General Wrestling V: As Good As Or Will Exceed Wrestlemania

[Melena]

This weeks BTE had a couple of taped matches they did at one of the Buck's houses before California further clamped down on it's stay at home order. Got SCU vs Peter Avalon and Brandon teaming up to try to end their losing streak, and Bucks vs Jobbers in a good match that may be planting the seeds of a Nick vs Matt singles match.

Really nice summary of the Firefly Funhouse match for anyone confused by Canadian indy wrestler Jay Walker.

It was basically John Cena going through the Human Instrumentality Project lol.

Big Show heel turn #392726.

So they hype up all show the big shocking events that happened after WM ended and it ends up being Drew beating Big Show? Wow how shocking and exciting.

[Xno Kappa]

Thank god Drew won. Was legit worried they were gonna put the belt on Big Show to promote his Netflix sitcom lol.

[Tyrath]

Jesus isn't Big Show's show promo even say hes retired? Can we move on?

[Nitsuki]

BTE matches were a ton of fun to watch.

High Spots is streaming their Bruiser Brody doc at 7 PM Eastern. Supposed to be really good.

I just finally watched the New Jack episode from Dark Side of the Ring. How the fuck has no one put a bullet in New Jack yet will forever boggle my mind.

Rhea Ripley was forced to go back to Australia due to her visa expiring. She'll be off TV for a few weeks at least at this point.

EDIT: Apparently not. She posted on social media that she is still in the states.

Personally I loved how all his stories started with “MAN I WAS HIGH AS SHIT” lmao

[Xno Kappa]

I hate people like New Jack. They do shit to people they know they can get away with. Imagine if he had done that to anyone in BSK or the Kliq? They gladly would’ve gave his ass a similar receipt.

According to Wrestlezone and Wrestletalk, Goldberg lobbied to beat the fiend for the title because he felt losing would diminish him in the eyes of kids, and then had no issues dropping the title to Braun as he wasn't going to wrestle for the rest of 2020.

[Tyrath]

The same guy who "reported" that also put out these tweets

I don't personally know if either of those Goldberg reports are true, but imagining they are, it's pretty alarming to think WWE would let him dictate THAT much of their plans right at the top of the card.

Guys, hold your horses on the Goldberg stuff

Far be it from me to sling mud at anyone's reports... but it's unfair that I'm seeing Goldberg get a lot of hate for something that's far from fact, it's a report

I haven't written it up on talkSPORT for a reason, I'll say that much

The state of wrestling "journalism" might be worse than gaming journalism

NXT holding a tournament to crown an Interim Cruiserweight champion due to Jordan Devlin being stuck in Ireland due to travel restrictions. Something also expected to happen with the tag titles due to Dunne also being in the UK.

[Krandor]

Meltzer is the only thing remotely resembling a real journalist in the wrestling world.

[Melena]

That is true. I mainly posted it as I still can't wrap my head around who thought it was a good idea to squash Bray/Fiend like that, as it essentially made a bunch of the roster, including Seth look like little bitches.

[Snprphnx]

New episode of Dark Side of the Ring is about the 1998 Brawl for All. Its pretty good.

[Krandor]

iirc Tyson Fury is the current lineal Brawl for All champ
