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

[TheNextNolan22]

..... Is.. Is that a Raptor?

....Yes...Yes it is.

 

[Randy Savage]

I think you're giving WWE too much credit but I like your theory.

So what's your story? When did you start watching wrestling? Who are your favorite wrestlers past and present?

Started watching at WrestleMania 2 in kindergarten. I saw Hogan bleeding in the cage and it freaked me out and I couldn't stop watching ever since.



Favorites of the past - Randy Savage of course, also Hulk, Flair, Patterson, Slaughter, Arn Anderson

Favorites of the 90's '00's - Dean Malenko, Jericho, DDP, Eddie, Kurt

Favorites today - All the guys who've come up through FCW / NXT in recent years. So that's The Shield, Sandow, Langston, et al. I like mostly everyone. I didn't always like Cena, but I'm a big fan of his nowadays. Orton is always quality. Alberto Del Rio has his ups and downs, but overall I'm a big fan.

Kofi's kind of the unsung hero for me right now. I've always felt he is insanely marketable for the kids, and he has such a bright personality / unique moves. I'd love to see him win the big straps one day.



I know a good bit about puro. I enjoy the hell out of WWE. For a few years I gave TNA a shot, but they're a steaming pile of **** that I actively avoid. Um... I don't do spoilers. I watch what's on TV and judge it based on the product, not some dingbat's opinion of the show. Dirtsheets are BS drivel and they've created something of a hivemind among internet wrestling fans, some of whom are posting here as evidenced by a few replies to my posts.

Rarrr Cena bad Triple H Bad!! Punk GOOD!!

I don't have time for that same old nonsense that people have been spewing for years.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Because he's ready to come to the Big Leagues with the A+ players?

SHH vs Wrestlezone...sounds like we might have to finish this at Wrestlemania

That WWE apologist smell is strong in here!!!!

Pfft, that's like The Shield vs 3MB.

LOL he'll probably job.

If he does he'll have lost 4 of the 5, which seems to guarentee he'll win the Chamber match.

Still a better match than Batista/Orton for the title.

So a question for you fans...If you can combine elements of different eras to make your ideal Wrestling product(Roster not included), what would they be?

One approach I'd take would be:

The Layered approach to Storylines of the Attitude Era in the year 2000

The Match quality on Smackdown during the Ruthless Agression Era

The Emphasis on the IC/Tag Team Divisions from the Rock N Wrestling Era

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Tetsuya Naito vs Tomohiro Ishii for the NEVER Openweight Championship from NJPW The New Beginning in Osaka is the first, true MOTY for 2014. Holy **** , I loved everything about that match. From the psychology/storytelling to Ishii selling his shoulder to Naito selling his leg tremendously, and to the overall brutality of the match.

Perfection. Maybe throw in the less sterile and more down and dirty feel of JCP, ECW, and the Attitude Era. Everything feels too glossy and over produced.

I would also add a bit of the big match presentation that NJPW has.

It really is. Tha guy needs to use his knowledge and power for the betterment of the business and not just himself and his boys.

I heard the HHH dvd is longer than the history of the wwe dvd.

 

[WildChild]

After Mania I gotta start watching New Japan. I'm about done with WWE.
Some more NJPW gifs would be welcome.

 

[Metallo]

I don't know why they keep going back and forth on Bryan, but me thinks a certain COO doesn't want to do the job.

Probably. Thing is he's got to. He's got to law down for Bryan otherwise it's HHH vs Booker all over again only not about racial superiority. Bryan's gotta prove the heel wrong. The biggest thing in DB's way has been "the family"

Reading the last 2 pages why do I get the feeling that me and Sweetre have accidently brought Kidpolean back with us from the Wrestlezone.

Either that or Josh Isenberg. The biggest WWE programmed robot on the site. I swear sometimes I think Vince cuts him a check. He represents everything WWE wants their fans to be.

I don't think they're smoking hot at all. They kind of remind me of Yul Brynner from the King and I at times. I'd actually go as far to say they may be the most over rated divas, looks wise, I've ever seen in the WWE.

Their ok looking to me but even now they're highly overrated by the E. Their mic work is annoying...even as faces. They don't deserve the spots the have. Cenas twin that got the bolt ons looks even worse now. She didn't need em.

 

[Team Andino]

I heard the HHH dvd is longer than the history of the wwe dvd.

Reminds me of how Jarrett's TNA dvd, and how it was 4 discs long

 

[Dr. Evil]

I heard the HHH dvd is longer than the history of the wwe dvd.

It probably contains 100 hours of special footage of him ordering, buying and even creating his own shovels.

 

[sweetre15]

I'm surprised WWE hasnt made a King Arthur parody focusing on The Golden Shovel instead of the Excalibur with HHH in the lead role. HHH already considers himself a "King" so why not? lol

 

[venom892]

What would you guy's say is each wrestler's best Mania match? I think I'd break it down like this

John Cena-WM23 WWE Title Match vs. Shawn Michaels
CM Punk-WM29 Streak match vs. Undertaker
Randy Orton-WM27 vs. CM Punk
Ric Flair- WM8 WWE title match vs. Randy Savage
The Rock- WM17 WWE title Match vs. Steve Austin
Steve Austin- WM13 I Quit match vs. Bret Hart
Bret Hart-WM12 WWE title Iron Man match vs. Shawn Michaels
Triple H- WM20 Triple Threat World Title Match vs. Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels
Hulk Hogan- WM5 WWE title match vs. Randy Savage
Ultimate Warrior- Retirement match vs. Randy Savage
Batista- WM23 Title vs. Streak vs. Undertaker
Undertaker-WM25 vs. Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels- WWE Title Iron Man match vs. Bret Hart

That's what I remember for now.

 

[sweetre15]

Oh and guys I've been distracted during Weekends but I HAVENOT forgot about the Tag Team Fantasy Tournament I'm suppose to host here on this forum Saturday.

I know y'all enjoyed the WWF championship tournament so I'm trying to make sure I can have all of the Tag Team favorites be in this tournament for your voting pleasure. So please be patient with me. That tournament will DEFINITELY happen soon.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Jobbing.

Then he's already qualified to be TNA champion.

Exactly. The face must be proven right, and that's why the text conspiracy storyline failed in 2011. Punk came out looking whiny while Triple H was the wise elder teaching the kid a lesson. Triple H should have gone heel and put Punk over.
