That Wasn't The Wrestling Thread, That Was CGI!

LOL!

Why did Booker T have that ball of yarn on the back of his head?


Imagine if more people got pushed even close to as well as Ryback. We'd have more stars WWE fans actually gave a crap about! Shocking!

Imagine if they gave pushes like Ryback's to guys that have actual talent. We could get some matches of the year and maybe have some dream matches down the line.

2 weeks ago, after Foley was. And I marked like a ***** when he was announced.

If Paul took off his shirt, he'd look like The Great Goblin himself!

Backlund was long overdue, I'm surprised he wasn't put in earlier.

Shawn Michaels kinda puts a hole in that theory. CM Punk could have too. Its not like the mainstream WWF fans cared about Vince's prototypical type of star Lex Luger either.

You cruel monster. Damn you for putting that image into my head.

You know, at this point, a loss to Cesaro won't hurt Ryback at all and would do wonders for Cesaro. You can do that WWE. I know you have it in you.

It's still not enough to make them listen though, is it. And the fact that large majority's still gobble up the crap they put out like Cena's stalemate of a gimmick, Ryback, and not to mention that craptacular WWE title belt, seems to drown those mainstream WWF/WWE fans out.

Dang, that knee off the turnbuckle by Cesaro.

Nex, you know better than that. Though Ryback isn't looking bad here.

One customized action figure coming right up!

These two have been having consistently good matches, Sage. Ryback, while nowhere near as good as they want him to be on his own, can be carried by the right guy. And Cesaro is definitely the right guy here.

[Hunter Rider]

This is actually a decent match, but Roiback needs to stop using kicks, he's horrible at them.

Why is a machine tuned beast like Cesaro running away.

Cool, his Rumble 93 performance is probably my most abiding memory of him.

Punk proably gave them no real option, but to capitalise and use him to a better extent, after he all but bent them over a barrel.

They just keep feeding Ryback!

Cesaro had a good showing but i still can't beleive they chose him to job to Vince's pet.

Leave it to WWE to think we forgot Cesaro tossing around monsters twice Rybacks size.

Definitely. He's been making Orton look interesting their bouts too.

But Ryback needs stronger offense. And he could stand to drop a few pounds to pick up some speed.

[Hunter Rider]

Call me a smark or whatever but I will never understand jobbing your US champion out clean on TV in a match that has no meaning.

Maybe more wrestlers should go and do that. *COUGHDolphZigglerCOUGH*

It seems like one of the only real ways they can get those who run the house to listen and act accordingly.

The majority don't know better because WWE's never really given them a chance to see somethign different in the last 10 years. 15-25 years ago when they did many more were over. Thats more on WWE's practices than what the audience would accept. If the audience was given something different with a good presentation who knows what they might do.

I don't mind the losses to Ryback for Cesaro because he's been putting on consistently good matches the last few months against, well, everyone he's wrestled. And while he has loses to Ryback and Orton, I don't see them hurting him because he's got a lot going for him. If they keep on booking him like they have, I can see him as a headlining act before long.

Yeah. That meathook clothesline in impressive against jobbers but has less of an impact on a guy who is actually bigger than Ryback. It doesn't have that impact on Cesaro because Ryback is getting no speed on it.

If it was against anyone other than one of Vince's pets, then I would agree with you. They could pit Cena against The Shield, Punk and Brock in a handicap or gauntlet styled match and he'd still likely come out on top, or lose with a screwy finish.
