[selfryedxpunk]

my summerslam predictions

this is very much a yap fest so if u dont wanna see a bunch of paragraphs of me yapping and me very much going insane then dont click the read more, but if u want to see me yap then go ahead 😋😋

bailey vs nia jax

winner ? i think nia jax 

why ? for one, im not rlly excited for this match and just from knowing jax i think she might win regardless.

shes just an icon anyway! i love bailey and ive loved how much shes grown and became an amazing superstar but i just hsve this gut feeling nias gonna win. i dont rlly think tiffany will cash in bc she needs to flaunt her mitb purse for a bit!!!

p.s: bailey's championship run is kind of boring ngl?? like ofc shes cool n all but we've already seen all the layers to bailey being champion and i need a new one and ineed it now

logan (fuckass) paul vs la knight

 winner ? la knight. no take backs

why? I FUCKING HATE LOGAN PAUL PLEASE LA KNIGHT WIN PLEADEMPLALSPELSLSKWPWLWL 

but in all seriousness, logan paul is barely here?? istg he shows up, yaps, and then leaves for like ten decades until someone provokes him again. hes barely defending it and hes not here enough to even do so. la knight DSERVES this belt! when i tell u hes been freaking phenomenal in the main roster and judt to think hes never had a belt is wild?? he needs to win point blank periodt 

p.s: i just know logans gonna try smthn anf fuck it up and thsts gonna cause him the match and what will i b doing? pointing and laughing

p.s.s: i will be sending a very nice and long letter if la knight doesnt win

sami jey- i mean zayn 😁 vs bron breakker

winner ? bron breakker

why? for this match im just going to wing it honestly bc there are SO many possibilities for this but im moreso on bron's side.

sami is known for being extremely strong in ring and surprising everyone around him when he kicks a big guy's ass, yes, but then again bron fucking breakker?? HELLO?? have we seen him??? remember that one time he left someone SHAKING and they had to go to the hospital? remember when he DESTROYED ricochet? the amount of spears he did to people? plus hes been a freaking powerhouse in many ways and i think he deserves this title as well

liv morgan vs rhea ripley

winner ? liv morgan 

why? bc i trust my gut and even tho it sucks to say, the liv revenge tour is not yet over.

liv morgan has been doing an fan fucking tastic job at being a chamption its insane and while ofc we all love our mami, i dont think wwe is just gonna grant her the belt right when she steps into wwe ?? thatd be so boring honestly bc i want to see MORE of this feud and how rhea will gradually win back everything from liv in a span of time. she cant just win everything back just from one ppv !!! so yeah i think liv will win, and i WANT her to win only because i want this rivalry to last a little longer bc if rhea wins, theyll basically just b going their separate ways. 

p.s: i just KNOW during the match, dom is going to cost rhea the win. question is tho will it be on purpose or accident? i REALLY want dom to turn and be with liv regardless of him calling her a bitch and saying he hates her bc i know if rhea didnt come back during raw, he wouldve definitely kissed liv and wouldhe got wirh her. itll also give rhea more to fight for–the title, and her man–and itll fire the feud even more

damien priest vs gunther

winner ? gunther...

why ? at first, i wanted to say damien was going to win but honestly i have a feeling papa trips is gonna cook and make gunther win instead

gunther deserves a title imo (u can tell the three am brain was hitting here bc i forgot gunther was champion already) and i feel like damien would be kinda clouded by the insults gunther was throwing around that its gonna throw him off in some way causing gunther to win

maybe some shenanigans might go down which coukd cost damien the match as well like if JD and finn will come out and make damien lose and then thatll cause damien to possibly go face and break from the judgement day bc he doesnt want help!!

gunther might walk in to bash in berlin as champion (or maybe im wrong abt this prediction and he'll actually win it at bash at berlin but idk lol)

cody rhodes vs solo sikoa (bloodline rules)

winner? mmmmm cody?????

why? im so stumped for this match and i dont wanna say i dont care abt it but its not my top priority 🤕

i want roman to come back during this match and fuck everything up since he technically is still apart of the bloodline and then he'll put solo back in his place which will make cody remain but then again idkkkk so, im winging this one and will just watch.

cm punk vs drew mcintyre 😨😨😨😨😨 (with sethie reffing!)

winner? i dont know in the best way possible

why? this is just going to be a yap session but here r all my thoughts

im moreso siding with drew on this (GASP CM PUNK FAN WANTING DREW TO WIN?) bc punk HAS cost drew so many matches atp that itd make drew look so damn weak for him to lose and then hed just be complaining again the next day?? like it would be so freaking boring??? 

if cm punk DOES win i feel like itd be because OF something like some sort of distraction perhaps? bc as seth said, they have to follow ALL of his rules n stuff so maybe drew gets distracted by seth and then punk will pin and seth HAS to grant him the win (like how shawn michaels had to grant bret the win during that one match when he guest reffed) 

i know this is setting the bar high but i want aj lee IF WWE LOVES ME! like aj slaps drew, telling him she'll never be his family n shit and then larry comes out and bite his ankles 😁😁 THIS IS SETTING THE BAR RLLY HIGH BUT IT WOULD BE QUITE FUNNY

Pro Wrestling Illustrated, May 2006

The Wrestling Forecaster: Bryan Danielson

(@nextstopwonderland there's your boy)

WHAT’S AHEAD FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2006?

