The 2026 Summer Wrestling Thread! Feat G1 36! Forbidden Door/ALL IN WEMBLEY! SAUDI BULLSHIT! SUMMERSLAM!

Happy Hot Wrestling Summer, graps fans!

This weekend features Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia… on Saturday (yay?) Forbidden Door on Sunday and then on July 2nd The G1 Climax tournament kicks off!

Here’s your G1 lineup so far, with the more up to date filled in schedule below

Night of Champions looks like this:

Whereas in typically hilarious fashion, here’s AEW’s offering

And after that, we are on our way to ALL IN WEMBLEY and Summerslam in Minnesota for Brock’s probable, actual retirement.

So let’s do it to it, wrasslin, that is!

Last night’s AEW highlight was Ospreay absolutely stacking it on his arse and making all the Death Riders corpse uncontrollably in the first minute. Also dragging a random 5* out of ELP, but that’s besides the point.

Far, far, just way too much ‘rassling on currently especially this weekend. Gunther gotta be winning the belt though SURELY.

Forbidden Door, their PPVs are always class but not sure if I can stomach a hundred hours of it. Main event, Zack/Kenny, Mistico-Bucks-Shingo party thing, and Ospeay/Swerve will all be grand but it’s too hot and World Cup.

Thankfully I have Monday off to try and catch up, but then I’m also gonna be travelling back from Londom to Norwich so may need to speed run some of it

That’s the least appetising WWE card for years

Jey Uso, still?!

He might actually win too seeing as Brock/Oba at Summerslam gotta be a lock. If it’s not it’s absolutely outrageous they let him win in Italy, criminal.

That Night of Champions card looks rough

I’ll probably still watch that shit.

Two night card though so what they should do is have him retire Brock one night and win the title the other (maybe even other way round) but ya know, it’s PAUL and the boys.

Surely, SURELY, Oba is going over Jey though, bro is cooked and everyone knows it

For a minute I thought you meant they should have them retire Brock one night and have Brock win the title the very next night. Somewhere out there Russo just punched the air and doesn’t know why.

Oh no but I could see if they make it night two a “title vs career” match

Meltzer losing the plot over AEW crowd reactions was fun

Evergreen post really, but I think he does a lot of it to draw attention to himself. The stuff where Alvarez gets mad at him and he basically cant understand the counterargument is still funny though.

Feel like I’m being gaslit by people saying this looks good

Nah, total shite. The lucha style is what turned me off AEW, just looks soooooo fake

Works for me. Wouldn’t want to see him do that kind of thing in a PPV grudge match but for quick pop on a throwaway Dynamite why not show off?

I do have a high tolerance for luchabollocks though.

See also the Omega/ZSJ “beatdown”

Trying to focus on the positives in AEW but snuffling out the tasty truffles from the mud is difficult rn

Chelsea Green’s run-in with the kendo stick was so good and funny

Her comedic timing and pratfall ability is unmatched

Just started watching and the crowd can’t even get the “ooh” during Oba’s entrance right. It’s sounded like they were going “ooh ooh” in quick succession and sounded all sorts of wrong for a number of reasons.
