The Wrestling Thread 2015 - IN THE BOOKS! PLEASE LOCK THREAD MODS!

That bunny simultaneously represents everything that’s right AND wrong with the WWE product

Alex Riley commentary during KENTA’s match pissed me off beyond belief. Who the fuck is he to put him down? He hasn’t done anything of note in his WWE career.

I like the woman that has been appearing on Enzo and Cass’s segments. She complements both of them well.

I think you guys are falling for the troll, or in this case, the work.

Alex Riley is a heel commentator. The point is that he says stuff that makes you mad. That’s good!

For example, in this case, you will support Kenta more, because of what the big meanie Alex Riley was saying about him.

Honestly, it shows that Riley is doing a really good job.

Why aren’t they cheering more for my paige? What is wrong with that crowd?

He has a great look and his finisher is believable given his size

Wait…Jessicka Havok was a rosebud?
When was this…I honestly can’t picture her as a Rosebud.

Paige vs. Havok on NXT is a dream match for me…since both see Bull Nanako as their inspiration.

While I’m happy she’s on TV…it’s TNA though.
I know they are going to push her to get the title away from Fail Kim…and I’m okay with that.

Why is it that Taryn looks likes she’s laughing while getting her ass kicked?
Is it like her gimmick?

Thea Trinidad was a rosebud again this week…just sign her already.

From what I’ve read about crossfit…it’s actually a really bad philosophy with high injury potential. You don’t spam volume Olympic lifts. I have some routines I do for volume, but any serious lift you do very few reps and you have to be very tight with technique or it’s serious injury potential. If you’re doing those lifts right they take too much out of you to do a lot of.

In general I encourage people to work out, but “less is more” is generally correct provided it’s within reason. Lifting weights isn’t about lengthy convoluted routines and lifts. Especially for beginners, it’s way more about just getting in the gym and establishing a routine, going lighter on weight and focusing on technique and incremental gains. It’s more important to get in the gym say 3 days a week, week after week, than anything in terms of weight used or even the lifts you’re using.

The guy has an odd look, he’s legitimately a huge guy he’s less than an inch shorter than Kevin Nash but he doesn’t look it.

He’s also very very strong with legitimate credentials (former cardinal, former golden gloves, long time bjj practitioner) so he’s got a lot of shit to draw from once he actually has a move set.

A guy that big can pretty much make any submission look amazing, Hell even the cross face chickenwing.

Are people actually getting trolled by Alex Riley doing the 2011 Michael Troll/Daniel Bryan schtick?

Welp Roman Reigns is having emergency surgery folks and is out of Night of Champions. Incarcerated Hernia. Hmmm, Ambrose better jump in immediately and have an impromptu Last Man Standing match.

he has long enough limbs to do any submission. If anybody was going to use a triangle he is the guy.

Imo though hee needs more upper body mass before moving up. Just from a tv perspective he looks like current day taker body wise. If he looked like current day nash he’d be your rumble winner

Holy shit? Roman is out? That leaves only cena as the top face because of ambrose doing the movie and now this.

Just as Reigns was hitting his stride.

Guess this means sheamus or ziggler get their yearly push

Though I hate the superman booking WWE overdid with Reigns, hate to see a guy get injured - especially during a megapush. Hopefully he’s back soon and they don’t rush DBD back due to this.

On a different note, watching Charlotte in NXT, I can’t help but think her pairing with Orton would be awesome. I’m all for women not needing to be attached to a man to get over, etc but their personas just match too well. Both 2nd/3rd gen superstars who have the athleticism, skill and build prototypically ideal for wrestling. It just works.

Reigns is going to be out for a grip. This isn’t like a regular hernia, this more complicated. If part of his stomach or intestine is involved then we might be seeing a new Rumble winner.

Happy he caught it because he not had caught it sooner there is a real chance he could have died.

Cena being the lone face means somebody turns or we get jericho/lesnar

I predict Ambrose gets Reigns spot once he comes back.

Yeah, it’d be easy to insert Ambrose in Reigns spot. He’s the most over of the two anyways, plus the fued with Rollins is far from finished

And Brock can still face Orton or Big Show again, to buy time til Mania. Hopefully Reigns is ok by then,

Also, Stone Cold is open to a WM31 match, so there’s that too as the main event

Ambrose would be dope but he is doing a movie

Bob Sapp on talking shop so good

Apparently the match actually got canceled. However, that being said…I thought Ambrose’s movie was done filming?

Well at least people got to see the match last week soooo :imaginarycoffee:

I was referring to the fucking main show, not NXT.

Never mind, I’m an idiot. Models Wrestlers like Eva Marie for example is gold.