“The American Dragon” has nearly seven years of experience under his belt, yet he is only 24 years old. He had a big year in 2005 by winning the Ring of Honor heavyweight title, and now he’s going to concentrate on restoring some stability to that championship. His goal is to break Samoa Joe’s record for most successful title defenses, and he’s off to a good start so far. But Danielson may be spreading himself a bit too thin in his attempt to win respect both for himself and for the title he holds dear. He has agreed to defend the title against challengers from other independent promotions, which could be potentially dangerous for ROH. Danielson risks having an outside competitor beat him for the ROH title and then defend the belt in matches not sanctioned by the company. Danielson will win over more and more fans for his willingness to be a fighting champion, and under his reign, ROH will continue to grow and sell more DVDs. Danielson just has to be vigilant. One bad decision could cost him the title and do the ROH championship irreparable damage.

WHERE WILL HE BE IN 2011?

Danielson has the pedigree of having been trained by Shawn Michaels, which means eventually WWE will bring him on board. Will WWE fans be ready for Danielson’s brand of stiff international mat work? Probably not at first, but Danielson will win the fans over through great matches against Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit. He will single-handedly make pure wrestling cool in WWE, and the “cattle mutilation” will be the biggest submission hold in the company. 

WHERE WILL HE BE IN 2016?

Danielson’s career will largely follow the same trajectory as Chris Benoit’s. He’ll win universal acclaim from the wrestling media and Internet fans, but will have a difficult–nearly impossible–time cracking through to the elite level. It will be Triple-H who will finally give him a chance, as the veteran superstar will be eager to try his catch-as-catch-can skills against the “Dragon.” At SummerSlam 2016, Danielson will fulfill the proverbial childhood dream, surprising HHH with a backslide to win the WWE title. It will be a good day for fans of the “sweet science.”

Sunny Voyage 2023 + Dominion 2023 Match Predictions

Checking at my clock and right now it's about 3:30 in the morning meaning I have about two hours to do all these predictions so here we go with predictions for "Sunny Voyage 2023 in Shinjuku FACE" and "Dominion 6.4 in Osaka-Jo Hall".

Let's start off with "Sunny Voyage 2023 in Shinjuku FACE" which is headlined by an intense main event that could result in KO or too many kicks to count. Anyway, here we go with the predictions for "Sunny Voyage 2023 in Shinjuku FACE"

Opening Match: Taishi Ozawa vs. Manabu Soya Prediction: Too easy of a win here. Going with Manabu Soya for the win

Match #2: Shuji Kondo, Hiroki, and Hajime Ohara vs. Yoshinari Ogawa, Chris Ridgeway, and Daga Prediction: Based on all that's been going on lately, I'm sensing another win for Stinger most likely in dominant fashion.

Match #3: Stallion Rogers vs. Sean Legacy Prediction: Sean has so far impressed me. He's got that potential. Stallion Rogers is okay but have yet to sense the potential I've been sensing in Sean Legacy so going with Legacy for the win.

Match #4: Dante Leon and Junta Miyawaki vs. HAYATA and Eita Prediction: Intriguing match here as we saw something we didn't expect, HAYATA and Eita teaming up. This is their biggest test but with them facing Dante Leon, it'll be a tall order. Most new teams don't win their first match together but based on the build here, I could sense HAYATA and Eita winning. Either that or Dante shows us all he'll do whatever it takes to become GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion once again.

Match #5: Akitoshi Saito, Shuhei Taniguchi, Mohammed Yone, Naomichi Marufuji, and Takashi Sugiura vs. Yoshiki Inamura, Daiki Inaba, Masa Kitamiya, Kaito Kiyomiya, and Go Shiozaki. Prediction: Crazy match that is just thrown together. Barely a storyline or build going into this match. So my prediction is a wild a crazy one. Got two predictions here. Sugiura will get the win by pinning Inaba but will get attacked by Jake Lee afterwards. Or Kiyomiya will get the win by pinning Mohammed Yone sending a clear message to Kazuchika Okada who has problems with not just Kiyomiya but with those in his own company that are all around the same age as him (Ren Narita and Shota Umino)

Semi-Final Match: GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship: Atsushi Kotoge/Seiki Yoshioka (Challenger Team) vs. Tadasuke/YO-HEY (Champion Team) Prediction: I originally predicted the challengers to win but based on the fact NJPW did a retweet of this match alone and the fact that neither GLG or Just 5 Guys have been booked yet for "All Together Again" I expect the champions to retain and a surprise confrontation post-match.

