It's ironic how the most recognizable image of Andre the Giant wasn't his prime self when he had thicker hair, was way more mobile, wrestled in tights, but when he wore a black singlet and health wise, was on the decline

Its a testament to the sheer amount of aura he had despite the constant pain and operating at a fraction of his physical prime. Dude felt like a legit final boss of a videogame, his theme song Ava Satanus, which was introduced in WWE 2K14 definitely added to his mythology. He is part of the Brute Squad.

Wrestling Jobs (DFW Area)

Howdy, I'm a 20 year old in the DFW area and am looking to find a job for a company or literally anything in wrestling. I'm not a wrestler but I am willing to do anything from marketing to maintenance. Does anyone have any advice on how to find something or where to even look? For some context I worked at a school where I was the Director of Maintenance and also am an Assistant Event Director for a weekly cycling series. (I know it sounds stupid to leave that but that's a story for later)

Is in-ring consistency being valued more than long-term storytelling in modern pro wrestling?

Been watching a lot of wrestling across WWE, AEW, and even TNA lately, and something I can’t shake is how the focus seems to be shifting.

There’s no doubt the in-ring quality right now is insane. Week to week, you’re getting matches that would’ve been “big PPV matches” a few years ago. But at the same time, I feel like long-term storytelling sometimes takes a back seat, or gets reset too quickly when momentum dips or crowd reactions change.

It makes me wonder, are we in a phase where promotions are prioritizing match quality and weekly buzz over patience with long-term character arcs?

Or do you think it’s just that storytelling has evolved, and we’re seeing it play out differently than before?

As much as I dislike this guy, but he basically nuked his so-called “retirement” at WM & when he does “retire”, it would mean absolutely nothing at this point

COLLECTION OF MEXICAN MAGAZINES "LUCHAS 2000" AND "SUPERLUCHAS"

I'm offering a fairly complete collection of Mexican wrestling magazines, including:

✔️ Super Luchas, issues 1-180 (starting with Year 1, No. 1). Only 28 issues are missing.

✔️ Luchas 2000, issues 64-160. Only 16 issues are missing.

These are original Mexican editions and are in very good condition. They show no signs of dampness, have no missing pages, and the staples are strong. They have been stored in a dry environment.

Rico Constantino Says Vince McMahon Released Him After Asking For Raise

Rico Spoke to Chris Van Vliet About Billy & Chuck, WWE Debut At 40, Ruthless Aggression, Early Matches with John Cena & Brock Lesnar.

Constantino’s WWE main roster run started in March 2002 and ended in late 2004, with his official release date coming after the standard 90-day window in February 2005. He laid out the contract math.

Rico Constantino has shared the specific exchange that led to his WWE release in November 2004, telling Insight with Chris Van Vliet that he asked Vince McMahon for a $1,000-a-week raise after completing his original rookie contract and was told he was being released because he was not popular.

“I went and asked Vince for a raise because I had already been under fulfilled my three year rookie contract. I’ve held the tag titles twice, once with Akishi, once with Toss, you know, and I was going to almost every show, and on TV, you know, I said I want $1,000 a week. Yeah, I thought I was worth it. And I was about to come out, Charlie and I and Jackie wrote to come out on the SmackDown magazine front cover, and he told me I wasn’t popular.”
