The Same Old Wrestling Thread? It's Never Done That Before!

I refuse to believe that's a superman punch.

That's not even a Riddler Punch.

Minoru Suzuki Mocking Shinsuke Nakamura During His KinPuro Card Opening. Minoru Suzuki talking about trading cards. I can't even....

I refuse to believe that's a superman punch.

Maybe during his Electric Blue days.

Maybe during his Electric Blue days.

I think he wishes those days never existed.

Riddler gets no love.

Riddler gets no love.

And someone like Aquaman does?

Randy Savage post you can read at the top of the page. He was a huge jerk and his remarks were uncalled for.

If he had done his homework, he would have known that most of us here are WWE realists. In other words, when the WWE does something really good (like the launch of the WWE Network) then they will be praised. The WWE gets praised when they deserve it. He should have known that. When the WWE Network was officially announced, I recall all of us here saying it was a good thing. He didn't realize that the WWE Universe wanted Daniel Bryan in the Rumble and when that didn't happen, the crowd let the WWE know it. That to me means that the WWE doesn't give a damn what the fans think. Hopefully that changes, but I'm not optimistic.

The WWE has been bashed lately, because we are not WWE Haters. We are WWE realists. The people who run the company can be dense at times. He didn't know that.

For whatever reason, I watched this past week's episode of Impact. Not a bad show. I hated a lot of the booking, but I liked the Ladder Match and that Anderson/Bully Casket Match was about as good of a match you can get out of those two.

 

[sweetre15]

I cant wait till Impact starts to flesh out their dying divisions more to see if they'll ATLEAST dial back on the talking and give us more wrestling. There was a time when their Knockouts Division, X Division and Tag Team Division were on fire.....I'd love for things like that to get revived.

I'm strongly debating not going to Raw on Monday, I'm really just discouraged with the whole thing right now.

It was gonna be my first Raw live I was really stoked to go at first, then all the Punk stuff happened…

Can someone please give me a little encouragement at this point?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Try to hijack the show brah. That's what I'm gonna do at WrestleMania if Bryan isn't in the main event.

Watched the 1996 J-Crown tournament. Really cool to see multiple titles from multiple promotions unified to determine the best, and in the process made the individual titles look important as well (eventhough the WWF Light Heavyweight title at the time was arguably a prop they loaned to the UWA and forgot about till 97).

Shame something like that will probably never happen again, especially with the world heavyweight championships. Imagine the WWE, TNA, ROH, NWA, IWGP, AJPW, AAA, and CMLL titles were unified in one tournament.

Yeah! I don't know how the Denver crowd will be...

I don't wanna get a bad thread rep like the Omaha crowd did. Lol

 

[cabel]

Then a sign that says. "The Wrestling Thread Hijacked my sign!"

 

[TheNextNolan22]

The Wrestling Thread Confiscated My CM Punk Sign!

Ishii, Naito, and, Shibata have the best chances of winning it IMO. Especially Shibata. Dude, if it's Okada/Shibata at Invasion Attack>>>>>

 

[Donnie Darko]

I did my King of the Ring ppv on 2K14 the other night. It was getting late, so I just simulated the tournament.

All hail King Ryback.

It was upsetting.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

How do these matches make a set of the best WCW PPV matches ever?

That's one of the reasons why the Shield has been a blessing in the last year. They broke up the monotony and brought something fresh to the company. Their guerilla tactics in the beginning before evolving and showing more and more their in-ring skills. As a unit, they're great. As individuals, their in-ring style is varied. The Shield is almost a miniature model for the company needs to be.

Great observation, three different personalities with three different ring styles, it's very much something that hopefully WWE have seen has worked out very strongly.

It's the truth. A lot of times, the matches that would offer that variety gets shoved on Main Event or Superstars. And Smackdown at times.

With 3 hours to fill, RAW needs that variety more than any show in the business right now.

Exactly, and why only one tag team match per PPV? They could place two within in an 8 match show and that alone would give diversity to the cards flow.

Raw's structure is seemingly to have a strong first hour, then an hour of comedic and filler crap, then a big segment and good match to close out the final hour. That middle segment could be where a really focused Divas and Cruiser-weight division could shine.
