Wrestling Thread 5: FKA The Viking Experience • Page 81

man Tom Magee coulda really been a star huh. never seen a second of the guys work before now but the sizzle reel of his "greatest hits" they put together was really something for the time

 

the new podcast Conrad did with JR is pretty good. same format as Something to Wrestle but without all the corny carnie pervy bullshit that made me ditch it. JR's memory is astoundingly precise and he's as good a storyteller as ever.

 

Going to nxt at absury this Sunday. How long are nxt house show events usually?

 

Usually caps at 2.5 hours

 

Is this going to be a regular thing?

 

watching the hart-magee doc

wtf is davey boy jr wearing. Is this more bizarre than the onesie he wore when he saved a life?

 

yep its replacing JR's old pod, they just repurposed the old feed for this show. theres two eps out now but with STW winding down this seeks to be their new focus

 

c u there

 

oh shit. It's my bachelor party (taking non wrestling fans to watch wrestling). Have you seen a wrestling event at the convention hall? I figure i'd get whatever cheap seats, considering the place is so small. I'm sure it doesn't really matter where you sit?

 

WWE Fines Lars Sullivan $100,000 For Past Bigoted Comments

WWE has fined Lars 100k and are forcing him to take sensitivity training.

 

I think its a great venue for it. I went to the first show they put on there and had a ton of fun. You can sit in the bleachers and its a perfect view.

these were the cheap seats and I thought they were great. lol I sound like such a loser.

 

This doesn't exactly make any sense. They are fining him for something he did while he wasn't under contract? I think having him donate the money "on his own accord" would have been better optics. Donating money to NAACP, RAINN, or one of a million other organizations would show that the two parties are making an effort to actually contribute to those who are affected by his words.

Also, how much fucking money is this guy making?

 

WWE probably has a provision in their contract that says "could anything in your past be embarrassing/damaging to the companies future." And he probably said no.

 

If I remember right, a few of the posts were actually after he was signed, so, thats probably their justification.

But yeah, this makes no sense and also was something they've known about for months...so doing it now is so random

 

To the surprise of no one, Tom Savini designed Bray Wyatt's mask.

 

It’s only because it’s got some press. Being the morally bankrupt company that they are, they would have happily ignored it if they could.

 

Awesome. I usually hate house shows but figured maybe friends would actually enjoy nxt type excitement

 

This man is art.

 

Why is everyone in the front row painted like a Simpsons character

 

That match was an absolute blast! He spent most of the match with his hands in his pockets.

 

Flash forward 6 months when he gets comfortable and does it again

 

Honestly, just give Stoke creative control of WWE at this point.

 

holy shit that was great

 

well this didn't take long.
