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.

Perfection

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.

PWInsider

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.

Money money money money money Money
money money money

In two weeks I’ll be telling everybody about the whole story “

Asked he if signed an NDA, Goldberg said, “Let’s just say that.”

Two weeks you say; wonder if it’ll be a nothing burger and you’ll never hear about it again…

So for anyone that doesn’t read the article, he wasn’t happy with some things but can’t speak on it yet… As to the NDA, I imagine with TKO now running the show that’s going to be worse than ever, you thought Vince was bad, TKO is going to be worse, maybe no sex pest bullshit, but corporate bullshit… take the countering AEW’s weekend with NXT & SNME to cover all the time slots, TKO people, evil.

I would have loved for them to announce it in January and had a build up to it and do something like that, that I thought was maybe worthy of my career. Let’s just say they chose to do it with three weeks notice. It is what it is. It’s part of the package. It’s part of the meal you get dealt and I would be remiss in thinking I thought the meal would be different, but shame on me for thinking it would be different.”

I agree, it was way too rushed, this should have had a build to it, this whole week of shows was clearly tossed together and given 2-3 weeks build just to screw with All-In, IMO.

Also, Triple H and Undertaker and company still have their fuck WCW blinders on. Triple H loves '80s NWA, not '90s WCW. Look at how they did Sting, why would Goldberg be different?

Let’s just say I’m pissed off at the way that I went out. I put so much into it and I don’t feel the effort was reciprocated to put a stamp on what I accomplished. I’m not going to say I’m not ecstatic about the opportunity that I got. I was a WCW guy. I think it could have been done a little bit differently, that’s all. I’m happy with my performance and the setting, but could it have been better? Absolutely, it can always been better.”

He did put his all into it, I give him props for that, but I certainly hope he isn’t implying that GUNTHER held back, GUNTHER got a decent match out of a 60 year old man who has a minimal move set and cardio. I see he does agree with my belief being a WCW guy hurt him.

“There are a bout 100 things. I did three interviews. Three in six months. They cut me off 30 seconds into my speech. You don’t do that.”

NBC has airtime limits, although Peacock should have carried it, and it’s on WWE if they went long somewhere and your time got cut, hell in one part I didn’t quote he mentions being told something about it going online, maybe he just misread the situation. Besides, what’s the most WCW way you can go off the air… we’re out of time folks, tune in next week…

I also find it humorous how he kept saying I don’t bitch/I’m not bitching about it and this whole thing was a bitchfest.

Did he just make Bret Happy by retiring and then immediately shatter his heart saying he isn’t going anywhere?

Growing up in the deep south we were WCW people for most of that time, despite what people sometimes think today, Goldberg was super over in the '90s, today his move set, age, and general limitations of having barely learned the basics doesn’t fly, but back then, he was a fucking star for WCW. Guy deserved a retirement, and I’m glad it was done by giving it all he had in the tank and not phoning it in.

That being said, I’m still mad at him for destroying Raven and taking the US Title, that he didn’t even want.

The women really put their all into it, despite the lackluster advertising and poor booking of the division the show really turned out well for only two weeks build. WWE should really give them more to do, I would never push for another wrestling show, but I would happily push for an hour of programming specifically for them, maybe take RAW’s first hour on 3 hour days like WCW used to just recap the last week for the first hour of some 3 hour Nitro’s.

Oh yeah, and have a committee of former women’s wrestlers help the creative for them, they have Trish, Lita, Jacqueline, etc that could help shape the shows, as well as the active roster itself, somebody other than old white dudes should be given a chance, they can’t do worse.
