Ibushi: "amateurs"

[–]RepulsiveStruggle781 63 points64 points  (2 children)

Ibushi at 41 years old and still getting thrown on his head by Takeshita is the embodiment of neck strong

[–]debotehzombieOne Man Con-Chair-To 59 points60 points  (1 child)

Ibushi isn't human. The man gave HIMSELF a back/neck bump. Onto thumbtacks. After a War Games/Blood and Guts match. After the cameras shut off.

Copeland and Danielson look like brothers who just came back from the salad bar.

Confirmed: Copeland is a bad friend for leaving out his best friend Christian Cage

[–]FatalTortoise 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Spoiler, he asked, but was told to go fuck himself

[–]Slatedtoprone 22 points23 points  (2 children)

Only needs him now that’s he the new guy with a stack of dimes for a neck. Wants to hide behind Cages greatness.

[–]Chronis67Possibly a nugget 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Christian is going to leave him like an Enzo Amore punchline. With zero dimes.

[–]RedditsWeirdUsername 243 points244 points  (11 children)

Seeing Bryan and Adam in the same ring last night, reminded me how much of a banger that Triple Threat was from WM 37.

[–]Mr_Snub 69 points70 points  (7 children)

It really was. All three guys were firing on all cylinders. Roman may have won, but nobody came out of that match looking bad.

[–]Bluejay929 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I still think about the shot of DBry locking in a yes lock on Roman while Edge also locks in a sub on Roman.

That shit looked legit painful and it lives rent free in my head

[–]Hamzah12 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Legit one of my favourite Mania matches and main events of all time

[–]Vladmerius 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Holy shit I didn't even know this match existed. Edge and DB got to main event WM37 in a triple threat with Roman?

[–]djjsin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Roman stacked em up and pinned both at the same time!

[–]joker2814 66 points67 points  (1 child)

I hope there’s a private version of this photo with Christian in it. He’s as much a medical miracle as the rest of them.

[–]HateIsAnArtKota Ibushi 67 points68 points  (0 children)

He actually has no neck and the turtleneck is keeping his head attached to his body.

[–]fakeplasticsnowWe built this city 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Jerry Lynn is clearly jealous of how Neck Strong these 3 are and is quietly plotting his revenge.

[–]harryhood10gooker 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Danielson looks like he just hit one. Saraya quite possibly, too.

[–]sneedo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bryan is straight edge so probably not.

[–]JamesF1423 17 points18 points  (0 children)

[–]tommybare 32 points33 points  (1 child)

Based on the skirmish yesterday, I hope someway, somehow, Bryan teams up with Adam Copeland and Adam Page. Just so we can have a team named Bryan Adams. And they can come out to the song "Everything I Do, I Do it For You", from Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.

[–]derekjosh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely ridiculous and absolutely must happen!

The NeckStrong Trio, with Roddy as their manager!

[–]FreeCloud4K 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Copeland is in incredibly shape for his age. I know it’s with assistance, but still impressive.

[–]Winning_in_Ashes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Roderick Strong is proud of them #neckstrong

[–]Low-Donkey7059 68 points69 points  (1 child)

This is what should be getting a spotlight today, not TK's online meltdown.

Three amazingly driven people, who we get to watch finish their careers on their terms. Genuinely inspiring.

Formerly he was with team RECK and now he’s on team NECK

[–]srjnp 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Perfect example of never listening to a single doctor's opinion about some serious injury or life-changing diagnosis. Get a few different medical opinions whenever you can. Glad they all never gave up despite someone telling them their career was over.

[–]CrumBum_sr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Edge is turning 50 in a few weeks!!!

[–]StannisClaypoolBelieve that, you faithless fool! 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Aww man now I miss Big E

[–]PickASwitch 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Don’t give up on him! It might not be over for him. Good vibes for that guy.

[–]TheCopperSparrowDDT! 12 points13 points  (2 children)

So, for me, at 37, these are things that I think about, I think about quality of life. When I started this job at 23 years old, and probably had a bit of a death wish and was okay dying in the ring; I now, at 37, would like to not die in the ring; I would like to do other things with my life." - Big E

Contrary to many wrestlers, it sounds like Big E actually wants to be able to walk when he's 50.

