The Wrestling Thread Ended Itself Early Because of a Dislocated Finger. - - Part 112

If Styles does sign with the WWE, let's hope it's better than Chris Harris run.

Sometimes, I wish I understood WWE's thought process when it comes to Ziggler's character because why is Ziggler's best promo work on Backstage Fallout when he hardly gets 2 minutes to speak on Raw and Smackdown most of the time: http://youtu.be/ekkC1nmkuBk

Sometimes I wonder if WWE punishes the fans for liking Ziggler by giving him super limited screen time despite his segments bringing in viewers and him being over with the crowd?

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

No, I think they actually have a direction with the character, but everytime they try to pull the trigger on it, something happens like him getting injured by Thwagger.

 

[cherokeesam]

oh wow

Cesaro is a beast. He *really* deserves some quality bookings and a push. And is Zayn the next D-Bry?

Or Mania season comes around the corner and they try their BEST to ruin him like they were doing from January to March by giving him the jobber entrance and making him constantly job to Miz, Ryback, Kane, and Alberto Del Rio.

Not to mention STILL insisting on shoving Alberto Del Rio down everyone's throats.

They give like, everyone the jobber entrance now.

The thing with jobbing him out the way they did, they wanted to make him a "vulnerable" champion when he cashed in, but have him overcome the odds once he was a champion. Unfortunately, when he finally cashed in, he got injured and they had to scrap his reign. Then they did the double turn, turning Dolph face, and now they have to go with this "get him away from AJ and Big E" route, and it's unfortunately taken him out of the title picture.

I'm hoping RVD doesn't beat Del Rio for the title so that Dolph can get the title back.

Same here and Im hoping Ziggler doesn't pursue the US title or atleast doesn't win it because that would be a glorified demotion because that belt is a curse.

 

[sweetre15]

As for Rhodes, If and when he enters the WHC title picture, I kinda hope that they get some of his family involved the way they did with Orton in 2005 during his taker feud. It would be cool to see either Dusty Rhodes manage Cody or his godfather Magnum T.A whom was super close to holding that title before his injury.

 

[DarkSentinel]

It'd be funny to see Dusty and Goldust slap the crap out of Sandow.

And just to rub salt in, have Goldust go "OOOOOOHHHHHHHH, you're welcome"

Now that Brooke Hogan is gone from TNA.Who was worst her or Claire Lynch?

 

[OnTheAir]

The one thing the current generation has that no other generation had before them is that nobody seems to have a problem putting anyone else over and helping to make someone else a star.

Say what you will about the Golden Age or the Attitude Era, but if Hogan, Hart or Michaels didn't like you, they wouldn't do a thing for you. And if they didn't like you three years ago, they wouldn't change their mind.

Even if they have a problem putting someone over, what can they do? In previous eras, the top stars had a certain amount of perceived power. They could threaten to leave the WWF and go to another territory. Even Bret and Shawn could hold offers from WCW over Vince's head, if they chose to do so.

Nowadays, no other organization is on WWE's level, everyone is under contract and you don't even own your name/gimmick. You have nothing to threaten Vince with.

Del Rio's doing a great job and he deserves to have a lengthy reign due to his shoddy booking in the past. Not going to lie though, I do want Rob Van Dam to finally win the World Heavyweight Title.

The best thing that could happen at this point for ADR is Rey Mysterio returning in September and feuding with him but there would be no more viable feuds for him after that besides Ziggler reentering the title picture.

At the end of the day though, ADR has gotten more chances in a top spot than Ziggler has gotten brogue kicks to the face and it still takes an act of Congress for the audience to care about him compared to the extent he's been force fed to us.

 

[DarkSentinel]

I have an issue with the acronym WWE. "World Wrestling Entertainment"? I mean, I get that it's entertainment, we all get that it's entertainment. But WWF absorbed WCW and ECW for crying out loud. If they were gonna go for the "WWE" acronym, wouldn't, I dunno, World Wrestling Empire better encapsulate their growth since the Invasion?

Just general ramblings.

 

[sweetre15]

Does any old school Jim Crockett Promotions fans think that Magnum T.A could have been as big as Hulkamania if he wouldn't have gotten injured? He was gaining a lot of steam as a star on the rise and had more talent than Hogan on the mic and in that ring.

Also, should he be inducted in the the WWE Hall of Fame for 2014?

Wouldn't put it past them. Look what they did with Ryder. Gets himself super over with the fans on his own and what do they do? ****tease the fans by giving him the US title briefly then stripping it off him almost immediately then barely ever using him in a meaningful way again.

Guess everyone don't care for Vinny Mac's b-day.

JCP certainly wanted Magnum to be their Hogan, and without question he would have been given every opportunity. You have to wonder what would have become of him (and JCP) if the accident never happened. He definitely would have been given a world title run. But, with Magnum as their main babyface, would Crockett have ever felt the need to turn Nikita? And how would Magnum's presence have affected Sting's career once Crockett bought out the UWF?

But, all that said, he wouldn't have reached Hulkamania levels. Crockett didn't have Vince's vision, imagination or marketing ability. And, as good as he was, Magnum didn't quite have Hogan's charisma.

Still, in my opinion, Magnum absolutely should be a Hall Of Famer.

Which is a shame because with the right business approach, JCP could have really taken off with Magnum as their top guy. They already had a great product and a good bit of Star Power with Flair, Sting, The Road Warriors, The 4 Horseman, The Rock N Roll Express, Terry Funk, Lex Luger, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race etc. and possibly never would have ran into the Incompetence levels of the various idiots that were put in charge of WCW's booking in the 90s.

As for Magnum, that guy just had a Machismo aspect about him that not many modern wrestlers have today...Bonafide star
