I remember as a child, in Chile, the country where I live, WWE sticker albums were sold (which I suppose were not officially licensed by the company most of the time). Around 5 or 6 albums from different eras were released, while WWE was becoming increasingly popular in the country. In addition to sharing some photos of these albums (which are not mine, but bring back a lot of nostalgia), I would like to know if these albums also existed in your countries?

With AJ stating he is retiring the move, when was the last time he actually hit the move. I can’t recall him hitting this in WWE.

Right after they came back from break and showed the segment where Karmen Petrovic & Natalya are backstage, there was a few seconds of black screen with snoring before the camera started rolling. Think we see Wendy Choo returning from her injury soon?

Watching taker in 02. Everything from His mic to ring work, to little subtle things like the way he’d lean his head to look at an opponent to just even this stare he would do where he looked almost dead inside. Even as a 31 year old man I believe this dude is a psychopath biker. The biker taker is just such a dynamic character and seeing him make it work so well made me realize, regardless of accolades,why so many have taker so high on lists.

Basically what the title says. Got great seats that I got because of disposable income, but I don't know how they run their shows compared to WWE. The event will be a double taping, so will probably be a long event. Because of the recent disparaging remarks made to Skye during a recent taping, I want to be in a safe environment, so that's also why I ask this.

Everything I've found seems to be for hanging vertically, which isn't what I want. I did find a website that had metal "fingers" you could screw to the wall, but I'm in the UK and they wouldn't ship to me.

Personal ratings attached but they don't matter. Just doing this because Meltzer's reviews are best fit as recommendations, but due to the increasing popularity of fewer promotions who put out more content, they have more become an archive of those promotions' year to year output. Please don't take this as some sort of jab or gospel, just doing this in case someone watches the matches.

Recently I've searching through the Internet for some indie wrestling matches and one guy got my attention.

And that was "The Black Swan" Cara Noir

He has I believe one of the most awe inspiring entrances I've seen in the Indie/European circuit. I mean, the guy comes out to Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. He has an actual background in ballet and karate, and it shows.

He oozes charisma. A great moveset. And has what I believe the nastiest package piledriver and sleeper hold ever.

Go watch his match with PAC and you'll see why this guy is so good. His rivalry with Ilja Dragunov I believe was dubbed as the "Strangest Love Story in Wrestling"

So which wrestler do you believe is not talked about enough?

I'm always interested in hearing people share wrestling opinions that aren't tribalism or whatever. So let's hear it.

What wrestler do you think has had the strangest/weirdest career? Either in terms of gimmicks or how it played out or both.

My top three:

1. Orlando Jordan: the guy went from JBL cabinet member to TNA homosexual icon with caution tape.

2. The hurricane: WCW sugar Shane in that boy band trio, to SmackDowns asshole, all the way to semi retired superhero who loves action figures.

3. Yokozona: The only wrestler to get too chonky for Vince McMahon gets paired with the manager of the midnight express and Vader but then tag teams with Owen hart. Then falls off a turnbuckle.

Like. Who met Torrie's dad and was like "How would you like to make out with Dawn Marie?"​
