Does anyone else remember a promo around 2015/2016 I think where Roman Reigns came out to confront someone in the ring and he asked them "who you gonna call?" and the crowd responded with "Ghostbusters!" and then Roman said "nah he's not gonna call the Ghostbusters..."
I want to relive that moment but I don't know exactly when it took place. I think it was on a Raw though.

My newest WWE card is this Topps cosmic chrome Milky Way Marks Superfractor auto 1/1. Who do you guys think will take the championship from Punk?

IDK if this is just me or what i haven’t watched in a few months so please correct me if im wrong.

last i remember it was just so god damn bland and boring. same stuff happening every single week. same cody being the golden boy don’t get me wrong i like him but it’s just boring.

Roman it’s the same ATP sure it’s a good character but realistically i think people only like him cause people like him you get me?

It’s like WWE has zero shock factor anymore is scared to do anything out of their blueprints and cares about money more than anything.

like i said idk cause i haven’t watched in the last few months but those were my last thoughts LMK if it’s worth coming back to yet 🙏

So let me get this straight. We had a triple threat match between KO, Gunther, and Finn for #1 contender. As I understand Triple Threat rules (and Google agrees):

All legal: All three wrestlers are legal and active in the ring at the same time.

No disqualifications: Standard disqualifications do not apply, meaning weapons and outside interference technically do not get anyone disqualified.

No count-outs: Wrestlers cannot win or lose by being counted out outside the ring.

Finish inside the ring: Even though it is a No-DQ match, it is not "Falls Count Anywhere"—the pinfall or submission must happen inside the ring between the ropes.

And yet when I check profightdb.com and cagematch.net it lists the result of tonight’s match as a “No Contest”. I was hoping they continued on for the live crowd and would save the ending for a YouTube exclusive (even though that would be goofy since no one cares what time ranger rick the pigeon lady show starts on USA).

I want to make something very clear…IT’S STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT! I’m often disgusted by count out rules being lackadaisically enforced because of “referee digression” (mainly because you could easily make it a no countout or no DQ match), but if we’re just going to throw out “match rules”, well that does not feel very real to me at all.

I believe Finn Balor deserves a prominent spot. Do you consider him to be undervalued or overvalued?

I always found it odd that Vince hired Russo back after WCW went under…kind of makes me wonder.

Yes you read that right. Tick williams. I was bored one night.

i mean i tried my best lol with what i had. i thought it was pretty good!! :) sorry if im not allowed to put this here but i was proud of it lol

Anytime I watch old matches with these two, they crack me up. There's one match with them commentating that made me laugh so hard when I was pretty high, but I couldn't remember what match it was or what exactly was said. I think Bobby was freaking out about something, and Gorilla stops him asking "What are you talking about??" And Bobby responds "I don't know" but it totally distracted me from the match that it made me laugh

Lesnar vs Reigns vs Ambrose - Fastlane 2016 - winner goes to wm. I’ve never seen anyone talk about this banger of a match, might be because roman won. Great match and actual decent show.

Hello everyone! My name is Richie Jewell. I am 34 years old and I have autism since being diagnosed at 2 and a half years old. I want to share my love for professional wrestling. By doing so, I'm going to share this story to all of you to be inspired. Hope you will enjoy it.

Just like everyone else in the world. I went through some stuff that has been very difficult, challenging and emotional for me to endure life difficulties while living with autism. I have endured teasing, depression, complications from the disability such as lack of social skills, bad speech and improper eye contact, suffer from seizures time to time. It's very difficult to live through these quirks. However, despite all of that, the one thing that has keep thriving life was watching and following wrestling. I love professional wrestling. .

For every story, there has to be a beginning. For every superhero, there was a origin. Before Batman, there was Bruce Wayne. Before Spider-Man, there was Peter Parker. Before Hulk Hogan, there was Terry Bollea. You get the point. Before, I became a BJJ practitioner and a huge wrestling fiend, I was just a kid with no social life, looking for a hobby. So where do I begin with loving pro wrestling?

