The Wrestling Thread

Oh, I don’t have a problem with 205 specifically, it’s just that with RAW, SD Live, NXT, 205 and the fact that every PPV will now be at least 4 hours (that’s not including the pre show), there’s waaaaaay too much product coming out of WWE to even attempt to watch it all. Not to mention the fact that the quality is diminished as a result. Are there actually people out there who watch all of this weekly?

....well, I admit I watch everything WWE-related. Even WWE Main Event, that low-card show where the jobbers and mid-carders wrestle. I think the only WWE thing I DON'T watch are the pre-shows on PPV's. Sometimes, it's a waste of time, but I can't complain too much since I have nothing else to do lmao.

I do, and I work about 60 hours a week, so I dont have a ton of free time haha

I wish I liked wrestling as much as you guys.

The Golden Elite is here. And someone is cutting onions.

Here's a promo I just cut on a fool in a wrestling Discord. Here's a promo that should warn you fuckers.

My predictions are set in stone. The gauntlet is laid down. Fuck it, I'll even post them RIGHT HERE. You wanna try and prove yourself? Well, guess what? First step is through the Rhythm Reaper himself.

I am the gatekeeper of this place. I have NEVER had a bad showing from Wrestle Kingdom 12 up until now. I have been VERY close to taking titles. I was 7/9 at Dominion where the winner was 8/9 and I HAD A BETTER TIEBREAKER.

I don't care if I'm hobbling in there on one foot. I'm going to do whatever I have to to ensure I leave this PPV as champion. Come Sunday, you'll find out why they call me The Detonator.

Hint: It's because punks like you get blown the fuck up.

(this is all kayfabe i'm sorry)
