Wrestling thread

I love that AEW debuted Danhausen by having him appear underneath the ring and then just walking to the back. Not only that, as he’s walking to the back, 60% of the crowd was like “Who the F is that guy?” I don’t think they could’ve booked his debut any better. I hope they have him just randomly show up in different, unique settings over the next couple of months.

Danhousen scares me and intrigues me

He is basically like the wrestling version of Conan O’Brien. In fact, he pretty much said that his whole character was inspired by him.

I will be very curious to see how AEW books Danhausen. I feel like he should be given the Orange Cassidy treatment. Someone who likely won’t win any titles, but is still on TV almost every week.

The dude is a license to print money, and just like Orange Cassidy, he doesn’t have to always wrestle to get over. The gimmick is such that he can get over just by wacky vignettes.

AEW Dynamite: Beach Break 2022 was really Enjoyable overall!

Danhausen is All Elite! Very Nice, Very Evil! ;)

AEW Beach Bashdid a 1.1 million

According to Dave Meltzer, neither McMahon or Bruce Prichard are in charge on NXT creative. Shawn Michaels is actually head of NXT creative. All the booking and those new gimmicks you see on TV? Meltzer says those are ideas by Shawn Michaels.

Also, Meltzer says one idea being talked about is signing veteran wrestlers to six-week contracts for the purposes of working programs with young NXT talent while giving those veterans the ability to continue working independents.

There was also a bunch of NXT names WWE are apparently high on. Here they are.

Creed Brothers

LA Knight

Von Wagner

Xyon Quinn

Joe Gacy (Even though Michaels is the head of NXT creative, McMahon has final say, and he apparently specifically requested for Gacy to get pushed because he sees a ton in him)

That is not a good sign

A lot of those wrestlers are really good. LA Knight in particular is fantastic.

Rumble spoilers ahead. You’ve been warned.

Not that

I meamt Gacy being on Vince’s sights

I dunno, Gacy I think has something. He has this Bray Wyatt quality about him where he secretly seems very sinister. And on top of that, he seems to be a better wrestler than Bray Wyatt. He appears far more athletic.

Normally I hate DQ finishes, but that worked with Roman and Seth with the story they were telling.

I honestly would prefer Roman fighting Seth again at WrestleMania instead of Lesnar. I think that’s a more compelling match-up.

It’s Melina!

If it was Melina and Dana Brooke starting off, Batista would’ve lost his mind.

Man. Why you gotta do Melina dirty like that?

That feeling when Tamina is probably gonna last longer than Melina.

Man, eliminating Sasha Banks early is SUCH a terrible move.

I gotta say, eliminating Sasha and then putting Bianca in is kinda a smart booking move.

The duality of man

That bump Dana took looked rough