Main Event Match: Special Singles Match: Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Kenoh Prediction: This will be the third match of Nakajima/Kenoh I get to see live. First one was the N1 Victory 2021 finals where Nakajima won with a new move that has barely been seen since that victory. Last one was an intense 60-minute draw which turned out to be the first one I saw in any wrestling format since June 11, 2017 when Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada went the full distance. So...here, feel like and I've been saying this since the match has been made. Nakajima has to win. While with AXIZ, the two matches both him and Kenoh had ended with KO declaring Kenoh the winner. When he joined Kongo in August 2020, Nakajima unleashed a vicious side of himself and dominated against Kenoh to win their N1 Victory 2020 Block Match. Now that he's back with AXIZ, he has to prove that he made the right choice. If Nakajima cannot beat Kenoh as an AXIZ member, many people will be asking questions so in this main event, I'm going with Katsuhiko Nakajima for the win.

With the match predictions for "Sunny Voyage 2023 in Shinjuku FACE" done, it's now time to turn over to "Dominion 2023 in Osaka-Jo Hall" taking place this Sunday June 4, 2023.

Opening Match: Special Singles Match: Lance Archer vs. Will Ospreay Prediction: Winner here will get a shot at the IWGP United States Championship most likely at "The Forbidden Door". And with the way things are going, I see Will Ospreay emerging victorious but at what cost remains to be seen.

Match #2: Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi, BUSHI, and Titan vs. Taichi, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, DOUKI, and Taka Michinoku Prediction: As we await the status of a possible new LIJ member in Yota Tsuji, 4 of the 5 current LIJ members face 4 of the 5 Just 5 Guys members and to me, this one is too easy. I see a LIJ win with Tetsuya Naito most likely pinning Taka Michinoku

Match #3: IWGP Junior Tag Team Championship: Francesco Akira/TJP (Challenger Team) vs. Kevin Knight/KUSHIDA (Champion Team) Prediction: I'm sensing this to be a big night for the United Empire so going with new champions in Catch 2/2.

Match #4: NJPW World TV Championship: Jeff Cobb (Challenger) vs. Zac Sabre Jr. (Champion) Prediction: Last match, these two went the full distance (15 minutes) so there has to be a winner here within that 15-minute frame. Like I said, sensing a big night for the United Empire so...going with Jeff Cobb for the win here.

Match #5: Match to determine the 99th IWGP Tag Team Champions and the 4th NJPW Strong Tag Team Champions: Great O-Khan and Aaron Henare vs. EVIL and Yujiro Takahashi vs. Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI Prediction: Very hard one to predict. Originally had predict Aussie Open to retain but when they pulled out, went with Bishamon but with YOSHI-HASHI's recent comments, have this wild prediction. Bishamon will win only if Hirooki Goto gets the winning pin. Other than that, United Empire will complete the sweep and leave Osaka with gold all over.

Match #6: NEVER Openweight Championship Match: El Phantasmo (Challenger) vs. David Finlay (Champion) Prediction: This match alone may reach Nakajima/Kenoh levels or something darker. Though I'll be rooting for El Phantasmo, I sadly see David Finlay retaining and how he retains could be worse than how he beat Tama Tonga for the title at "Wrestling Dontaku 2023"

Match #8: NEVER 6-man Tag Team Championship: Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Shota Umino (Challenger Team) vs. Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, and Hiroshi Tanahashi (Champion Team) Prediction: Kazuchika Okada can easily handle Kaito Kiyomiya (who's looking to avenge his loss on June 9th in Ryogoku). Okada can handle Ren Narita easily. But...when it comes to Shota Umino. I said this on social media this past weekend and saying it here again...everytime Okada is under the impression that he can handle Shota Umino easily, seems like Umino is one or two steps ahead of him and I feel like that 6-man tag in Long Beach, CA changed Umino to the man we're seeing now. So...my prediction for this match is we're getting new champions. BCC going to take the 6-man titles hostage.

Semi-Main Event: IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship: Master Wato (Challenger/BOSJ 30 Winner) vs. Hiromu Takahashi (Champion) Prediction: A hard one to predict but right now going with Master Wato for the win. It's his hometown and most times, the hometown hero always wins.

Main Event: IWGP World Heavyweight Championship: Yota Tsuji (Challenger) vs. SANADA (Champion) Prediction: Hardest title match to predict in a long time even if this will be Tsuji's first match back from excursion. My prediction on this main event will shock you. I'm going with the time-limit draw. We'll most likely see our first 60-minute draw in 6 years.

So...there you have it. My predictions for today's "Sunny Voyage 2023 in Shinjuku FACE" which starts about a hour from now (5:30 AM Eastern) and my predictions for Sunday's "Dominion 6.4 in Osaka-Jo Hall".

Tune in for "Sunny Voyage 2023 in Shinjuku FACE" today (May 31, 2023) at 5:30 AM Eastern/4:30 AM Central/2:30 AM Pacific.

post-s3 mob (specifically) really enjoys pro-wrestling but absolutely refuses to believe that it’s all pre-produced and planned out, so he gets very legitimately upset whenever one of the wrestlers he likes makes a heel turn. Like genuine betrayal and disbelief in that poor boy’s eyes. One of the wrestlers, after winning a team title, becomes very predictably possessive over the trophy and starts saying canned anime villain lines and declares his partner his eternal enemy (will be resolved in one month TOPS) and Mob buys into it so fucking hard, hook line and sinker, because he’s completely accustomed to very strange adult men with god complexes doing villain monologues at him and being 100% serious about it.

