The Wrestling Thread 2017: Thanks for the great year! New Thread Open!

Body doesn’t want to be ready for Battleground.

:lol:

FUCK OFF CIAMPA! YOU AND FALE CAN DIE TOGETHER!

Nakamura is just another guy now, his reactions has been dwindling for awhile and they don’t know what to do with him. Shinsuke wins by DQ then gets destroyed after being manhandled for most of the match and it was a bad match.

Honestly though so far Baron has been a bad winner for MITB, no one cares he barely gets a reaction no matter where he goes.

New Day vs Usos was really good though, great opening match and while I was hoping the Usos would win no complaints. This is one of the few matches that made Xavier look strong.

Natty winning would be nice

Yeah I hope she wins as SummerSlam honestly long overdue for one of the best Women’s Wrestlers ever, yet always criminally underused because she isn’t a barbie doll.

Yeah they are kinda dropping the ball on Naks. It’s also weird that they aren’t showcasing and explaining the strong style to the audience. Nakamura should be just rekting fools straight up till he meets AJ.

Because if you try to explain what strong style is, you will always have to explain why not everyone uses it, and if not everyone uses it…what’s the entire point of being in a combat sport if you’re not using strong style?

Nah they would rather turn him into “The Artist” and fit him into a shit gimmick then showcase the King of Strong Style because Vince doesn’t understand it. I also think Shinsuke should have won MITB and just constantly threatened to turn in which plays more into his character. But he is just another mid card guy now and I am sure Vince is back there going I DON’T GET IT WHO IS THIS GUY.

They get way too wishy washy

Nakamura chose to go to wwe

Styles had to evolve his promos to get to the point he is at

How is it that ko, styles, nakamura, rusev, & cena are hovering around the us title

While the wwe title scene is only orton/mahal

Because Vince likes muscles is the short answer, poor Rusev.

Most people feel Jinder is just there so Cena can break Ric Flair’s made up WWE record.

Cena is going after Mahal or Orton after Battleground…

Cena vs. Mahal for the WWE Championship IMO makes more sense.

Styles vs. Owens

3.5-4 star match incoming!!
Lets go!!

Kinda agree with that. I thought Baron was the best for the case because he needed it the most. Thought Nakamura wouldn’t need it because they won’t be able to fuck him up sigh. Smackdown needs to hide from the eye of SaurVince.

Nakamura just trolling everyweek with the case would have been great. He could have been the case holder who never loses.

It books itself to, you build him up with fake turn ins and have him do things like knee strike people and walk away or something similar. Part of the issue is Shinsuke (and honestly Baron) work better as Tweeners who are neither face or heel.

I feel Nakamura would work better as an attraction. He’s not someone you should use every week.

So far Battleground sounds pretty skippable (I’m at work)

I want to watch the Punjabi Prison match tho.
You have no idea how happy that shit makes me.

So far it is but I would recommend the Usos vs New Day because it was honestly a damn good match.

Kevin Owens, King of Headlock Style

Corbin is tailor made to be a tweener with that lone wolf persona. They should pair him up against heels from time to time. I wonder if they’ll let Shin act more tweenerish down the road. Keeping him as a kid/casual friendly, watered down ‘Artist’ is just wasting him.
