The Wrestling Thread Has An Incredibly Strongly Worded Letter In Its Appraisal File

[cabel]

Since now's as good a time as any, here's a quick rundown of my thought on New Japan's New Beginning in Hiroshima

1 El Desperado and Jushin Liger defeated Bushi and Kota Ibushi

I'm always happy to see Liger, and I'm starting to dig Ibushi and Desperado. Have not seen enough of Bushi to form an opinion. Otherwise this match did little to keep my attention.

2 Minoru Suzuki (with Taichi) defeated Tama Tonga

Of the Bullet Club members, Tonga does the least for me. I've yet to really see anything from Suzuki Other than a bad hair cut. Didn't care.

3 Chaos (Takashi Iizuka and Toru Yano) defeated Kazushi Sakuraba and Yuji Nagata

I like Nagata and I enjoyed what I saw of Sakuraba. Yano and Iizuka, not so much.

4 Michael Tarver defeated Hiroyoshi Tenzan

I like Tenzan. I like Tarver...........'s face mask. Most memorable thing was the accidental cut and the crap finish where Tenzan just kind of runs into Tarver's fist.

5 Satoshi Kojima defeated Big Daddy Yum-Yum (with Bruce Tharpe)

I enjoyed this match a lot more than I was expecting. It was like a pretty good match at half speed. Plus I didn't really expect what lineage the NWA title has left to be carried on by someone named Big Daddy Yum-Yum. Also, what **** is that guy wearing? Did somebody steal his backpack and forgot the straps?

6 Chaos (Tomohiro Ishii and Yujiro Takahashi) defeated Tetsuya Naito and Tomoaki Honma

I honestly can't remember a thing about this match.

7 Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson and Prince Devitt) defeated Alex Shelley, Kushida, Ryusuke Taguchi and Togi Makabe

Really fun tag match. I've become a bit of a bullet club mark in the past couple weeks, so now I'm starting to dread the possibility of Devitt's coming to WWE cause I love the Real Rock N' Rolla persona.

8 Hirooki Goto and Katsuyori Shibata defeated Chaos (Kazuchika Okada and Yoshi-Hashi)

Enjoyable match that got me interested in Okada's upcoming defense against Goto.

9 Bullet Club (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) (with Tama Tonga) defeated K.E.S. (Davey Boy Smith, Jr. and Lance Archer)

Decent match with a really weak ending.

10 Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

The rest of the card felt like a random Raw, this felt like a completely different show right from the opening bell. Great main event.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

If they don't there's going to be chaos.

I wouldn't mind HHH vs Bryan, but given how lava hot the crowd was for him tonight, it's almost a bad move.

 

[TX85]

This is why World Champions shouldn't wrestle every week on TV.

In my universe on 2K14 my champions and especially the Undisputed champion rarely wrestle single matches on Raw&Smackdown except occasional title matches,They defend on every ppv though of course

Randy Orton vs Batista at WrestleMania XXX: The Meh of the Century

 

[The Sage]

He actually did that move to RVD at Armageddon 2003.

And on RAW as well to RVD. He won with it.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Randy Orton vs Batista at WrestleMania XXX: The ****-Stain of the Century

Fixed.

 

[venom892]

Sage, as far as Edge as a performer, I'd say while he was never going to be the "man" he was a definite main event player. He got it done in the ring, delievered great believable promos and was probably the best heel of the mid 2000's. He was Cena's best opponent before Punk came along.I'd rank him in the top ten of the last ten years.

 

[Hunter Rider]

And on RAW as well to RVD. He won with it.

See Randal, you can't fool us IWC folk! *straightens straw e-hat* Same old ****! same old ****! same old ****!

 

[Herolee10]

Fixed.

You know, even IF we don't get Bryan added to the WHC match at WM, it's still going to be a Triple Threat Match. How and Who?

Basically, it'll be...


Randy Orton vs Batista vs.......The Fans for the WHC, with the fans winning by submission as neither Batista or Orton will have the balls to go up against every fan chanting on how they suck and don't want them in the ring.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

One of the best tag teams ever IMO.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Lita is a good choice, but I think it may preclude my celebrity pick:

[sweetre15]

Someone gave me negative Reputation points because I pointed out the Convolution of the Authority Angle on Wrestlezone

My gosh do some people there not like WWE criticism that much?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I'm just hoping they can find a way to put Bryan in the Title Match at Mania.

No one wants a triple threat. No one.

 

[venom892]

It's the only option at this point. Batista and Orton are going to main event regardless so adding Bryan is our only reprieve.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

It's the only way sadly. Plus, it gives me an even greater reason to boo Orton and Batista live.

 

[X Knight]

so, aside from Lita in the HOF, anything exciting or noteworthy happen on RAW tonight?

 

[sweetre15]

some quality tag matches and an excellent build up to Shield vs Wyatts.

Bryan was lava hot and we got two exceptional TV tag matches. Great build to Shield/Wyatts too.

 

[sweetre15]

Yeah I was happy to see Bryan get retribution on Kane after those two interferences

Some jackass gave me a red rep on Wrestlingforum because I said the WHC wasn't treated like a main event title in recent years and didn't actually offer opportunities for guys to be main eventers because it was a glorified midcard title.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

It's the only option at this point. Batista and Orton are going to main event regardless so adding Bryan is our only reprieve.

I can think of 2 very easy ways to change it. This isn't complicated at all.

 

[Hunter Rider]

- Before Raw went on the air tonight, when the announcement was made that the show was about to go live, a big CM Punk chant broke out. Michael Cole reportedly picked up the mic and said "how about…just go away."

- In related news, when the Dean Ambrose vs Mark Henry match went to commercial break tonight, a CM Punk chant was taking place, and Seth Rollins grabbed the mic and said "CM Who?"

- After Raw went off the air tonight, a big six man tag team match took place, which saw John Cena, Batista and Daniel Bryan team up to beat The Wyatt Family. The end came when the Wyatts triple teamed Bryan to get DQ'd, and then Batista celebrated with fans outside the ring while Cena and Bryan lead the crowd in a Yes chant to end the show.

 

[X Knight]

ah, thanks guys.

seems like the Shield vs Wyatts matchup is the most interesting thing going on right now.

 

[Slushy]

Cena beat Orton again. Whoop dee doo!

Anyone who can provide a rational explanation to this authority angle is downright scary to me. Perhaps all the negative feedback is from people who can't handle truth. I don't attack wwe because I hate the company. Like most fans I just want to see it get better.