MY WRESTLEMANIA 40 PREDICTIONS

Wrestlemania 40 starts tonight. Wish I was in the States right now 😭 I had to put in my 2 cents on how the show is going to go down.

This is my opinion and nothing more.

-----------

NIGHT ONE

Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch for the Women's World Title - I think someone else is dethroning Rhea. She’s way too popular right now too.

Gunther (c) vs. Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Title - same as above. Someone more formidable is dethroning Gunther.

The Judgment Day (Finn Balor and Damian Priest) (c) vs. #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) vs. The Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) vs. A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory and Grayson Waller) vs. New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate) in a Six-Pack Ladder match for the Undisputed WWE tag Team Titles - apparently the titles are getting split, so there’s that.

Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso - Jimmy has essentially been booked as a joke. He needs this win more than Jey does. Jey will be fine, but for some melodramatic reason I see Jey sacrificing himself for his big brother’s sake.

Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill and Naomi vs. Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai, Asuka, and Kairi Sane) - no brainer. WWE are not letting Jade lose her very first match.

Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee) vs. Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio - Dragon Lee has been replaced by Andrade. The result won’t change because Carlito will turn on Rey for looking him over again.

Roman Reigns and The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins - Why have another standard main event match when Bloodline Rules stipulation has been thrown out there? Also, Rock pins Cody. The storyline has focused much more on them and this heaps more adversity on Cody to win.

NIGHT TWO

Seth Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Title - Seth’s done all he can do with his reign. Drew has earned a title win in front of fans. The Bloodline may cost Seth. No comment on that guest hypocrite commentator.

Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bayley for the WWE Women's Title - No brainer. Bayley gets her redemption story. Iyo has been good but her title reign has run its course.

Logan Paul (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens for the WWE United States Title - I honestly couldn’t choose, so I picked KO because I like him the best. The match will be fire though.

LA Knight vs. AJ Styles - I’m not very invested in this match. May the better white man win.

Bobby Lashley, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins vs. The Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Akam, and Rezar) in a Philadelphia Street Fight - I’m DEFINITELY not invested in this match. Get Bobby, Montez and Angelo out of this garbage feud, pronto!

Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title - My Tribal Chief has had one of the greatest title reigns and orchestrated one of the most compelling storylines in pro wrestling history. He’s beaten the entire roster. It’s time to move the responsibility of ‘Face of the WWE’ to someone else. I like Cody. Wrestling with a torn pec for 30 mins earned my respect. I think he will do a great job of carrying the company and the matchups will be fresh. It will be Bloodline Rules to make way for all the overbooking that’s going to take place in this match. The Rock will turn on Roman to cost him the title and kick-start their feud for WM41.

Thoughts? Am I thinking too much into all of this, lol. Mania is going to be awesome!

[shih-coulda-had-it]

FEBUWHUMP | HELPLESS | WC: 594

“Your student’s sleeping off an injury you gave him,” Chiyo said icily. “Get out of my office and go brood somewhere else.”

Slumped back in one of her most uncomfortable chairs, arms crossed and legs propped up on young Yagi’s cot, Recovery Girl’s biggest pain in her ass made a thoroughly unattractive grunt. His hair was in disarray (normal), and he was unmasked (not normal). He was still in his flight suit and cape.

She went up to his seat and knocked her syringe against a plastic leg. “I’m not telling you again.”

“Is what you said last time,” Torino finally rasped. When Chiyo glanced down to check his expression, it was schooled back into an impassive, intimidating stare at his student’s--intern? ward?--unconscious body. There was a disconcerting redness to the corners of his eyes though.

Chiyo opted not to point this out. Guilt wouldn’t stop Torino from his relentless drive to condition Yagi into a close-combat nightmare; if anything, guilt was the reason behind it. “Well, I mean it right now. He’s not going to want to see you first thing.”

His jaw worked in silence. Yagi’s chest rose and fell in a reassuringly normal rhythm.

“One of these days, this boy’s going to blow up at you,” Chiyo predicted. “You can’t keep thrashing him in the name of the greater good and expect perfect obedience. He’s not a soldier. He’s a kid.”

“This kid chose to take the Quirk,” Torino said. “You think Shimura asked him to get a permission slip signed? No. She offered One for All and told him of all the strings attached, and he still took it. He knows what he’s in for.”

“Somehow, I don’t think he expected his guardian to be the one giving him a concussion.”

“I’m his trainer,” he said flatly.

“You’re also listed as his foster parent,” Chiyo shot back. “You know where this road leads? Total estrangement, at best. An attempt on your life at worst, if Yagi-kun would rather break than bend to your stupid idea of survival training.”

Torino pushed himself to his feet, and he whirled on Chiyo, lips pulling back to bare his teeth. She’d faced meaner, so she stood her ground and met him glare for glare. “I don’t see you doing anything to help him,” he snarled. “You’re healing him. You’re not stopping me. See the difference?”

