Back during the attitude and ruthless aggression eras it was one ppv a month. Now its 2 per month and if im not mistaken 3 sometimes with super showdown. That dosent include nxt's ppvs. Vince looks horrible . Look up his speech to taker from last weeks survivor series because ooooof Vince has piles of make-up on. I give him credit for his work ethnic but he looks bad

Theres a few very old gimmicks that bombed in the very early 90's id like to see revamped. Those being phantasio, max moon, oz. Im a sucker for odd gimmicks

[TazzMission]

Not going to lie im really curious about this winter is coming tonight and holy shit at sting in aew. Im curious how this affects his legends deal with wwe since wwe can be petty. Its being reported its a multi year deal so hmmmmm. Aew and impact announced there working together. I wont lie i am interested because will this be a return of the territory days or a monopoly for pro wrestling like wwe?

^Well, they said he's signed a multi-year contract with AEW, so I think that answers that. Vickie Guerrero got dropped from AEW when she did a one-match dark commentary for AEW so I think it's safe to say the Vince-Sting ties are cut (not that they were too tight before). He's in the HoF. What else does he need from them?

I read wwe pulled his merchandise in October his contract ended in march or may this year so thats not a worry anymore in terms of wwe being petty. Hes got to be in the game at least. Makes me wonder how long ago he signed and if he was already scanned. Wwe has a deadline till mania for 2k to finalize the game roster yearly so. Im really curious about impact working with aew. Imo at 61 sting shouldnt wrestle he should be a consultant to help tony khan book . I dont hate aew i just dont want cringy skits and bad comedy. Thats what turned me off wwe. The firefly funhouse is a exception because its meant to be campy. Memosa mayhem no thank you. Aew did fantastic to bring back the dog collar match. Give me something that adds to pro wrestling not feel like a very high budget YouTube wrestling show. I like the riff in stings theme remids me of the crow in that one scene

Streamed "Winter is Coming" this morning/noon and the show was PPV-worthy for sure. I almost wonder if they should've held off on Sting just because it buried the lead of the worked Impact "screw job." That said, Sting (who premiered with some fake snow) seemed to be the main meaning of the title.

Eh we shall see what happens. I really hope he dosent wrestle because 1. Hes 61 and 2. He had that broken neck from rollins buckle bomb. Sting should be on creative same with jake the snake. Jake would be awesome at teaching promo classes to the new stars. Fun fact wwe wanted Sting vs the rock after buying wcw . Sting decided no because of how he may not be used right. All the podcasts i have are mainly wrestling with guys like jim ross Austin cornette raven konan and disco inferno. I find these podcasts more entertaining than raw and smackdown. I just love learning about it. I look at pro wrestling as art and how everything is created from characters to promos even to the matches themselves. I have a obsession with wrestling

Yeah, since getting back into wrestling in 2017, a big part of the attraction has been coming at it as a smart mark. I like evaluating bad booking or spotting a call or a botch. That's a lot of the fun.

My favorite is listening to wrestlers call spots. Rock did it with cena at mania 28. Flat out yells to him on the top rope do a ddt. Camera was smack dead on his face when he says it

[TazzMission]

I heard of the tag team the ding dongs i looked them up and oh lord horrible gimmick

[TazzMission]

I think aew is buying impact. If they do im curious to who will be on creative. I really hope they get legitimate bookers. Just dont be wcw light or current wwe. Bring back the soap opera feel

I think it's a work but we'll see. In the post-match last week, Tony Schiavone very casually said he thinks this is a one-off crossover. Could be he was working the audience, but I think he might have mistakenly revealed a work. We'll see. If they merge and Impact Plus becomes a WWE-Network-type with a back catalogue or even the PPVS, I'd probably try that.

[TazzMission]

Been creative with 2k20. Did a new ppv for the nwa titled dark winter. My top champion is outback jack a created wrestler i made

[TazzMission]

It looks like balor vs kross wich will be fucking awesome for nxt imo they should be a mania match but i'll take it . Sting vs darby as well it looks like wich im hesitate about but trying to be optimistic.

[TazzMission]

Owen harts family signed a figure deal with pro wrestling tees his first one in 20 years . They all sold out . Only 250 were made. I admit i only remember owen when he joined jeff jarrett so ill have to find all his stuff before that

[TazzMission]

Rumor going around that becky lynch is done wrestling to be a full time mom

[Space Cop]

^Even if she says so now, who knows how she might feel when the kid's 1 or 2.

Eh for right now wwe should call up rhea ripley and push her to the moon and have her be the new becky lynch in terms of star power because im exausted with bailey and banks. Also i like the name new years evil for nxt and wtf is this news about sending Keith lee back to developmental?

[Space Cop]

It's baffling. And it comes within a week of WWE Network releasing one of their 24 documentaries on him.

Last night i spent about a hour hour in a half creating a ppv arena in 2k20. Nwa new fronttier all in black and white wile the stage is the moon and you see earth a nod to b sci-fi from the 50's. I know it sounds childish but i miss ppv sets. They make the shows feel more special

+ YouTube Video

[Trey Strain]

I haven't watched the WWE in a while, and I find Vince's appearance shocking. That's not normal aging. He has to have a health issue.

My dream scenario is that Kairi Sane is making a special reunion of the Kabuki Warriors, but that's probably only a step or two below CM Punk returning in likelihood.

Kabuki warriors sound like a porn title . They should of been named the geisha's wich imo sounds better . Punk isnt returning to wwe ring action he stated on renees youtube show called oral sessions with renee paquate he pretty much faced everyone there and dosent want same fueds with the same people. Plus what story line could they do with jim? Imo he should of been the leader of retribution but wwe ruined it
