You know, sometimes I miss watching wrestling. Then I hear, like, anything about it and know I made the right choice.
For example according to Wikipedia Roman Reigns is “Regarded as one of the best professional wrestlers in the world.” When I quit he was unwatchable and said he didn’t really care about it but it was an easy paycheck because of his family. Apparently he held a major title for over 3 consecutive years. Glad I missed it.
Wow, how prestigious. I was going to make a joke about it being up there with the one Gillberg held for a year and a half, but at least the Light Heavyweight belt had a respectable history. Maybe I’m just getting old and grumpy.
What is a Xitter-exclusive title?
Even with that name I didn’t realise this was actual competition, the part about betting just made it click. I’m no longer interested in seeing how badly this flops, I just don’t care any more. Good luck to the wrestlers I guess, I’m out.
…Unless it’s not competition and they are talking about betting on scripted stuff, in which case I’m back in so damn hard.
Well once you’ve seen 20 of them they have to try pretty hard to get you excited. It’s just alright, let’s see what Kofi is going to do this time (or who was it before that, Johnny Nitro?), who’s the big guy who’s going to get ganged up on by 6 people then throw them all off dramatically, who’s going to have a tantrum and cheat, let’s just get these boxes checked so we can go home.
I’m at the point where I’ll get vaguely enthusiastic about wanting to watch the next Royal Rumble in about June or July, then by the time January rolls around I’ll almost certainly have forgotten completely. Either that or I’ll have it spoiled for me somewhere between the event & getting a chance to hang out with my sister to watch it, which puts us off (because 99% of the roster is now either someone we’ve never heard of, or someone we dislike). I honestly can’t remember the most recent WWE show of any kind that I saw, it might have been the Rumble Rollins won.
Take a shot every time Lesnar hits a suplex, it might make it bearable. I know somehow that match of theirs was really well received but fuck me I thought it was terrible.
My only post on this comm from 6 months ago was trying to figure out how to watch things because my gf wanted to see some of my old favourites. I never ended up finding what I needed.
Oh no, what does that mean for that RAF thing? I was looking forward to laughing at the biggest flop the world has ever seen, I hope it goes ahead.
The anti-AEW people in the comments seem very sane and normal 👍
I hope he says something after the NDA expires, for some reason there’s nothing I find more interesting than the old guys bitching about the company after they leave.
I was around for the first few months of AEW and watched it weekly, but I just don’t care any more. I’ll pop in to watch a PPV (or whatever they’re called these days) occasionally. WWE is completely unwatchable though, there’s just something about it I can’t stand.
Lucha Underground spoiled me, it was so much fun and nothing else can compare.
Ah cool, thanks.
Which is why they had those "who gets to be #1/#2 matches recently on Dynamite/Collision/
🤷
I don’t know about any of that. I’m subbed here because I used to be a big wrestling guy and I still enjoy the news about the industry, but I can’t actually stand to watch any of this any more.
What’s a casino gauntlet match?
I’m aware, but since Lucha Underground I’ve never really been interested, I just find it all fascinating to read about.
