Friday Night Party Thread: August 16, 2019

We made it!

Actual discussion I had with some of my Twitter friends: imagine an alternate timeline where Ken Shamrock, having lost badly on the TUF1 finale as he did, announced his retirement after the show and stuck with it.  He returns to pro wrestling full-time, signs with WWE, and debuts after WrestleMania 21 (don’t worry, I did the research, the timeline checks out).  Now, obviously, he doesn’t have his last ten fights where he goes 2-8, but more to the point, you would get a guy who’s only just past 40, has Attitude Era cred, can work face or heel, and help beef up the midcard.  Would you want that?

While you discuss, here’s another free match to watch.  Refereeing can be hard, but Bryce Remsburg makes it look so easy you don’t even need to watch the wrestlers to follow the match.  Here’s proof, from Spring Break 3:

(Yes, he’s wearing Janela’s glasses.  It makes sense in context.)

Enjoy the weekend!
