The 8th Maxim Randy Mario Poffo Memorial Wrestling Thread

I am always afraid to open this thread because I’m perpetually 2 weeks behind on shit. I just finished MITB last night. Took me 4 nights to finish it.

 

I watch all PPVs live and then Raw and Smackdown as I have time. Smackdown being significantly easier to watch and catch up on than Raw.

Anything I miss is usually covered on the The Masked Man Show, which is the best week to week podcast IMO.

Also listen to Pritchard and Bischoff if their shows have a particularly interesting subject, like last week when it was Sable and The Great American Bash ‘98 respectively.

 

Those pods with Conrad are always enjoyable.

 

Agreed. I love that he doesn’t let them get away with too much bullshit.

 

I bought an "Eat and Greet" with Schiavone during Starrcast on All In weekend. That's going to be awesome.

Unfortunately Prichard and Bischoff both interfered with the Punk Meet and Greet

 

That entire event looks like an amazing time. Jealous.

 

I've gotten much more into the RoH and NJPW stuff (and the Indies) lately. NXT is always great.

WWE actually put on two good main shows this week, but man the chasm between it and the competition right now in booking, match quality, storylines, etc is just enormous.

I'm hoping All In is either the tipping point that makes WWE shape the [uck fay] up, or it helps create much more meaningful competition

 

Good card tonight, streaming free on Twitch (and legal)

PSA, if you have AXS TV (Sling, DirecTV, etc), NJPW G1 Special from San Fran is tonight

 

It's awesome to hear Jim Ross call it

 

"And what the [uck fay] is Haku's problem?"

 

Kevin Owens just did a pretty good Mick Foley impression

 

That was pretty badass, even if you could see the airbag under the table.

 

It still has to hurt like hell

 

Everyone please stand for Soviet National Anthem

 

Any of you dudes know anyone with an Honorclub account that won't be using their G1 SuperCard presale code? I totally zoned on signing up and now it's too late

 

All In sold out 10K seats in 30 minutes
G1 SuperCard sold out Madison Square Garden this morning

If anyone is wondering if WWE has competition, the answer is yes

 

The last time Vince had competition, we got the last golden age of wrestling. Competition is a good thing

 

If they’re showing up here, and not showing up to Vince’s, then I’d agree.

But they’re showing up to both. Which is good for everybody- the wrestlers, the promoters and most importantly the fans.

 

Hey, I'll take it.
