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

Daboog, I’m not trying to mean here or anything, but sometimes I think you live in an alternate universe.

Keep doing your thing though.

No seriously did you guys watch battle ground? Out of two bleh divas matches, cameron/naomi was the better one.

Anyways, i just watched Hardyz vs Briscoe Bros.

Good stuff

They could give Nikki a Oscar winning script and it would still be terrible. She doesn’t have the mic skills to be anywhere near the level of AJ. She also doesn’t have a charismatic in-ring personality so on both fronts she isn’t that good. The fact that people think she’s improved has more to do with the bar being set so low that any marginal improvement looks amazing. I also have to wonder what"good matches"the divas are having that some people are referencing. The divas don’t have good matches and not by lack of talent but rather because the division is terribly booked. The fact that people are praising Nikki perfectly illustrates how terrible the division currently is.

Watched a Nitro from 1996. Those mullets took forever to go away.

Mullets need to come back in wrestling.

I just got some new zubaz.

Anybody look at old pwi’s and wanted to dress like wrestlers?

Lex luger with a striped leotard and a boatneck swearshirt, with the fanny, and jordans.

I wear a Gold’s Gym tank and zubaz when lifting. Just feels right

I guess that’s why Rabbit did a regular splash instead of a 450, it would have been too obvious

Man hella sad Nitro on the Network picks up around the time Ordondorf was retiring :frowning:

But how does Staraptor evolve into a rabbit?

#PokémonLogic

I think Justin Gabriel is one of those hidden gem talents they have. Pairing him with Adam Rose is genius with the south african connection

Rose and Gabriel most african dudes on the roster

SD! Spoilers…

[details=Spoiler]The Miz came out to start the show and tripped over the first ring step like a dork. Miz called out Dean Ambrose over what happened on Miz TV on WWE Main Event. Ambrose cames out to accept the challenge wearing his karate action jeans. Ambrose was really over with this crowd and Miz had a ton of heat.

  1. Dean Ambrose defeated The Miz. There were some good spots throughout including Damien Mizdow teasing involvement multiple times. At one point, Damien starting shadowing Miz’s holds at ringside, which was great. There was a really good tornado DDT spot by Ambrose late in the match. Ambrose won via the Dirty Deeds headlock driver in a pretty decent opening match, but not before Seth Rollins and Kane came out to distract him a bit. After the match, Kane and Rollins attacked Ambrose. Ambrose stole the Money in the Bank briefcase. His escape into the crowd brought him right by me and my buddy. I am the nerd in the Groot t-shirt…

  2. Cesaro won a Battle Royal to become No. 1 contender to the Intercontinental Title. Big E, Kofi, and Xavier Woods were all wearing similar color schemes on their tights and acting like a team. Los Matadores, Justin Gabriel, Mizdow, Heath Slater Gator, Bo Dallas, Zack Ryder, Cesaro, and Jack Swagger were the other entrants. There was a really nasty elimination of Big E by Cesaro. He gorilla pressed him over the top rope. There was also a good square off spot where Kofi, Swagger, Ceasro, and Bo all ganged up on Mizdow. The final three were Kofi, Swagger, and Swagger with Cesaro winning by gorilla press tossing Kofi into Swagger and knocking them both over the top rope in a really impressive spot…

There was a backstage segment with Renee Young interviewing The Usos about their tag title match with Goldust and Stardust. The Usos said they have a checklist with only one item missing and that is the tag team titles, but that check is coming soon…

  1. The Uso Brothers defeated Goldust and Stardust by DQ. The Usos were out first to a decent reaction, but I was live for Night of Champions and Raw where they were more over. The double dive got everyone fired up and always looks good. Good heel tactics by HeelDust early on, but nothing out of the ordinary for them. Great comeback rally for the Usos after a long stretch of offense by HeelDust. Goldust went for his front flip from the apron and was caught by the Usos for a nice spot. A little bit later the Usos hit a really nasty Doomsday Device on Stardust followed by the splash but the pin was broken up by Goldust with a title shot to the covering Uso for some great heat to end the match…

