The Wrestling Thread looks like Michael Biehn now

[Dark Sentinel]

Hitman!!

 

[TX85]

Bret Hart!

 

[TheIrishAvenger]

Bret!!

 

[The Sage]

I think he's a phenomenal all-around talent, actually I believe he's the all around greatest. But his strength is in the ring, on the mic I prefer Rock.

Shawn is strong in all areas. You should check his promos before and after his comeback.

Screw it I'd Rather see Punk or Bryan vs. Rock Not Cena vs. Rock again

I'm with you on that.

I'm sorry, but that was so great. I haven't enjoyed wrestling this much in a looooonnnnngggg time.

The nostalgia plays a good role, but they need to book segments as interesting as this on a daily basis.

Yep, and it should aid his mobility come the Rumble.

Agreed. Hopefully he'll be in better shape. If he is facing Punk, he'll need it.

Because he's getting no resistance to his routine, Bryan is selling his patter.

Definitely helps.

 

[LOBO3315a]

Here comes Rapeface!!!!

 

[Benstamania]

Punk could lead Rock to a 5 star match. I mean, look what he did with the Big Show last week.

 

[Superark]

Bryan is a perfect foil for The Rock as he's a heel with the ability to pull off that indignant comedic stuff.

I'm just so tired of Rock's schtick, but I also have admittedly never been the biggest Rock fan.

I hated that they made fun of Bryan's size. IMO, that is something you should never point out because for a lot of fans, size is an issue when you are expecting to take a heel seriously.

 

[The Sage]

This has been an entertaining RAW, but I hope they've got something planned for next week, as they won't have the nostalgia to carry the show.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Agreed. Hopefully he'll be in better shape. If he is facing Punk, he'll need it.

Looking at the fact he's getting the title shot at the Rumble I'd rather he faced Bryan as you know he's gonna win, then have Punk win the Rumble and face Rock for the title at Mania.

Definitely helps.

Rock's not a dueling mic guy, he has his routine and requires the guy to play along, he's not someone who adjusts well if the other guy ad libs.

I can't name many better...Vinny Mac? Austin? It's arguable.

I can think of several but Roddy Piper is the best mic worker ever IMO.

 

[The Apocalypse]

You seem way too offended that he trolled on DB.

TWO TOP TNA STARS MAY BE GONE IN A MONTH
by Mike Johnson @ 9:14 PM on 7/23/2012

Numerous TNA sources have confirmed that the contracts for TNA TV champion Devon and Bully Ray are set to expire in 4-5 weeks. The pair have been negotiating new contracts with the company but sources indicate that no real movement has been made towards signing the duo to new deals. Bully Ray is in the midst of his career resurgence after recreating himself following the Team 3D split. He's become one of the best heels in the business as well as one of the best talkers. Ray also works backstage as an agent for the company.

Devon, as TNA TV champion, has been working regularly with younger talents on the roster on both TV and house shows, helping a number of stars along the way, including Robbie E and Garett Bischoff.

It should be interesting to see where they each end up as they obviously could fill similar roles in WWE as veterans both backstage and inside the ring. Obviously, they have been important pieces of the TNA product since coming to the company in 2005, so it stands to reason that TNA wants to keep them as well.
We'll see whether they come to terms or move on in just a few weeks.

With the WWE'13 game being half Attitude Era..I sure hope NAO/X-Pac and Bret are on the Attitude roster or at least DLC!

I don't like The Rock either but this is how he's always been, his mic style is sort of a burial but he was more ready to give back in the ring than Triple H and Austin.

To be honest I never thought of Bryan's size with the LOTR's comments, it made me think more of his hairyness lol.

This has been an entertaining RAW, but I hope they've got something planned for next week, as they won't have the nostalgia to carry the show.

Exactly, no crutches next week. I will say that so far they have booked the legends and the overall show really well so far though.

 

[The Sage]

Punk could lead Rock to a 5 star match. I mean, look what he did with the Big Show last week.

That was a good match, I was surprised at the quality of it.

 

[Pink Ranger]

The extra hour will be filled with touts from creepy guys living in their parents' garage.

TNA would be foolish to let them go at this point.

Yeah, trolls in LOTR were kind of... Big.

Hope they make the conscious decision and not re-sign
