The Wrestling Thread Is Full, But We Hear TNA Is Hiring! - Part 250

[Dr. Evil]

i really like the Claymore/Zig Zag combo

yeah, maybe Ziggler will give a damn this time.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Maybe the plan for Nikki Cross is to have her take the belt of Shayna Baszler?

 

[Wheels]

McIntyre has a real shot at getting over this time in my opinion.

But with Ziggler? That guy has checked out, moreso than Orton and Lesnar.

Also, with Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Shinsuke "Nutcracker" Nakamura and Cesaro on the same brand, lets hope Randy Orton actually gives a damn.

Asuka seems to be handling the end of her streak well:

Uh-huh! The Empress got some unfinished business with the Queen

 

[Dr. Evil]

With the talent coming into Smackdown Live, Randy Orton is going to have to step up his work in the ring. His feud with Bryan four years ago was the best I have seen out of Orton in a long time.

Even with Ziggler, yes.

Breezango is also a RAW team and I really like them.

These moves Smackdown Live made in the Superstar Shakeup feel like moves Triple H would make, not Road Dogg.

I am a little leery on Big Cass, but I am sure that when he and Orton get together, it'll be nothing but headlocks and rest holds for 20 minutes.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Becky is just great:

Plus when she came out, there was a look of fear on the face of Carmella.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I wonder if there will be a "Serena Deeb" like comeback story in this year's Mae Young Classic?

If Road Dogg can't bring SmackDown back to greatness with this roster then he has no business writing for anyone.

Cass should use the powerbomb as a finisher. Big boots are lame.

Eh, I don't mind them. I especially love big boots in the corner like Zayn and MVP use.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Smackdown were clearly the big winners of the Superstar Shakeup. Most of the talent drafted to Raw were dead weight, and even in the case of top tier talent like Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn there was nothing else for them to do on SD and a move made sense. Then in case of additions, they poached some top Raw talent like Samoa Joe, The Miz, The Bar and Asuka, as well as getting Sanity and Andrade “Cien” Almas off NXT. Add onto that them already having the likes of Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Charlotte, New Day and the Usos on the roster, and Smackdown is truly STACKED.

If anything, now I feel like it’s kinda a shame they chose now to move to co-branded PPVs, as Smackdown now feels dense with enough talent and exciting potential matches to fill a PPV card all on their own. I just hope the booking is able to take advantage of all the prime resources. It’s a bit deflating that, with all the potential dream opponents lined up to give Daniel Bryan a memorable return program, they seem to be pairing him with heat vacuum Big Cass. Though I guess in a way that makes sense, as the only way I’d ever want to watch Cass on TV was if he was matched against Bryan, and if anyone can drag a great match out of him and thus bring out his star potential it would be Bryan.

 

[Mani-Man]

What good writing has he done so far?
There were always bits and pieces that seemed okay, but thats it.

Cass should use the powerbomb as a finisher. Big boots are lame.

How dare you...big boots are awesome.t:
Its just that Cass is awful at throwing them out.

Speaking of Cass, i normally dont give a damn about how someone looks...but he has a weird body shape and the attire doesnt help.
I dont know why it stands out to me this much, but it does.
The Guy looks weird.

 

[Keyser Soze]

The more I think about it, the more I like Daniel Bryan VS Big Cass, IF they approach it right. If the idea is for Daniel Bryan to play Jake Roberts and play a stepping stone in Cass’s ascent to the main event, then ugh. But if the idea is to let Daniel Bryan chop Cass down like a tree at Backlash, weather the initial storm of a Cass beatdown to get that underdog heat only to comeback and dismantle him for the win, then I’m actually all for it. It gives Bryan something to do while saving a big money match with the likes of The Miz for a bigger show with more build, with the added benefit of probably giving Cass his best match ever and putting him in a position to learn.

 

[TheFuture]

Surely Cass is Miz's new heavy. That's the only explanation.

The SD roster is indeed stacked now but that's not necessarily good. Someone is going to inevitably lose out in a 2 hour show. Either that or we're going to have to endure those terrible multi singles wrestler feuds which are terrible.

I’m glad he reconciled with WWE and went into the Hall Of Fame before he passed.

 

[Dr. Evil]

RIP to Bruno.

I think I recall X-Pac saying on his podcast that the dog helps him remain on the straight and narrow path of sobriety. I might be mistaken about that.
