All-Purpose News Thread Part II

[MadDevil]

Nothing really new in the doc, but it was probably made for the more casual or non wrestling fans who aren't familiar with all the stuff around Vince.

Pritchard is every bit the kiss ass he's accused of being, although if it's for the reason he basically stated it was at the end, I at least understand his loyalty. I may not agree with it, but I understand it.

 

[DoyleG]

yeah, wasn't Mushnick one to celebrate wrestlers deaths?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Really speaks volumes how hated Mushnick was when Vince would willingly let one of his employees evoke, and then defend other promotions like WCW just because this guy was that big of an asshole.

Goes from angry to straight Nuclear once he starts talking about Pillman too.

 

[Sheppy]

Only one episode is out so far on Netflix and he wasn't shown much on it.

All episodes are out.

So you're too poor/cheap for even the 1080p Netflix sub? Not giving anything to "the man"?

Why are you so weird?

 

[sabremike]

Vince had Pillman's widow do a live interview on Raw the night after he died as a ratings ploy. If anyone "exploited" his death it was Vince and WWF.

Literally the exact opposite: the staggering number of deaths outraged him and he was one of the few people in the media who actually gave a shit instead of not caring about wrestlers dropping dead because "it's fake" like they weren't actual human beings.

 

[Jussi]

All episodes are out.

Yeah, it's showing them now, for some reason it didn't offer the next episode when the credits began rolling.

 

[BostonBob]

Looks like we will " see him " this Sunday night.

Ahh, I never heard anything more than the Vince/Wrestling side of the story, so obviously I only heard the version they wanted out, it seemed like the feelings within the wrestling business on him were pretty much unanimously negative

That's Meltzer lolol

 

[Scandale du Jour]

That's Meltzer lolol

It does look more like Meltzer than Cena, indeed

 

[GKJ]

That's Meltzer lolol

Could be Vince too

[DoyleG]

Vince would be proud.

 

[Sheppy]

They’ll reach an agreement I think. Lucha Bros will put people over and then Tony will shave off some months.

Well Ray will. It sounds like Penta is out of contract or just about to be out.

I feel like Tony will work something out and let him out early.

 

[TheShape]

Hmm not quite the Vince hit piece some were expecting. This clearly was never going to be a burial, as myself and a few others said beforehand. It's interesting to hear so much from the horse's mouth though, but there's nothing new in here. It's about what I expected, enjoying it nonetheless.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It definitely doesn't make him look good 4 episodes in.

Enjoying it so far. A lot of stuff we already know but hearing him talk about it is interesting

 

[GKJ]

Dump cashing in on the Netflix series, set to be at Stardom’s Nagoya show on Saturday in a match teaming with H.A.T.E. against EXV in a 12-woman tag

Nobody ever stays retired.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

If we use 2024's standards to question 1998's decisions, there's a lot more to question WWE about... Or entertainment in general.

[yahhockey]

It's a little funny but it's also strange that one image is a fake Tony Khan twitter account and the other is presumably a fake message with fake interaction metrics on Shawn Miachaels' real account.

Wrestling fans deserve the reputation we get unfortunately

Since it's a kayfabe list, feel like Roxy being outside of the top 10 is off.
