I would love if the mods created a “wrestling” forum for us. I feel WWE is as hot as they have been since the attitude era. Honestly, they may be hotter. 
 

@rayzor @LinvilleGorge anyway to create wrestling forum above the tinderbox?  I think we have a market for it. 

Man, that would be awesome.  I love wrestling.  Wrestling is great.

Except for my wife, I have no one to talk wrestling with IRL and haven't found a good forum.  

Wrestling for me has a huge entertainment value.  Everyone knows it is scripted, but part of the appeal is watching it and hoping they reward one of your favorites.  WWE has really improved it's storytelling.  There are moments every now & then when I get pulled in and completely forget kayfabe exists.  THAT is the power of good storytelling.

And really one of my personal on-ramps to wrestling was Kevin Greene.  So, you know.. it's Panthers related..

Oh man that’s a great comparison. Tepper does remind me of a wcw Bischoff. When they were beating WWF in the ratings for a long time, that was the panthers in 2015 era. Then a hard fall from grace…

Went from top of the world to bottom of the barrel in 6 years. Just like Tepper

I don’t know much about wrestling….but I know the Panthers aren’t Sting. 

 

If you knew Sting, you'd know two things about that reference.

 

Multiple times he pulled off a mask to reveal another Sting mask. Which parallels our lack of change, particularly recently. Also, his tag line of "the only thing for certain about Sting, is nothing is certain".

 

But no, the Panthers aren't iconic. Lol

Remember when the WCW had that Sub Zero ripoff character for like a week in the 90s?  They were trying to capitalize on the popularity of Mortal Kombat.  His name was "glacier" or "blizzard" or something, I can't remember.

Glacier.

He was an unlockable player in WCW vs NWO on N64 IIRC .

They had some super silly gimmicks. Robocop as posted earlier, the Wizard of Oz who was just basically some extremely tall dude in a green suit, a mummy. A guy with dyslexia was also a gimmick.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
