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

I kind of hope Rocky brings in scorpio sky or even Thatcher. SoCal guys need more love.

I kind of miss pwg as a socal indy

Or it’s the fact that Makabe is a NJPW Dad and is thus not gonna get put in many if any stories at this point in his career, Goto just got off a good NEVER Title run so he doesn’t need much right now, SANADA is if nothing the longest reigning NEVER 6 Man champs with BUSHI and EVIL, and TACOS IS LIFE, HE NEEDS NOTHING ELSE!

I am saying that Baretta getting this kind of slow burn is good for him. Just imagine if all undercard guys got a bit.

I don’t get ospreay getting another shot at kushida.

I think everybody wants the jr and heavy tag divisions to merge. Young Bucks getting ragdolled would be fantastic

I really want enzo to get hurt on sunday

Possibly on a plancha

Over on nxt does not equal over in wwe. Fuck you enzo.

I love Corey burying him

Look it’s okay to not like a guy but you shouldn’t wish injury on anyone, that’s fucked.

I honestly think injured enzo in a wheel chair hiding behind big cass

That was perfect

Singles match enzo is pure shi

A lot of white people are mad at jinder’s promo. Mostly because of how racist it is. When vegas and south dakota cheered it on and oakland goes ā€œthat’s too farā€ kind of shows the difference in your audience

I think jinder using the audience’d prejudice against them is great.

The one who beats jinder will probably be a white guy. Unless they run some weird storyline about sami being ambivalent to the hate while jinder mocks him for not being a real asian

Oh Reilly…

Uh guys…what the hell?

LMFAOOOOOO fangirls and wwe out here ruining velveteen

apparently the stare went alot longer and was edited…as well as a kiss/licking lmfao.

Lol TNA about to be bought out incoming?

They are just waiting for the ship to finally collapse…

Didn’t Flair talk about clean living

While it could happen, the same survey also has questions related to ROH, Progress, and even NJPW footage. So the inclusion of TNA might not mean anything other than asking if people want to watch footage from other promotions (and if it does happen, I’m betting we’ll get Progress first since the owners have been seen hanging out with Haitch).

That said, personally put my votes in for more tournaments. They really need to take a page out of New Japan’s playbook where the G1 serves as a way to test the waters and see which match ups/programs can gain traction, while also serving as a place to refresh the storylines moving forward.

I was more intrigued/cringed by WWE’s ā€œversion of Game of Thronesā€.

Like seriously?

ReDRagon vs Mustache Mountain on NXT this week as as good expected. Honestly, if they wanted, they could make Tyler and Trent a regular tag team on the show and they’d be near the top of the card. NXT tag division is stacked as fuck.

Well damn…

The Observer is also reporting that Piper Niven and Toni Storm got WWE deals similar to the other UK guys…

I really want wwe to get noah and ajpw footage. I need crystal clear hd version of jun akiyama/hase and kobashi/sasaki

I would be more up for a joint WWExNJPW show

Velveteen Dream trying to seduce aleister black

@Zulu doing work

I’m not sure people picked up on that reference.

These last 2 NJPW shows have been rough to get through, I was so into the ā€œRoad to Destructionā€ cards but the actual Destruction cards have been weak as fuck. Tanahashi really needs time off.

The WWE Tournaments lately have been far and beyond the most compelling products they’ve been putting out in the past two years. I have no idea how many more themes they could could up with (Lucha Tournament sounds really weird, wonder what the criteria would be) but so far they haven’t let me down. I’m on ep 2 of the MYC and holy shit Baszler is a badass. Her being in that tournament, and winning that first match the way she did, lends instant credibility to the legitimacy of that tournament especially with other vets like Mercedes and Mia involved.
