I find it hard to imagine a commercial opportunity Greg Miller has ever turned down.

(Also it's funny they already have Dan Ryckert on payroll but let's bring in Miller)

At this point I've seen Dan doing so much Twitch streaming I was legitimately unsure if he'd been one of the people let go during these COVID firing waves they've done or not, dude could probably just live comfortably off of that and doing Panning The Stream podcasts with his wife for quite a while

I saw him as Brodie Lee at a WWE Live show just before he finally got his release, he tagged with Rowan and they were my favourite part of the whole thing. They weren’t on for long but I couldn’t get over how utterly enormous the guy looked even from my cheap seats miles away. RIP to a great wrestler.

Pretty much the last 18 months has been "Let's just put the woman's champion in the tag title scene so we dont have to write that many women storylines and can keep 80% of the division being jobbers"

It was TLC last year when Charlotte and Becky went for the tag titles because... reasons.

I'm not one to get bent out of shape about deaths to people I've literally never met once in my life but when I heard the news I immediately flashed back to him being on Aubrey's podcast a few months ago and him being in the car with his child in a kiddy seat in the back. Felt like a knife going through my chest, this is just so cruel.

the thing is i only saw the headline and didn't dive any deeper because it was hilarious

the WWE match of the year according to WWE was AJ Styles v The Undertaker Boneyard

which wasn't a match

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Boneyard match was legitimately one of the most enjoyable matches in WWE all year, partially because it stood out so much and partially because by March they just started to phone it in because of COVID. "The Greatest Wrestling Match of All Time" is probably over-rated even in the WWE bubble, it was slow and boring.

The boneyard match sucked because even with editing and reshoots the Undertaker has been dorky and bad in the worst way for a while. There were a couple few flashes here and there with Brock, but by the time the AJ feud came up I couldn't care less. It is hard to age gracefully in any sport, but wrestling in particular can be pretty vicious about it unless you're Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. And even he had a heart attack I think.


It's frustrating to think that regardless of how the match itself went, Roman/Taker had every right to be the end. Instead Taker just lingered around and continued to be bad on the mic and bad at wrestling and it just......sucked.

He's just a company man for better or worse. He should have retired after Brock beat him at WM. Vince got his moment and ignored post nut clarity, if Undertaker had formally retired at WM 30 and only came back at 36 for the Boneyard match it would've meant a lot more for both wrestler's careers.
