There's no way they give that title to Generico. They should, but they're not going to.

Orton nearly killing one of the Bollywood Boys. His reaction is priceless.

At least we have a front-running Contender for Pro Wrestling Observer's award for Worst promotional tactic of 2017.

Put the top title on a jobber in order to try to get more business in a country he's not really even from? Yeah. It is pretty bad.

It's unbelievably cynical in both how stupid it treats the Indian market (uh hey this talentless Canadian who's like half Indian is gonna be the champ spend more money dammit!) as well as the U.S./Canada/Europe etc (we know you're dumb enough to keep spending money on our garbage even if we don't even try to pretend it's not terrible!).

This Botchamania ending will forever be funny to me.

Probably too much to hope for Goldust to get another title run of any kind at this point but man, this dude has turned back the clock like nobody else I've ever seen. He's been in enhancement hell forever but I KNOW the guy can still go and his character was one of the most important in WWE history in my opinion. I think that his theatrics would be a perfect answer to a lot of what's wrong with WWE if they'd just push him to the moon one last time. It's amazing how good he still is, both in the ring and on the stick.

Nice!

Unfortunately NJPW on AXS is months behind but it's still a great show, with good commentary.

And Lucha Underground is the best hour of wrestling television anywhere.

Meanwhile, after being granted a new lease on life Impact is wasting it by booking Jeremy Borash and former Panthers/Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams in separate matches at Slammiversary.

Renmauzo · Jun 2, 2017

I love those LU crowds; hottest crowds in wrestling that add to the action in a huge way.

Syn · Jun 2, 2017

I'm glad Netflix has the first two seasons as I always missed episodes during marathons.

I do miss the dish.

famicommander · Jun 2, 2017

By the way, everybody should really watch this week's Throwback Thursday above. Danielson/Morishima is legitimately one of the greatest matches of all time, and part of what helped establish Danielson as the legend he would become.

Syn · Jun 2, 2017

Morishima reminds me of Terry Gordy.

Arcademan · Jun 5, 2017

Sorry for not being around most of the weekend and especially last night's WWE Extreme Rules PPV results (family emergency). I'll try and post the complete results later tonight or tomorrow. Most of you already know who won and such but I like to leave the results for prosperity. Thank you and again sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused.

You thought they should've booked the dream match of Borash vs. Williams, too?

norton9478 · Jun 6, 2017

At least we have a runner up Contender for Pro Wrestling Observer's award for Worst promotional tactic of 2017

In this week’s Sports Business Journal story on “the greying of sports,” John Lombardo and David Broughton analyzed 25 years of Nielsen data. They found that the median age TV viewer has gotten older for every sport except women’s tennis. And no sport (or pseudo-sport) has seen its TV viewers get older than WWE. Since 2000, the median age of wrestling viewers has gone up 26 years.

In 2000, the median age of a pro wrestling viewer was 28. Now it’s 54, per the SBJ. The age of the wrestling audience nearly doubled in 17 years!

...

wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer said the average age of WWE fans between 1997 and 2001 was 23. The average age is now in the 40s, Meltzer tweeted today.

Maybe, just maybe, they should stop producing a children's show that is almost exclusively watched by an ever dwindling number of 45 year old dudes and then wondering why they continue to set new low ratings records
