All-Purpose News Thread Part II

Yeah she shouldn’t be breathing free air. If this was in America she’d have been jailed and probably for a decent amount of time (not days)


She ABSOLUTELY should have been blackballed. I don’t know why anybody else would work with her ever again.


Just read more on her AND SHES BACK IN STARDOM. What a shitty promotion I’ll now never give the time of day.

I actually wish I didn't watch that. Disgusting for that be allowed and for the butch girl(Yoshiko, sp) to get hired by other companies. For anyone who didn't watch it, she beat up the other female wrestler(Act?) so bad she had to have major facial surgeries, lost 70% of her vision and had to retire. They didn't like each other because Yoshiko thought Act got to where she was through her looks and was supposed to drop her title to her. Granted it looked like Act threw the first closed fist but Yoshiko went way overboard.

I've never really watched Stardom but it's obviously a joke organization even if the wrestlers are great. Then again, New Japan(and the police) allowed Kensuke Sasaki to go unpunished for killing a student during training so maybe it's just a Japan thing.

This match was almost 8 years ago, not sure why it’s surfacing now.

Ibushi officially is a free agent. Already has dates booked with GCW, Bloodsport and Janelas Spring Break. I would imagine it is when not if he shows up in AEW. Question is whether he just stays a free agent or signs on with AEW. Reports are he wants to wrestle everywhere(other then New Japan lol).

Howard Finkel's "And now a poem by the Genius" will forever be etched into my brain. The Genius is one of the most underrated gimmicks from that era and Lanny played the role perfectly.

RIP Mr. Poffo

Leapin' Lenny! Had me in stiches. His match against Hogan on Saturday's Night Main Event is the best.

Edit: Found it

 

[Mightygoose]

RIP to the Genius. A very underated heel manager in my view and made good transition from face jobber to a memorable heel.

Rest in peace with Randy

 

[BostonBob]

Without looking it up - here's a couple of fairly easy trivia questions:

- name the 2 men that managed Curt Hennig in the WWF before The Genius ????

- who else did The Genius manage in the WWF ????

 

[EpochLink]

Leapin Lanny and the Macho Man are sure gonna make a great tag team up there.

Rest well, Lanny.

RIP Genius.

Lanny Poffo dead at 68 - Slam Wrestling

Details are coming in about the sudden passing of Lanny Poffo. He was 68. Hacksaw Jim Duggan shared the news on Twitter: "With a very, very heavy heart, I've been asked to let everyone know about the passing of our friend and colleague Lanny Poffo, The Genius." To wrestling fans who saw him in the

Lanny was probably one of the few wrestlers in the late-80s WWF who refused to use any type of steroids. A very underrated wrestler. Rob Van Dam has said that a lot of his aerial moves were inspired by watching Lanny.

RIP Lanny.

 

[Sheppy]

Poffo not only was an innovator, he voice alone could tell 1000 stories.

Sad day. Didn’t know he was ill.

I wouldn't mind this,but only if Walter goes over

I am not big on that match unless Sheamus and Drew have a falling out. It would be like the Rumble where they work together and it would be more of a 2 on 1 type of match. With big hosses like them that is too much of an obstacle to overcome for Gunther. I want Gunther to win.

That's what I thought when I first saw the report.

If it's triple threat. And based on rumble...what kind of bs will happen to help Gunther who should win.

Or will they just flip Sheamus to heel again. But I hate the quick changes

 

[GKJ]

I don’t think Triple H will do what everyone is used to, which is put two people together so one of them can turn.

But it feels like if someone is gonna go heel, it would be Drew

 

[TD Charlie]

Huge miss to not have Gunther v Lesnar for the IC title. 1 on 1, no stipulations or extra gimmicks, and make it a competitive match. Lesnar can even win it clean and it won't hurt Gunther whatsoever, especially since they'll pull the usual 50/50 shit at Summerslam anyway.

 

[Megahab]

I'd like to see McIntyre and Sheamus a s a regular tag team for a while. At this point, they'd be my choice to beat the Usos, if not KO/Zayn.

100% on board for a McIntyre Sheamus ass kicking tag team.
