PWD PWD 1200: Vengeance Day is Coming

[Jonathan Utah]

Dynamite is the only wrestling show on TV, don’t need to wait 30 minutes before a match starts. Levesque is absolutely a much much better Booker though

 

[Pittie Petey]

@Pliny Pete Did Battle of the Belts II air live anywhere? 2/14 is technically the debut of the Big Gold Belt but it wasn't on TBS until 2/22.

Didnt it air live or same day in syndication, I think it did, thats also the show where Ric Flair uses Easy Lover by Phil Collins as his entrance music for some strange reason LoL

Timestamped at 1 hour 39 minutes

I always loved that green robe with all the plumage on it, its so 70's elegant LoL

Just listen to Cupid de Locke by Smashing Pumpkins. You'll be okay

emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness and god is empty just like me

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Summer Nights from Grease, its a duet, good ice breaker

Damn it! They don't call him The Wiseman cause it looks good on a t-shirt!

I ate both my Valentine's salad and free wrap in one sitting.

Just thought you should know.

Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado would be good in the future after a few dates.

I still pop for the "be my game MVP like Steve Nash" line.

 

[Pittie Petey]

I think thats the robe that Ric cant find anymore too, thats a shame, its quite a beaut!

I just saw something not too long ago that showed HHH's office was right next to Janel Grant's office. You mean to tell me the Cerebral Assasin, The Game, one of the most political wrestlers to ever do it didn't know what was going on with this random ass lady and his own father in law? EH EH

Apparently there was construction of a special door that Vince and John Laurinitis used into Janel Grant's office. I'm sure Triple H didn't notice that being built either

I bet our favorite journalist would know but he's got his Twitter account gimmicked to where only approved users can even see his profile.

@RollSonnenRoll Zach Bryan is doing the first ever concert in Michigan Stadium history and 100,000 tickets sold out in just a few hours

Country music is hot as a firecracker right now

Bidness, as they say, is boomin

Ryan Bingham was a wrangler on Yellowstone as well lol. He was a singer first.

I bet it's such a cool atmosphere to be in a big time college stadium for these concerts. Tennessee is doing a couple a year it seems.

I don't get it with this guy though. He's pretty good but he just doesnt seem like a fun show to go to. All his songs are depressing lol. He's killing it though so what do I know. When my sister saw him at some festival last year, she said he was the best showman out of the whole lineup.

I listened to him after I became a Jelly Roll mark cause Jelly shouted him out in that legendary acceptance speech when he won Best New Artist at the CMA's after about 15 years in the music bidness(Like Bill Watts and his dang Rookie Of The Year award that he used to give out in the UWF)

Anyhoo, yea, hes not for me but I can see how women would love him cause hes "deep and a poet and real" with no frills or over production, just his soul laid bare, warts and all

I really don't diagree with any of these aside from female wrestler and worst match. The Uso match wasn'tgood, but it was far from awful.

The bucks being tag team is more an indictment on the state of tag wrestling than anything else.
