All-Purpose News Thread Part II

Quinn MacKay was a fun and unique personality and look on ROH. I’m sure they’ll beat that out of her.

I didn't see she signed with WWE? Was really hoping to see her with AEW. That sucks.

Check out post #564 in this thread - she's now going by Kelly Kinkaid.

"This company that took my booking power sucks! I'm going to the other guy who will give me even less booking power"

He'll get the welcome back push, maybe a token title run and then be right back where he was before he left in 2016 within 6 months.

Is Cody Rhodes just Jeff Jarrett 2.0? Dude's bordering on delusional in terms of how he views himself value wise.

Like he's not bad and he was a major part of getting AEW off the ground, but come on my guy...you're the textbook deinfiniton of "he's okay" in the wrestling business.

I think he is more of a star than Jarrett ever was, but yeah, the pattern is similar.

Stardom have been hyping up a mystery woman arriving for a few weeks now and tomorrow they're holding a press conference to reveal who it is, everyone into Joshi thinks this is going to be Kairi Sane making her return.

It was.

I wonder if Vince can work his magic and talk the Hulkster into one more match. Hogan/Austin would be box office. 100k+ easily.

Check your calendar NBT - it's 2022 not 2002.

 

[TD Charlie]

It was.

Can’t fake that happiness. Good on her for sticking to what she loves

Ok maybe Hogan/Austin is a little far fetched. But what about Austin/Goldberg? Would do HUGE business even today.

Goldberg is too clumsy for somebody with Austin's physical limitations.....hell Goldberg is pretty much too dangerous for anybody to be in the ring with.

 

[ShelbyZ]

At this point, the best you could probably do with Austin vs. Goldberg would be:

-A 5 minute pre-match video about their importance to the Monday night wars and how the match is like 25 years overdue and blah blah
-10 minutes of entrances
-1 minute of face to face stare down
-bell rings
-immediate spear
-side step by Austin
-stunner
-1-2-3
-beer

And I'd be fine with it.

20 minutes of spot after spot after spot. I watched the majority of that one in disbelief.

I've got no complaints. I may have went with Danielson vs. Page time limit draw, but there's about 20 matches that have valid claim.

lmao at Uncle Dave's awards show. Someone please explain to me how Punk is the biggest box office. He popped one rating and then didn't really do anything special. Roman headlined multiple stadium shows, is the guy on the most watched pro wrestling tv show, and his company had the biggest profits in the history of the industry. But I guess Punk sold a few tshirts lol.

 

[GKJ]

You read an awful lot in a short amount of time for someone who doesn’t watch either company nor reads wrestling media just to get mad about things people voted for.

How do you decide which username to post with? Is it random or is there a thought process behind you posting this under @NextBigThing and not @The Burdened ?

Thanks for letting us know they’re the same person.

Young Bucks are awful as characters. Them being the top tag team every year is kind of a joke, IMO.

As long as their ring work is A+, they’ll stay there.

PPV match are generally pretty good. Their Dynamite matches are boring to me.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Lost in all this is Bryan Danielson winning the Bryan Danielson award for best technical wrestler.

I get that it was named after he "retired" but i can't help but laugh and think of that stupid meme of Obama awarding himself the Nobel Prize.
