bryan Alvarez's "Gold Boat" rant...

[E-Man]

Just finished watching Impact, Slammiversary and Raw (hard to squeze it all in with the Euros on).

The TNA events were pretty good. The X division and tag title matches at the PPV were excellent.

Although an improvement on recent weeks sections of Raw tended to drag on far longer than they should have. They need to sort this out before they go 3 hours permanently.

Or they could just put AJ on screen for an hour.

Anyone find the. Punk promo on raw ... Well...totally ridiculous? He the biggest sell out going

Tells Bryan he isn't in his leauge and then gets rightly booed for it.
To make it worse he said it after Bryan delivered one of his best Promos yet.
"Once you go Bryan theres no point in tryin."

Holy gooseberry fool Can't wait to listen.

And yeah, it's funny how Alvarez has done a complete turnaround on TNA.

[Jam-Master Jay]

IF Orton is fired,it would be HUGE for TNA if they could get him!

1.2 rating.

I know theyve gotten other former WWE guys in before and that didnt change gooseberry fool,I thaught Hardy would but TNA being TNA fudged that up,but Orton is a Proper big name and has a good fanbase,if it was done right it could be huge.Saying that I really dont see WWE letting him go.

Haven't read any post past this. But Jeff Hardy was much bigger in the WWE than Orton currently is.

The thing to work in Orton's favour is that he's still young and if built up in TNA he could increase ratings. Then again, he is injury prone and the last thing TNA need is another heavyweight stinking things up.

Who is this guy in the ring with Bully Ray? Is it Abyss? Or Penn/Teller?

It's Joseph Park, Abyss' brother.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Who is this guy in the ring with Bully Ray? Is it Abyss? Or Penn/Teller?

Abyss, as his brother. Does look a lot like Penn it must be said, especially noticeable after Penn was on Impact recently.

[Mafro]

Jay spoiling the act

[Jam-Master Jay]

I thought it was obvious.

Still, it is his 'brother'.

[Mafro]

I thought it was obvious.

Still, it is his 'brother'.

It wasn't obvious to me when I first saw him on Impact

[Jam-Master Jay]

I suppose it helped that I'd seen pics of him unmasked on certain dirtsheets.

Still, didn't think so sorry if I spoiled anything.

[Mafro]

I only found out when someone here mentioned it. It's probably the best angle today, so much better than anything in WWE.

Missed Slammiversay

Would any kind soul be able to PM me a link?
