AJ Styles slowly morphing into Randy Savage playing Bone Saw in Spider-man. The size of him! Can only assume TKO tasked The Rock with writing up the new (non-existent) wellness policy.

Looks like AJ is ready. 

You'd imagine USA will just offer an extension on a reduced rate for the three months and enjoy the ad revenue.

Warlord vs Orange Cassidy plz. 

Initially read that as Watford vs Orange Cassidy. Very different sort of dream match.

Makes a change. 

EDIT: On reflection that's probably a bit harsh, but low hanging fruit and all that. Sorry Scorch.

Yeah Booker T is a fucking massive bloke and has that "I'm a tough guy but don't need to show it " vibe to him. I can't imagine Punk would be able to handle him at all.

One of those weird anomalies where you genuinely might not back the former UFC fighter against the pro wrestler in a real fight.

I think its because nobody commits to the clothesline the way the "Hitman" used to fucking throw himself into it.

In many ways it's more than a clothesline, he leaps up and sits down into it, so it's a bit like the seated clothesline The Miz does in the corner, but actually impressive. 

Mone's finisher is awful. The rest of the presentation (maybe aside from the music) was pretty decent, but that move is so clunky. 

Obviously Mone is coming in tonight, but something about the blatant way it's been done makes me think there's a secondary, maybe less expected surprise in he offing too, possibly a return. Not sure why, but as it's been so overt I can see there being something more going on tonight. 

Not to continue to bang the same drum, but please remember this is a public forum and if you're discussing an ongoing legal situation it may be sensible to err on the side of caution when throwing out accusations/statements that might be considered libellous or could be problematic towards any such legal action. Always prudent to be careful. 

Even if it's a kayfabe number, you probably have to at least make it seem like you're paying an outlandish amount of money to someone who literally has the nickname "The Rainmaker".

You wonder at what point the TKO executives are going to start asking questions though. The optics are starting to look terrible for Hunter and Shawn. Tony Khan’s bringing in Ospreay, Okada and Mercedes, compared to Triple H bringing in Shawn Spears, Brian Pillman Junior and Tama Tonga. Fucking hell, Paul. Cheapskate. You’re happy to talk about the Netflix money when you need to distract from all the Sex Trafficking. How about you actually spend some of that money and sign some big stars.

While I get your point, surely it's TKO holding the purse strings rather than Triple H in that arrangement?

Jericho. There is a direction I would be interested in seeing. Have him lose and disappear.

This is closer to what I'd like to see. 

Bit deflated by the Okada debut. Not sure why, or what I expected but sticking him with The Bucks just feels lazy. I appreciate it's logical (and perhaps my reaction is not), and sets up feuds with Omega and Kingston, but I think I was hoping for something a bit more interesting for him.

I hope he wins, and wins clean at Wrestlemania.  But I do wonder what will happen to this universal support after that.  I  remember how AEW faithful here turned sour on him during the Codyverse era, and that's kind of what I expect him to be as a WWE face world champ.  Enjoy Wrestlemania season because I suspect in a year's time we'll have had enough of The Man Who Fell To Earth and be all in on Rock v Reigns again.

 

There's an easy pivot to a heel version of Cody down the road if the reactions call for it. The man is literally dressed like Homelander from The Boys. Cody could easily become a bitter heel if he's rejected by the crowd once the "story" and the afterglow are a distant memory.

That he looks really old or like he's got weirdly big nipples?

Maccy’s cocked our order up and I got two double cheeseburgers instead of one. I’m not sure what you all call slamming two doubles together but I’ve known it as a McGangbang since a lad in uni called it that way back yonder. Whatever you call it, it belongs in this thread.

I always thought a McGangbang was a Chicken Sandwich inside a Big Mac (it's delicious of course).

Yep, I have one! And I have no idea why I don't ever use it. I'm an idiot, the last two pages have clearly shown. 

Bring back Out Of Context.

Pick this up (it's normally in The Works etc). It's excellent, super easy and most recipes are "chop ingredients, bung in slowcooker". There's evena  second edition called "Even easier".

Alternatively, https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/search?q=slow+cooker is a great place to start.

Lance Bass of Nsync nearly went into space.

He completed cosmonaut training and was going to be part of a documentary about a celebrity going into space on the Soyuz capsule to the ISS.

It was discovered in his medicals that he had a heart condition so he had surgery to correct it and entered astronaut training, but the documentary fell through.

They went to MTV but then they were worried he might die in space, so all the other sponsors pulled out and he was replaced.

Mad.

I imagine he was gutted when his plans went Bye, Bye, Bye. 

Just now, Bettencourt said:

Has he shunned questions on that subject?

Not as far as I've seen. He's been out injured since a couple of days after the details of the Janel Grant lawsuit went public, so aside from a softball TNT Sports interview at UFC, he's not been in a position to be asked by the press in the way the performers working at the PPV in Australia etc have been. So I would imagine he's not been asked about it as yet.

Punk's on his final chance in wrestling having burnt so many bridges, and just fucked up his push getting injured, and is sitting collecting cheques.  If I was him I’d be keeping schtum and doing whatever daft marketing the company wanted from him.

You'd imagine this plays into it too. He's trying to keep his head down and get on with things rather risk his last big shot (I don't actually believe it's his last shot, TK would take him back eventually if things went sideways, but that's another conversation for another thread)

Imagine the sheer idiocy if Cody wrestled Rocky and big daft Dwayne accidentally injured Cody instead of himself leaving Roman with nothing to do on night 2. 

The daft bastard worked a Hell in a Cell with his arm basically hanging off, Rock would have to paralyse him to stop him doing Night 2.

Just sad.

Slight tangent I appreciate, but whenever I hear that phrase, my brain immediately goes to...

What's he going to do, eat fish on stage?

Based on that picture alone, I'd suggest he's about to release a swing covers album in time for Mothers Day.

Couldn't tell you unfortunately, probably some ill advised wrestling figures I'd imagine. Was a very long time ago.
