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

[LOBO3315a]

So Tyler Breeze is no longer in the doghouse?

 

[LOBO3315a]

It's The Best Thread On The Superhero Hype! The Wrestling Freaking Thread!

 

[Pink Ranger]

The changing backdrop and he's got the belt for some reason.

 

[The Apocalypse]

That was gold.

 

[LOBO3315a]

The Wrestling Thread Looks Like It Slept In A Dumpster!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Dean looks like the kind of guy who would have to save up to be able to sleep in a dumpster.

 

[LOBO3315a]

The Wrestling Thread Is The Backbone Of The Superhero Hype! And Now The Whole Wold Knows It!

 

[The Apocalypse]

Can we get this Dean all the time?

 

[enterthemadness]

Bang. Hit the nail right there. It's probably my biggest concern as an outcome of the draft in WWE too.

Bellator is what...5 years old? And at the 150s already...

 

[javonstokess]

THAT'S the Dean Ambrose that could legitimately beat Brock Lesnar.

 

[NDX]

This is the Ambrose we've needed for a long time now.

 

[Darkness Falls]

great segment with rollins/ambrose
loved the kevin owens bit with zayn

 

[runawayboulder]

Owens and Zayn should get drafted to different brands then just keep crashing each others matches.

 

[LOBO3315a]

It's always fun to see Cesaro pick up someone KO's size and swing him around.

 

[Darkness Falls]

anyone else get Pinky and the brain vibes whenever the club does their "Beat up john cena" thing

 

[Loki882]

I feel like the "PG era" kind of hurts Ambrose's gimmick to a degree right away. When you're being billed as this unstable lunatic street brawler who isn't afraid of anything and can get really violent, then that doesn't exactly scream "PG." I'd imagine that Stone Cold would have even had issues with the "PG" stuff because he could be as "Stone Cold" as he became (which is what made him really popular to begin with).

 

[javonstokess]

^There's truth to this.

That Ambrose has pulled this off and has gotten over as a FACE and not a Heel, is kinda amazing.

 

[Loki882]

The audience tends to respond to these kind of anti-heroish/morally grey type of characters (and not just in wrestling, but in other media as well). I mentioned Stone Cold, but you could also throw The Rock, Eddie Guerrero, Mick Foley's various personas, The Undertaker, and even Sasha Banks in there as well.

Also Samoa Joe got lots of cheers in TNA despite technically playing a heel, and Asuka has lots of fans in NXT right now as well.

 

[LOBO3315a]

RAW turned into a Rob Zombie movie!

 

[javonstokess]

...that ***** was straight out of the Attitude Era.

And I LOVED IT!!!!

This New Day vs. The Wyatt Family feud is awesome.

Compare it to Matt & Jeff Hardy's Final Deletion match

 

[LOBO3315a]

Chicken tenders should be the new chant when the Klub comes to the ring.

I don't watch TNA...well, I do watch T & A.

The thing that has people groaning about Dean right now is how comedic his face character is while supposedly being this nutjob who is really dangerous. As much as I love the guy, he doesn't have the badass cred that Austin had before hugging McMahon and wearing cowboy hats, or Mick Foley before turning into Dude Love and funny Mankind He didn't work in visable companies when he was the sick twisted hardcore guy.

Which is why he SHOULD have beaten Lesnar at Wrestlemania and SHOULD get a pin on Lesnar now.
