The Wrestling Discussion Thread

Ali/Ethan was put together last minute but they had a segment together at least & really sold the purpose of the match, Ali reminded us of how he was released just when he was expected to win the NA title and how he has come back for the shot he earned & evoked the desperation to end his curse, we saw that in the match, while Ethan continues to generate traditional heat consistently and use his ring generalship in sneaky ways to stand his ground. This is why I follow anything Shawn’s involved with, it’s dev inherently but we get this too when he really flexes his muscles, excellent match, beautifully produced, Shawn/Ali have a great relationship to and Shawn played a big part in reinventing Ali.

Did you guys catch AJ's post-match promo on RAW? Where he basically said that this match doesn't need a story because it's life or whatever. Felt like something straight out of the H playbook. And then he even had the commentators constantly saying that the fans wanted this match and we gave it to them...as if we should be grateful to Almighty H for giving us one match that any booker with even a couple of brain-cells would have booked months ago, and with an actual build.

Need an AJ Punk feud. The two have never feuded on tv.

Man just watched Ali vs Ethan Page, this match makes me proud to be Pakistani; Ali wrestled like he has a death wish, hope he’s ok. Outstanding booking & Ethan has been consistently so good. Such a creative match, MOTY candidate for sure, go out of your way to watch this guys @RedwoodOriginal

He almost overshot that dive out of the ring and flew into the crowd lmao. Is he Pakistani origin? Thought he was Saudi. Maybe I’m confusing him with that other wrestler who is similar to him.
 
On his podcast, The Undertaker claimed he'd never use his backstage power in WWE to help his wife Michelle McCool.
But former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. dropped a story that makes that claim... rest in peace.
Here’s what Freddie said:
“I have Michelle losing the Divas Championship at the Royal Rumble which happens a few months before WrestleMania and I have her losing with dignity and I have her giving us a real match. I’ve been in the company maybe four months, I didn’t realise the belt meant so much to so many different people – it didn’t mean that much to others, if they had the Intercontinental Title belt they weren’t really in on when they were gonna lose it or not.”
“[…] I go to work, somewhere in the arena, backstage and Michelle comes up to me and says ‘Stephanie says you want to talk to me about the women’s storyline.’ We sit down in the cafeteria off to the side, and I start pitching to her what it’s gonna be. It wasn’t right on my part. I get to the Royal Rumble and I explain to her that the suggestion is that she drops the title at the Royal Rumble and then I keep telling the story of where it finishes because she deserves to know the whole story.”
“It gets all the way to WrestleMania which would be Beth and Kia [Kharma] and her face just goes pale. All the colour just drops right out of her skin and right away I know I’ve done something terrible. I just don’t know what is it yet because this is hindsight and I was in the moment. So I go ‘what’s wrong?’ and her eyes well up and I’m like ‘what did I do? What did I do?’ and she said ‘I didn’t think I’d be losing the belt before WrestleMania. […] She was upset, and in hindsight, rightfully so.”
“So here I am with the champion and she’s crying because of me because I didn’t talk to her first to say ‘hey we’re thinking of taking the title off of you at the Royal Rumble so we can get this other – that just sounds horrible even saying it now.”
“So I screwed up, before I got the story approved I probably should have shown it to her although when you hear the end of the story it probably would have gotten killed even sooner. I don’t know what the right move was here but I know I screwed up and she deserved better than that.”
“[Hayes told me] ‘Freddie there’s a problem with your diva’s storyline and we need to talk about it.’ He goes ‘it’s gone.’ I go ‘what do you mean it’s gone man?’ And he goes ‘it’s gone.’ I said ‘what happened?’ He goes ‘well Michelle said that you and her talked and she didn’t really like the story so it’s gone.'”
“He goes ‘Freddie, she talked to Undertaker, Undertaker talked to Vince, the story’s gone.”
And if you’re still in doubt, remember this:
His previous wife Sara pinned DDP clean in the middle of the ring.
That’s a 3-time WCW World Champion.
Pinned by Taker’s non-wrestler wife.

He's half Pakistani half Indian.
The one you're talking about is Mansoor.

No need to mention Indian, if you’re going there all of us are prior to the partition, Mustafa Ali doesn’t recognise himself as Indian in that way.

Yeah he’s Pakistani, even when he first came up in the curser-weight classic as a back up when someone got injured (only then racist H gave him a shot), he wrestled under the Pakistani flag in an international themed tournament & he doesn’t have any Indian habits, e.g. going quiet about issues which concern the Ummah in general etc

That was insane lol I thought he might have broken his neck but it made for such a dramatic finish, he used to have bangers like these every week before the H/TKO regime, what a match though, he has that edge to him, always wrestling with a chip on his shoulder, you just don’t get that now from a lot of performers.

Literally nobody has a bad word to say about Taker & now some low lives are coming out the woods over meaningless rubbish, he’s the last guy to talk crap about
