This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.

Rules: (Click to expand)

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

6. Banned Source(s).

So I'm guessing that The Final Boss Rock is going to be the replacement for the Power tripping ego filled Mr McMahon character.

Threatening to fire a ref mid match for doing his job is text book Mr McMahon.

Edit: pulling the ref out the ring mid count [βœ“]

He just needs to beat the shit out of a ref and have his daughter come down in a ref shirt.

He has said he won't just disappear going forward, so I would think that is highly likely, maybe not around a lot, but a lot more than we are used to from The Rock.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I'm kinda hoping he takes the heel boss route, Mr McMahon Was a great character and the rock is a natural at that overly over confident ego filled narcissistic asshole.

Triple H would have been great but I don't want to see him in the ring taking bumps anymore, plus everyone knows he's a big softy who loves his wrestlers like his own children.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm down for this. As you said HHH can't bump anymore and (any problems aside) he's too face right now and should remain so as long as he's around. Rock can do the things that are needed for an evil boss character real well (as long as he doesn't overstay his welcome. Don't leave, but don't be on every episode for 30 mins either.)

Having an asshole boss who gets what's coming to him is how you get the older viewers back, it's what made Austin V McMahon so popular, most workers have had the thought of fighting their terrible boss and got to live vicariously through Austin beating his boss up every single week., that and the fact Austin is the greatest crowd worker in WWE history.