[–]King_of_Knowhere 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Respect, I think about how DB first announced being back in ring and just gets drilled with a buckle bomb on his neck on the ring appron. Like all the work to get back at it and it could have been one and done first night back at it.

[–]TheCopperSparrowDDT! 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. I don't understand it, especially for guys like Bryan and Edge who have already done it all basically. Like take your millions and retire guys. Enjoy life.

Meanwhile, it took Edge 1 match in AEW and he's already gotten dropped on his head during a botched tombstone.

[–]thatguywes88 3 points4 points  (1 child)

It’s crazy that Edge had a surgery in 2012 and didn’t think to ever have a follow-up or wonder if it might’ve fixed his neck enough until he crashed his bicycle riding with Sheamus. He could’ve been back way earlier.

[–]EdgefishLeader of the Edge Army 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I even remember when he had to give the news about his retirement and then seeing him wrestle like usual on 2020. I wouldn't have believe it back then.

[–]dzone25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Edge somehow looks the best of all 3 despite being the oldest

[–]spookybollocks 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Let the haters hate. The fact that they all got a 2nd life is remarkable.

[–]mostlybadopinions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WWE forever making us forget how tall their normal size guys used to be.

[–]OkComparison9699 4 points5 points  (1 child)

As Bryan Danielson said “if you fight for your dream, your dreams will fight for you”!

[–]Finehair77 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Such bullshit too

[–]Cloud2110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy how their careers were basically over at one point in history yet they managed to come back and consistently have matches in 2023

[–]Craft_BandicootCheck my pinned post: "A Viewer's Guide to the Entirety of ECW" 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This fucking rules so hard. Everything going on in wrestling pales in comparison to these three, or anyone, getting their livelihoods back and on their own terms.

[–]incredibleamadeuschoWe're all fake Jamaicans now 9 points10 points  (4 children)

I remember when both Edge and Bryan were attempting to come back, there were also people on their behalf saying that it is better if they stay retired. It was always a weird grandstanding opinion in my view. We all only get one life, and people should get to be able to fight for the life they want.

[–]LazarusKingEEEEEVVIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLL 14 points15 points  (3 children)

Nobody wants to see someone paralyzed.

[–]incredibleamadeuschoWe're all fake Jamaicans now 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Danielson was not in danger of paralyzation. Wrestling is inherently a risk for all who participate. If they get approved by medical personnel in charge, then that should be the end of it.

[–]LazarusKingEEEEEVVIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLL 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No but he wasn't doing good with the concussion issues. It took years for him to heal to the point they let him back in the ring.

And sometimes these guys need that. It sucks, but it is how it is. Paige came back too quickly and got fucked up again because of something fairly minor. Her commitment is admirable, but she's so young and already wrestling on borrowed time, it feels like.

[–]incredibleamadeuschoWe're all fake Jamaicans now 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s why I said if they are medically cleared. Danielson got cleared.

[–]NZTisgoodforyouShartin' Ain't Easy 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This is awesome after everything they've been through.

Side note: I now want to see a picture of Bryan, Adam, and Brian Adams in the ring together.

[–]GeekCritique 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That last guy main evented the first wrestling show I ever went to! :D

Just casually stopping by to remind people Saraya helped procure underage girls for her parents.

to wrestle or to fuck?

[–]Suchega_UberMake you laugh...until you cry. :) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both in some cases.

[–]senorbuzz 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’m sorry, what? How have I never heard this before? Not that I’m surprised but still

[–]deflen67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because it’s unsubstantiated rumour. I’d not be shocked if it were true mind, but it’s fully unconfirmed.

[–]LordHarza -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What?

[–]Prestigious_Region_6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never thought I'd would see the day that i would see edge saraya and bryan wrestling again im so glad they are back and have another chance at doing what they love after being forced to retire i missed them in the ring

[–]BamaFan87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[–]DamieN62 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The WWE equivalent for this photo would be Tyson Kidd, Big E and Jason Jordan. I wonder if it will happen someday.

[–]senorbuzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Big E would be the only one out of those 3 who could go back to any sort of a career again and he (so far) doesn’t want to. Jordan still has serious nerve issues and Kidd’s neck is held together by metal rods

To think that if he never fell off of his bike, he would’ve still thought of himself as damaged goods and we would have never seen him in the ring again. Now go kick Christian’s ass!
