Can anybody recommend a non fiction that charts the US territory era?

Now male wrestlers are coming forward like Amir Jordan to say what a bullying cunt Ligero is. I've heard that about him for years.

Look at this lot from the Exposed account.

"These names we have received, on more than one occasion. From men/women wrestlers, indie wrestlers, PROFESSIONAL wrestlers, refs, fans, coaches, camera men, merch people! "

I love how Vince McMahon is on there. 

Quite surprised this story hasn't been picked up by the Guardian/BBC etc yet. Perhaps something is coming.

Why do they keep bringing up a WWE angle from 10 years ago that nobody remembers? Definite TNA vibes there.

Sorry to hear that about CJ Banks. A very entertaining heel and great wrestler too.

I was cringing listening to this. I enjoy Jim but him and the lickspittle co-host have been unbearable since they started reviewing Dynamite. 

Rampage Brown on Colt Cabana's podcast is good this week. Only ever seen him play a bastard heel, so enjoyed hearing the softly spoken man behind the gimmick.

Not the most original point, but if I were Khan I'd tell JR to shitcan his podcast. He loses credibility as an announcer when he uses his podcast to bury modern wrestling at seemingly any opportunity.

I do like him on AEW, mind.

Seth Rollins is on WWE Backstage tonight. If he mentions CM Punk, it’s going to make me believe that they’re going for it with those two at Mania. Which would be really poo. 

I'd like to see that match. It makes perfect sense.

Not a popular move from Jericho, judging by his Twitter feed at the moment. And can't see it going down sensationally with AEW fans. 

Genius move more like.

There's a massive Meltzer thread.

 

OK then.

Mods delete away if you wish.

Let's talk about Daddy Dave.

Do you subscribe to the WON and defer absolutely to his superior wisdom?

Do you think he's a 'hack' ?

I dip in and out of subscribing and am somewhere in between. It's usually Alvarez, not Meltzer, that pushes me away for extended periods. He has to have the worst instincts of anybody covering wrestling.

I haven't been been a subscriber in over a year, I reckon.

I think Meltzer is a good sort on the whole and not malicious in his reporting, just clumsy. The flack he got for Saudi-gate was unfair.

WON does have the best wrestling forum on the internet, no offence.

The Daily Mail (I know) have picked up the story - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7652231/Nearly-200-WWE-wrestlers-crew-held-hostage-Saudi-Arabia.html

'Sports journalist Dave Meltzer told the radio station, Wrestling Observer'

Love that.

Red light y tho 

Dynamite is just a good show isn't it? Really pleased because Fight for the Fallen and the other one had me worried.

Love Cornette's podcast. One of the few I will listen to every week.

He's batshit but it's my kind of batshit .

Yeah, it's the old Wolf in Wolf's clothing is better than a Sheep in Wolf's clothing thing, isn't it?  You know the centrists will sooner back tories than Labour anyway, the cunts.

I sometimes wonder what would have happened if there was no referendum. We'd have an election next year and by that point people would have been utterly sick of David Cameron and the Tories. It would have been a tap in for Corbyn.

All this talk of Brexit destroying the Tory party, I just see the opposite. It's given the fucking vampires a new lease of life and I could see them in power for another decade now. How depressing is that? 

I find Swinson and the Lib Dems far more objectionable than the Brexit Party. They are terrible, duplicitous cunts. At least you know where Farage stands.

Corbyn is just too toxic now sadly. I'm a fan of McDonnell but he's about the same age so would be mid 70s if he took them to the election after this. It's worrying times for Labour.

Have they employed the bloke who does Leeds United's twitter or something?

Iconic.

They have now launched their YouTube channel and have uploaded two matches from the archives:

 

 

 

I'll be in the Rise end on the 2nd - looking forward to it!

Great show. Jericho was fucking brilliant there. The brawl with Cody's crew felt exciting, which isn't an emotion I associate with anything on WWE television for many years.

What happened with the Ellsworth noncing scandal?

We weren’t sure whether to post this or not due to the recent shit news about him passing. We planned to pop it online in November, but decided it was best to share it whilst Rick is still in people’s minds. We removed the ad sponsors etc, and whether you listen to it or not, go and check some of his matches as Rick Titan, or listen to some of his discussions about dealing with stress & anger.

Our interview with Rick Bognar.

Has it come out how he died yet?

I've realised who Dio Madden sounds like.

It's Michael Cole, but on them hooky YouTube recap vids that people do when they change the sound to a higher pitch.
