    Elite Hunter Frankie. Man how lame was that? And it had all the potential in the world to be fun. Just turn him into a backstage Punisher laying traps for the elite and have them constantly looking over their shoulder for some crazy elaborate trap or wacky ambush out of a broom closet or something.

    Really lean into how insane this could go. Like if Daddy Ass can be kidnapped I don’t see why Nick Jackson couldn’t have been hung over a tank of pirannhas. Real Looney Tunes meets Jigsaw Killer energy. Kaz doesn’t ever even have to do a single run-in for the whole gimmick, just have him lurking in the shadows, a perfect kayfabe reason to thin out the Elite numbers on any given week.

    Also the urge to just make this post about reversing bad booking decisions rather than detailing a feud itself was so strong… Ah fuck it:

    Cody doesn’t go over Malakai, Punk doesn’t go over Hangman, Goldberg doesn’t go over Owens or the Fiend (and while we’re at it Goldberg never comes back after that one time he squashed Brock and it was awesome - no 50/50 bollocks, we just leave it at that), someone else goes over Jade for the TBS belt much sooner (anyone, idc), Jericho doesn’t go over Kingston, and lastly a controversial one but I’d let Kip go over OC for the International belt (and while we’re at it fuck the name change we’re keeping the All Atlantic name, I don’t care that it’s dumb, in fact that’s why I love it!)


  • Welcome back to wrestling! Some good suggestions already so I’ll just add as you ease back into the overwhelming amount of content you’ve missed that cagematch.net can be a good resource for looking up specific wrestlers, promotions, matches, etc.

    Also although I don’t follow them regularly the Cultaholic youtube page has some good playlists of documentaries and summary videos for all kind of wrestling related stuff. Have fun!

    I don’t really keep up with WWE anymore because it’s made by rape monsters, but I do enjoy a good Rumble. This was a mostly pretty good pair of Rumbles.

    Nia getting to eliminate Trish was offensive. Also I’ve always hated Charlotte so her and Nia letdown an otherwise fun match up to that point.

    Happy Penta got plenty of time to shine. Felt like he held back a little on some of those Cero Miedos though. In AEW he’d shunt people across the ring by their faces.

    My kids were very happy to see the I Show Speed guy.

    Also not Rumble specific but god I do not like Michael Cole. I have been listening to his obnoxious bellend-ery since I was a kid, hoping he’d just go away, but here we are 20 something years later, even with Vince out of his ear, I still can’t stand him.
