I think this is right. JR has the best interviews before big fights. As of this point in his career, he is better taped then live. I loved his interview with the bucks vs omega/page. He’s special, make him feel special.
CI Wrestling Thread #56
- Thread starter K-mac18
- Start date
I have the same opinion of wrestling commentators and sports commentators. There’s beloved commentators who have done this for decades but you’ve got to make room for new people/talent.
I’m sorry, Wes. Keep working hard and you’ll get to an 8th grade level soon enough.
This is the CI wrestling thread I missed. We gotta get some of y’all in OVW for a one night only match. But he’s gonna book the matches?
Zomg can’t wait to see how zmark spins this one “aew didn’t want her…they want Tessa Blanchard”
if she went to aew “zomg Andrade wanted her and now she’s here”
Did she get rid of that site that she refused to get rid of that got her released?
I don't know. I heard a while back that she might come back but I figured that was out the window when they released her husband.
This dude is so ridiculous. Typical smark who doesn’t know shit but feels smug and behaves like a hipster.
“Psst. I only like underground wrestling. Not mainstream wrestling. AEW is gonna bankrupt the WWE with its coolness. Meltzer reported it.”
I imagine two years ago he was like “You ever heard of PWG? It’s like the best thing ever. Only behind Nagasaki and Otani Nakamura Chang at the Tokyo Dome. Meltzer gave it six stars. Look up Kenny Omega, bro.”
Put me on ignore yet can’t help yourself from replying to a post of mine you supposedly didn’t even see.
cool story.
So if she’s back on twitch than wwe gave in?
Crazy as dispensable they think their roster is they brought her back.
Completely get Joe getting brought back especially as an nxt enforcer if that buys him time before he’s medically cleared. Joe is a main event caliber guy.
Give Hhh credit for bringing him back. I still was shocked he was even thought of being let go. Even if he never wrestles again, he has value beyond that (whicH HHH obviously recognized)
I’m gonna be honest I get people want to create this AEW vs WWE rivalry……but it’s getting exhausting. This is 2021 not 2001…..people are smart enough to understand what they’re watching. I like both programs (outside of most of Raw) and I love certain guys from both companies. I’m tired of hearing people bash either if I’m being honest. The company war just isn’t appealing to me.
Evidently Zelina is the one who backed down from the unionization stuff. She’s deleted the tweet from last year about support unionization.
Well this isn’t good
The July 1 episode of IMPACT Wrestling drew a record-low rating on AXS TV, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.
IMPACT has drawn over 100,000 viewers consistently throughout 2021, but the July 1 show was only watched by 69,000 total viewers. This beat out the previous record low on AXS TV of 78,000 from the September 8, 2020 episode.

I feel bad for impact. They have some good storylines and content but people aren’t invested in their wrestlers. I still think Tony Khan should buy impact or NWA.
I've been enjoying Impact over the last few months. Apparently I am one of the few. It's probably still the highest rated thing on AXS TV.

If she tweeted it from the Tokyo Dome it would be six stars!
Yep. Can’t believe he gets to keep his job considering far better wrestlers and bigger stars were canned for this and for things less.
2011 - DUI - put on probation
2013 - violated probation
February 2019 - pulled over driving the wrong way on one way street, cop smelled alcohol, Jimmy got out of the car and took his shirt off threatening cops while they were talking to Naomi, arrested for disorderly conduct.
July 2019 - DUI - found not guilty but video shows he was definitely swerving and going 86 in a 45.
July 2021 - Another DUI
Dude needs help.

If he doesn't get fired for this it's only because of his family. He should be fired.
Jimmy only has a job because of his family ties.
Speaking of wrestlers in bad shape, I saw a pic of Lex Luger on Twitter a couple weeks back and it made me so sad. He’s back in a wheelchair and is so thin. Probably weighs 180lbs to 160lbs. It was at some type of meet and greet/signing thing. But he was smiling and seemed to be in a good mental state.
Its just crazy seeing people I grew up watching who was built like gods and now they’re frail and in wheelchairs at a relatively young age.

Steroids, painkillers, muscle relaxers, alcohol and a job that requires falling on your back 30 times a night for 300 nights a year will do that to a fella.
It’s sad when a wrestler dies at 60 and people think he was “old” for a wrestler.

I just figured he always had dementia as bat shit crazy as he was.
Yup this is true - worse than nfl players especially in the attitude era and before when people ate chair shots like crazy…
…makes you wonder if this covid 15 month era might preserve some time with some careers b/c of the reduced work load
Also Vince really likes this Eva Maria/sidekick thing so it’s gonna keep going I guess
