Wrestling & MMA / Bob Ryder found dead at his home

« on: November 25, 2020, 02:57:12 PM »

From Meltzer


Bob Ryder was found dead at his home in Nashville by police today.  We don't know more but he had fallen yesterday and was on advanced chemo.  Impact officials couldn't get in touch with him and went to his home and he never answered, police were called and found him dead.

Season 2 with the Chris Benoit story is amazing and will break your heart several times.


Part 2 features formerly a1’s own Matt Randazzo aka JohntheBaltist a lot.


Must see.

Jericho took everyone to promo school. Nearly 3 decades in the business and still going strong.

Bill Watts is also taking over 205 Live. They’re negotiating with Jerry Jarrett for Main Event.

Kickoff cruiserweight match was a good start.


Becky opening the main show means she will be the special guest referee in the main event.

Why would Corbin get Seth’s girlfriend to ref his match?

And after WWE starts getting huge money from Fox, they'll be able to afford paying huge dollar amounts to guys just to keep them from going elsewhere.

They’re doing that now. People are still turning them down like Youngbucks.

I hope WWE realizes Becky/Ronda is the hottest thing in the company right now and need to close out Mania.


Becky is also the most over wrestler. They will most likely make it a 3 way, but it’d be smarter to keep it Ronda vs Becky and Charlotte vs Asuka.


Use the Becky tap out to build up champion vs champion post mania with Asuka. Have Charlotte put over Asuka a year later for her first loss.

That was an amazing show. I liked it more than wrestle kingdom.


Triple H has another hit on his hands.

There’s no way Maverick was going to work with the juvenile way they booked him from the start with the AOP baby clothes he’d wear to look like them.


They should get a serious manager. Right now that tag team is doomed, no pun intenteded.

I believe that’s been debunked by Ellering himself. Paul said he loved traveling on the road. WWE (Vince) felt he was too old.


Triple H a couple of months ago said Vince barely watches NXT, only clips. So he wouldn’t know how well Paul and his algorithm narrative of working with two young big guys to success went over in NXT.

Is hilarious!! Vince and Kevin Dunn really understand comedy.


The fans chanting A O Pee Pee is exactly how you build up your monster tag champs.

Last two matches were matches of the night.


Ronda and Charlotte had THE match of the night. They treated this like a dirty mma match. Charlotte is better as a heel. Ronda is just Kurt angle levels of being a natural in the ring. Wonder if this changes mania plans. Let the women go on last. They’re the hottest thing right now.


Except Nia Jaxx. Fuck that. Nuclear x-pac heat and Vince rewards her.


Heel Bryan is amazing. Once punishing him was over, the fun started. Brock has fun wrestling once a year and it’s Survivor Series.


Everything else on the show sucked. Vince thinks Smackdown is nitro and just shits all over it.


Enzo snuck in as a fan and got kicked out. Wish this were ECW or Bill Watts era NWA where the locker room would have beaten him in the parking lot.

The women’s match shouldn’t have had any stipulations since they rushed it, but I thought it was still a great overbooked match setting up the 3 on 3 program. Shirai’s moonsault was perfection. Kairi Saine’s elbows are amazing. Plus those spots on the apron wow.


Dream vs Ciampa and Black vs Gargano are interchangeable in terms of match of the night.


Dream did so much in homages to Hogan, Bret, Shawn, and Savage seamlessly into the match and Ciampa did great character work, including throwing paper at Ranallo as an improv reaction.


Black vs Gargano was just perfect in story and time. Vince will absolutely ruin these guys on main.


The actual war games match should just have been shorter. It was very memorable and Triple or whoever booked so many staged iconic moments like the tower of doom, both teams facing each other middle of both rings evenly, Richoechet doing things only he can off the cage.


Riddle winning in 6 seconds was also very over asca match that wasn’t supposed to happen and had no time for.

You guys must have watched a different show than everyone else.


That was another Takeover that delivered huge and will overshadow the main roster ppv tonight.

That was Batista’s idea. He wants to end his careee against Triple H because he feels it’d be a good story. He’s been pitching it for the past couple of years. I don’t he cares to comeback just for the sake of it.

I figured it was Okada as well. He had a very important story to tell for Marty to put him over while pinning him.


I think that and the Hangman Page match went long.

They’re back for Evoluution ironically. Vince thinks the twins are the most famous women in wrestling due t having two hit reality shows no wrestling fans actually watch.


They should be wrestling The Iconics, but Nikki is rumored to wrestle Ronda in the main event.


Also Bree Mode is supposed to be super over as a thing.

I think Drew and Dolph only got the belts so they can drop to Seth and Dean. That way Shield holds all the gold.


Rebooting the AOP is a step in the right direction, but random.


A lot of random booking.


- KO is back after quitting. Could have been an interesting storyline.
- Chad Gable and Bobby Roode are a Tag team for no reason. Gable is such a great wrestler but they don’t care and he’s stuck with nothing to do. He would be a huge star outside the WWE.


WWE really think the Bellas are up there with the Hart’s and Von Erich’s as a prestigious wrestling family. They’re exactly what was wrong with the women’s division before the revolution started.
