The Wrestling Thread has diagrams. DIAGRAMS!

The "Dean Ambrose is just a Joker knock-off" excuse just makes me shake my head and laugh.

... but that is the feeling I get whenever he is on camera or in those backstage segments.
He doesn't intimidate me with what he is saying as he looks like a guy anyone could beat up.
He move set is standard at best, on the level of Miz/Cena.
I just don't buy the guy as a threat to anyone without his back up guys.

 

[Slushy]

It's things like this that make me slap my forehead in disgust. That match was the best match of the night, better than most of the matches at WM, and involved the current WHC and the USC. Yet all those people turned the channel. If they don't want to see good wrestling, then why to they watch wrestling? I don't understand, and never will.

To be fair, you can only be interested in watching the same two guys wrestle each other so many times. I loved Kofi and Dolph's feud in 2009, but even I got bored of their rematches after that year.

People close to Vince note that he believes Rock vs. Brock Lesnar will still happen at WrestleMania XXX.

F***ing hell!

No his moveset is definitely more advanced than those guys....Watch his matches with Seth Rollins, William Regal or Daniel Bryan in the indies. He has a more technical style than you might think.

The reason is that modern WWE fans need a reason to care about the match, what's it's purpose? what will be the aftermath? how does it forward either character?

If you look at Raw it had several good matches but they all lost numbers because they all meant nothing. I'm an oldschool wrestling fan and even I was bored because I knew that Kofi, the new US champion, was just being used as a JJTS, I knew Cesaro and Cody would eat mat, basically three guys who were put into cold matches as glorified enhancement talent, it kills interest in my view.

I suppose that makes since but still you'd think that people would watch these matches as opposed to some of the throwaway segments that GAINED viewers like the Tug Of War thing.

So it looks like The Lean Mean Burying Machine wont win this time:

-- Word coming out of this week’s WWE TV taping is Brock Lesnar is currently penned in to defeat Triple H in their steel cage match at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view. Some are worried that Lesnar will look weak if he loses their next match. Officials want Lesnar to continue to look strong for any main event feuds they come up with over the next year. As we noted earlier, Lesnar and Triple H settling their rivalry inside a steel cage has been WWE's plan all along, but it was not supposed to happen so soon. The match was moved up due to CM Punk's hiatus. Two weeks ago on RAW, Lesnar annihilated 3MB. WWE officials were very pleased with the way Lesnar came off, especially the crowd tease at the end where he almost hit Heath Slater a third time.

I guess it's taste but I don't like the Funkadactyls at all. The Bellas look a little rough these days.

It's definitely personal taste. I know Kaitlyn seems to be the hot chick these days, but she does absolutely nothing for me, personally. My tastes tends to lean towards the Funkadactyls, Layla, Kristal Marshall, Melina, AJ, Mercedes KV/Sasha Banks...and I know I'm in the minority, but I love Vickie's curves!

Guerrero ... isn't she just a single curved sphere?!

Don't knock it, man, the round dome is one of the strongest structures in geometric terms.

It makes sense for Lesnar to beat Triple H you can't have a monster that loses to everyone.

lol...to each his own! She's breasts, she's thighs, she's @$$...I like, I like!

F***ing hell!

It's all up to the Rock and his people. He's shooting Hercules as soon as he's 100% plus he has Fast and Furious 7, GI Joe 3 and probably one or two other films he has yet to shoot. There is no guarantee he will be at Wrestlemania 30 and even if he will be, there's a chance he won't have a match, especially if he has a film that shoots from the Royal Rumble until a few weeks prior to Wrestlemania 30.

Right now it's too early to tell if he's going to be at Wrestlemania 30, so I wouldn't boycott WM 30 just yet. If his people tell him "Don't compete at Wrestlemania 30 anymore, just go there to accept the Hall of Fame induction" then that's what he would do. They were likely in a panic mode when he got hurt. Plus The Rock is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild and I am sure that they have something to say about his appearance at WM 30. If the higher ups at SAG say that he can only show up at WM 30 in a non-wrestling capacity, chances are he'll show up in New Orleans in a Non-wrestling capacity.

This would cause Vince McMahon to go in a rage, but that's nothing new. However, Vince does not control the Rock anymore. Only his WWE name "The Rock" he controls. I would assume that Dwayne has 100% control over his likeness, which means that the WWE can't do anything with his image without his consent.

Of course, if he's unable to get the Rock to have a match and he's only allowed to make a non-wrestling appearance at WM 30, Plan B for WWE is probably (if he's healthy enough and willing to appear and compete):

As of right now, I give the odds of him showing up at Wrestlemania 30 at 40%.

its a good thing that they fed Lesner 3MB to make him look strong

Al Snow vs Bobby Roode from Sunday Night Heat.

I really only found out who Kaitlyn was a couple weeks ago, I guess. I don't know what it is about her that does it for me. I have never really been into her "type" before. I guess maybe she just carries it really well. the Funkadactyls and Bella Twins don't really do anything for me. AJ definitely does. I think the best looking are in the past, though, like Trish (who still looks amazing), Stacy (also amazing), and Sunny.

Lol, I think any one of us on this thread has a fighting chance against 3 MB on our own.

This bit of Rock news will decrease The Rock's chances of a WM30 match:

Sure you can. Just ask Big Show , Kane , and Mark Henry. Seriously though , They've already mishandled Brock , but if they don't have enough sense to put him over at Extreme Rules it will kill his momentum.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The more acting projects the Rock signs up for, the less likely he's able to have a match at Wrestlemania 30.

Probably a good thing.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Good match between Kofi and Cesaro, some cool spots. One-legged giant swing was cool.

2 good workers in need of a gimmick change and a manager.

Btw, just realized that Miz has been MIA.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Ah yes. I don't think he has been seen since his epic one-day IC title reign.

 

[Van Petrol]

Al Snow vs Bobby Roode from Sunday Night Heat.

[YT]hVhqXpvVK_Q[/YT]

The E missed an opportunity with Roode.

 

[Lobo]

Probably on his honeymoon with Maryse

Completely agree.

I agree, Vickie's thick in all the right places. Her daughter is too!
