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

Well I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that I didn’t know. Haven’t watched Raw in weeks.

Not like you missed much since two feuds got invalidated due to injury.

An office chair…a fucking office chair

It is said that is what soured vince on bálor, the shoulder, then getting concussed

Hell that concussion lead into a jinder wwe title run, while balor is in a shitty feud with wyatt.

The fact is balor lost his tv feud to the drifter

Nobody needs to go back to smackdown more than bray

Why are you pretending that being on SDL will help Bray? Other than that literal one burst of competence, that by the way he always gets during that time of year, it was the same old song and dance for him.

Low key wanted a Lesnar/Miz champion vs. champion feud!!

lol that on the nose commentary “he’s guaranteed to lose at summer slam”

A majority of these people get hurt because of house shows but they refuse to cut back on house shows even though they aren’t really needed, at least not nearly as often as WWE does them.

What the fuck are you on? Most of the talent’s income come from performing in house shows.

Nah talent gets a flat rate regardless and make more money off ppv payoffs than house shows. Vince makes more money as they are cheap to do but not talent.

You think guys like R-Truth, Zack Ryder, Slater and Rhyno are making their money on PPVs? Hell fucking no. The flat rate gets burned up quick with travel expenses and hotel. Even guys on top of the card like Ambrose largely make their cash on house shows purely on how often they perform on them. Ambrose made $2.7 Million last year and most of that money came from house shows. He wrestled in 109 of them, more than anyone else that year.

Forbes broke down the salaries of the WWE’s top guys and how they each earned their annual income

We’ll get there someday hopefully. The Miz resurgence is still on going. Man that WM win would have send him straight into the main event scene. Did Cena really need it :confused:

Dawson tearing his bicep is more of a wear and tear thing than wilder’s jaw break being a freak accident thing

Likw bayley’s busted shoulder is a random accident on a typical bump

I mean triple h tore his quad by tripping

The thing about wrestling injuries can happen in an instant

Don’t try this at home

Unlike all of our top guys who we have video of working yard tard matches

I’m gonna have to watch that Gotch interview :lol:

So someone who was at RAW last night clarified that the crowd booing during Bayley’s segment initially was about her being injured,but Bayley apparently took it the wrong way and thought they were booing her…so the crowd started booing her.

I like where this is going…

I still like Dana. I’m a psycho.

Read this in Cornettes voice, talking about Mini-Vader and Shotgun Saturday Night with the flying nuns. I couldn’t stop laughing.

Pretty sure Simon gotch sent me a message through sarahah

Aleistar Black vs. Hideo Itami at brooklyn III.

Stiff as fuck. I can’t wait.

Oh well, Shots Fired.
