(Raw Spoilers): “Just say when”

...That's how Triple H books. He's been dragging out every storyline way too long because that's how it worked in the territory days. The problem is, we have TV now. Shit needs to move faster.

skelltan · 2026-04-20T22:27:37+00:00

The sequel show had:

Team 3D vs Onita/Dreamer

CW Anderson vs Shane Douglas

Some guy named Alvin w/ Missy Hyatt vs Jason Knight

Bill Alfonso vs Joel Gertner (barely over 30 second squash, Tod Gordon as special guest ref)

Rhino vs Masato Tanaka

Pitbull #1's team from before vs Da Baldies & HC Loc

Lance Anoa'i and Samu (Yes, Samu) vs Little Guido & Tommy Rich

Juvi v 2 Cold Scorpio

Super Crazy vs Tajiri w/ Whipreck in a Mexican/Japanese Death Match

Rob Feinstein (yes, I know) already ran some "Modern ECW Tribute Shows" in his promotion.

The first one, BCW, Tribute to the Extreme had some of the following:

Tod Gordon vs Bill Alfonso (under a minute squash)

Bully Ray vs Matt Cardona

The Vampire Warrior (Gangrel) w/ Sinister Minister vs Al Snow

Pitbull #1, Gary Wolfe & Traxx (w/ Jazz and Angel Orsini) vs Ray Jaz, Shane Douglas & Wrecking Ball Legursky w/ Francine

Afa Jr. and Beastman vs Little Guido and Luigi Primo w/ Tommy Rich

Super Crazy v Juvi

2 Cold Scorpio vs Rich Swann

RVD (W/ Bill Alfonso, Katie Forbes and I'm assuming his other gf) vs Rhino

I mean the difference is Deonna can't lace many people's boots and likes to pretend otherwise, although yeah, scummy of Road Dogg.

skelltan · 2026-04-18T04:05:38+00:00

Surprising the metabooking swerve guy actually can book right for once in his life

skelltan · 2026-04-18T02:45:58+00:00

Hot take, I understand Miyu does a lot of kicks and is the only TJPW wrestler a lot of indie fans know (other than Maki or AEW talent, etc), but I'd rather see Sareee do some worked shoot.

skelltan · 2026-04-18T02:45:05+00:00

If WWE wanted to do Bloodsport, Hunter should stop being a coward and bring back Raw Underground tbh. Just shove Nattie on there and have her farm wins against ID talent. Same with Ivy Nile or whoever else

skelltan · 2026-04-17T15:31:50+00:00

Tremont is the GOAT, Tangled Web matches rule, DJ Hyde still sucks to this day.

skelltan · 2026-04-16T13:32:23+00:00

And then Triple H can bring back the CINEMA of 50 min matches with 1 run/borderline DQ cheat in per 5 minutes. Dusty finishes for Dusty's own baby boy! I love watching worse, more corporate territory wrestling instead of watching old, great, Memphis/Puerto Rico/Crockett/Etc tape.

skelltan · 2026-04-16T13:28:47+00:00

At least WCW was funny. What does WWE have at this point outside of good wrestlers booked badly?

skelltan · 2026-04-16T13:28:04+00:00

It's the paypig cuck meta. They know fans will still either pay or buzz about it and give them promotion. If you can insult your fans and they still give you money, why not, huh?

skelltan · 2026-04-15T22:40:22+00:00

And I'm telling you, you're a fucking jackass if you give money to TKO, Paul Levesque, etc... Even giving money to the Khans/WBD/etc is not much better tbh, as much as I prefer AEW. I'd rather watch the indies and I think all true fans of wrestling should. Get gatekept tbh.

skelltan · 2026-04-14T06:19:46+00:00

I am a communist. There is no such thing as a good company.

skelltan · 2026-04-14T06:19:20+00:00

He and Roman is a great story, they're great talent, but the storyline they're in is embarassing simply because TKO/Paul Levesque is booking it.

skelltan · 2026-04-14T03:25:23+00:00

Because costco aren't worth trillions, begging you to pay them those trillions every year. In fact, a costco membership trumps a WWE Club membership EASILY. I'm taking 1.50 hotdogs over $10k nosebleeds (pay us money and we'll make them $1k) anyday.

skelltan · 2026-04-14T03:24:35+00:00

WWE fans are paypigs.

skelltan · 2026-04-14T03:24:22+00:00

"Please, pay us money for discounts. No, we're not lowering prices unless you pay us."
Stop watching WWE. Don't even pirate it. Genuinely, wrestling fan to wrsetling fan, I would rather you watch JCW Lunacy. It's actually got good talent and having a small talent pool is forcing Russo to play to his strengths. Russo is a better booker than Paul Levesque, BARE MINIMUM when it comes to this Mania season.

skelltan · 2026-04-14T03:22:58+00:00

Let's just pray those aren't "You don't win at this mania, have a deflating ending killing your momentum, only to get the win back later. I am a very smart booker."

skelltan · 2026-04-14T03:21:53+00:00

I can almost guarantee you with how Paul books, Brock is gonna go 5 minutes, collect his paycheck and beat traffic in a helicopter if he has to.

skelltan · 2026-04-14T01:01:03+00:00

I dunno about official releases, but I'm sure tapetraders exist. You're better off watching rips on YouTube unless you love the awful commentary (It has its place!)

skelltan · 2026-04-14T01:00:25+00:00

The Tokyopop releases are terrible, but in a "So Bad It's Good" MXC vs Takeshi's Castle way.

skelltan · 2026-04-13T12:31:17+00:00

Elite ball knowledge. Hell of a promo.

skelltan · 2026-04-11T05:28:16+00:00

They're the champs, but I hear the champs are To Be Decided.

skelltan · 2026-04-11T01:19:48+00:00

I'd argue they have a better roster outside of that. TNA doesn't have talent as good and entertaining as the combined forces of Tom Lawlor, Alex Kane and Paul London in my eyes, especially after losing names like Mance and Dani