The words burned, because they were true. Recovery Girl had more than enough proof to put a stop to Torino’s treatment of Yagi, and even wrestle Torino’s teaching credentials and pro-hero license away from the asshole. She had an ethical, moral duty to protect the students of U.A.. To heal any injury, and report any potential abuse of power.

Regardless of Yagi’s earnest pleading to excuse Torino’s behavior, Chiyo should have gone straight to the Commission. And she didn’t.

She couldn’t, even now.

Chiyo chewed furiously over the concession that Gran Torino was, unfortunately, the best person to make sure that Yagi survived his first year out of U.A.. Like hell she’d give Gran Torino the satisfaction. She jabbed a finger towards the door and waited.

It took him a few seconds to register her meaning, but once he did, Gran Torino’s seething faltered and sputtered out. He looked caught off-guard by the blatant dismissal. And for a second, he checked on Yagi, who remained blissfully, ignorantly asleep. There was something desperate, something wounded in the lines of his frown--but that wasn’t Chiyo’s problem.

“Visiting hours are over,” she said, finally.

He nodded, mute, and left.

Pro Wrestling Illustrated: October 1993

press conference… 

SID VICIOUS

Every issue, reports from PRO WRESTLING ILLUSTRATED will participate in an incisive press conference with a top wrestling star. The questions will be demanding. And the answers will reveal the innermost thoughts of the giants of the sport.

[Sid Vicious stunned WCW twice: first by returning under the management of Col. Parker, then by joining forces with Big Van Vader.]

WHEN SID VICIOUS returned to WCW in mid-May, the general consensus was that the 6’8” 318-pound-muscleman would resume his temporarily suspended assault on the WCW World heavyweight title. The general consensus was wrong. Shortly after arriving, he formed an alliance with the champion himself. Big Van Vader. 

It’s an incredible duo. Each possesses an awesome power bomb, a potentially crippling maneuver both men have used it on Sting, Nikita Koloff, Cactus Jack, and Ron Simmons. Could Vicious be next?

Vicious, known as Sid Justice in the WWF, is one of wrestling’s most notorious underachievers. When he came out of West Memphis Arkansas, in the late 1980s, everyone thought he was bound for heavyweight superstardom. But, after a failed alliance with The Four Horsemen, Sid stalled in WCW. He jumped to the WWF and targeted the title, but was eventually upstaged by Hulk Hogan. He left the federation after losing to the “Hulkster” at WrestleMania VIII.

After that, Sid wrestled only once (teaming with Johnny Rotten at the Kerry Von Erich memorial card in early April) before returning to WCW and becoming Vicious again. To the surprise of many, he returned with a manager, Col. Robert Parker. The one constant in Sid’s inconsistent career has been bad management and poor advice. Again he seems willing to put himself in someone else’s hands. 

Shortly aftercoming back to WCW, Vicious took some time out from a heavy training session to speak with PWI Senior Writer Dave Rosenbaum, Managing Editor V.J. Paterno, and Associate Publisher Craig Peters. He once again proved that he’s not just some dumb muscleman but actually a pretty bright guy.

DAVE ROSENBAUM: Let’s get right to the point, Sid. When are you going to wrestle Vader?CRAIG PETERS: Boy, you’ve never heard of tact, have you, Dave?SID VICIOUS: That’s fine with me. I don’t like glazing over the facts, so if you have something to ask me, just ask it. The answer is, I don’t know. 

V.J. PATERNO: You don’t know? VICIOUS: That’s what I said. Need an explanation?

ROSENBAUM: We wouldn’t mind one. After all, it doesn't make sense for you to be friends with Vader. He has the belt. 

VICIOUS: Who said friends can’t wrestle?PATERNO: Well…

VICIOUS: Well, nothing. Vader and I have an understanding. We can speak honestly with each other, and when I’m ready to wrestle him, I’ll let him know it. I guarantee he won’t say no.

[“I’ll wrestle Vader when I’m ready to beat him the first time with three beats of the arm.”]

ROSENBAUM: I heard him say he’d beat you no problem.

VICIOUS: He’s confident. I’m confident. He wouldn’t stand a chance, but it would be a tough match.

PETERS: Is that a prediction? VICIOUS: No, it’s a fact. Vader’s a great champion, one of the best in WCW history, but he’s not unbeatable. He knows that. We talk about it all the time.

PATERNO: You talk about his weaknesses? VICIOUS: We talk about mine, too. It’s a short discussion.

ROSENBAUM: Very sharp. So when’s it going to happen?

VICIOUS: I told you. I don’t know.

PETERS: What’s your idea of ready? VICIOUS: I’ve seen plenty of challengers take 20 matches and they’re not ready to win the belt until the 15th. Eventually, the champion’s going to make a mistake and lose, but that’s not fair. I’ll wrestle Vader when I’m ready to beat him the first time with three beats of the arm. That’s when.

PATERNO: Does Col. Parker have a schedule for you? VICIOUS: If he does, he’s not saying. The Colonel’s different from the others. He doesn’t put pressure on me. He wants the title and he knows I want the title. The plan is to proceed cautiously. I’m young. There’s plenty of time. 

