I prefer the original but get why they would want to reclaim their song from that asshole. I think I would have removed the Benoit opening guitars in any remix/redux/etc to just get rid of him completely.

Yeah but he’s a white foreigner, that’s different… but you know, it’s totally not racism…
I don’t necessarily mourn the person, I do mourn the character, I mourn what that character meant for professional wrestling, Hulkamania catapulted wrestling into what we know today, helped bring about Mania, the nWo leads and the Monday Night Wars, that gets us the Attitude Era, which leads to wrestling being a cultural phenomenon we’ll likely never see again. I mourn that, I truly do.
Yet… Hogan made a career out of telling people to be moral All-American people, behind the scenes he was a union buster, complicit in a steroid scandal, held up others for his own gain, helped destroy a company he knew nothing about, turned out to be a racist and when he was finally allowed to return it’s reported he was telling people not he was sorry just don’t get caught on camera, his daughter quit talking to him because he only wanted a relationship on his terms, he went full Trump, all around he was not upholding the principles of Hulkamania. As a human I mostly find him distasteful, but not to go full on like some did today, Holy Beelzebub I dislike a some of you today even if I understand the sentiment.
Andrew screwed himself with that TV interview, he could likely have weathered it by keeping his mouth shut and just issuing a statement similar to what Donald says, I knew him, found out he was a creep and tossed him out of Mar-a-Lago. I seem to remember at one point an attorney for Guilffre claimed that had he not said he didn’t know or meet her in that TV interview there wouldn’t have been a lawsuit.
So if he’s seething, it’s his own damn fault.
Have B-B-B-** SLAP ** Buh Buh Ray do all the work, man that’ll be a reverse of the old Dudley Boyz. I kid, I kid… or not.
I can only assume appearances by some ECW people, Rhino and Dreamer are my guesses, because this is going to need to be overbooked with Matt and D’Von limited and Bubba and Jeff aren’t spring chickens.
I’m a little saddened by the fact WWE and TNA are together and that pretty much precludes an appearance of any kind from Edge and Christian, especially with D’Von retiring.
This is great, I’m still waiting on one with stick figures though.
It’s a good idea, match ratings are subjective anyway, shit Dave says is the greatest ever I’d disagree with, shit he says sucked I’d disagree with, wrestling is wrestling, some sucks, some is great, nobody has a right to tell you what to enjoy whether it’s Dave or CageMatch users. All that to say, Cage Match is a great resource, but it’s ratings are just opinions, not facts, watch the shows form your own opinions people.
Yes I know, there’s only so much wrestling you can watch, in that case you do you.
AEW is the size it is because it’s backed by a Billionaire, run by his Billionaire son, and they had contacts and knew people in the Media industry that got them the best foot in the door TV contract available for a wrestling company. TNA has a penny pinching media company in charge, cannot seem to find a TV deal outside their owned station, and regularly pisses off business partners… TNA, which I enjoy, isn’t going any fucking where close to AEW numbers short of Billionaire Ted’s ghost leaving them everything… and Ted ain’t dead.
Bischoff and Russo are about on par for the fucking crazy they spew.
As a side note, Ted Turner has a bad form of dementia even if he wanted to he couldn’t get back in the wrasslin’ business, it’s really sad.
Lucifer ain’t ready for this house guest.
Him and Sabbath are in regular rotation around here, his farewell concert festival was cool, not an audible masterpiece, but so fucking cool because we knew he wasn’t well.
Good for him, bad for bars. He’ll be soiling himself in a Tampa bar quite soon, servers get ready.
It’s never going to draw, so it’s not big enough for actual PPV, Netflix learned the hard way he wasn’t popular with his WWE appearance and aren’t going to touch it, hell it’s right where it needs to be, on the network that platforms others just like Hogan and it’s an audience he can spread his red, white, and blue brand to in hopes they float his show for a bit. Although, I still think it’s a scam of some sort, and yes I’ll probably repeat that every time this comes up.
Maury better get his camera man working on cardio, so he can chase one of them down the hall during the big reveal.
Ok, I’m tired of the WWE-TNA relationship now, it’s entirely one sided, yeah it might bring eyes to TNA, but it’s making TNA and their workers look inferior when the TNA Title holders are NXT people. Maybe I’m just annoyed and will change my mind later, but damn do I not like this.
Edit: I’m glad AJ came out with a TNA theme song, I’m ok if he never uses it again, but maybe for his TNA HoF induction assuming they are still around when he’s ready to enter.
Record profits and screwing your employees, what an iconic duo. Bastards.
If this money keeps them operating, good for them. Although I hope this doesn’t lead to tons of advertising like WWE does.
I’m disappointed though because at first I thought they were getting a new video game. Wonder if WWE would make a TNA pack for 2k26 or whatever year is next in that line.
Interesting, there must be a slight delay in Piefed and Lemmy Zip’s talking to one another, because I checked for this before I made my comment in the other thread. I guess that’s good to know.
Again, I think it’s a tax scheme of some kind, this isn’t a real sporting company that can go anywhere. Good for Kurt grabbing a pay day if it happens I guess, If it were me it’d need to be one heck of a payday.
I tend to agree, but there is a part of me believes they want it to happen and fail. I wonder about their tax liabilities and what they will get to write off if this fails, and I also wonder about event insurance, if it fails do they still get paid.
Why Kurt, Why?
Kurt Angle has joined Hogan’s Real American Freestyle as a commentator… guess the man has bills to pay.
Tampa, FL (July 17, 2025) – Real American Freestyle, the new, unscripted freestyle wrestling organization, today announced that the legendary Kurt Angle will serve as live event commentator, analyst, and partner for the burgeoning brand – joining Chael Sonnen and Bubba Jenkins for RAF01 on August 30 in Cleveland, OH at the Wolstein Center. Tickets for the company’s inaugural event are on-sale now via Ticketmaster.
I considered making this a topic, but really this is more a blurb about pro-wrestler Kurt Angle returning to real wrestling as a commentator. I mean if he’s just grabbing that bag for the event, go for it, I am still skeptical they are going to have this low ticket selling event at all.
It’s a shame that he no longer likes hearing “Get Ready to Fly” and says he never wants to use it again. I’d love to see that happen one day and this would have been perfect. Assuming he does make an appearance that is.
Damn, and they just got the Juice back and were on tv again.
