The Wrestling Thread Invented Canada! - - - Part 48

[Saint]

Rhodes has a match with the Big Show.

Yes, but haven't they doubled up in the past? I seem to recall somebody competing in a singles match and an MITB match at the eponymous PPV last year.

I might be wrong, though.

The match was announced on Smackdown.

This Sunday will be my 27th ROH show, and celebrating my 6th year as a fan. Appropriate it's also their 10th Anniversary show. This show is a bit rough for me, though, because the 4th is also the 2 year anniversary of my father's death. So, I'll be using this event to escape as much as I can as well as celebrate the better times with some friends.

Well, enough of my depressing life, here's the card!

Main Event
ROH World Champion Davey Richards & Kyle O'Reilly vs. "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards & Adam Cole

ROH World Tag Team Championship
Jay & Mark Briscoe defend against the Young Bucks

ROH World Television Championship
Jay Lethal defends against "The Dominant Male" Tommaso Ciampa w/ The Embassy LTD.

NO DQ - Grudge Match
Jimmy Jacobs takes on "Wrestling's Worst Nightmare" Kevin Steen

Special Attraction Tag Team Match
The Amazing Red & "Technical Lightning" TJ Perkins vs The House of Truth ("Unbreakable" Michael Elgin & Roderick Strong) w/ Truth Martini

Glory By Honor X Tag Team Rematch
Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team (Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin) vs The All Night Xpress (Rhett Titus & Kenny King)

Special Attraction
"Notorious 187" Homicide vs "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett w/ Brutal Bob & Maria Kanellis

Also scheduled to appear
- Steve Corino

Since I don't watch the shows, when did Future Shock split up to go with Edwards and Richards, respectively?

WWE changed this entertaining guy: [YT]_AzvpJevjJo[/YT] Into this boring guy I've seen since I started watching NXT: [YT]aPkRJpoeWgw[/YT] Whoever made that decision is an idiot, and if Percy has anything to do with it, then he must have no interest in getting over. His style in the ring reminds me of The Rock, John Cena, and Sting in his younger days. That coupled with the persona he displayed as "Showtime" could make him a star. --EDIT Crap, just click "Watch on Youtube" to see the videos.

 

[NDX]

Wow, he's really boring now. I was liking his odd character when he was on TV. Now, just pointless. What a waste.

And why is Titus O'Neil still employed?

Hopefully he has his original character when he debuts on Smackdown.

Finally catching up on SD, holy **** Sheamus vs Ziggler was good. Man, that just makes me feel good for future main events.

Wow what an epic card. WWE needs to take note, this show is booked better than their PPVs. Sorry about your pops

 

[NDX]

Thanks, JD.

Yeah, it is a good card. Although I could have done without seeing Edwards/Richards for a third time so close together. Just saw them 1 on 1 at Final Battle '11.

Still watching SD (look back has no FF feature, so boooo!) and man, looking at Henry vs Show just got me angry. Henry was looking great in the match wrestling injured. He's shown that even after years of complacency one can better themselves, become a beast in the ring and revitalize his career and a title and the WWE might lose him because of stupid decisions. A ****ing tragedy.

Hope you have a good time and the show gives you some escapism.

This card shows how long it's been since I've watched ROH, I don't recognize quite a few of those names, but Kevin Steen's new nickname is apt, although I doubt he intended it that way.

WWE changed this entertaining guy: [YT]_AzvpJevjJo[/YT] Into this boring guy I've seen since I started watching NXT: [YT]aPkRJpoeWgw[/YT] Whoever made that decision is an idiot, and if Percy has anything to do with it, then he must have no interest in getting over.

This is the problem with WWE, there's no doubt his original gimmick would not work as a top guy, but not everyone has to be, Ryder has shown you needn't be a serious character to at least get a good spot on the show, and once over you can evolve the character to be something more akin to a main eventer, but this notion that you have to aim straight for the main event is wrong.

This angle, like Nattie's farting, doesn't seem to have anywhere to to me.

WWE films needs to remake Kazaam with Titus as the star lol.

 

[Lobo]

I just watched Trish Stratus' movie. Oddly enough it wasnt a WWE film.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I just watched Trish Stratus' movie. Oddly enough it wasnt a WWE film.

Yeah, it's a Canadian-made action movie. If you thought there was no lower rung than WWE films, welcome to my country.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Yeah, it's a Canadian-made action movie. If you thought there was no longer rung than WWE films, welcome to my country.

I saw this TV show called "American In Canada" who's lead is portrayed as an American yet in real life he's Canadian.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I've been catching up with some Tyson Kidd matches and it's a real shame he's relegated to NXT as he's a tremendous performer. WWE need to put a manager with him and get him on one of the main two shows post-Mania.

Barrett Posts Possible Injury Update

Injured WWE star Wade Barrett posted the following on Twitter this past Thursday night, which might be an indication as to how much ring time he will be missing:

Seems like he might be out a little longer than initially expected, it's good not to rush a shoulder injury as Orton has found out.

Interesting comments from Nattie and Eve is really slipping nicely into her heel role.

 

[Lobo]

Hunter who would you put as Tyson Kidd's manager? what exactly happened with him anyway? Is it the higher ups that still have dislike for the Hart family (would explain Nattie farting gimmick)? I mean he was being billed as the last student of the Hart Dungeon, which I thought was pretty cool.

Maybe Dolph's comments will lead to him joining Vickie's stable?

Well they briefly put Hayes with him but I think Hayes is better suited to a more flamboyant type, like a returning JoMo or maybe Seth Rollins who has the pretty boy rock star look that could see him pushed as "The New Freebird". I'd put Arn with Kidd and play off the tradition aspect and the fact he is the last student of the Hart Dungeon.

Not sure what is happening, Nattie seems to be getting buried the worst because Kidd is winning some matches on NXT and seems to be a favourite of Regal, I think what stalled him was when the bodyguard gimmick fell through.

That would be cool, although I think Dolph may break away soon. The thing is Kidd has more to offer the roster than Gabriel, Eziekiel and Slater and could at least be half of a good tag team with someone like Swagger.
