Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 211

Do we know what a Firefly Funhouse match is?

 

Only a third into the New Jack episode but fuck this is so interesting

 

Sandman looks as awful as I would expect him to these days

 

Apparently there was going to be a Motor City Machine Guns reunion for Impact this weekend.

 

wait did they really not give any explanation at all as to why Braun is replacing Reigns lmao

 

Wow


That New Jack episode was fucking absolutely insane

 

where did you watch it? wondering if i gotta torrent or if it's on hulu or something

 

Lol sonya about to get her run at the worst possible time

 

So mustafas new gimmick is that he’s a hacker?

 

It's on the vice website, it's 'locked' but they let you do a thing where you can view videos 3 times for 30 minutes, so I just had to use two of those to watch the whole episode

 

Doesn’t vice just post all the episodes on YouTube..?

 

There is one in YouTube, it's not by vice and the audio isn't synced up with the video, can't stand that shit

 

It’ll be really dumb for wwe take the belt off Sami when they’re actually starting to seem legit, so it’s definitely gonna happen.

 

Sandman looks like the dude at a bar who calls everyone by the most distinguishable piece of clothing they have on then asks around for cigarettes and/or a light

 

Cena vs Bray honestly might be amazing

 

the ending to smackdown was fucking amazing

 

lmao reading the recap - did they just announce Strowman as the new challenger with no reasoning or story behind it?

 

yup

 

very cool very unique

 

The Stroman announcement was so perfect for how this WM buildup has been

 

What if this is Stroman’s moment haha

He wins the title at WM. In front of no one. Then gets buried by Cena or whoever at the next big show with a crowd.

 

this is vivid poetry

 

I have very little interest in writing critical analysis of wrestling, personally. I love writing stories about the wrestlers themselves, primarily because I think it takes a very certain type of personality to want to chase that dream—similar to boxers or MMA fighters.

Folks like Rosenberg and Sam I can forgive for being on those things, because they're not really journalists. They're radio personalities looking to expand their personal brand and pad their resumes. That they're both wrestling fans is a cherry on top for them. Someone like Satin, who presents himself as some sort of serious journalist, is wildly problematic from an ethical standpoint. I'm sorry, there's no way you can report on WWE while being on their payroll.

 

yeah i wasn't referring to you in any way to be clear, you're a very different thing. im more saying i dont care what publications rate matches or what sc00pz they get

 

Cena needs a merch refresh in the worst way lol