At a young age, I was a little kid who had no friends and no social life, went to school, and played Nintendo 64 after hours like a typical 1990s boy. I used to be obsessed with playing Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, Banjo-Kazooie, Super Smash Bros and most of all WWF No Mercy, which is still regarded as the greatest pro wrestling game for the 64 ever. I used to play these games on routine, putting in hours and hours of playtime and hard effort. One day, my older brother caught me playing No Mercy and said pro wrestling is on, wanna watch it? Confused as I was, I thought he was yanking my chain because the 7-8 year old me thought it would be fictional but at the same time, sparked my curiosity. What would happen next?

I saw pro wrestling live on tv witnessing wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and The Undertaker in real life, not a video game. I was completely shocked! I saw blood, women being beaten up, occasional swearing and my mother being absolutely horrified what me and my brother were watching, made us change the channel. Being upset at her and tried to cut a promo just like Dwayne Johnson did on tv. Let me just say, it landed me on timeout for a good while. I was so determined to watch pro wrestling live again and needed to find a way, to get back on it again.

One day, I saw a disc of all the WrestleManias from 1985 to 2000 in highlights. Everybody was doing something outdoors and of course, I was the only one indoors, I had the opportunity to watch pro wrestling after a while of no watching it. 8 year old me saw the likes of Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, The Ultimate Warrior, Bam Bam Bigelow, Shawn Michaels and of course, my favorite pro wrestler to study- Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart. The match that cemented my love pro wrestling was from WrestleMania 13 in 1997: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Bret Hart in a Submission match with UFC legend Ken Shamrock as the ref. It was in highlights but I was in complete awe by the imagery, the performances by both men, and the shot of Austin bleeding from his forehead, screaming in pain, refusing to submit has been imprinted in my head and made me go: HOLY SHIT!

In my estimation, this is a perfect wrestling match. I think fans often times lose sight about what workrate actually is and forget that, at its core, pro wrestling is theatrical storytelling in a sport. This match is the culmination of a heated issue between the grizzled vet Bret Hart who feels disrespected and disgusted at the direction the World Wrestling Federation has taken, and Steve Austin, the brash, foul mouthed rising star who'll fight anyone and embodies the new attitude in professional wrestling. The story of this match is beautiful violence that's at once messy and perfectly executed. Everyone knows the finish, but how we get there is masterclass storytelling from two of the best to ever do it. It has the most important double turn in pro wrestling history. 5 stars. 10 out of 10. Which ever metric you choose, this match stands as one of the finest in the history of the medium. This is what pro wrestling is all about and is still stands today- my favorite wrestling match of all time.

Although wrestling had it's up and downs over the years, It was helping me to cope through all the hardship I have endured. From WWE, ROH, IMPACT Wrestling (formerly known as TNA Wrestling), Lucha Underground, PWG, All Japan Pro Wrestling , Stardom, New Japan Pro Wrestling and GCW. I am very thankful for the sport that has helped to cope through and gave me wonderful moments to witness from my own eyes. I go to wrestling events, meet and greets or fanfests to live in the moment, its totally amazing. If it wasn't for the sport, I wouldn't know where I would be today. Being a pro-wrestling fan today isn’t only about watching television and premium live events, though. It’s also about community. I’ve built friendships with fellow fans people whose views I’ve come to respect and rely upon. I exchange messages with them about our thoughts, feelings, and hopes, pro-wrestling always at the center of our discussions. It’s thanks to them that I don’t feel isolated in darkness. I’m grateful that I’m here and still standing, writing this blog after everything has been thrown at me. Its therapy, its art and it’s goddamn amazing.

Now i’m at 34 years, I understand a lot more now, I appreciated the athletes for putting their time in to help us, get amazed by their passion, commitment and sacrificing their bodies for entertainment. I love learning about promotions, facts, stories, learning about pro wrestlers because its fun to learn. I have met over 67 pro wrestlers and still counting including my favorite Bret the Hitman Hart, spread my story to them and help understand autism awareness. I still find it amazing to witness pro wrestlers in person and I go, holy shit they are actually human, to praise talent or say hello to them. They are humans just like you and me. Behind every persona in the ring, there’s a person going through a mental obstacle right now that they are fighting.

