The 8th Maxim Randy Mario Poffo Memorial Wrestling Thread

Have you ever listened to any of McAfee's story on his love of wrestling? The guy wrestled a few indy shows when he was in college and bought a ring to practice on while he was on the Colts.

 

This isn’t my usual stomping grounds but I saw this on the internets and it amused me

 

I agree with Andre

 

Got my Starrcast Nashville bracelet

Haven’t decided if I want to go to that Ric Flair final match or not. Guess it depends on ticket prices

 

MJ effin F

 

Good lord, I’m like 99% it’s a work, and assuming it is, TK and MJF (mainly MJF) are geniuses

 

That was Pipe Bomb 2

 

Hell, if they gave that guy a mic knowing it was a shoot, TK is still a genius

 

In case y’all couldn’t read lips

 

Best promo I’ve seen.

 

It’s top 3-4 for me at least

 

Are the smarks still going to love him when he signs with WWE?

 

It was good.

The one thing I hope doesn't happen is it turns Tony Khan into an on air villain. Let Hangman come out and take up for AEW.

 

Probably not

 

I imagine not.

I’d tune it before eventually losing interest after they water him down or flat out change his gimmick.

 

Agree with that.

Speaking of Hangman, became a huge fan during his title run. Every match was good to great.

 

Or Company Man Punk

 

6 months ago Rhodes was getting booed in his last AEW match.

Now he’s the most over face in WWE and will probably win the Rumble and dethrone Reigns at Mania.

 

Torn pec may screw that up

 

Nah, if he's out 6-7 months he'll be back just in time for a surprise Rumble entrant and the place will explode. He'll win and get his WM moment. This might actually work out better for him this way.

And as far as MJF he cuts a good promo and I'm sure there's some truths in what he's saying but anyone who was around in the mid 90s (I was in high school) knows that he's basically just putting a new twist on the Brian Pillman Loose Cannon gimmick. I loved Pillman back then and this just screams Loose Cannon MJF.
