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

That whole ESPN thing didn’t go the way Coach planned… It’s a total shitshow there now.

I wonder if they’re going to try to push Rousey as some kind of unstoppable badass despite her looking like a fourteen-year-old girl who found her daddy’s old biking jacket in the closet.

Yes yes they are, prepare for her to squash everyone.


…GET THEM TABLES!!!

Fuck me sideways, I was afraid you’d say that.


…my heart!!!

By the way…let me get this out of the way:

Honestly, Mandy Rose looks like she raided Charlotte’s closet and took her NXT gear.

hahaha You aren’t wrong.

But man I’m happy Mandy is doing well. Working on those arms too! Loving the biceps. Who knew a girl like that would be booked as a semi-powerhouse.
And by how fast she is succeeding, she is putting Eva Marie to fucking SHAAAAAME.

Heath Slater eliminated somebody at the rumble clean.

Best Rumble.

I loved both Rumble matches. The Final 4 for the men’s match was great since it could’ve went any direction, with a 50/50 chance of the crowd being really happy or really pissed! Also, nice surprises with Almas, Cole, Mysterio, and Hurricane!

The women’s match was awesome too. Glad some of the women from the past got to take part. Sprinkle in Ember Moon and Kairi Sane and it was great.


Surprised…but not surprised.

I’m re-watching the rumble.

My fav part of the womens’ rumble was easily the Trish and Mickie moment. I think they were a better feud than Trish/Lita.

Their match at WrestleMania 22 was my favorite, better than the guys matches from a story and reaction point of view.

For every hero, you need an equal villian, and Mickie was a true villain in that feud. It was great that she won the match too.

I believe Mickie won their feud overall as Trish was on her way out the business. Has Trish beaten Mickie at all?

I can’t remember, but if they came back, I can easily see a Dreamer vs Raven type feud between them.

Old age is one hell of a drug.

Still the greatest WM moment.

Did anyone else think the ending of the women’s rumble was a botch? Seemed like Asuka was supposed to win with that frankensteiner looking thing on the ropes. The Bella twin fucks up and lands on the apron, then Asuka wins with a random c.lk. Seemed kind of underwhelming.

Man a lucha stable would be so great. Hopefully accompanied by a full mariachi band enmascarado. Los Aparatos de WWE!

Brock is so boring. At least NJPW had the balls to take the title from Omega and do something fresh with it. Can’t believe they’re doing to a guy as over at Braun is.

Don’t worry… Brock is gonna lose it come WM…

Not sure how I feel about coach coming back. I mean, he’s gotta he better than booker t by now, right?

RIGHT?

BIG DOG FIST MY ASS

Ronda reveal ruined the ending to the women’s rumble.
