The Wrestling Thread Is Driving Through Suplex City! - Part 201

[DarkSentinel]

Not young enough! We need you jobbing clean to 12 year olds! We need the tweener demographic back!

Just for that I'm DDTing Justin Bieber AND all of One Direction through cinder blocks.

Dana Brooke debut was kinda meh.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Agreed. She's pretty hot though she doesn't seem to realize that wrestling is PG now

 

[zeroapoc]

I was thinking the same. She did the rub body and flex thing like 10 times.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Not that I minded much

 

[Pink Ranger]

She and Alexa need to downplay the stripper moves. They don't need to remind the audience that men will find them hot; it is actually more appealing if they don't go over the top with that.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

You know I will man. Hopefully in about 3-4 months I'll be posting videos of my matches for you all to rib on

I can't wait to say "minus 5 stars!"

 

[Donnie Darko]

I've only been able to watch a little bit of NXT from last night, but all of the promo videos have made it look like Dana will be one of those "hot and athletic but not a good wrestler" types. More Torrie Wilson and less Trish Stratus. Hopefully she will prove me wrong.


Good to hear that Vince is high on the Lucha Dragons. Them vs Kidd and Cesaro could be an amazing feud. Hopefully Kidd and Cesaro won't have to job in non-title matches anymore after this week.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I should clarify that I have nothing against Torrie Wilson or her role. She just wasn't a great ring talent.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Evad Reztlem, are you?

 

[DarkSentinel]

Or that could form a tag team and every straight man on the planet can implode due to their combined hotness.

Like a modern-day version of The Moondogs!

I honestly wasn't impressed. She'll show more vs. Banks, Bayley, Bliss, and Charlotte of coure, but right now? Not sold.

The funny thing was that during her match Graves mentioned how she referred to herself as the "anit-barbie", and she constantly flaunted her curves like that's what we should care about.

In other words...she's a Barbie!

I thought he said "Barbie killer". I'll have to watch it again at some point.

Speaking of NXT:

Of course, Vince might be mentally deranged enough to give the German a Nazi gimmick.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I feel bad for Paige.....not because of her "injury" but because she has to do a movie with The Miz.

 

[Slushy]

The trip was a b*tch as I wasn't familiar with Route 58, but I made it back in one piece after an 18 hour total drive.


Awards ceremony went on too long at 6 hours.


I was grateful to finally meet Larry Hennig. He was the main reason for me going.


Harley Race signed his book for me.


I swear Jake Roberts is still bi-polar. He'll be good to you one moment and treat you like a piece of sh** the next. At least, Scott Hall is good to fans when it comes to photo ops these days.


Mike McGuirk is still hot even at 60 years of age! She's another person that needs to be in the WWE Hall Of Fame!


It was great to see Smash again, but Ax not being there was a buzzkill.


Kong's manager smoothed out the differences with TNA. Bills have to be paid.


Talked with Dillon at the bar afterwards for an hour on why WCW folded. There was too much garbage and not enough wrestling. When him and Sullivan tried to bring balance back to the product, their advice fell on deaf ears.


Unfortunately, a popular female wrestler has become an alcoholic. Its sad to see what she has become and there's nothing I can do about it.


As for belt pics:

And this was the highlight of the entire trip as I righted the biggest wrong of his career:

 

[Donnie Darko]

Just watched some more of NXT. Say what you will about the rest of her whole move set or persona, but do you think that WWE has realized that this next diva does a more impressive looking version of John Cena's finisher?

 

[Hunter Rider]

Not odd at all. They clearly must have had an idea that AJ wasn't going to be around long and were planning to invest everything in Paige as the main face going forward.

And I think Naomi showed heel potential.

Paige as the main face is what is odd in general. If they wanted to use AJ to get her over the roles should have been reversed with her going heel and putting AJ on the shelf permanently to build her as a threat.

I thought it was a cool finisher. She should incorporate a juicy hip swivel though since it appears she's going to be a heel.

Also, she is a Killer Barbie. I think that's a more apt nickname than "THE Total Diva" personally.

 

[PyroChamber]

I want to see her do a promo first and see what her character's all about.

She is all about flexing and perplexing

Right now, John Cena is reading this and going, "That's it! That's I've been missing all along!".

 

[dreammaster]

I heard the reason DB was pulled from tour because he suffered a Concussion

 

[Pink Ranger]

Bryan is one of my favorites, but what the hell was he doing with including duelling headbutts to his moveset?
