Pro Wrasslin' Thread

in the words of Billy Mays, "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!"

[NailedPenguin]

There is no way mean mark callous grew his hair back like that. Who's his stylist?

[iamjs]

I still don't understand how there is a Balor Club when there are no other members in the club besides Finn himself.

[shafnutz05]

Those Brie botches... Lol. She's taking advice from Daniel on how to sustain max concussions.

Also, after watching the one where she is jumping right, no way that is Logan's fault

[skullman80]

The one is definitely on Logan. Brie was waiting to get punched...she wasn't diving. The other is all Brie's fault. In any event she shouldn't be doing those at all

[iamjs]

I'm still not sure what to think. I can see where it would look like Logan's fault for being back a step too far, but the way Brie hit the middle rope makes it look really, really awkward.

The Bellas are garbage. WWE keeps trying to convince us that the Bellas were the front runners of the women's revolution but that's rewriting history. Just because they were still around during the revolution doesn't mean they had anything to do with it. AJ Lee had way more to do with it than either of the Bellas.

[Morkle]

I don't see how they're popular. IMO, I think there are 1-2 solid women wrestlers. Everything the women do just always look clunky and off.

I would argue that there are more than that. Charlotte, Becky, Sasha, Asuka, Bayley, Natalya, and Alexa are all solid workers.

Plus, it's super fun watching Rousey do this to people:

How soon until the Women's division is a ghost town because everyone is out with shoulder injuries?

[Morkle]

Rousey is boring. She can't talk on the microphone and all she does is whip people around. Again, her weak exit from UFC just kills me. Her storyline should be about how she refused to adapt and had her head kicked and punched off repeatedly.

[NailedPenguin]

So the shield got arrested, charged, saw a judge, posted bail and got back to raw all in a 3 hour span and on a federal holiday. I realize I'm an adult complaining about it but is it to much to ask the writers to earn an ounce of their money and attempt realism? I mean I could be a writer if I never had to adhere to any sense of logic whatsoever

[iamjs]

there's a few times that they've done this.

I'm just wondering which judge is available on short notice that late in the evening.

[NailedPenguin]

Even putting that aside and saying it's wrestling, suspended your disbelief...nothing even makes sense week to week within the same story. Kevin Owens quits, "returns" the very next week (except it's not even a return since he never left) and just starts helping the guy who has physically and mentally tortured him all summer in Braun.

[iamjs]

you mean kinda like when CM Punk was leaving the company with the belt and was back within 2-3 weeks?

Yeah but that storyline and the match at MitB was awesome.

[iamjs]

That match at MitB was awesome. That's right around when I started watching regularly again. But man did they handle it wrong.

Looking back at CM Punk's wikipedia page, it was 8 days from the time he had his last match with Cena until they ran the tournament that Mysterio won. So they waited literally a week before going in a different direction.

I think they could have had a better storyline if they would have followed up on Punk's threat of him showing up at different feds like New Japan or ROH to defend the title. He could have even done something along the lines of threatening to lay down so the title would never "return" to the WWE, but I guess they would have sidestepped that with the way the story played out anyways: by creating a tournament for a new champion. Of course, there's no way in hell Vince gives that the green light, especially for how unhappy Punk was at the time.

[nocera]

I finally watched All In and I'm almost afraid to admit this, but I don't see what the big deal is. I haven't seen much of NJPW or ROH or whatever other indy fed was on this show, but if this is really the best they have to offer, I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. Cody's match was fine. Omega had the best match of the night but dear lord those piledrivers made me cringe. I can't stand the **** Young Bucks. (come at me) I appreciate that there are alternatives to WWE out there, but spot fests, high spots, super kicks, and straight up dangerous hardcore **** just isn't for me.

[Spangler]

When I had the network I watched some old ECW shows, and I was really turned off by the stuff that they were doing. I used to love hardcore matches and the stuff they did in ECW, but for some reason, it was too much. A lot of the matches didn't even have good pacing either. Just a lot of chairshots to the head.

[nocera]

Same. The art of wrestling is making it look as real as possible without actually hurting your opponent. Anybody can hit somebody in the head with a chair or run a cheese grater over someone's head or jump off a balcony through a table.

[shafnutz05]

A fun throwback to the Roman Reigns promo that got it all rolling downhill:

[shafnutz05]

I could watch these all day and all night

[Freddy Rumsen]

Found a cache of Saturday night's main event on YouTube and have been geeking out for those lately

[nocera]

Yet another baffling decision from WWE: the Hell in a Cell structure is now red.

[NailedPenguin]

I'm never watching wrestling again.
