The Amazing Red has retired. There was a spell in the early to mid 2000s where that guy was an insane amount of fun to watch. Then his knees got fucked. He remained decent but never really hit the early heights. 

Certainly miles better than the two SAT imbeciles he used to team with. Those guys were laughably bad.

Full schedule for the weekend - https://www.voicesofwrestling.com/wrestlemania-weekend-2019-schedule-map/
Really hyped for United we Stand & the NJPW/G1 Supercard. Hopefully catch some Masato Tanaka at the weekend too.
There are some incredible matches taking place all week, but somehow I want to see Scott Steiner Vs Hornswoggle more than anything else.

I'll be keeping an eye on Fight for Destiny as the final team for Fight Club PRO's DTTI near the end of the month is getting confirmed. WrestleCon Supershow should be a lot of fun. Already shared my excitement for ROH/NJ.

I was sure David Starr vs. Masato Tanaka was a thing happening that weekend, but I can't find it.

Also has the boat already left for Strowman? He was hot as f**k last year now he's on the kick off show? Jesus.

They've certainly messed him up big time.

He's probably been the biggest casualty of the never ending Reigns/Lesnar. They had a chance to push him to the moon and fucked it. I don't think it can't be rectified in the future, but he shouldn't be as irrelevant now as he is.

On the Chyna HoF induction. If everyone is so happy about her going in, why not just her? Why DX? It's deliberate to not shine too much light on her, but still ticking off that box.

Can't have a PG rated public company with a target audience of 8-13yrs going around parading a big time up the bum porn star as a named inductee of their hall of fame, right? In-ring achievements and professional influence & impact are one thing, but the combined collateral damage from her very very very VERY public breakdowns have made sure that any chance of a solo induction in this world are as close to zero as you can get.

f**k all to do with her time in the ring, much like Austin's wife beating or anything else.

The HOF has little to do with in ring stuff (although Chyna had plenty in her ring!)

The adult entertainment career is just a convenient excuse they can use for me.  For me she was never going to go in in any guise when she was alive, because I don't think they trusted that she would play ball.  After all the things she's said, would you give her a live mic?  And with HHH now running large parts of the company, I can't imagine he's too happy to have her standing there with a mic after all the horrific stuff she's accused him of.

Now she's deid, I think they probably would have put her in on her own, but putting her in as DX serves a few purposes for them.  They can "pay tribute" in their own way, without it being all about her, and then quietly forget about her.  Shame, she absolutely deserves to be in, but her very public struggles put paid to that.

Said in a much better way that I managed after many accidental Thursday night pints :lol: I'm almost as much of a shambles as Joanie was.

In her later life Chyna was a complete PR liability, I don't blame the execs at all for disregarding her. For all we know, this could always have been the case during her time with the WWF, but as we see all to well these days, the office can mostly bury any questionable personality traits before the fans get a real glimpse of their life, especially so back in the pre social media days.