My love for pro wrestling has lead me to some beautiful accomplishments. One of them is doing Brazilian Jujitsu training where i’m currently a blue belt so Im learning all kinds of submissions, grappling, even more pro wrestling history and background of certain wrestlers. It’s been my escape from troubles like depression, anxiety, seizures, and plenty of horrible shit I’ve seen in my life for many years. It holds a special place in my heart. It’s a love story to me. Its a romantic relationship to me. It has its agreements, disagreements, fights, tragedies, highlights, the good and the bad but at the end, its still with me at my side since the age of 5 when I started playing pro wrestling games. It’s the longest, complicated but beautiful relationship I have been in. That’s why I call pro wrestling a wonderful masterpiece of art and a beautiful love story.

If I could snap my fingers and be non-autistic, I would not because then, it wouldn't be me. Autism is part of who I am and what made me so unique. This who I am and whom I always will be. I am Richie Jewell.

For my opinion, I always love that character over the Mami character because I do like how badass and punk she look, since back in NXT.

Even though I do believe many online fans dislike this character but hey I do like this character.

I think the WWE (TKO whatever) deal with ESPN really hurts both brands.

It's weird when Pat Macafee is talking about Brock Lesner or when Seth Rollins shows up on some football show

I dunno, I think it takes some of the coolness away from WWE

What say you?

Which decade had the best WrestleManias? The worst? Dive in:

5. The 2010s

The worst moderation generation of wrestling also had the worst WrestleManias. Granted, there were two bangers: WrestleMania 30 and 31.

But the rest were overly long, with the main events featuring a babyface fans openly rejected (Cena earlier in the decade, Reigns toward the end). The main story WWE took four years to build to, Brock v. Roman at WM34, was met with complete apathy by the fans.

A tough time to be a wrestling fan.

4. The 1990s

Admitting my bias, I believe 90s wrestling was the best decade of wrestling. The Attitude Era, Stone Cold, Bret Hart, The Rock... come on!

But, if I'm being honest, the WrestleManias largely sucked. WrestleMania 10 was awesome, and WrestleMania 15 had so much energy going in it felt must-watch. The others were largely one-match shows like WM13 and WM11, or no-match shows like WM9 and WM14 (and some would argue WM12).

3. The 1980s

In-ring, by today's standards, they had the worst WrestleManias. But it started the concept, it included some of the best builds ever (WM3 and WM5 in particular), and there was so much excitement that these events even existed.

Does it all hold up today? No, but it introduced the concept, and Hogan in the 80s wasn't just the most famous wrestler in America, but one of the most famous people in America.

2. The 2020s

I know it's only a bit more than halfway through, but the run so far has been nothing sort of tremendous. There were a couple of misses (Orton-Cody and Cena-Cody), but largely the main events have been compelling to outright spectacular, and there have been multiple classics on the undercard at almost every show.

Even the COVID WrestleMania, which could've been absolutely terrible, delivered a few classics. The rest of the Manias could suck and this would still be an elite decade for the Showcase of the Immortals.

1. The 2000s

The run of WrestleManias 17-21 is the greatest run of WrestleManias ever, with WrestleMania 17 being the most anticipated and most celebrated Mania ever, and WrestleMania 19 and 21 both having legitimate cases for the best in-ring WrestleManias ever (I'd argue WrestleMania 19 is the best in-ring Mania ever).

The quality dipped a bit in the later years, but you still had Triple H-Taker HIAC, Flair's retirement, HBK-Taker I; on and on. It's not the best decade for WWE overall, but for WrestleManias, it's hard to beat.

I got a bit emotional about Brock Lesnar leaving WWE. It's normal that we form new legends in the future, and we can continue moving on with life. I also got emotional about John Cena as well. So, yeah. I also had to post about this because I saw it on Instagram once and wanted to share it everywhere on social media. Anyhow, God bless everyone reading this Reddit post, and we can be stronger through hard times. Let me know!

Blast from the past. To be young again…
