The Grits Gonna Hit The Wrestling Thread! - Part 22

[TheFuture]

Great promo by Daniel Bryan on smackdown this week,almost sort of a work shoot telling Cole that he didn't deserve (Cole) to have a match at WM,and how Michael has been burying (he did indeed use the term "burying") him on the mic since day one.

The man needs a new theme though.

The man needs a new theme though.

Indeed

 

[TheFuture]

Indeed

It's not epic enough for me. Imagine him cashing in on MITB and fulfilling his dream.....to the sound of that. It's goofy, and needs to go.

Only if its "The Final Countdown" ! t:

 

[BlackLantern]

don't f*** with the Wagner....

uncultured Philistines

 

[Pink Ranger]

I only hear the "Kill The Wabbit" song.

What's a "Wagner?" t:

London Symphony Orchestra's Cover of Bryan's ROH Theme

 

[Wheels]

Saving Abel's "Tap Out" would be perfect for Bryan.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I love Flight of the Valkyries, but the song seems bigger than Daniel Bryan.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I can see Del Rio cashing in soon and taking the title from Miz (provided he wins),Punk vs Del Rio fued wouldn't be so bad.

I dunno, maybe its me, but I dont really see a punk v. Del Rio feud being as good as a punk v. Miz feud. I dont think a face punk would really have much reason to feud with a heel del Rio.

Flair is off da hook.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Jesus Christ Ric, $500 for a phone call?? I better get a "Whoooo!!!" and a piece of your ex wife for that.

 

[The Sage]

Nell, who you telling?

That's a sign that Ric's really strapped for cash. Either that or he's seriously overvaluing himself. Or both.

Darn it, Ric.

SD was decent this week, the piped in pops are really obvious though. This Orton/Christian feud needs to wrap up as well, Randy finds it harder to stay relevent than Cena I notice.

Daniel Bryan cut a good promo and carried Slater to a decent match. Sheamus vs Barrett was a good oldschool "slobberknocker" that echoed Regal/Finlay from days gone by. Solid match between Christian and Zeke as well but the finish surprised me.

Surprise of the night was that the Kane/Orton match was actually pretty good.

Mark Henry's post match beatdown of Kane was ok but with him having shelved Show and Kane it's almost too obvious that it's setting for a match between Henry and Taker at Summerslam.

 

[Wheels]

Henry and Taker at Summer Slam?

Why must you scare me like this Hunter?

 

[TripleR]

Mark Henry's post match beatdown of Kane was ok but with him having shelved Show and Kane it's almost too obvious that it's setting for a match between Henry and Taker at Summerslam.

Normally I'd be calling the same thing, but I really doubt Taker comes back. It's been said he's pretty much "officially retired" he's so broken down right now. I'd like to be wrong but I don't think we'll be seeing him at all before WM. Henry's probably being built up to go after Orton once this Christian story is over.

Am I the only one that thinks the Kill Switch is the lamest finisher in the WWE. Right up there next to the Cobra.

Nope.

 

[Project862006]

killswitch is a great finisher it has always been a good move

so no i dont follow you at all

 

[Metamorpho1977]

good. That was actually a good match between Daniel Bryan and Heath Slater. Was that the Hell's Gate submission from Bryan? Could that be a foreshadowing?

 

[Benstamania]

I hate that an hour of SmackDown is a Raw recap...

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I thought it was kind of funny when Booker T said Sheamus was a student of the game. Could that have been a knock?

 

[Saint]

I think Sheamus/Barrett could make for a solid feud. I like both these guys--they both have unique looks and personalities--but I think they've been hurting lately and could stand to have a solid feud.

Sheamus got some cheers; I might use such a feud to push him into face territory, but I'm not sure if he can make a face turn work on the mic.

Yeah, the Killswitch is pretty bad. It barely makes sense, it looks awkward, and there's no way for Christian to surprise the crowd with it. It's always "Christian has begun the procedure for the application of the Killswitch; twenty seconds and counting."

The Cobra, though, is still sweet because Santino screams "COBRAAAA!!!" when he does it, haha. Maybe Christian should start shouting "KIIIILLLLSWIIIIITCH!!!"

Heheh.

I'm still waiting for Sgt. Slaughter to come out and take issue with Santino's Cobra.
