Pro Wrestling! (For Everything WWE, Impact, Indies, AEW, & Japan !) 2021

You got to me to watch my first Haystacks match, I found Calhoun vs Buddy Rogers on Youtube from 1961. In fact it's the first time I've watched any 50s/60s matches. Also watched Gorgeous George vs Hans Schnabel. It's amazing how Buddy and George are such precursors to Ric Flair in so many ways.

My grandma LOVED Gorgeous George! I think she would've left my grandpa for him.

So Lacey Evans came back , dressed as a female version of Sgt. Slaughter to play up her past. But its not the idea of the gimmick of her past...its the various gimmicks she has had that makes it funny. They should have Lacey become a version of Mick Foley. That she has multiple personalities and shifts to each one at times.

That wouldn't work for her. All of Foley's gimmicks got over. Lacey is still trying to find something that works. That woman has seen more repackages than an Amazon return facility

George almost seems underrated. Apparently he was only viewed as an average wrestler/grappler, and I'm no expert on grapplers of that time, but watching George, he moves with a speed and sells really well, dramatically. Like an HBK of his time. More modern in-ring as well with the entertainment aspects.

Did she ever have Ric Flairs baby? lol. At this point she has to be getting close to being future endeavored.

Why? How many more exwrestlers and their families does she need to piss off?

I loved it when the Giant went out there with a new GImmick each week. Funny as hell.

Run ins of the year...

CM Punk return promo...."I have a lot to get off my chest. ."

[BigLbo]

I think he's at least entertaining nothing great but OK in the ring with some work he can at least be a good heel.

to be fair that kind of sounds like mediocrity. if he needs some work to at least be a good heel i wouldn't put the main title on him yet.

CM Punk return promo...."I have a lot to get off my chest. ."

ewwwwwww.

i really don't understand why he even wants to come back. just ego i guess.

Love of the business. Because he has millions of dollars , he's got TV roles and he could with his mic skills do a podcast and all. If he didn't want to do this beyond loving it...then he could walk. But its said he wants to work with Samoa Joe and Jay White. So he's gonna work on elevating guys like he did with MJF who he likes. (A fact MJF has said his feud with Punk was the best program done) .

Stevie Richards in his shoot detailed just how smart he was in WWE.


- Richards is asked about toys and video game money. As Richards put it ...in the early days of video games ..guys made some good money off them. Those were good. (Sabu has said he was paid good in 2000s for a video game)


- He had like 7-8 action figures from Jakks. So while there he met a guy named Pete. Some of the guys would treat Pete like he was crap and he was a nobody. But Stevie treated him nice and hung out with him. So Pete tells Stevie..."how many outfits do you have ? Get a few...send me pics of the front and back fully in each one."

Stevie claims he would get figures then during his time of Stevie Night Heat when he wasn't getting pushed serious. And those helped a lot. And he still talks to Pete even now.

for somebody who loves the business so much he sure seems miserable whenever he's involved in it.

i still think it's just an ego thing. regardless i blame tk.

Yeah, he and his brother started a Chicago independent promotion in the mid/late 90s, so I can see how he feels his life is so tied to wrestling.
