The Wrestling Thread Is The Only One Who Can Have Me - Part 226

[Dr. Evil]

Orton vs. Lesnar has not been announced yet.

 

[venom892]

They announced after the Canadian airing of Smackdown.

Except that this has happened before, and yet Cena still keeps on burying people regardless. So why would this time be any different in that regard?

Honestly the best option, imo, would have been to turn Cena heel (yeah I giggled as I was typing that, because it'll never happen. But it'd be the best option I think).

As for the Wyatts, not having them be completely humiliated by Super-Cena and The Rock at WrestleMania (one of the MANY horrible booking decisions on that show), and having them actually WIN their feud with the BOD, would have gone a long way towards salvaging their rep (and the latter could be a symbolic "passing the torch" moment to boot). But no, that'd make too much sense for Vinny Mac and co.

Except I never said it would happen (him putting Styles over clean). I said he knows he should put AJ over clean particularly from past experiences were he was wrong to not do the job. Like I said wether he does it or not that anoher story.

But Cena has put people over clean before when it needed to happen so it's not unheard of.

 

[Metallo]

I'm not gonna lie... I freaking loved this. The whole "Final Deletion" falls under the "really bad, but good" category. I was entertained.

That's what I said. I don't have POP tv so I haven't watched TNA in forever. Even before then when they were on Destination America I didn't watch (and I had that channel). It just went to so much crap creatively I quit. They had the talent but drove them away with stupid decisions and thus piss poor paychecks when Panda cut off the money machine.

But I watched some of the Final Deletion match online and I'll give it to them they went for broke. Just said screw it and went totally absurd with it. To the Hardys and TNA's credit maybe it's a one time thing that TNA needs right now. It's gotten them more talk and even more praise than they've had in long time. They need all the buzz and publicity they can get right now. It went beyond bad booking and bad creative. They just embraced the absurdity of the whole thing and went for pure ridiculous entertainment. I got a kick out of it. Like you said it's so bad it's good. That's better than being just plain bad at least.

Orton vs. Lesnar was just confirmed for Summerslam. Dr. Evil may now be at peace.

Ok nevermind I was wrong about Orton possibly retiring

 

[Darkness Falls]

the final deletion was better than expected, loved how it didn't give a damn about the absurdity of the subject matter

idk how they are going to follow it up

 

[nite-owl]

I loved everything about The Final Deletion.

 

[TX85]

Brock vs Orton at Summerslam? Oh hell to the yeah, An actual dream match of mine

Mr. Orton has unfinished business with Paul Heyman's client. t:

 

[NDX]

Maybe Orton can get an actual match out of Lesnar. I'm not gonna hold my breath. Just gonna hold my bladder until this match.

 

[chamber-music]

Final Deletion was insane but in a good way.

Really good NXT episode this week

Great Alexa Bliss and Bayley match. I think this match just made Bliss and is Probably her best showing as a wrestler yet.

match highlights
[YT]/mD_irN0yNbM[/YT]
It feels like Bayley is on her farewell tour before getting called up. Beats all her former foes. Loses to Asuka again and then drafted to the main roster.

Bayley with 'Sting career ender' buckle bomb.

2 out of 3 falls American Alpha vs The Revival match was awesome as well. "Classic Old School Dirty Heels vs New School Technical Babyfaces" The Revival are the best heel tag team in the WWE right now. CLINK ME.
I think American Alpha are either getting drafted to the main roster or having a feud with the Authors Of Pain next.

Rhyno's M.O. Turn up, gore everyone and leave. Murphy's Croissan'wich lives to fight another day.

On this day,

Sting defeated Ric Flair to win the NWA World Heavyweight Title at The Great American Bash 1990 from the Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Outsiders & Hulk Hogan "defeated" Team WCW (Sting, Lex Luger, & Randy Savage) at Bash At The Beach 1996 from the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida.

And that, my friends, is how the New World Order came to be.

Diamond Dallas Parka defeated Randy Savage on Nitro in 1997 from the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee.

All classic moments but...DDP as La Parka! I remember I lmao when that happened. I've got to see if I've got that on a DVD set. One of Dallas's best moments.

 

[famicommander]

Tuesday's Impact episode set a new record for viewership on Pop TV. They hit 410,000 viewers, beating the previous record by 51,000.

Good for TNA. We'll see if people stick around next week.

Who threw the pie at Kevin Owens?

[the_ultimate_evil]

Orton vs lesner makes no sense at all. Both guys are making a big comeback and neither guy can take a lose L said comeback as it makes them look weak as hell.

 

[Tvar10]

if Lesnar loses at UFC 200 thatll make him look weak too.....having a huge powerhouse in the WWE lose to a UFC guy, then coming back to beat on everyone in WWE makes the company look bad

 

[killface]

Well, they could have Lesnar lose to Orton. After a few months, Lesnar would come back and Paul Heyman would say that he had an undiagnosed injury when he fought Hunt and Orton (arthritis most likely, he could come back as Old Man Brock complete with the grey hair and beard). Lesnar would then be back to his old dominant self.

 

[Bat Brain]

Oh man, that 2 out 3 Falls match on NXT last night was crazy good. MOTY contender good.

Who threw the pie at Kevin Owens?

[YT]watch?v=g2ZPtVJuHH4[/YT]

I hated that bit. I've always loathed the "invisible" cameraman in wrestling. Seeing the pie to the face from Owens POV annoyed me just as much. That kind of stuff just pulls me right out of what I'm watching.

Orton vs lesner makes no sense at all. Both guys are making a big comeback and neither guy can take a lose L said comeback as it makes them look weak as hell.

If it were up to me, Evil, I'd push it back to Survivor Series and just start the feud at Summerslam somehow. One guy attacks the other one in a match after a backstage altercation just to make a statement.

I just think a match between those two should be built up a little more. WWE doesn't have many big time marquee matches left until they build some new big time stars and they haven't had the best record with that in the last few years.

I guess they could both save face with a DQ ending, no contest, double count out, etc. but that's so predictable.

 

[OnTheAir]

In a move that I'm sure surprises no one, TNA Impact Wrestling is moving back to Thursdays, beginning July 21st. New start time of 8pm.

[SpideyVille]

How convenient, the same week Smackdown Live begins.

 

[TX85]

Dixie is still trying to compete? With the roster shake up and live episodes, Smackdown may not be the B show anymore or at least not like it's been for years.

Yeah, I don't get it. Doesn't he have unfinished business with Bray Wyatt?
