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

Miz playing the role of Gerald Briscoe as kisser. I want to bash him.

Seriously dude shitting on every aspect of wcw. Hoping big e gets some shine being a professed goldberg fan

Ryback is so good here.

That whole fucking game genie shit from losing the gold to Taker and finally winning the belt back from Khali made Smackdown so hard to watch when he was on it. It was almost literally like the booking crew was saying fuck you to the fans and we are going to have him in the main event no matter what.

Thing is they could have made it way better.

Good god i want douchetista and heel cena.

Fuck cena needs to get absolutely destroyed at noc and come back as a bitter heel.

Instead of doing Reigns/Lesnar

Reigns/Cena should happen as a passing the torch match

Jim Ross and CM Punk please

They really need to go all the way in changing his character because the Cena era is winding down due to the injuries and the fact that he has peaked as a draw. He needs to really, really change his character some way because they are falling into a trap and that is they are focusing way too much on his merchandise sales without noticing that other areas of the revenue stream is stagnating.

Ratings

PPV (even before the Network)

the rights fees

DVDs

live attendance

Cena’s presence at the top of the card and the stale sameness of his character has only benefited the merch sales and he caused everything else to come to a standstill as a result, and that is bad for business. Hell just go back to the '04-'05 version when he was dropping freestyles and dissing the foes. Just do something instead of the lame never say die smiling good guy crap.

Douchetista was his best character by a wide margin because he knew how to play the asshole to perfection.

We know Cena has so much feul to fire up a heel turn.

But shit the injury to Bryan and Cena working hurt for 5 years straight eventually new guys have to be established. Just sucks that it would take an Edge situation for Cena to retire.

More interviews in magazine and online with cena talk about him going badguy. Apparently he wants to, but Vince is against it.

I just think a Heel Cena. Dirtbag passive aggressive jerk. OCD Smart mouthed guy we see on total divas needs to be on raw.

Heel Nikki and Heel Cena would be great,

I think that Vince is going to have to relent, because the problems that I have referenced have taken root and they are prolonging the inevitable. It’s like a rebuilding franchise in sports. Yes Cena wants to be heel because this all-american hulk hogan crap isn’t him. It wasn’t the character that he created or the one that got him over in the first place.

The last time he got to be him was the feud with rock and burial of miz

He had no choice. The Rock was allowed to be himself and wasn’t held to the PG standard and he was absolutely going to annihilate him on promos if Cena wasn’t allowed to do the freestyles and go for the jugular.

Anyone mad about Cena’s dominance on RAW this past Monday…blame Vince.
Word is that it was Vince making last minute changes to make Cena look like a beast so that the fans don’t lose faith in their top guy.

Bray Wyatt has been watching NJPW matches featuring Shinsuke Nakamura to draw inspiration for his antics…now it makes sense.

Watching the Monday Night Wars documentary, the third episode and I have to remind myself how much I fucking loved Sunny as a youngin. Even when she did that shit with the Body Donna and tried to be all energetic without being hoish the 11 year old me was saying “damn I want this girl to start acting like Kelly Bundy.” Didn’t take long and she was showing her ass, always on the bikini, acting all slutty and giving me the special feelings. Sure she was a crack whore and was sucking everybody’s dick, but goddamn she was fucking outstandingly hot to me.

Kanyetista and vanilla cena were their best characters. Both need to revisit those gimmicks at least once

This shit makes no sense raw seems to be schizo

When steph and hhh are on the show is awesome

When they aren’t a part of raw, it’s a down week.

Smackdown apparently was kickass though.

They did similar storylines with Hulk Hogan being put out by earthquake and HBK being put down by Sid. Culminating in rematches where they figured out how to beat the guy after being gone for 3 months.

This is fast fowarding to the end way too fast.

Hulk Hogan came back and squashed Earthquake for no reason though, I remember that very specifically. Fuck Hogan.

Such a good promo from Ryback. I am still rooting for this guy. Seeing the pop he got back in Vagas had me mad geeked.

As limited as he is in the ring, I just can’t hate on Ryback. Dude is just too damn entertaining.

Ryback got buried worser than Jack Swagger

He was the most over guy on the roster. I went to a house show and the moment his music hit everybody popped from kids to the smarky douchebags next to me.

Hell on tv feed me more was just as over as yes. If they turned bryan heel and had him job relentlessly to cena imagine the anger.

Ryback lost to mark henry and never won a ppv match ever. Seriously Ryback should be a main event guy right now.

If he returns as a face saving people from the authority or brock lesnar the arena would shatter.

Would love Ryback/Lesnar as wm31 main event

Jake Roberts found unconscious in a Las Vegas hospital: http://www.24wrestling.com/report-jake-roberts-unconscious-las-vegas-hospital/

Double pneumonia, lungs filled with fluid, and a mass on his brain…

Ryback got screwed over when Punk got injured. He would have won the title if not for that, but then he got buried.

That’s horrible about Jake :frowning:

Shit i hope Roberts comes out ok.
The guy worked his ass off to get his life back.
