General Wrestling Discussion

Toni's too good for AEW.
I feel like that describes most of AEW’s roster.

Like, there’s proper Talent in that roster, and I’d love to see it in the hands of someone actually competent. Instead, we have a talented roster being squandered by a coke addicted retard.

But enough about the 2010s WWE!
 
Jake Roberts is gonna play 22 brother.

Now I see a lot of people online and in wrestling communities trying to tear down the old Snake with what they consider the "Worst promo of all time" but in reality we the masses have been too dumb to understand the level of kino that Jake was throwing down
>Everyone over the years have attributed the "You wanna play 21? I've got 22" line as being a sign that Jake doesn't know the rules of Blackjack
>In actuality what Mr. Roberts means is that he has a .22 Caliber gun, and that even if his opponent truly has the perfect hand he will not walk away the victor because Jake is vicious and will do anything to win.
>The line "Do you wanna play blackjack? I got two of those too" is then him saying that he has two actual blackjacks, a type of crude club used to bash people
>Finally the line "You wanna play Aces and Eights? I got too many of those" is probably the most kino of them all
>Aces and Eights goes by another name. They are called "Dead Man's Hand" because it is said to be the cards that Wild Bill Hickok, a famous outlaw, was holding when he was shot dead
>Jake is then implying that he has led a trail of men who thought they could best the snake only to wind up dead at his hand over the years.
It's time to face the facts, that even while ballooned off his ass on enough drugs to kill a bull, Jake Roberts could still cut a more cerebral promo than anyone else in the history of the business.
 
NXT talent appearing on TNA on a somewhat regular basis feels odd. Like, half convinced as I am that WWE is trying to poach Joe Hendry, of this leads to AJ Styles being allowed to retire - hell, even just have one final match - in a TNA ring I’m all for it. Guy practically built that company up for years…

Hey Tony - see, this is how you do a Partnership, not just “no MY toys always have to win!”
 
Enzo fucking Amore got himself over. Hell he used to carry around a notebook filled with booking ideas and gimmicks and would harass Vince every time he saw him. Vince never punished him for any of that. He got let go because he raped a woman AND THEY CAN'T TEACH THAT.
Enzo was NEVER fucking popular. He helped drive away scores on fans and viewers in those dark years of 2014-2020 and only got pushed because John Cena. Rather than use all of his pull and favors to help say, Zach Ryder out (especially after Cena single handedly killed Zach's big early 10 push with the Kane storyline), Cena wasted all of his political capital on getting Enzo pushed purely because Hunter hated his guts and rightfully so and Cena wanted to flex on Hunter over how he could get Vince to push someone if Cena vouched for him.

And once Cena fucked off for good, Hunter (in one of the few cases of 100% being right to bury someone) had the entire Cruiserweight division stage a live TV lynching of Enzo as a big moment of fan catharsis of watching the shitstain be buried by people infinitely better than him but who couldn't get pushed or even TV time, because they didn't have John Cena's favor.

That's unironically a top 10 for me during those dark ages, that was amazing and fucking cathartic.
