Open WWE/NXT/Pro Wrestling thread

If you're a big WWE fan, you probably won't like NJPW. It's just like ROH. Actual wrestling. Very little drama, other than the ring entrances and some storylines written for groups to "control" the promotion. But like ROH, and old ECW (that you had to watch at 4 AM) it's what the sport should be. WWE today is trash. Straight trash. It's an embarrassment to the old days, and an embarrassment to today's skilled stars. Yes, it what the masses are spoon fed and love ... but it's just horrible.

I am a big fan of WWE and was a big fan of the old ECW as well as Mid-Atlantic and NWA wrestling.

It doesn't have to be either or in my opinion.

I just havent watched New Japan yet. Heck, I just started watching WWE agaim last year.

My personal favorite time period was the new generation era (1992-1997). You might be surprised but that's the era I watched first and it's not the golden age of the late 80s/early 90s, but I just think that a lot more people were watching during that time period and that's the only reason it's thought of as the greatest time for wrestling (or right behind the attitude era).

Nowadays it's weird seeing people discuss wrestling. When you look online and people are referencing the ruthless aggression era as the greatest time in their opinion, I tilt my head because I always thought of it as not as good as any of the other eras, but these tend to be younger people who were the same age then as I was during the new generation.

Sting and Warrior were in a stable called "Powerteam USA", I can't remember what promotion they were in. They split aeay from that and joined some other promotion calling themselves Justice (Warrior) and Flash (Sting). I dont think they had a tag team name though. Then they joined UWF and became a tag team calling themselves "The Blade Runners". This is in the mid 80's. GWF didn't start until 90 or 91 after Sting had already established himself in NWA/WCW and Warrior in WWF.

What shade of lipstick is Sting wearing. He looks like he is giving a fist pump after getting invited to a bukkake party.... where he is the guest of honor

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
