The Wrestling Thread Is Grateful. Thank You Daniel Bryan - - - Part 218

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I like O'Reilly, but I want the Lethal train to keep on rolling for a while yet.

If Kyle doesn't win, then I don't know who will beat Lethal anytime soon. Not that I hate Jay, I like him a lot, and he's been a great champion. Wouldn't mind if he continues being the Man.

Hahaha

If they were to do an Ambrose vs. Lesnar it would just be a remake of CM Punk vs. Lesnar at Summerslam from a few years back.

They've made Brock such a beast after beating the streak that there is nobody really worthy of pinning the guy clean. He made Cena, CM Punk, Reigns, and Rollins look like jobbers. Undertaker couldn't even get the job done in their recent feud. They've written themselves into a corner. Nobody seems like a threat to him.

CM Punk had Brock beat in their SummerSlam match, it was Heyman's outside interference that cost him. And he got a lot more offense in then I was expecting, too.

Quite frankly given everything Brock brings to the table in the ring in terms of size, strength, physique, and athleticism and legit cred as a wrestler/fighter he SHOULD be an end-game final boss level threat that dominates over everyone.

In brighter news:

Hopefully the Cruiserweight Championship returns. Looking forward to seeing this. Tyler Breeze is 206 so they might bend it a bit for him to bolster the numbers. Austin Aries, Chad Gable, Enzo Amore, Finn Balor, Hideo Itami, Sami Zayn from the people already on TV. Then they have in the pocket Biff Busick, La Sombra, Rich Swann, and a few other smaller names. Johnny Gargano is pretty much a guarantee. I wouldn't be surprised if Zack Sabre Jr. showed up. Plus they'll probably have a couple of legendary cruiserweights show up.

 

[chamber-music]

Wade Barrett has told the WWE that he will not be resigning a new deal when his current one expires in a few months.

He is a smart dude with his s*** together. Barrett will be fine.

 

[Warhammer]

Damn, that saddens me. Barrett was over before he got injured. Then he never really got back to that level as a face or a heel after KOTR.

[Slushy]

The biggest crime was this not happening:

WWE could've made some more money had they kept The Nexus around longer being dominant.

The return of the CW Championship is the only way an NXT guy would win. Otherwise, what exactly would be the point of having guys under contract with the WWE/NXT already to be in this event?

 

[Wylie Times]

When it comes to Wade Barrett it wasn't like WWE ever put him in the doghouse or anything. They consistently gave him pushes but it seemed like every time they did he got injured.

 

[Lobo]

I agree, he should have had a run.

 

[TX85]

Angélico is great!

 

[TX85]

Officer Joey Ryan is such a jerk as expected lol

 

[TX85]

Has wwe ever been interested in Cage from LU?

 

[TX85]

Rey Mysterio Jr's role in Lucha Underground is awesome, He seems to be in great shape than he has been for a couple of years and the story he's involved in is amazing!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Good dusty finish here. It actually makes sense, and is a creative variation on the suplex double pinfall.

 

[TX85]

Well Lucha Underground was f'n awesome as always, Time to start up NXT in a bit.

 

[TX85]

Was American Alpha paying tribute to the Steiner Brothers?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Samoa Joe VS Sami Zayn tore the house down, what a match!

 

[Bat Brain]

Man, I love Finn Balor but his promo work is really lacking

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I'd love for the Cruiserweight title to come back. Who in WWE could fall in that category?

Was RVD ever booked as a heel?

 

[Bat Brain]

I'd love for the Cruiserweight title to come back. Who in WWE could fall in that category?

Did you hear about the Cruiserweight Tournament they're doing for the WWE Network? It's gonna be for wrestlers 206 pounds and under.

Was RVD ever booked as a heel?

He was during the ECW invasion storyline.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I'm watching LU for the first time. Why is it filmed like it has an Instagram filter on it? Is that Shao Khan sitting up the stairs?

Whoever this Cage guy is is awesome.
