Hey I finally watched that Samoa Joe vs. Necro Butcher match and uh, what the gently caress? First of all it was crazy that commentary was Eddie Kingston and CM Punk and that the ref was Bryce Remsburg.

But what was crazier was Necro Butcher seemingly going out of his way to take moves right to the dome? Why'd he do that? How is he still alive? That poo poo was wild! Were they botches?

If I had to sum it up in just one question it'd be: What the gently caress?

Does anyone know where I can find the Judy Bagwell promo here?? I tried searching YT and the best I could find is when Rick introduced her as the co-holder of the tag belts. I want to see the supposedly massive pops she received.

I don't recall this part of Nitro because I completely fast forwarded through most of them because of how stupid the entire Warrior/Wolfpac poo poo was.

lmao Butcher is only seven years older than me. Makes me feel even better about myself than all those pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio with all those signs of aging.



I was wondering, what's up with Randy Orton? Is he still in WWE? Last I bothered to check, he was their on-and-off chosen one that got a TON of focus and was involved in lots of stupid poo poo that didn't get him more over but got many people buried. I haven't heard about him recently, though, not that I really checked. Is this just a down-period from the usual thing? Is he hurt, as he often happens to be? Or worse, is he in the midcard? Where is the voices guy?

He's currently out due to a back injury. Before that, he was in an odd couple tag team with Matt Riddle. If the rumors are right, that tag team was supposed to break up a year ago but Orton fought to keep them together because he was so happy to be something besides The Viper (he hears voices in his head, they talk to him, he understands, they talk to him) for once.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

He said the same thing about his team with Bray years ago. "Wow I get to wear a shirt? That's different"

Yeah, the tacit formation of the Riddle team was where I stopped following, I think.

You'd almost feel sorry for Orton if he wasn't constantly overpushed.

He may be done altogether due to that back injury. Or at the very least the RKO may become a PPV/PLE only finisher for him.

The first time I heard about his new "gimmick" was when he showed up in my local indy to be a heel manager to one of our guys. I hadn't gone to that show so someone who regularly did at work told me about it. I thought it was just a tasteless heat thing but, welp. There's a very real possibility that my local indy was the first place that saw his new shtick.

Shame, but at least with the current goings-on it can be laughed at. Classic Necro stuff is still very good and it still blows my mind he was in The Wrestler.

When he worked Abdullah the Butcher in NWA-SW I saw some kid after the match go "see I told you the blood was fake" and dipped his finger into some blood on the apron and then stuck his finger in his mouth. Ugh

I'm in the back on the bleachers near the entrance way

I again met Necro sometime later in the ring during my very first wrestling match.

AEW was interested in signing him at his last contract negotiation, but Orton just used them to leverage more money out of WWE. Seems like he's really not interested in doing anything new.

Honestly weird that there isn't really a non-modern wrestling chat thread, not counting the WCW thread, or if there is I missed it. Would be good for anything before 2010 or what-have-you.
