The Wrestling Thread Damn Sure Doesn't Work For You!

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I just realized my Mania 30 seats are similar to 26, 28, and 29. I'm gonna be pretty close to the action!

Hey, thanks for rubbing it in there Nolan!

 

[The Sage]

Match kinda dragged at the end, and the last Angle Slam reversal looked botched. But that was good. Now I want to see them in a regular match.

Anyone checking out the Wrestle 1 event where Styles goes against Seiya Sanada on the 16th? I hear the card is stacked with good talent.

They need to get AJ over to NJPW so he can have a champ vs champ match with Kazuchika Okada.

 

[cabel]

Who's big in Japan and Mexico right now? I need some variety.

Don't even get me started on how amazing that sounds. Then again, I'm the biggest Okada mark on here so of course that interests me. The IWGP Heavyweight Champion vs the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. I like it.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

If not with Okada, maybe put him up against Tanahashi or Nakamura. Hell, put him up against Prince Devitt because I think that would make for a great technical/high flying match.

Also guys considering how HHH has allowed Japanese talent to look good against him back when he was in his good workrate years.(Tajiri in 2004 and Taka in 2000)

How good do you think matches between Prime HHH(2000 or 2004) and Okada or KENTA would have been?

With KENTA? Stiff as all hell and Nascar-paced. With Okada, it'd be real storytelling driven. I would imagine an awesome finishing sequence with HHH trying to hit the Pedigree and Okada reversing trying to hit the Rainmaker and vice-versa.

HHH would have made you think both of them could pin them on TV with how good he's willing to let Japanese Wrestlers look against him. I remember the crowd was super behind Taka on Smackdown in their match and they wanted him to take the belt that night.

But yeah Prime HHH vs Okada would make Dave Meltzer's brain explode lol.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Dave isn't as high on Okada as he is Tanahashi so a match between HHH and Tanahashi would surely make Meltzer go nuts LOL.

He'd probably give that match 7 stars if it happened

But I'd probably be raving over that match too if it was with HHH at his best.

Question:

- Do any of you guys want to see The Rock as Luke Cage? Or do you want someone who's 100% black?

I don't think The Rock is right for Luke Cage because I don't think he would make a good fit for the character.

There are superhero roles The Rock is better suited for and there are better candidates for the role of Luke Cage in my opinion.

Actually, the thing on the right looks like Burn Gorman.

Really does look like Burn Gorman t:

What the hell?

I'd watch it. t:

No Love for Renee Young?:

She's awesome, there's just not a lot of pics of her out there at the moment, so nice finds.

How many times did Taz and Angle wrestle each other in the past? It was only a few times to my knowledge.

I can only think of 2, the match at the Rumble and a triple threat with Taz, Angle and The Rock on SD. There may have been one more during the invasion storyline.

The latest news on Mickie James will further fuel rumors of a WWE return.

 

[Donnie Darko]

And what is that news?

 

[Dr. Evil]

And what is that news?

She's spending this week training the NXT Divas at the WWE Performance Center and attended last night's NXT Live event.

And Mickie tweeted this:

"The show was great! Proud of my girls this week. See you at 8:30am sharp miss ma'am!"

NXT Diva Bayley also posted this photo:

And Mickie tweeted this:

The fact that the WWE has this big performance centre means they're going to need people to staff it. I hope this creates a lot of job opportunities for former wrestlers who are beyond or close to the end of their in-ring careers.

Maybe Trish or DDP can run a yoga program out of there too.

A Mickie return to the WWE though could be good for the WWE Divas. The fact that the WWE asked her to help Sara Del Rey train the NXT Divas means that she no longer has any hard feelings towards the WWE.

I don't watch Puro. Is this Sanada guy any good?

 

[Warhammer]

I just watched that Triple H vs. Taka Michinoku match. It was so good.

 

[cabel]

If they ever decide to do an underrated matches set, the Taka match should be on it.

 

[sweetre15]

My friends are telling me he's great so I'm about as informed as you regarding his abilities

Then again my friends have become Kevin Steen fans this Summer so.....take that for what you will lol.

 

[sweetre15]

I just watched that Triple H vs. Taka Michinoku match. It was so good.

The suspense during that match was high too. I remember thinking Taka might just take the title that night.

Just imagine if they would have had a 3 segment match instead of barely 10 minutes.

 

[Warhammer]

Oh man, the potential.