ROSENBAUM: I hope this doesn’t come off sounding wrong, but you sound more mature Sid.

VICIOUS: Are you saying I'm not mature?

PETERS: Nice wording, Dave.

ROSENBAUM: No, I’m just saying you’re more patient and you seem to be thinking before you act. For instance, I don't think you would’ve joined The Four Horsemen if you really gave it some deep thought.

VICIOUS: I gave it some deep thought. It was the right move at the time, but Flair was afraid of me and he never admitted it publicly. I would’ve won the belt several times, but Flair always got in the way. That was the problem.

PATERNO: Do you regret joining the Horsemen?

VICIOUS: I don’t regret anything. It was an experience. Nothing wrong with that.

[Vicious feuded with Sting in late-1990, culminating in a remarkable title match at Halloween Havoc. Sting and Davey Boy Smith were Vicious and Vader’s first targets upon uniting.]

PETERS: You just got done with your workout…

VICIOUS: I’m not done. I’m in the middle. If I was done, I wouldn’t be sitting here in these sweaty shorts.

PETERS: Well, my question is, how long do your workouts last and what do they consist of?

VICIOUS: They last up to three hours, broken up into one hour of warming up in the first half and two hours of heavy lifting in the second half. I bench-press, squat, deadlift, do curls, leg exercises, more bench-presses, jump rope, a few of the Colonel’s secret exercises.

PETERS: Secret exercises? What are they?

VICIOUS: I can't say. They’re secrets.

[Vicious is as–well, as vicious as ever. Here, he holds an opponent by the hair as Harley Race delivers a beating of his own and Parker looks on.]

ROSENBAUM: Of course, Craig. They’re secrets. Are your workouts more intense than they used to be?VICIOUS: Not more intense, just more focused, just like the rest of my life. I’m not into wasting time anymore. I’m not into having fun. I’m into winning and doing everything necessary to make sure I win.

PATERNO: Let’s talk some more about the Horsemen. What do you think about their reunion?VICIOUS: I think Paul Roma’s a bad substitute for Sid Vicious. 

PATERNO: Is that all?VICIOUS: I think Flair, Ole, and Arn are old and past their prince. I think Flair will use Roma every way he can. I think that since Tully Blanchard, the toughest man in the whole group, isn't around anymore, it makes them a weaker team. I think The Four Horsemen should’ve stayed retired the first time, instead of running the risk of having some like me retire them the second. I could do it. 

ROSENBAUM: Would you like to get your hands on Flair?VICIOUS: It’s not a priority, but it would be nice. It would give me great pleasure to give him a one-way ticket out of wrestling. His “Flair For The Gold” segment? Good idea. He has a career in broadcasting and he should stick with it. 

PATERNO: How about if Flair wins the World title?VICIOUS: How about it? It will never happen. Vader’s the man. 

PETERS: How about Parker? A lot of people, myself included, thought you’d never have another manager after your bad experiences with the Horsemen and Harvey Wippleman. Why’d you go along with Parker?

[Vicious’ physique is ample testament to his incredible workout regimen. He says that his workouts now are more focused and productive than ever. He also seems more mature.]VICIOUS: Because he’s a smart man and he knows the sport. He made me a good offer, I looked it over, and I thought it was a good idea. Besides, there’s enough for a wrestler to worry about in this sport without worrying about the little details. If you ask me, every wrestler should have a manager. I'm surprised they all don’t look at boxers. They all have managers and trainers. Wrestling’s too tough to go it alone.

PATERNO: Can you trust Parker?VICIOUS: Can anyone trust anyone? There are always risks, and maybe I'm taking one, but it looks to me like the Colonel is out for my best interests, because they’re his best interests, too. It’s like any other sport. If I win, we’ll both be happy. If I lose, there'll be some changes.

PETERS: It sounds as if you're turning into a businessman.

VICIOUS: I am a businessman. Sports are business. And like all successful businessmen, I'm dead serious about what I'm doing. Let everyone else judge the risks of that.

These Sponsors have paid for a two on one pro wresting match, with predictable results.

They're becoming more and more turned on at the brutality, pained groans and suffering. And the blood of course.

Here they are telling the dominant wrestlers what they want them to do with their victim next.

One wants a double head and body scissors, another wants a camel clutch with boston crab.

The Sponsors have all taken their Viagra and cant wait to gang bang the loser.

Later in the evening, they will enjoy watching the tag team here wrestle and fuck each other. One Sponsor has brought a double ended dildo, for some ass to ass action between the wrestlers.

A nice show to end their expensive evening.

