Ok, what happened this past Friday? I missed out due to being busy.

 

Bayley ended up getting injured during training for her I Quit Women’s Title Match against Bianca Belair (out 9 months) so the match was pulled from the MITB card and it was announced by Sonya Deville during SmackDown that Carmella will be Bayley’s replacement in the title match against Bianca this Friday on SmackDown.

 

Varsity Blondes are now officially AEW Superstars

AEW Signs Another Star To Full-Time Contract

 

Oh, no... He had the best jumping pile driver in the business and a great feud with Hogan back in the 80's. RIP.

 

I'm trying to remember my childhood but didn't he have a minor feud with Hogan in the 80's?? Like they were buddy-buddy then Orndorff turn on Hogan?

Does anyone remember this or this never happened lol

 

I wasn’t watching wrestling at the time (I started around ‘89) but from what I’ve learned, that’s exactly what happened. Orndorff was Hogan’s friend but turned on him.

 

And like @UndertakerPrime mentioned, said feud as a result led to the main event of WrestleMania 1

 

I might be misremembering, but I recall Mr. Wonderful and Hogan having a BIG feud that lasted the better part of a year and then carried over after Wrestlemania. My memory is foggy that far out, but I recall that Hogan and Orndorff were good friends (a work, of course), but something happened where Hogan wasn't there for him, so Wonderful turned on him during a tag match against King Kong Bundy and Big John Stud. They went the whole nine with promos and had a steel cage match on Saturday Night's Main Event, and I believe they had a pose-off physique contest at one point.

BTW, I've enjoyed the A&E Bios more than anything that's currently happening in wrestling.

 

Yeah, I've gotten bored with Raw with the same matches over and over and oooveeerrrrrrrrrrrr again.
I'm skipping tonight's episode.

Edit: and Eva Marie is a complete joke, fire her ass now!!!

 

And take Charlotte with her!

 

The Hogan/Orndorff angle was one of the best. Great build up to Orndorff's heel turn. Back when storytelling mattered in wrestling. The cage match where both dropped to the floor at the same time, epic. Go on YouTube kids and look it up. RIP Mr. Wonderful.

 

I was shocked when Xavier Woods pinned Lashley. I believe things is coming to the end of MVP being Lashley protégé.

 

Apparently as of last night Mandy Rose moved back to NXT while Aliyah has been called up to RAW

 

Just got my ticket for AEW in queens NY. Directly facing the ring and stage. First section of bleachers 10 rows up

 

Congrats!

 

Cool! You gotta have a sign saying TFW or something and let us know to look out for you lol.

(Thinking about does AEW even allow signs??)

 

Man, that crowd was so hot tonight. It made the great week that much better.

Yes. There were quite a few signs in the crowd tonight. Mostly at the beginning.

 

They definitely do, so I’m also in favor of a “TFW2005 Represent” sign when you’re there or something like that @solarstorm

 

More shortened names.
Shotzi Blackheart will now be known as just Shotzi.
And rumor is Tegan Nox will be renamed Nox.

Personally, I think the IWC forgets that shortening names is not a new phenomenon. WWF was even doing it back during the Golden Age; examples include Pat Tanaka, Luke Williams, Butch Miller, and Hercules Hernandez. However, I also think current WWE takes it too far. Shotzi Blackheart is a good descriptive name that gives you some idea into her character; taking away the last name removes some of the mystique. Riddle is just a fucking stupid name by itself. I was fine with Otis and Tucker having single names while they were in a tag team, but a singles star named just Otis is silly.

I’ll stop there so I don’t end up writing an essay…

 

So funny story about signs @ taped wrestling shows but I went to a Raw show back in '98 or '99 (iirc) in San Jose and I made an inappropriate sign that said "Lick my b@llz" as it was a saying in my Hs that was an inside joke/saying amongst my friends. Anyways I believe it made it on TV but within the show some producer or whatever came up to me and my friends and grabbed my sign and gave us a very stern warning that's not allowed PERIOD!.! Now I was shook and apologized blah,blah,blah!

Now what some ppl might not know is back then they will tape Raw then Sunday night Heat and after the previous warning from my sign,my friend made a sign that said "Today is Monday" and someone came and grabbed his sign and once again gave us another warning! Luckily it wasn't the same producer or security/whatever but that memory always cracks me up. It's "Sunday night Heat" but there's a sign that says "Today is Monday" LOL
