2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias.

Ok.......new idea. Revamp rampage. From now on, it's no longer a jobber showcase. It's a womens showcase. I want Brit. I want Thunderosa. I want Athena. I want Lady Frost. I want Veda Scott. I'm probably forgetting 20 women that also deserve praise. Oh! Marti Belle, and Jessica Kaye.
Does Awesome Kong still wrestle?
I think Rampage ends with 2024. Maybe for shockwave?
That tracks.
But I wish Shockwave would be a 1 hour show showcasing the contenders for the TNT championship. I'd also cancel Collision, and replace it with two different 1 hour shows. One showcasing the TBS championship contenders, the other showcasing the international championship contenders.
Yes, I AM saying they should have a 1 hour show, basically everyday, but each one is a different niche. And each one puts their best angles on Dynamite/PPVs. One A show, and several optional B shows.
To anyone who saw me today say here that Toni Storm is the best, I still stand by that.
........But Willow is also the best. And Mariah May is pretty great too. Amazing what happens when you have long term exposure, and in Mariah's case, long term story telling. Of coarse it also helps she's talented on her own, and was working with the best for a year.
We're very fortunate to live in a time where you can ask any wrestling fan "who is the best (active) wrestler in the world?" and you'll get a ton of different answers. I've lost count of how many "favorite" wrestlers I have currently.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm a product of my time. I grew up at a time when WWF had 1 weekly hour of TV that mattered. 45 minutes of that show were established talent squashing jobbers.
Then you'd get a final segment where Hogan comes out and usually has a non-finish to the match, with a strong finish for Hogan beating the bad guy.
Then the 90s happened, and we'd still get 60 minutes a week, except now they were trying to establish a lower midcard with non-steroid guys. Eventually that led to them taking Hogans spot when he left.
So in the 80s, "Who's your favorite wrestler?" "HOGAN!" I cannot remember a single person besides myself that liked Piper and Savage more than Hogan.
Then in the 90s, if you thought the whole twilight fangirling was pathetic (team jacob vs team edward.....thanks google), they got the blueprint from WWF. Are you team Bret, or team Shawn? There was no viable third answer.
Now? Who's your favorite wrestler?
hears thousands of people all screaming different names
And I don't even have a favorite now. It seems weird to me to pick a favorite in 2024. I was team Shawn btw.
For us when we were kids, it was definitely Hogan (though I'm still a Piper guy to this day *fist bump), but the adults that I watched wrestling with swore by Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes, so it was fairly diverse back then, too, despite the biggest spotlight being on Hogan.
Same. I got 3-5 favs at every damned company lmao
So much edging there. Swerve is gonna get so much heat if he ever turns on Nana
Swerve is playing hard to get. MVP has alot of business associates though so I don't think thats wise
KOR is a salty bitch
I'm racking my brain, trying to think who KOR is? My brain keeps defaulting to King of Ring but that can't be right.
I wonder where they are going with Mariah not winning with the Mayday anymore
Is Regal still signed to WWE? Now would be a great time to return.......also, where the fuck is Wheeler???
He is.
I took a shower during the bucks match......I came back, and Jericho/Brisco are on, entrences already done, match in progress.
I guess my showers are longer than I thought......
Have they ever said what the key on Shafir's necklace is for? Am I supposed to get it? I don't get it....
It's just a piece of jewelry, nothing to 'get' really.
Edit: Weird nonetheless tho lol
I feel like Ricochet is going to join the Don Callis family. Maybe not tonight, but Don is putting him over HARD.
Even though this match feels very thrown together, it's probably going to be match of the night.......and ALL the matches are thrown together tonight.
I love Jack Perry's new direction. Also, I think "The Wrestler" is the most generic create-a-wrestler unchanged default nickname. If it were a WWE game it would be "The Superstar".
Here's hologram, and mortos, and they betray hologram, and mortos turns heel.........and Jake Roberts also exists.......for some reason.
Wait......I just realized that Mercedes Mone wasn't on this card.....at all. Are her and Kamille just sitting at home not getting paid???
There was a backstage promo with them during the zero hour. So they were not home.
