The Wrestling Thread is a Dirty, Filthy, Brutal, Bottom-Feeding--SHUT UP! -- Part 177

[D.P.]

Can't wait for WWE 2K15.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

That's gonna be hype as hell.

So entertaining Impact episode tonight:

- It was fun to see Bobby Roode beat up MVP

- Hardys/Wolves should be entertaining and Matt cut a decent promo

- Excellent promo for Austin Aries where he put over the X Division in an exceptional way

- Solid match between Taryn Terrell and Gail Kim

- Not the biggest fan of this Dixie feud

- Bram and Magnus are a pretty good team and lol at Sam shae

- not the biggest fan of Dixie's angle

- I'm interested in what comes of this Sanada alliance with Storm

Second week in a row where Impact ends with Dixie Carter and Bully Ray when it should have ended with that confrontation between Bobby Lashley and Austin Aries.

Great to have Matt Hary back in TNA and reunite with Jeff as well as facing the Wolves next week.

This week is supposed to be the go-home show for Destination X and it's a weak one because it's hyped up only a bit, yet still taking a backseat to Dixie Carter. Compared to last week's great show, this one felt all over the place where some stuff is good and some stuff isn't. I think they're telling too many storylines in one place in this week's Impact.

The Beautiful People are not needed in Gail Kim/ Taryn Terrell's rematch. Taryn may have trouble adjusting to the 6-sided ring.

They didn't hype up Low Ki's return as the X-Division match was thrown in there at random. I find it funny that Robbie E got squashed by the Great Muta in his return. Seiya Sanada turning heel is the best thing going for him.

That "Put some shoes on" chant as Rusev

Which one is you Nolan?

When I met Sting yesterday, it was kinda cool to see me and him are essentially the same height.

I'm extremely jealous. Sting is the one who got me into wrestling 23 years ago.

I'm hoping I get a chance to meet him before he's retired for good.

The Ambrose/Cesaro No DQ match on Smackdown this week is awesome.

I like the way he's been promoted to the newer generation of WWE fans.

The jury is still out on whether or not wrestling “Icon” Sting has signed an official WWE contract, but in the last two weeks he has been announced for WWE 2K15, a new t-shirt was rolled out, Mattel came out with a new action figure, and the former WCW Champion made a shocking appearance at the San Diego Comic Con.

F4WOnline.com is reporting that Mattel was the company who set up Sting for Comic Con, and not specifically WWE or 2K Sports. However, in the past 24 hours WWE has come out with their own backstage interview with the Stinger, and released some of his most high profile matches on YouTube to familiarize their audience with his legendary body of work. Check them out below – some of his opponents include the man they call Vader, the Great Muta and more!

The Sting vs. Vader match from Starrcade probably is one of my favorite Sting matches of all time, and I think it may be his best match in terms of telling a story in the ring.

One of my other favorites is definitely against Flair on Monday Nitro the night after Spring Stampede 1999 when he returned to his Crow look (previously he was in Wolfpack red). He really returned with a fire that night both on the mic and in the ring. You could tell he and Flair were having a lot of fun in the ring as it was their first match against one another for a few years.

If it wasn't obvious already, it is clear that WWE is gearing things up to have him debut on TV at some point.

He's signed with the WWE. The WWE would not go to all this trouble to hype him up if he wasn't signed.

My thoughts on Smackdown

- Solid match between Usos/Wyatts and kinda amusing way to finish the match...kinda

- Nice MizTV segment with Miz/Bo/Dolph. Dolph cut a good promo and had a decent match with Bo while Miz did a good job on commentating. Not to mention I ed at the Miz/Bo Camraderie

- Reigns carrying himself with more confidence on the mic but still has a good ways to go.

- WOW! Awesome match with Cesaro and Ambrose...very ECW-esque indeed. Also nice ambush/beatdown by Cesaro/Rollins after the match with straight HEAT! But man this feud got more intense, Rollins said:

Spoiler

"When are you going to learn to stay down, when are you going to learn to DIE!?

- Nice AJ/Paige video package and lol at Paige's sarcasm before ambushing and quickly squashing Naomi. Which of course lead to more Naomi/Cameron progression although it was short.

- Cody/Goldust are really carrying the ball with their characters' eccentricities

- Decent match between Roman Reigns/Alberto Del Rio that covered Roman's weaknesses well.

Overall, a solid show that developed each feud and had some good matches to go along with it.

Wrestling week rankings now are:

1.Raw

2. Smackdown

3.Impact

4. NXT

5. Main Event

Ted Dibiase's thought's on Undertaker's streak ending. What do y'all think?



On the Undertaker’s Streak:
“My personal feeling is that wasn’t supposed to happen. I don’t know for sure, I hadn’t spoken to anybody that night, I haven’t spoken to anybody since but, I was told, somebody said that when ‘Taker when he got back through the curtain, he collapsed. And I think that whatever the move was, I think he got knocked out and he didn’t kick out because he was out. As I was watching it I saw the expression on [Paul Heyman]‘s face I thought, ‘Something ain’t right.’ So I really think that wasn’t supposed to happen.”

“If I were going to do it, the Streak was such a thing, a big deal with fans, I would either never beat him at WrestleMania or if I did beat him I would do it with somebody you’re really gonna give a big push.”
“Obviously, Brock’s great, but he didn’t need it.”

HBK said on JR's podcast that the decision on the streak was made 4 hours before the show.

ABC 15 News out of Phoenix reports that Daniel Bryan stopped a burglar at his home this past Monday night.

According to the article, Bryan and his wife, Brie, were pulling into his carport when he saw his front door open. Two men then ran out of the house and tried to get away. Bryan was able to catch one of the men, 22-year-old Cesar Sosa, and detain him until police arrived. The other suspect managed to flee the scene and has not been located.

Bryan will be meeting with media about the incident this afternoon.

Don't poke The Dragon, Cesar.

 

[sweetre15]

LOL, thanks to news like this,Comic-Con and Total Divas. People will still think about Bryan while he's gone

 

[cabel]

I wonder if Bryan got him with the running knee.

 

[Darkness Falls]

bryan is badass

also loved the ambrose vs Cesaro no dq match, that was some ecw style action, love the post match beatdown from rollins aswell

 

[runawayboulder]

They were probably after Brie's panties.

I'm just glad Bryan didn't hurt his bad shoulder taking one of those scumbags down.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I wonder if Bryan got him with the running knee.

Bryan was going to let him get away, but then the burglar shouted out, "You know, I never really bought you as a legit main eventer" so Bryan had to kick his ass.

Day 3 of G1 Climax was another really good show. Benjamin again screwed with my picks and now Goto's starting to as well. 6-4 for the day, and 21-9 overall.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

**** you Shelton Benjamin!!! Could he be a favorite to win the G1???

 

[cabel]

**** you Shelton Benjamin!!! Could he be a favorite to win the G1???

I can't possibly imagine that. As far as I know he hasn't been around since the Yokahama show.
