Definetly worth a watch this. Finale is next week about the Fabulous Moolah

How long before Renee has to do humiliating skits on TV for Vince once the hubby turns up on AEW screen.

Apparently Vince routinely tells her to shut up through the headset.

Don't think he's a fan of gender quotas.

Poor Becky’s ma. Or maybe poor Becky’s ma’s husband. She was certainly a stunner in her day from the few pictures that are out there, very like Becky. Still a very attractive older woman but she’s probably mortified by the attention.

Anyone else think she looks like Anne Doyle?

I think he had his tongue firmly planted in cheek with that caption.

He's not someone who should use social media as cool as his clips are he's admitted this year to be suffering with depression & when you are in the spotlight it's best to stay back from public media. He's also someone I've seen being criticised for his style by people who I imagine have never seen him wrestle outside of 30 second clips so is well aware of that criticism.
Fwiw I saw it earlier & didn't take any offence but others will, I'd guess.

J. Marston · 11-05-2019 2:59pm

Stupid shíte but that's just my opinion.

CastorTroy · 15-05-2019 6:44pm

I know we've talked about shortening names before, but I just noticed on 205 Live, though I'm sure it's been the case on NXT UK, that El Ligero is just Ligero.

Agent Coulson · 18-05-2019 1:40pm

Knowing how petty Vince is I'm surprised he didn't put on a surprise PPV on May 26th the night of Double or Nothing.

He had plenty of time to arrange it.

CastorTroy · 18-05-2019 4:28pm

Give it time. Probably a network special announced during the week

leggo · 18-05-2019 10:23pm

To be fair, why do people find it petty when WWE do that stuff but great when NJPW and the indies invade wherever Mania is? NJPW/ROH are running Toronto for SummerSlam weekend now.

The 2019 G1 finals are on that weekend for 3 straight nights so not quite running Toronto

Went from New Japan & ROH to now including NWA & CMLL too. Wow I wonder who is prioritising that show. :rolleyes:

Two clips from Becky's 24 special. Nice moment with Vince...

https://streamable.com/1f7hq

And being angry (justifiably!) about not getting a doll...

https://streamable.com/syrzz

Itssoeasy · 20-05-2019 2:29pm

Was just going to post about Beckys WWE 24 episode. Yeah that doll clip of her when they presented charlotte and Sasha with theirs and Beckys sitting there like a spare at a wedding and not looking happy at all. It seems vince triple h and Stephanie all really like Becky. The only crappy part was her revealing her dad was diagnosed with lung cancer.

montyrebel · 20-05-2019 4:29pm

the **** is wrong with vinces face in that 1st clip, its scarier than brays new mask

I thought that as well watching the documentary. It’s a good watch. Becky always comes across as such a nice, genuine person. And her family all do too, hopefully her Dad fights through his illness. Also if she and Seth hadn’t gone public before this they’d have had to after it!

PTH2009 · 21-05-2019 4:20pm

If u win a title in wwe do u get a replica too bring home and then u use the 'real' one for appearances/events etc??

Thought I heard theres different version of each belts for TV tapings and live events

seandotcomm · 21-05-2019 5:13pm

WWE: "There's nothing quite like Wrestlemania"

also WWE "What's as good as, or better than Wrestlemania?...... $uper $howdowwwwn!"

Feck right off Vince

Lithium93_ · 21-05-2019 8:49pm

14 WWE employees have already held a title similar to the 24/7 Championship due to them winning Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship for Japanese wrestling promotion DDT Pro Wrestling.

Well going on what I’ve seen of wrestlers houses it seems a lot of them have the titles they won(not necessarily the actual belt they won) displayed in the house. I think Austin did get to keep one of the actual title belts he won.

And yeah there’s a TV belt that the TV crew supposedly keep just for it.

Yeah they give them a replica to bring on the house show circuit, the talent is allowed to keep that once they lose the title.

TV belts are separate .

When you say replica I think it's fair to point out that it's a bit more than a WWEshop.com replica belt. You'd hope so anyway.

