The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania XL - 6/7 April 2024

Just wait for the Undertaker Podcast Dead Man Talking with Conrad where he does Ad reads for SquareSpace MeUndies and mangrooming products

Pat Patterson has died. My second favorite stooge

“He’s single, fellas”

So Dynamite is one to watch this week. Avoid all spoilers.

[captain red dog]

Dynamite spoiler thoughts:

I really hope AEW can give Sting a suitable final run. He never got it with TNA, and WWE did their usual and jobbed him to HHH. It would be nice to see him get one last short run, if he can still go.

I thought the way they went with Omega and Moxley was pretty crap. Felt like a WWE way to win the title. Interesting to see he is heading to Impact next week. Seems an odd choice as not many fans have respect for Impact even now, and since we all know Omega is an EVP or something, it's not like a defection storyline would be believable

Otherwise, really worth watching this episode.

Patterson's a weird one. It's hard to know if the allegations made against him were legitimate or not based on the workplace culture of the WWF/E.

There’s a really awkward interview with Roddy Piper that alludes to those allegations. He’s clearly very uncomfortable discussing it and the interviewer is a bit of a twat for pushing the issue.

Yeah I’ve seen it, and I hated every minute of it.

I absolutely adored Roddy Piper and that interviews a tough watch if you read pipers book he had been through a lot and still came out swinging and able to talk freely about most things so to see him so uncomfortable is not nice at all

Just nipping in to say a big strawberry float you to a certain unfunny YouTube channel who I don't even follow for making their thumbnail a big old strawberry floating spoiler for dynamite that I saw this morning and if there is a God I hope that he cures a small child of cancer by transferring it to that one gurning prick who's in every thumbnail.

[Miguel007]

I’ve just heard the Undertaker Cameo clips on the Jim Cornette Podcast;

Taker saying thank you for being a good husband - I completely lost it; host Brian’s Laugh and Taker, I’m still drying my eyes...

I hope these get leaked on a weekly basis, amazing.

Does it rhyme with Hultacolic?

I mostly enjoyed NXT TakeOver last night, but the women repeatedly hitting each other with a sledgehammer like it's a comedy prop hurt the match big time. That's a stretcher job on anybody, and there they are whaling away with all the believability of Timmy Mallett.

Not to mention the fact they gave the face team the man advantage

The Fiend on fire into an RKO: brilliant.
Randy Orton setting 'The Fiend' on fire and burning him to a crisp: strawberry floating stupid.

As they switched to a dummy, the first thing I noticed was 'wow, Bray Wyatt's gut has miraculously vanished...'

For the least hyped thrown-out-there Inferno match in history, they at least delivered on properly setting a person on fire, I'll give them that.

Brodie Lee/Luke Harper has died. Genuinely the hardest hitting wrestlers death since Eddie

[Cosmo]

What a devastating blow. strawberry floating hell.

[captain red dog]

Woah, that's a real shock. I wonder what happened as he always seemed so well adjusted outside of the ring. That's quite a shock, more so than Eddie in some respects. Horrible news.

[Prototype]

Honestly gutting. Such a young guy as well with a young family.

Looks like it was a non-Covid lung issue. Terrible news, he seemed like a nice guy and as Proto says, had a young family too.