In a backstage segment, Seth Rollins complained to Kane about Ambrose taking the MITB briefcase. Rollins said that if Ambrose doesn’t return the briefcase in its exact condition then the cinderblock spot will look like child’s play…

  1. Layla and Summer Rae beat Natalya and Rosa Mendes. There was a funny spot with Summer begging Nattie to stop hitting her. Rosa might be the worst women’s wrestler of all time and it showed here for sure. Layla won with a rollup of Rosa and a handful of tights, but the ref botched the three count and he had to do the count again…

There was a backstage interview with Big Show where he rambled about what Rusev and Henry have said to each other. He finished with “I’m the Big Show and I’m gonna knock your ass out”…

A Roman Reigns injury update teased for the next segment…

  1. Dolph Ziggler beat Cesaro to retain the Intercontinental Title. We didn’t get the advertised injury update, but we got Cesaro entering for the IC title match he won earlier in the taping. Ziggler got a great pop. Cesaro used the ropes during an abdominal stretch spot which garnered almost zero heat. This crowd is either dead or terrible. Cesaro did his spot where he uses the middle rope as a trapeze into an elbow drop which was cool. Cesaro countered a Fameasser attempt into a powerbomb attempt only to have Ziggler sunset flip him for the win which was really weak. I like Ziggler a lot, but that was weaksauce…

Backstage, Lana and Rusev were interviewed. Lana said anything in Rusev’s way he crushes…

  1. Big Show defeated Rusev by DQ. Rusev and Lana out next for the main event followed by Big Show with the pop of the night. He is always really over in Little Rock. Big Show controlled the action early and really manhandled Rusev for a huge chunk of the match. I think I was the only Rusev fan in the building. Rusev finally hit a chop block and went on the offensive with lots of leg based attacks. Big Show hit a sidewalk slam to balance things out and set up for the KO punch. Rusev ducked and hit the jump kick.

Big Show hit a chokeslam out of nowhere and set up for the KO punch again but Lana grabbed his leg and was dragged into the ring. Rusev grabbed the Russian flag and hit Big Show for the DQ finish. Big Show caught a kick after the match and finally did connect with the KO punch to end the taping with Rusev flat out…[/details]

Cesaro would be a great IC champ. But that’s more of a lateral move than an upgrade

Why give Cesaro the pretty big WM30 win if he’s going to tread water like this?

Dunn and Vince control RAW and SD! And SD despite Stephanie being head of creative. What Vince says goes. He doesn’t see Cesaro as a big deal while hhh thinks he’s the future of the business.

Hhh wants international stars because he knows a lot of them are untapped markets. Cesaro is a gold mine. He is fluent in 4 languages. Sami is fluent in 3. Steen is bilingual. The other talents like KENTA and Devitt are international superstars so they have draw power in multiple markets.

I hope HHH takes over. He seems to know what to do with talent right.

Cesaro actually speaks spanish to go along with the 5 languages

Seriously to appeal to different markets, going on radio, and just doing everything for wwe in germany and switzerland the guy should be their european Cena instead of sheamus.

Cesaro’s pairing with heyman made no sense. I did like how he was trying to join the authority. Why was that dropped exactly?

soo its lookin like i wont be able to go to this wrestling school near my work. these fuckers wont reply to emails.

i basically told them i couldnt go to the try out, which i imagine is more or less just a way to tell if you are an unathletic piece of shit. but the time coincides with work. i honestly would barely be in time for the actual class but i could make it. I told them this, and the guy said he would talk to the instructors and get back to me. Its been a way of no contact, and ive messaged him 2x within the week to check.

from what i can tell he hasnt even looked at the two messages i sent him. smh.

LOL DC sounding like The Rock in this video towards the end by imitating how Jones talks and such…

There is always Kaiju Big Battel. XD

funny you mention them…i used to be friends with a film maker who did stunt videos. worked on a project with him, well he calls me up needing help moving stuff and to use my car. drive down its him and the owner of kaiju big battel. i also had a tricker friend who worked for them. they honestly made everything up, they have 0 training lolol.

Where you at Maxx?

I been thinking of doing wrestling school too

But doing ref stuff, which is exactly the same type of training at half the price

Too bad it took being close to thirty to actually afford it.