Itssoeasy · 22-05-2019 10:24pm

Also not trying to bring the mood of the forum down more so reminding myself and others who long we've been watching wrestling and how old I am. Owen hart died TWENTY years ago tomorrow. I mean I have vivid memories of the day after being in school and then walking into merchants quay shopping centre here in cork and reading one of the newspapers and seeing it covered in the sun or the star. I'd never seen a WWF story covered in a newspaper here before that.

CastorTroy · 22-05-2019 10:53pm

I missed that era. Think I had seen as far as Owen becoming King of Harts

Imagine all the replicas if all the 24/7 winners got one.

John Pollock did a good audio documentary on the last day of Owens life.
Jericho is doing a podcast about him with Meltzer too which should be interesting.

CastorTroy · 23-05-2019 1:24pm

With the recent documentaries on Viceland, as well as the new Wrestlers series, I'm surprised they haven't started showing any of the wrestling shows.

Found this lengthy read of the accident scrolling through Twitter earlier.

Ha that Hornswoggle thing is funny

Wtf are they are doing with Allister Black in wwe. So much potential coming up and then Vince prob had a senior moment and decided hes not good enough. I'd say guys will almost want too stay in NXT til Triple H takes full main roster control

His run on the Independents as Tommy End > his WWE run.

J. Marston · 24-05-2019 3:51pm

They should start a feud where he catches Orton with Black Mass over and over again, building it as the new RKO that can be hit from "outta nowhere!"

sky88 · 24-05-2019 3:55pm

i know ive said it before on here but hes so overrated in his independent or wwe career

Itssoeasy · 25-05-2019 12:02am

I’m watching Austin vs undertaker from judgement day 2001 and it’s occurred to me that for two of the best ever individually they NEVER seemed to gel when one on one.

Necro · 25-05-2019 6:17am

Jaysus lads, I love that ye still have enthusiasm for the product. I just can't watch it anymore, I find everything just terrible at the moment. Taking a break till Summerslam at least, I've never in almost 20 years of watching had less motivation to watch WWE. Completely and utterly jaded with the absolute rancid booking of the majority of the roster.

Peace out for a while, if I keep following the threads I'll just end up ranting negatively and I don't want to be THAT guy either.

CastorTroy · 25-05-2019 11:49pm

Is there a reason they don't seem too keen to let us know the names of the backstage interviewers in WWE these days?
Like she's appeared a few times now and I don't think anyone has said new Renee's full name. It's Sarah Schreiber according to wiki.
There are others appearing and think Kayla is the only one I hear frequently referred to by name

Agent Coulson · 26-05-2019 10:42am

It really is fcuking nuts that both Brandi and Dustin can use the Rhodes name yet Cody can't.

All about copyright Dustin was Rhodes in wcw well before he got to wwe and Brandi was like Eden or something in wwe were Cody debuted as rhodes

Oh I know it just copyright and it's also Vince being petty again.

Don’t think it’s petty at all just in his rights to do so.

Omackeral · 26-05-2019 1:33pm

Would anyone else agree that it's gone very quiet around these parts as of late? Is that to do with WWE being sh*t recently? Are people gone to Squared Circle on Reddit perhaps or elsewhere? Is it Boards in general that's the issue? Maybe it's just me but not as much life around PW Boards as there once was.

I think it’s definitely product related a lot of people just seem a bit meh with wrestling at the minute.

It has gone a bit quiet here, I know I'm jumping about from here to Squared Circle from time to time, but like sky88 said, it's all down to product, WWE haven't given us a reason to tune in on a weekly basis, or anything to sink our teeth into, couple that with the unease of their decade long partnership with the Saudi's.

Also probably busy lives.

Insect Overlord · 26-05-2019 2:54pm

I remember a time when each weekly episode of Raw had its own thread, and PPVs had separate threads for before, during and after the show. Raw going to 3 hours didn't help, or the PPVs going way over 3 hours now.

A few prolific posters here have closed their accounts too, and while I'm sure some of them must have come back with new names, the product isn't encouraging them to post as often as they used to.