My AEW Revolution 2024 Predictions

I am so excited for this ppv and I have to much energy on myself so, deal with it

Tornado Tag Match Sting's Last Match - Darby Allin & Sting (AEW Tag Team Champions) VS Golf Trainers- oh sorry- AEW EVP'S Matthew & Nicholas Jackson

Let's start with the cherry on the top, I am so ready to cry on this match, even knowing that most likely Sting will appear again on AEW but not wrestling again

But for sure, 100% that the not Young Bucks anymore will win this match - I mean if its Sting's last match will Darby defend both belts alone?? I mean he is capable of it. but come on, one last match of this amazing tag team against the non Young Bucks is the perfect finish for this era

AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - Samoa Joe (C) VS Swerve Strickland VS Hangman Adam Page

Everyone is imagining that it will Swerve versus Hangman and Samoa Joe will be like third wheeling or something like that

this one will be pretty intense both men fighting for the gold and Samoa Joe defending it

I really want Swerve to win it but I think Samoa Joe will retain it, I mean it's the first ppv that he defends it

AEW WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - "Timeless" Toni Storm (C) VS Deonna Purrazo

Besides the Zero Hour one with Kris and Willow versus Julia Hart and Skye Blue, this is the only women´s match on the ppv..........come on AEW, your women's division is so freaking powerful and you still don´t know how to properly promoted, and we are on the International Women's month, come on......

I think Deonna Purrazo will win it for sure, but if Toni retains it I am so excited to see how this feud will keep going, because this feud was so well played, I am more than seated for this match

AEW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP - Orange Cassidy (C) VS Roderick Strong

It has to be Orange Cassidy, if it isn´t I will shave my eyebrows

Roderick Strong is being too annoying for Orange it has to be our denim and thumbs up man

AEW CONTINENTAL CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP - Eddie Kingston (C) VS Bryan Danielson

I am a bit uncertain with this one, but I think Eddie will retain it

and what an hell of a match this will be

Will Ospreay VS Konosuke Takeshita

another one that I am have no clue too who might win

but I guess Will Ospreay

TNT CHAMPIONSHIP - (Pro Pokemon Hunter) Christian Cage (C) VS Daniel Garcia

I am so excited for this one

But still for how much I would like to see Daniel with the gold, I am 100% sure that the Patriarchy will mess with this match

But its more than time for Daniel to be a champion (again)

FTR VS Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli

I am also unsure about this one, just to be different

But I think Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli will win it

ALL STAR 8-MAN SCRAMBLE - Dante Martin VS HOOK (FTW Champion) VS Brian Cage VS Magnus VS Chris Jericho VS Powerhouse Hobbs VS Brian Cage VS Wardlow

yes I am pretty HOOK biased but I dont think he will win this one, even tho I am an huge fan of this fighting big dudes agenda

also 2/5 of the Lads fighting each other

also 3/5 of Team Taz fighting each other

I think it will be more between Hobbs and Wardlow for sure, after yesterday's Collision

Zero Hour: Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale VS Julia Hart (TBS Champion) & Skye Blue

I am so excited for this one!!!

I think it will be Kris and Willow, in my mind if it Julia and Skye Blue, I think Willow will possibly turn on Kris idk why

Zero Hour: 12 MAN TAG MATCH - Bang Bang Scissor Gang VS Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, Private Party & Willie Mack

Come on it has to be Bang Bang Scissor Gang because they are Bang Bang Scissor Gang!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, what do you guys think?? Pls talk to me-

My G1 Climax 33 and N-1 Victory 2023 Final Predictions

As we are only 5 days away from G1 Climax 33 beginning in Sapporo and less than a month away from N-1 Victory 2023 beginning in Yokohama, can say with full confidence that I have my predicted finals for 2023 and here they are:

For G1 Climax 33, my predicted final will be Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Tetsuya Naito.

Now, I have 3 ways as to how each will make it to the finals in which I have 3 sets of predictions of who will be my final 8.

The first set of my final 8 will be Shota Umino and Kaito Kiyomiya from A Block, Kazuchika Okada and El Phantasmo from B Block, Eddie Kingston and EVIL from C Block, and Jeff Cobb and Tetsuya Naito from D Block. In this first set for Kiyomiya to be in the final, I have him beating Jeff Cobb and El Phantasmo while I have Naito beating Okada and EVIL. Interesting fact, this first set of 8 I have predicted would've had Okada and Kiyomiya in the finals but if I want Naito in the final, tough decision had to be made in which Naito will beat Okada and then EVIL to face Kaito Kiyomiya.

For my second set, I have Kaito Kiyomiya and SANADA from Block A, El Phantasmo and KENTA from Block B, my top 2 from Block C remains unchanged (Eddie Kingston and EVIL), and in D Block I have Tetsuya Naito and Zack Sabre Jr. Now, here for the final, I will have Kiyomiya overcoming the House of Torture to defeat EVIL and then defeat El Phantasmo to advance to the final. Tetsuya Naito...have him beating SANADA in what could be a preview for Wrestle Kingdom 18 should Naito win the G1 and then have him beating KENTA avenging a Ryogoku loss from 3 years ago. In this second set here, should this final come to be, have Naito facing Pro Wrestling NOAH's past (KENTA) in the semi-finals and NOAH's present (Kaito Kiyomiya) in the overall finals. Be interesting to see how that'll work out.

