Tried watching a Vice documentary on Montreal and holy cow how do you have Bret available as an interviewee and dedicate so much time to Cornette & Russo and treat anything they say as reliable? Dunno if Shawn Michaels showed up to save the doc as I turned it off.Cornwind Evil posted:They ain't the only ones who let their gimmick eat them alive. Hulk Hogan also had it happen, as did Ric Flair, Ted DiBiase did for a time before he pulled back via religion (god I hope that is an example of religion actually having a positive effect on someone) From the Athletic’s article on Lex Luger religion seemed to do him a lot of good late in life. Probably not for everyone but glad to hear he was in a better place physically & mentally.

RocknRollaAyatollah posted:Adam Scherr attempting to big league IMPACT was hilarious too because he could have very easily gotten a lucrative and mostly protected position in the company. He might have had to lose to Moose at some point but lol at him thinking they were going to be making a known wrestler like him a jobber. It has to be some kind of PTSD from being in WWE. The fact that CYN appeared at NWA speaks volumes about how bad NWA is at this point, it seemed promising for a bit, but it's even funnier that Scherr didn't end up there on his own as a top guy. This is a company whose top guy is Trevor Murdoch. Scherr played himself and within a decade he's going to be doing a podcast/twitch stream like Russo or Cornette where he bitches and moans about the state of the industry and how, without directly saying so, it's the reason why he doesn't have a job. I'm sad that NWA sucks poo poo now, I really enjoyed watching their studio show pre-Covid. The matches were decent to good, the mic work was fun (I miss Aron Stevens) and until Rock'n'Roll Express showed up, I enjoyed it! But now-a-days? Haven't watched the new edition of it because holy gently caress Trevor Murdoch IS STILL CHAMPION??????? Did Billy Cardigan just get really bored?

With the whole backstage fight situation, everyone involved (even those who were trying to pull people apart) has been suspended. Punk's future with the company is up in the air. A third party is investigating everything. On Dynamite, neither party has been mentioned by name and there was no footage of them in the opening. The trios championship (which Omega and the Bucks won on Sunday) was vacated and an already-announced trios match on Dynamite was turned into a title match. The world title has also been vacated and they're doing a six-man tournament over the next two weeks. The thing that's been making the whole fight hilarious is how details have been trickling in over the past few days. Details that turn the brawl into some Rashomon situation where each side is seemingly leaking info to make them look better. Even though it's a bunch of he-said/he-said poo poo, the fact that Punk and Ace Steel's side is all about the violent stuff they did in response to being confronted and the Omega/Bucks side involves bringing the head of legal with them for the sake of having a neutral witness in case things got out of hand... yeah. Not a good look for Punk.

I listened to an interview with Billy Corgan before the last PPV and he was more into owning one of the NWA Heavyweight Championship. He's 100% into the idea of owning a wrestling company as a toy or whatever but I don't think he cares too much beyond that. He's like Tony Khan in that he bought a promotion and isn't really an onscreen character but unlike TK, he sucks at actually running it. Billy Corgan is pretty friendly with Alex Jones so he's definitely really stupid, which doesn't help either.

He rolled back the rule about talent being forbidden to make money from youtube or onlyfans or whatever He ended the ban on the words "wrestling" and "wrestler" He reinstated some spots that Vince had banned previously He will allow nxt call-ups to retain their gimmick on the main roster instead of getting revamped Also I'm pretty sure that he has started to allow talent to cut their own promos instead of making them recite scripts So yeah he's basically Jesus imo

Imagine spending blood, sweat, tears, and years on coming up with a popular wrestling persona, building a fanbase, getting signed to NXT, getting over with the crowd, getting the call to the big show and suddenly "I need you to be swamp man who eats his own boogers. We're gonna call you Rumplesnotskin."

Foxfire_ posted:The rumor is that he wants to stop wrestling to deal with mental health stuff, negotiated out of his contract with a new agreement that he won't go wrestle somewhere else for X amount of time, and that there's no hard feelings on either side He's also injured and wants to take time off to rehab too. It's apparently bad but not career ending.

The latest hilarious backstage wrestling story is that of Bobby Fish. Bobby Fish's deal is that he was a Ring of Honor regular who teamed up with Kyle O'Reilly through the years as ReDRagon. A very talented, if somewhat bland wrestler. Bobby signed with WWE in 2017 and was part of NXT, even though he was 40 at the time. He and Kyle were part of the Undisputed Era, a stable with Adam Cole and Roderick Strong. This was during the time when Triple H was in charge of NXT and Vince would poo poo on any NXT graduates who made it to the main roster, so the Undisputed Era just stayed a thing in NXT for years. Triple H did NOT want those guys to get tainted by Vince. Then, of course, Triple H was removed from NXT. Adam Cole knew he was doomed, so when his contract was up, he chose not to re-sign. Kyle and Fish were let go. Strong had just signed a new contract before all this went down, so sucks for him. Adam Cole signed with AEW, where he was treated as a star. The initial storyline was that he joined with the Elite (Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks) and was possibly intent on taking over. When Kenny lost the title and took time off to heal from his many injuries, they played it up that Cole was gradually taking more control in his absence. Naturally, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish joined during that time and they became the Undisputed Elite. While there was some criticism of bringing in another bland white dude in a time when AEW was getting really bloated, Fish was still a talented wrestler and a good veteran to have around. He got a lot of TV time as Cole's underling and had some good matches. Not that he was especially awesome. The guy had an annoying habit where if somebody was cutting a promo at him, he would be yelling so loud during it that you could hear him despite him not being mic'd. There's also a situation where he had a singles match with CM Punk, took the heavily-protected Go 2 Sleep, kicked out immediately after the three-count, and to this day is surprised that Punk was pissed at him after the match. It looked like they were building towards eventually doing Kenny Omega/Young Bucks vs. Cole/Kyle/Fish. Going into AEW's big trios tournament, Cole and Kyle were too injured to compete. ESPECIALLY Kyle, who will be out for a while. They did a segment where Cole was trying to force the Bucks to team with Fish, then beating them down for their reluctance, only for Hangman Adam Page to come out and clear the ring. That would be Fish's last AEW appearance. With Vince McMahon retiring from WWE and Triple H stepping up, Fish was suddenly openly talking to the media about how great Triple H is and how he'd go to war for him. He was also openly making GBS threads on Punk online. Soon it was revealed that Fish's AEW contract was up and he wasn't interested in re-signing. Turns out Triple H asked him about coming back. Fish, excited about a WWE return, burned his AEW bridges and told other former NXT guys about Triple H's interest. Cole and Kyle told him, nah, they're good. Presumably, Swerve Strickland not only told him he wasn't interested, but he informed Tony Khan that WWE was doing some contract tampering (which really pissed Tony off). Fish supposedly went for the WWE return and Triple H, seeing that the 45-year-old guy was coming to him empty-handed, decided, "Yeah, no thank you." So anyway, Bobby Fish just made his debut on IMPACT. Good going, dude.
