KB’s Review: Yeah Not A Fan

October 4, 2022

So I had started another column this week but it wasn’t something I could really get behind. Given that it was about a tag team comprised of Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore in late 2007, there was only so much that I was going to be able to get out of it. I needed something else to talk about and then I saw something that caught my eye, but not in the best of ways. Last week, a fan complained about AEW only having one women’s match/segment. Dave Meltzer responded, asking if they were going to watch the pay per view tonight. What pay per view you ask? Well that would be a Stardom pay per view from Japan, which the fellow commenters pointed out over and over. They also pointed out that apparently the original fan, who said he cared about women’s wrestling, wasn’t a real fan because he didn’t know about Stardom. This is the kind of thing that drives me absolutely nuts as a fan because it is the most condescending, rude and flat out obnoxious kind of take that you can have. Rather than..

Live Fan Report From Smackdown Live, July 17, 2018

July 19, 2018

One of our readers, William Moore (aka “the man with two words for a name”) attended the July 17, 2018 Smackdown Live show from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Below is his review from the event and some of things you didn’t see on TV: TO confirm a previous post from Wrestling Rumors the show did start off with a pre live dark match of the USOS vs The BAR. This match was about 10 minutes in length. It was a typical back and forth match with the USOS winning the match with about 5 minutes to spare before going live. The arena was only about 75% full with a good majority of the 2nd level covered. Which is a shame that the arena could not sell out with it only being about a 8.500 seat arena. After the match the ring crew hurried and put a fresh cover on the ring. They played a replay of the drop the mic episode that featured the Bellas, Alicia Fox, and Carmella. As you saw Hardy opened the show to a nice ovation. First match AJ Styles vs Cien Almas. AJ did his usual..

June 28, 2017

Lawler is joined on today’s show by his co-host <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/jerry-lawler" title="Jerry Lawler">Jerry Lawler</a>.Lawler begins today’s show speaking about the MizTV segment from RAW this week, which featured LaVar Ball and his two sons. He says that this was certainly a silly segment, but it undoubtably accomplished its goal of getting people to talk about Monday Night RAW.Lawler says that ‘wrestling purists’ who had a major issue with this segment need to chill out and settle down. WWE tries to be topical and if they have an opportunity to <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/bring/" title="bring">bring</a> someone on RAW who has been in the public eye, they’ll do it every single time.Moore mentions that Cody Rhodes dropped Lawler’s name on his conference call earlier this week. Rhodes was asked who he’d like to wrestle moving forward and he said Kenny <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/omega/" title="Omega">Omega</a> and Jerry Lawler. Lawler says he’d absolutely accept the invitation to face Rhodes one on one, and he anticipates that could happen in the very near future.

June 21, 2017

Lawler is joined on today’s show by his co-host Glenn Moore.Lawler informs that he appeared at the Comicon in Washington, DC this past weekend. He says that he had a great time there and he was able to see a lot of old friends. WWE Superstars Charlotte Flair and Nakamura even made an appearance on Saturday.A listener writes into the show and asks Lawler which current WWE Superstar would fit well in Memphis Wrestling back in the day. Lawler says that he worked as the top babyface in Memphis for a long time, so their goal was always to find big, strong heels to work against him. Guys like Kamala and <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/bam-bam-bigelow" title="Bam Bam Bigelow">Bam Bam Bigelow</a> fit that mould.In that sense, there are a number of guys in WWE today that would work out well in Memphis. Lawler says that they would have made a lot of money with someone like <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/brock-lesnar" title="Brock Lesnar">Brock Lesnar</a> in Memphis back in the day. They could also do wonders with talents such as Baron Corbin, Bray Wyatt and of course <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/braun-strowman" title="Braun Strowman">Braun Strowman</a>.

Dinner with the King Recap – Creating ‘The King’ Gimmick, Opinions of McMahon/Ross/The Rock, Great Balls of Fire! More!

June 7, 2017

Lawler is joined on today’s show by his co-host Glenn Moore.Lawler informs that he injured his knee recently and it might require some attention in the near future. He recently visited a doctor with his son and the doctor told him that his son’s knees are three times worse than his, and his son is looking at a double knee replacement surgery. Lawler considers himself lucky to have been wrestling for 46 years and he has never required a knee surgery.Lawler worked a cage match recently and had ‘The Mouth of the South’ Jimmy Hart in his corner for the match. He says that the cage was actually a very stable structure which surprised him, because he has worked in some pretty sad looking cages during his career. He informs that Hart threw his megaphone into cage at one point during the match and that reminded him of a cage match he worked against ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage many years ago.Savage had Miss Elizabeth accompany him to the ring, and at one point she jumped into the cage. When she tried to climb back out of the cage, Lawler grabbed her skirt and the <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/whole/" title="whole">whole</a> skirt came right off. The Memphis crowd got <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/quite/" title="quite">quite</a> a show that evening. Lawler says that Elizabeth was a tremendous talent both as a <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/valet/" title="valet">valet</a> and as an in-ring worker.

Dinner with the King Recap – ‘This is Your Life’ Reaction, Invading the ECW Arena, Hatred from Fans, More!

June 1, 2017

Lawler opens today’s show speaking about the ‘This is Your Life’ segment featuring <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/alexa-bliss" title="Alexa Bliss">Alexa Bliss</a> and <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/bayley" title="Bayley">Bayley</a> on this week’s episode of RAW. He says that WWE probably wishes they had another opportunity to re-write this or scrap it altogether, because it certainly didn’t go as planned.He says that you have to give WWE creative a break from time to time because they’re producing 5 hours of live television every single week of the year, and not everything is going to be must-see television. It’s impossible to write the best segment of all time every single show, so he has no issue cutting WWE some slack on this segment.Moore says he’s not buying that, and he feels that somewhere along the way someone should have pulled this segment from the show. It was very difficult to watch and it probably should have been scrapped during rehearsals. Lawler says that he’s worked on RAW and Smackdown for many years and he has seen a lot of stuff that was hard to watch. Sometimes things just don’t turn out the way you hope.Lawler also points out that this was live television, and anything can happen on live television. <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/vince-mcmahon" title="Vince McMahon">Vince McMahon</a> and the company’s philosophy is that nothing can go wrong on live television, because whatever happens happens.
