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

Jinder’s promo on Smackdown is getting mainstream attention


One of two things will happen. WWE leans harder into Jinder as an actually, if unintentionally, effective heel. Or…they go panic mode and don’t hesitate to have Shin demolish Jinder.

I mean don’t get me wrong, I would love to see Shinsuke just squash Jinder to look like a massive killer and get the strap but now it’ll look more like a quickly made switch based on backlash.


They made Roode a journeyman…

Yo jinder either going to be champ until a black guy beats him

Or he’s going to get muhamed hassan’d out of existence

Or we get nakamura talking about sikhs in derogetory terms

Daniel Bryan has become absorbed purely into lucha. Specifically he wants to work cmll’s anniversario. Next year is 85th anniversary for cmll.

And dbry said he would only put up the beard for an aniversario match. Imagine if dbry retires atlantis. Dan is after dream matches and big money.

Also so how did gfw handle bullet club and curt hawkins?

My god that is bush league.

Now i want Jinder to feud with a suprr racists white guy to do a double turn.

They have to be doing a trump impersonation too.

Speaking of Roode, rumor has it is that he’s being kept off TV to build up to a feud with Ziggler.

I mean, that’s the most obvious direction to go with the Ziggler entrance angle. Feud with the dude that has the most elaborate and over the top entrance.

Speaking of which, wish they had that as a gimmick down on NXT instead, since that would hit much closer to home with the current crowd.

lol shadddyyyyy

Maffew writes about Ken Kennedy’s WWE run…what could have been.

^ I never liked the guy, always thought the Miz was better. The Miz is real, even though he copies others mannerisms.

Kennedy was like a classic wwe machine produced guy. That’s why he got overrated chants in TNA within a month or so after debuting.

Commentary already referenced them wanting the tag titles

Honestly the tag division is seriously the best part of nxt. With shin, asuka, bobby, all moving up it cleared up nxt to change. I really want Lars Sullivan to destroy Drew McYntire for the belt.

The uk title has become the de-facto midcard title. But with oversees defenses. It is the true “world” title defended against outsiders. I really want houston to have a survivor series match with undisputed vs uk, but it looks like we are going with undisputed vs sanity

I like this new direction for nxt. Lars Sullivan going to be a main eventer. Dude just looks like a brute. Braun/Lars is a wrestlemania

Today is Cody’s last day on Earth. Pay your respects before his murder.

I hope not…I was planning to go to a meet and greet for him when he comes to Chicago next month.

Cody going to be at starrcade now

I noticed Wrestlezone is cutting alot of people as well…including Mike Killam and Nick Paglino.

See 411 has always been my go to because i know everybody was there pro bono

Not really missing anything. Wrestlezone literally stole everyone else’s stories.

All wrestling news sites just copy from meltzer anyways. The only time they have any original content is when they quote a podcast or a radio interview or something of those sorts. And even then meltzer likely reported on it first

Just when I think Cody can’t disappoint me further, he puts on a shit match with Suzuki.

Cody honestly hasn’t been impressive since leaving WWE, he isn’t having a Galloway like run.
