Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 418: McGregor vs Mayweather II in a Punjabi Prison

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd probably rather on average watch Main Event than the weakest Raw hour. I love Truth Slater and Rhyno
---

remember when main event had randy orton matches
---

You mean the very first ever Main Event?
---

you know because nxt womens title is vacant I bet that the winner of the MYC is going to get it like TJ did
---

I expect Peyton Royce to get it actually
---

As long as not ember moon

I wantes nikki storm to get it but not likely.
---

Mia Yim for NXT champ.

227,000 viewers for Thursday night's Impact, third lowest they have ever done on POP and 41% drop from last week

Good work Anthem
---

I mean I know there's been a lot of drama with TNA on the business end but did they do something with the product to turn everyone off too?
---

Seems like only yesterday we would mock TNA for being a perpetual 1.1M viewers machine on Spike for eternity

Maybe people don't want Eli Drake as Champion?

Look at all of these people boycotting the unfair treatment of Jeff Jarrett!

But in a serious note, apparently GFW is going to have a WWE Network kind of thing for them. It is $7.99 a month.

Let's discuss what hilarious TNA-like thing they can do to fuck this up.

Well, it won't exist probably.

Lose a lawsuit and have to erase all Don West commentary

Just looking at a random recent Main Event:

"This week, R-Truth and Curt Hawkins meet in singles action"

As the reigning Raw Jobber champion, Hawkins needs screen time to continuously lose matches! >_>

(But seriously, Hawkins hasn't won a match since defeating Crews on SmackDown Live back on November 8, 2016. Two months away from a full year of jobbing!)

IIRC TNA had one of these a couple years before the Network was even a thing!

Christy Hemme is pregnant.

Hopefully not by that dastardly Samuel Shaw

Okada will soon break the record for longest single IWGP Heavyweight reign

The only man standing in his way is...EVIL

And just over about a hundred days from surpassing Tanahashi on longest combined reigns!

Latest update on title histories...

WWE Championship - Jinder Mahal enters the top 30 (out of 50) with 111 days, just recently passing Chris Jericho. With Hell in a Cell still 29 days away, this most likely means Jinder will pass Ric Flair, Roman Reigns, and Eddie Guerrero on the all-time list too.

Universal - Brock has 162 days as champion, and will have 177 by the time he faces Braun at No Mercy, which is still 11 days shy of Owens if the championship does switch hands there. That's right, BRAAAAAAUN is the only thing standing between Brock and the #1 spot on the Universal list.

IC - Miz passes Tito Santana for 4th place out of 78 wrestlers, and now with 449 days total across 7 reigns, only needs to hold the title for one more week to pass Honky Tonk Man's 454 day reign as IC champion! The real question, however, is will Miz hold the belt long enough to pass Don Muraco's 541 days, or Pedro Morales' 619? Probably not

US - Out of 86 wrestlers, AJ Styles sits in 59th place with 62 days. In less than a week, he can pass Hugh Morrus and Scott Hall!

Raw Tag - Out of 75 wrestlers, Seth Rollins is in 22nd place with 168 days, recently tying Chris Jericho; next is Shelton Benjamin with 180. Dean Ambrose, the latest Modern Era Grand Slam champion, is in 71st place with 20 days. Next up is both Dudleys with 21 days each.

SD Tag - Usos continue to increase their lead, with 141 days total as champions. Chad Gable, Jason Jordan, Heath Slater, and Rhyno are all tied for 3rd with 84 days each (and now only one of them is on SD to even attempt to chase the Usos, which might happen soon).

Raw Women's - Alexa Bliss is in 2nd with 124 total days across 2 reigns. She ain't reaching Charlotte's 242 anytime soon though.

SD Women's - Natalya has 20 days as champion, making her last among the 4 ladies to hold said title. She still has to hold the belt for 2 months before even having a chance at passing Becky Lynch for third.

Cruiserweight - Neville still leaves everyone else in the dust with 217 days. In two weeks, he'll have held that title for longer than Chris Jericho held all of his WCW Cruiserweight titles combined

Made up titles that only we/the PWB keep track of because why not
WWE's The Man: Jinder Mahal
WWE's The Guy: Brock Lesnar
Raw Jobber Champion: Curt Hawkins
SD Jobber Champion: Chad Gable
Raw Women's Jobber Champion: Mickie James
SD Women's Jobber Champion: Lana (must defend by September 19th to avoid vacancy)
Cruiserweight Jobber Champion: Drew Gulak
GFW's The Man: Alberto El Patron
GFW Jobber Champion: Eddie Edwards

So the wife and I are catching up on CHIKARA. Lots of storyline and backstory stuff happening.

Whisper is being set up as the new big bad. He blackmailed Princess Kimberlee until she quit, has some kind of dirt on Ophidian involving Seventeen. He stole Missile Assault Man's war journal and posted it on tumblr. All those random masked flood minions were actually clones created by Titor, including Lucas Calhoun. All the Colony Xtreme Force were former mercenaries under Deucalion. They at one point encountered Soldier Ant while on a mission in Africa. (yes, Soldier Ant used to do special ops missions in his ant outfit.)

Was not expecting a sudden backstory dump for Deucalion, Titor, and Xtreme Force.

Khali posted himself doing shrugs on Instagram and it is terrifying

He's just also a Soldier.

Oh yeah it's awesome, I just didn't expect it. It may actually include how Titor learned about CHIKARA and why they went after it. Not to mention the 17 thing finally getting revealed.

Yeah, I just didn't realize he was actively sent on missions. He captured a weapons shipment from arms dealers and buried people in the sand.

This is why Wink/Duke made his life so miserable. They actually explain what was done to him during the closure (indirectly).

I thought we knew why they went after it; to harvest super soldiers by learning the secrets of the incredible super-powerful wrestlers of CHIKARA

I feel like it ending up 1. The Miz is more likely than you'd think.

The Miz has about 5 more years of full-time work before he goes part-time and/or authority figure.

Yeah but now we know that they learned about the Super powered wrestlers by encountering Soldier Ant in Africa.

Humorous summary of Live Audio Wrestling's interview with Anthem's Ed Nordholm

As in about 8-10 minutes into mild questioning, Ed suddenly sounds terrified, like he’s questioning most of his life choices.

Oh god this sounds amazing.

I completely forgot to listen to that. I'll have to for sure now!

Now that I think about it, getting to #2 wouldn't be surprising either. Miz would have 455 days once he takes the 3rd place spot for himself on the all-time IC days list. He'd only need 87 days to pass Muraco, which is just barely under 3 months. Considering Miz isn't engaging in any high profile IC feuds anytime soon (unless they're gonna do more with Jeff Hardy on Raw tonight), then he'll probably hold the belt for awhile unless they pull a wacky Ambrose-like victory out of nowhere.

Reigns taking someone's anger at the hurricane as a chance to attack them for not sharing his religious beliefs is possibly the worst "Reigns acts like a moron in interviews/on social media" moment yet. What a fucking shithead.
