The latest BTE shows Cole asking how big he looks lol. I love how the whole Elite can take a negative and make it fun. This is what is great about wrestling atm.

Probably started with Ultimate Warrior and The Road Warriors, tbh. I mean there's no selling when it's part of your gimmick (Hulking Up, Taker, Samoans with hard heads) and there's just ignoring the move. But then Cena was "stabbed" at one point in his career and got back in the ring weeks later without even a bandage, so maybe he's just Wolverine. |

Balor never recovered from that injury which sucks.
Rumbles always been my favourite PPV so I'll be staying up Saturday to watch it.
It's not going to happen but I would love to see another AJ run.

Seems like they’ve moved AJ into a vet getting newbies over position - and lets face it they’d be learning from one of the best - but I’d love another main event run.
Back when he saved us from Jinder’s reign of terror he was arguably the best in the world

Thing with AJ is that he could be made champ tomorrow and fans would buy it immediately. Such a great talent and deserves another run.

I haven't watched wrestling in about 10 years... I think last time I watched was around when Samoa Joe was in TNA. This thread inspired me to google stuff, and it sounds like lots of stuff has changed, even if a few of the names are still the same. Seems like women's wrestling has become an actual thing, rather than just being treated as mainly a t'n'a joke? Sting is still going?! Not sure if I want to go down the rabbit hole of getting into it all again.  |

The women have been getting treated like a bit of a joke again recently sadly in WWE. They have a tag title but only 1 team on the main roster.
NXT meanwhile has a strong tag division both male and female
AEW need it's women wrestlers to blade to try and get over but from the sounds of it TNA actually treats them right.

The WWE product is boring as hell. Stopped watching ages ago. I occasionally watch AEW. I mostly just watch Botchamania now.

I stopped watching WWE when they ruined NXT. Now I watch AEW, with a bit of NWA Power if I cba.

For me Wrestling peaked @ Wrestlemania 8 with Flair (Perfect as his executive consultant) vs Savage and the incriminating photos of Liz

Is the WWE Network still a thing or has it been devoured by peacock?
I usually resub for a bit right in time for the Rumble, as that's always been my favorite PPV. Although from the sounds of it, they're having an awful time getting people to show up this year, so might not even be worth it.
Who am I kidding, I'm a sucker for watching masses of people get thrown out of the ring.
Edit: after a quick search, sounds like the only way to watch the Network stuff in the US is through peacock. Ugh. I hope they have some good exclusives.

At the moment I’d say AEW is ahead by miles, then NWA, then Impact and then WWE
Although as we’ve already discussed Impact is massively held back by only having 30 people in attendance when the actual product is so solid.
I’ll not watch the full show until its on ITV on Friday but the one Dynamite spoiler I’ve seen is very nice, very evil and has made me very happy

I mean, that's a funny response by MJF, but it'd hit harder if we weren't in a pandemic. It wouldn't be less true though. |

Since Star Wars and Marvel were swallowed up a Disney takeover of WWE has felt right for awhile now

As an aside; how is NXT UK still a thing? Do you think Vince has just forgotten it exists?
