The Wrestling Watcher

@BustedOpenRadio @_denisesalcedo I actually think Top Dollar ended up being one of the better heels today. He’s a valuable part of TNA and I think he still has a bright future.

🧠Now this is outside the box & Screams MONEY MONEY MONEY💵 @_denisesalcedo reacts tonight at 11p ET on #BOAD See you then on #ProWrestlingNation247 Ch. 156📻

@Youngy54 People say that Austin’s heel turn didn’t work, but I thought it was very entertaining. Truthfully, it should have went to WM18 where Stone Cold faces Triple H for the belt and then he turns face after. Domino effect might have kept Austin from walking out a few months later.

I fucking love some heel Stone Cold. This mini feud with Spike over RAW and SmackDown that week was great stuff.

@TheOVW5 I always thought Show and Brock had really good chemistry. I really liked their string of matches in 03.

Brock Lesnar and Big Show fight off air on Raw (2017) This was probably the last time these 2 physically interacted in WWE.

@16barsgame Lil Wayne’s 2005-2011 was a pretty special run.

Be honest… What rapper had the best “you had to be there” run?

@TheLapsedFan @GreatBrianLast The Rock should also be in this discussion! Even though he had a rocky start (no pun intended), he seemed to have it all.

@TheLapsedFan Hulk really was a can’t miss prospect. The size, the speaking ability (even here) and the athletic ability was all the makings for a superstar. Truly, besides Brock Lesnar, were there any other obvious can’t miss prospects in wrestling? @GreatBrianLast

This is massive. As discussed on the latest episode of The Complete Hulk Hogan, we believe this is the first time Hulk ever uttered the phrase "Hulkamania" in a televised interview. It aired Sept. 27, 1980, and was taped Sept. 10, 1980. The idea that "Hulkamania" was first deployed as an obnoxious heel phrase from a vainglorious Hogan - and not after Rocky III as part of his face turn - blew our minds. So Hulkamania was running wild in 1980, and the fans hated it! Here Hogan also hints at magazine and TV offers coming in. We wonder, is this the earliest hint at Stallone's interest in him? We're pretty sure we know what magazine he's talking about - more on that on an upcoming episode of The Complete. Amazingly, Hogan also predicts here that he'll be the superhero of the 1980s - and it's said in a way that fans are expected to scoff at, not believe in. At first, Hulkamania was not supposed to be something the fans got behind. Quite the opposite. Accept this reality.

@Rayxeets Do you think every UFC fighter that fought at the White House was a Trump supporter?

and Hypocrite cm punk will wrestle there

@davebftv Who’s Tremaine Edwards? This is obviously a Bears offensive player’s ballot and he mixed up TJ and Trumaine.

One NFL player had Bears QB Caleb Williams and TE Colston Loveland in the top 20 for the NFL Top 100 Williams at No. 9 and Loveland at No. 18

@IANdrewDiceClay This is where Paul gets to use all the new corporate buzzwords he learned from Nick Khan

Oh this will be brutal. Heyman sitting down with someone who wont challenge him? Just get the lie counter out now.

@WrestleOps @WrestleVotes @FightfulSelect

CM Punk is reportedly scheduled to play a significant role at SummerSlam 2026. (@WrestleVotes Radio on @FightfulSelect)

@heelmatt79 How he should have been introduced: Sting confronts Bret, “who’s the real world champion?” Sting v Bret @ Nitro, nWo interferes since those 2 would be their top enemies from Starrcade. Jan PPV, Sting/Bret over Outsiders Keep Bret against heels, nWo or have Benoit turn on Bret.

Comes in as a babyface fresh off hating America & never really got a chance to explain that.They expected the screwjob to do the heavy lifting & it was a good jumping off point as any but he needed that promo Saves Sting from getting screwed but he wasn’t screwed Also…..Hogan

@prowrestletimes Forbidden Door is the 2019 Saudi shows WWE used to put on. They really don't mean much, you don't have to watch it, and nothing really matters going into it or coming out of it. Dave can blame it on whatever, but angles and storylines get crowds invested and this show was cold.

Dave always blames the audience. Yes the crowd was shit, but they're supposedly these high IQ, rich, ultra-AEW fans who are smarter than everyone else etc. The crowd stunk because the show was boring.

@uscfan981 Jeff belongs on there and maybe Christian too.

Y’all agree?

@WrestlePurists This is a good move for TNA. OVW will give people TV experience & Al is a good trainer. Can TNA select talent for their vision of a star? They're in the middle as they're not known for having best in-ring workers, but they also dont have a lot of body guys Time to pick a lane

TNA and Ohio Valley Wrestling are working towards an agreement that would see OVW become essentially a developmental system for TNA.  That agreement is set to be signed very soon. (PWInsider)

@wrestleclipsalt Hearing those lyrics the first time Kidman came out...

My favorite thing is when people act like Scott Steiner wasn’t freaking huge before he became Big Poppa Pump. #WCW96

@Jobber_Kingdom @MikeTheRebel23 You don't think wrestlers can see the black ropes? Why could every promotion use black ropes throughout the late 90s and 00s? The reason why WWE moved to white ropes is because Kevin Dunn liked how it looked with HD camera betters. Don't make up stuff.

@IsThisAWork @MikeTheRebel23 Black ropes which wrestlers cannot see is NOT something that should return bro

I miss when AEW felt and looked like an alternative wrestling product

Corny sure had a way of addressing Babydoll. #JCP86 @TheJimCornette

@itokaytobesus I actually think Seth does enough subtle things to update his look through the years. You could look at random photos of Taker, Rock, HHH, Hulk, Punk, even Orton, & be pretty close at saying which year that photo is from. Its a lost art and I'm sure Mattel isn't happy about it.

@IsThisAWork Seth put a glove on that one time

One thing that’s been lost, is how guys would change their look year to year. Even Goldberg did a little update from 03-04 with a beard. It was normal for new gear, logo, haircut, etc Besides Punk, doesn’t it feel like everybody still looks the same over the last 5 years? #Raw04

I think Moxley has been watching too much Joker in Dark Knight....
