The Wrestling Thread Is The Wrestling Thread 365 Days A Year! - Part 249

Roman's promo was good, I thought.

Cena's was good too, but swerving on the Taker match came across as such a heel move to the crowd. Please WWE, don't do that match. The emotion, and the impact of Taker hanging up his hat, coat and gloves last Mania is all undone if you bring him back for one more match with Cena. It's stupid.

 

[Yeti_Hunter]

Is there a possibility Taker will come back as the American Badass version rather than the Undertaker? Everyone saw him basically retire the hat and gloves, I just keep getting this feeling, especially now with Cena going back to Smackdown.

 

[cyclone]

I guess I could live with that, but phenom Undertaker is kind of their thing really. The most iconic, money spinning in promo pictures etc. Doubt they'd drop it. He wore it for that Raw 25th promo too.

Cena gets Nakamura at Fast Lane for a shot to join his match against AJ Styles. Cena loses. Perhaps Undertaker causes it, or Cena just loses clean and then calls out the Undertaker again perhaps?

Who knows.

 

[famicommander]

Undertaker should have retired years ago. At this point he's TNA Hogan in terms of mobility... maybe worse.

 

[javonstokess]

Sigh...it should have been Lesnar vs. Stroman. I tire of Roman Reigns.

Same with Alexa Bliss. Yawn (she still fine though). Yawn for Sasha vs. Bayley.

I don't know, man. WWE has just lost me. I'm trying to stick around, I really am.

 

[Flash525]

I don't get why they're bringing Undertaker back for another Wrestlemania performance. He's done! His last few Wrestlemania events have, quite frankly, been an embarrassment to watch. He's not doing himself any favours here, and there's no favours being done for anyone else either.

They've got a whole locker room full of talent. Time to let the older guys step aside.

 

[javonstokess]

I honestly thought that Cena's WM feud was going to be with Elias. They'd already set it up pretty well.

 

[famicommander]

Alexa Bliss is an absolutely terrible wrestler. She's good on the mic, good at her character, anf obviously very attractive but she is awful in the ring.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I think this year is a crucial year for John Cena in Hollywood. He has Blockers and the Bumblebee spin-off coming out and both films have him in the lead role. If both films do great and he gets praise for the roles, Cena is going to be in high demand in Hollywood and he basically becomes the Rock in regards to the WWE......so busy outside of the WWE that he's not going to appear in the WWE for a year or more. If the two films flop big though, I could see him continuing to do what he's been doing going in and out of the WWE and relegated to supporting roles in movies, although I don't think he'll do WWE produced films. This will be a crucial year for Cena in Hollywood. Is he the Rock? Or is he more of a supporting player? We'll see.

 

[famicommander]

Hey guys, John Cena is in movies. Do you think he will be in more movies? John Cena. Movies. Movies, movies, movies, movies, John Cena, movies. John Cena.

Spoiler

movies

Cena's not going to be the next Rock.

I've seen worse.

 

[famicommander]

I've seen worse.

And?

She's still ridiculously bad. She would be bad for the Divas era, let alone the more respectable era we are in right now.

She's not as bad as you and many others make her out to be. Is she the best hand they have, no, but she is nowhere near the worst, or what I would call bad. She is a mediocore hand, but she is a star because of the mic, character, and charisma. She also isn't dangerous to work with like some who get praised for being great workers, *cough Sasha *cough

 

[Dr. Evil]

Maybe not, but of both films do well, he's going to be more like Batista. I keep hearing that Hollywood doesn't have movie stars anymore and it's about the film franchises, but I think that that is wrong as the Rock is still a big name movie star.

Bliss can't even run the ropes. Watch her try next match. She runs up to the ropes, makes a visible pause, turns, then comes off them.

She is as bad as anyone in WWE or Impact. She's barely better than Brandi Rhodes, and Brandi has less than a dozen real singles matches under her belt.

It's like Kelly Kelly all over again! Certainly not more than just a pretty face.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Alexa isn't a bad wrestler, she just pales in comparison to the horsewomen and most of the other NXT alumni. She still brings a fair bit of value to the roster, unlike Lana, who's really floundering when she's not with Rusev.

 

[javonstokess]

I don't have a problem with Bliss as a wrestler, but I do have an issue with her punking EVERY female wrestler on the roster. Also, her title reign has been boring as heck.

 

[famicommander]

I legitimately don't understand how anyone could think Bliss isn't the worst regular wrestler in WWE. Not a manager or authority figure that sometimes ends up in a match, mind you. But a full time wrestler. I can't think of any women on Raw, Smackdown, or NXT that are as bad. Nobody in Impact is as bad, and in ROH only Brandi is as bad and she's only there because her last name is Rhodes.

RISE and IMPACT Wrestling are partnering up.

I have never even heard of Rise and I watch Stardom, Shine, and Shimmer.

That's what I hate. Becky looked like a joke. Bayley was made to look like a fool and all her credibility was destroyed because of that feud and she's just now getting respect back from fans. Sasha used to be the smartest chick in the room but now they make her look like a complete fool when in the same room with this chick. Asuka's offense looked awful in their match because of Bliss refusing to take legit bumps. And honestly i don't care how good her mic work is (though i honestly shrug most of the time. It's just fine to me), the fact that she's been either the champion or the number 1 contender since later 2016 on both shows is ridiculous.

Vince will FOREVER push the "blond haired, blue eyed beauty" to the moon over every other type. ALWAYS. (See: Flair, Charlotte).

They're only like 2 years old, started by a one of Shimmer's producers. They're a solid little company.
