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

When you get older, you become more rigid and less adaptive to change… Vince is nearly 70 years old and he still thinks he knows what’s best for the business despite the sweeping changes the business has seen even in just the last three or four years.
He has a great heir apparent in Triple H, but is hesitant to give him the reigns(lol pun) because they aren’t “Vince McMahon” style ideas…

He’s literally become too old for this shit.

I think it’s safe to say that the biggest sign of how much the business and WWE has changed in the past 10 years is that instead of us begging for Triple H to have absolutely no backstage say, we’re now all praying for some news article next week that says Trips and Steph have full control of the company.

The bad thing about HHH having backstage say 10 years ago was that he was an active member of the roster. Someone with his ego will use his creative influence to put himself over whenever he had the chance. Now that he’s semi retired from the ring and in a position to inherit the company he doesn’t have to stroke his ego anymore. He needs to do things that is good for the company as a whole and not for himself.

Vince is still the man.

Legendary comparison, sir.

The Blackhawks were a void in my mind until his godly son took over.

HHH having sway lead more to Cena, Jeff Hardy, Sheamus, and Batista to get pushed.

That being said, with the Jeff Hardy stuff, it felt like Jeff lost freaking forever until he finally got that win.

Jeff Jarrett, just sayin’ I’m glad I waited not to buy it.

That’s how wins are supposed to feel

It was Jeff being Jeff and being a druggie that lead to his ousting

Why is Jeff Jarrett in bullet club anyways? He ruins their whole biker gang gimmick by being a dandy southerner.

May as well start dressing him up like col rob parker

Watching the Hart edition of the Monday Night War and I gotta ask the big question: is it universally accepted that Michaels’ leg injury going into Mania was bullshit?

edit: Another thing; they should also talk about Sting in the Monday Night War. People try to make it seem as if it was the NWO as the only reason why the angle worked. That was bullshit. The reason why it worked so well was because of the waiting game between the Sting and Hogan clash that took place until Starrcade 97.

Plus Starrcade 97 was also the moment when the fans truly started to revolt against the company.

I feel so. As Bret said, Shawn was dancing, jumping around and doing a bunch of other stuff a someone with a leg injury shouldn’t be doing. He pull anything out his ass to not drop the title to Bret.

Sting episode will be soon

DDP episode as long as it isn’t ddpyoga infomercial will be great

I never got why people hated on tna or roh for bringing in wwe guys. Why can’t wwe guys work in tna or roh?

I just hate how tna books talent in general

Can’t talk for RoH but people hate it for TNA as they have the habit of bringing in an ex-WWE guy, put him in a major angle and push them over their own home grown talent.

“Sorry it didn’t work out up north, come to TNA and we’ll give you the title and a lead role in a probably-shittier-than-WWE movie!”

From people who are good friends of mine, they just don’t get it. They will love the product when they go to a live show, then later they’ll forget how great it is. They’ll say that they didn’t do it on a big stage, or that their style doesn’t work in WWE etc. Shit that just isn’t true but they read dirtsheets or are too lazy to actually watch a different product so they look down upon it. They don’t get that some guys just don’t get a fair shake.

So I’m having a “bad wrestling Sunday” this Sunday leading into the ppv.

Ne the worst ppv in your opinion. Not talking by buy rates or whatever. Just shit ppv in general. Doesn’t matter what company.
