The 8th Maxim Randy Mario Poffo Memorial Wrestling Thread

I don’t know how good it’s gonna be, but I am definitely excited to see Junior Dos Santos in a pro wrestling match

 

Man, if it’s not a squash, Malakai Black v Dante Martin is gonna be a banger

 

I’m a Hangman fan and have been for a while, but man I never thought I would see him get the reactions he gets.

Can’t wait to see the pop when he kicks out of One Winged Angel next month

 

I remember reading the hype around Hangman/Omega and the long storytelling. Could you give a quick rundown?

 

Oh boy, I’m not sure if it’s possible for my wordy ass to do a quick rundown as it’s been pretty loaded.

I recommend this Twitter thread -

The thread breaks at one point so here’s the pt 2 -

It hits all the big points along the way and while it was written a couple months ago, since Hangman took a couple months off it is pretty much current

 

Amazing storytelling there.

 

That ended before Hangman and Dark Order laid a challenge down to the Elite for a 10 man tag where, if they won, Hangman got a title shot and two members of Dark Order got a tag title shot

They lost, which was actually surprising until it became clear Hangman was taking some time off. To that point Hangman had been the number one contender, but with the loss he got pushed out of the rankings, then the Elite beat him down to write him off for the birth of his son.

So the ladder match was his “only” ticket back in and a natural spot for his return. And, well, you can see by the crowd reaction that it was damned near the perfect spot for it.

 

Glad I read that before watching. That was an amazing show. I’m enjoying wrestling again.

 

Danielson vs Murder Grandpa was fun

 

Mox’s book is very entertaining so far. It’s a little weird reading it, considering all the drinking references, knowing he’s in rehab right now though

 

More MJF please.

 

Punk and Kingston delivered with their segment tonight. That’s two of the best promos on the planet just doing their thing

 

Glad to see them finally put him in something with substance.

 

Regret not getting the PPV last night. Sounds like it was awesome.

We gonna see a triple threat with Page, Omega, and Danielson next?

 

I *think* we are about to see Okada show up to set up a program with Omega sometime next year. Dunno if they would go to adding Omega in for a triple threat, but it would be a good way to keep Bryan from eating the pin v Hangman

 

Yeah I just didn’t know if they’d go face on face.

Also, I need to see MJF v Punk.

 

Actually. Seems like the word is that Omega is gonna take some time off. I imagine he’ll drop the AAA title next month and that will be his only match over the next several months. His shoulder is apparently pretty messed up and he’s had some bouts with vertigo

 

Lol, Bryan Danielson very audibly said “He’s gonna get his [uck fay]ing head kicked in” on a live show

 

LFG

 

Interested to see how long they take this MJF/Punk storyline.

Personally I’d like to see MJF take the belt 4-6 months down the road.
