The Wrestling Thread has much larger nipples

Blandy could retire tomorrow and no one I know would miss him.

I just noticed Moxley keeps getting autocorrected.

So if the WWE said to all of their talent that they would prefer them streaming on YouTube, would they do it? Right now Xavier Woods, Paige, Cesaro, Mia Yim, Dakota Kai, Mike Rome, Tyler Breeze and AJ Styles all stream on Twitch. Would they all move to YouTube if WWE told them that's what they prefer over Twitch? Woods does stream on UpUpDownDown's YouTube at times.

I mean I think a lot of people would say she's the most beautiful woman in wrestling

You ain't never lie.

So let me get this straight: You have Bianca Belair and Shanna Bazler on your roster and who do you have contend for the RAW women's title...Mickie James.

Right.

 

[NDX]

Baszler is in a tag team right now and you want to save Belair and Asuka for a much bigger event. James is a good contendor for the time being, leading up to bigger feuds afterwards.

Pretty much this.

Eh, you're in a battle with AEW for eyes and minds. These filler feuds are just bland and make the product bland.

Eric Young successfully defended the Impact World title against Tommy Dreamer and we saw the return of Rich Swann.

Caleb Konley debuted a new character onscreen.

Next week will be Kylie Rae & Susie Yung Vs. Deonna Purrazzo & Kimber Lee.

Tommy Dreamer is still wrestling?

 

[NDX]

He's damn near completed his transformation into Terry Funk. He's just a few false retirements away.

I hope Miro crushes it in AEW.

We need to stop getting so wrapped up in people we like not being used to their full potential in a company. If they are really that good then they'll get another shot somewhere. We don't get anything out of the fan rage unless we're someone getting YouTube and Patreon money.

Maybe it's just me though.

Tonight on Dynamite feels different. Though the Elite appeared for interviews or announcements, there were no long wrestling matches from them. The rest of the matches tonight were from 5-10 minutes at best.

Rusev in AEW didn't surprise me as I knew deep down he would appear. I have no problem with this as Impact got who they wanted from the free agent market.

 

[Wheels]

I'm sure Young wiil be just fine in Impact. The show isn't bad honetly from what little I've seen.

I had no idea Powerrr was back. I guess I'll get caught up on that maybe.

IMHO it would be illegal to tell them they can't stream on Twitch or YouTube even using their real names. Paige changed her Twitch to her real name Saraya. I mean to tell her no and they'd have to stop, they are independent contractors. Plus, Paige isn't even wrestling anymore. She's not on TV. You're really going to tell her she can't use this as a source of income? It's f'n stupidity.

AJ Styles has a career spanning about 15 years before he joined WWE working as AJ Styles all over the world. He created that character and gimmick. Not WWE. AJ Styles is a company man, and he will likely work with them. But that'd be pretty terrible to say "you can't do this" for intellectual property they can't create.

FYI, WWE tried to claim everything about Razor Ramon was their intellectual property. But a lot of the gimmicks and mannerisms Razor Ramon had actually used before in WCW when he was the Diamond Studd. In WCW, well before Razor Ramon debuted, Scott Hall was already doing the toothpick stuff, had the hair curl, and the basic look of Razor Ramon was already there. It was already established outside of the name Razor Ramon and the cuban accent.

I felt like a few of the those All Out matches went on too long. There was also some sloppier than usual wrestling.

Miro Day!

I am starting to find the Dark Order interesting and I like Brodie Lee as champ.

I think Vince not letting wrestlers have streaming side hustles unless he gets a cut is disgusting but par the course for Vince McMahon.

Lillian Garcia and Damian Sandow were in AP Bio.

Happy to hear Finn is NXT champion again although I'm still not watching any WWE shows.

It all depends on what Vince's team of attorneys has put into those contracts the performers signed.

Ryback wants to join AEW eventually.

 

[javonstokess]

Nice to see AEW pull a million+ viewers.

They need to stay away from Ryback.

Honestly, I wouldn't be adverse to them backing off signing any more "immediate" former WWE talent. At this point, they really need a 2nd show.

That's what I say as well. They need a second show to showcase their talent more. I mean they do have a decent women's division but with all the male talent they have they don't get a chance to really show it and they have a good roster of male talent but never get to showcase it. Either that or do a 3hr show. Thar's what WCW did and forced the WWF hand (at the time) to make Raw a 3 hr show.