My third and final set of my final 8 will have once more Shota Umino and Kaito Kiyomiya from A Block (they were also predicted in my first set). El Phantasmo and KENTA from B Block (predicted in my second set). You can say C Block is pretty much set in stone because I just feel that Eddie Kingston and EVIL will be the top two no matter what the prediction is. And D Block...same as the first set, Jeff Cobb and Tetsuya Naito. The final 4 I predicted here would be NOAH's past meeting NOAH's present while at the same time a LIJ betrayal that could lead to a revival. That predicted final 4 in this set is KENTA (NOAH's Past) vs. Kaito Kiyomiya (NOAH's Present) and EVIL (the traitor) vs. Tetsuya Naito.

Now, who do I have winning G1 Climax 33? Many know that this year, this G1 will belong to Tetsuya Naito. Have Tetsuya Naito going all the way and it'll be interesting if he'll keep the promise that Kenoh and Kiyomiya made in Hachioji.

That promise is that the G1 Climax 33 winner will meet the N-1 Victory 2023 winner in a singles match in a Pro Wrestling NOAH ring.

Speaking of N-1 Victory 2023, I have my predicted final but how I have them reaching the final remains to be seen as the match cards will not be announced until July 15th 2023 after which I'll have an image as how this final will come to light. But...I have my predicted N-1 Victory Final and...it'll be Kenoh vs. Go Shiozaki in which I'll have Shiozaki finally defeating Kenoh and getting not only that first win over the former Kongo leader but his first singles tournament victory in Pro Wrestling NOAH. Interesting fact, even when it was Global League, Shiozaki has never won the finals itself. He reached the finals in 2017 and lost to Kenoh in that year's overall final. This year, in 2023, I feel like this will be his chance to win this tournament and show us all age is just a number. Shiozaki is the oldest of the 16 N-1 Victory 2023 participants competing at the age of 41.

So, to recap this...despite a promise being made, neither Kaito Kiyomiya or Kenoh will be able to keep it as both will lose in their finals to Tetsuya Naito and Go Shiozaki respectively. Again, be interesting to see if Naito and Shiozaki will go along with the promise that Kiyomiya and Kenoh made in Hachioji.

G1 Climax 33 begins July 15th in Sapporo and will end on August 13th in Ryogoku Kokukigan. N-1 Victory 2023 begins August 6th in Yokohama Budokan and will end on September 3rd in EDION Arena Osaka.

AEW All Out 2024 was so funny. just an absolutely demonic (positive) show. i wanted to post a bit about it because a lot happened that i probably won't reblog gifs of haha.

Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale had a street fight in the ruins of their former friendship, and Willow smashed a light tube over Kris's head and then Kris did the SPLITS onto THUMB TACKS, and of course Kris the betrayer was the one who triumphed in the end.

in the semi-main, Bryan Danielson defended the AEW championship against Jack Perry. Luchasaurus, Christian's current right-hand man, er, dinosaur, came out at the end and had a staredown with Jack (his former partner...), but Christian (who has a right to challenge for that belt anytime he wants) interrupted before THAT could go anywhere, and then Bryan's factionmates, the Blackpool Combat Club, showed up to ward off the Patriarchy (Christian's faction. it's too much to explain here lol).

but then as soon as the Patriarchy left, Jon Moxley hugged Bryan, and then he and Claudio Castagnoli immediately betrayed him, and Mox started literally suffocating Bryan with a plastic bag while Wheeler Yuta, the BCC's other member, sobbed and struggled to try to reach Bryan as Pac restrained him.

on that cheery note, we went into the Hangman Adam Page vs Swerve Strickland grudge cagematch, which follows after Hangman literally burned down Swerve's childhood home a few days ago, driven to the point of absolute obsession toward the man who first took the love of the crowd away from him, and who then invaded Hangman's own house and threatened his newborn child, only to still get cheered by the crowd anyway.

lots happened in that match! there was stuff with a staple gun and also cinderblocks. at one point they fought over a literal wooden stake that Hangman had taken from the burnt remains of Swerve's childhood house, which they proceeded to try to stab each other with like they were trying to slay a vampire (i mean Hangman has already quite literally drunken Swerve's blood so you can't say it's not on theme 💀). right at the end, there was a NEEDLE SPOT that i could not watch at all lol.

a lot of pro wrestling is about these small moments that really stick with you. usually you can't predict what those will be. in this match, the thing that really stuck with me wasn't really any of the spots in the match itself, but the aftermath.

Hangman won by knockout, just an absolutely brutal victory, and he left the ring and headed up the ramp, and then at one point, he paused and turned around and started to walk back toward the ring, and the crowd audibly gasped in horror, like everyone in that room was afraid of what Hangman was going to do to Swerve after he was basically totally unconscious and helpless and already defeated. suddenly, an expression crossed Hangman's face that i'm not sure any of us were expecting.

it looked like remorse.

and it seemed to be the thing that finally broke him.

he'd gotten what he wanted, and he didn't feel any better. he'd become this thing that people hated and feared, and there might not be any way to go back.

the PPV ended on a shot of Hangman in anguish at the top of the ramp. it was easily the darkest show that AEW has ever done, a show of unsettling imagery and nightmares, but boy was it compelling. sometimes the hero loses. sometimes hate triumphs. sometimes the catharsis is in sitting with the darkness instead of vanquishing it.
