The Wrestling Thread Lured You In And Brought You Down! - Part 243

The weird thing about Orton is many of his good matches in recent years have been on weekly TV. Dude is weak on PPV/specials, and his blowoff matches are usually some of the worst throughout his career.
 
Dave Meltzer says the six month injury for Braun Strowman is a work. He will face Lesnar at Summerslam.
 
My hopes are for Jinder to dethrone Orton and then get booted in the face by Rusev. Won't happen, but I can dream, can't I?

Also now almost no reason to watch RAW outside Alexa.

Alexa: "If you're a failure say what!"
The crowd: "What?"
Alexa: "My point exactly!"

She's gonna have lower back problems. Bless her heart. 😍
 
Arn is so intimidating that Wright put himself in position for the DDT.
 
Alexa: "If you're a failure say what!"
The crowd: "What?"
Alexa: "My point exactly!"

The "what" chant is so overdone at this point by the fans. And half the time they fail miserably at trying to do it.
 
But the CM Punk chants still remain! As do the "yes" chants, although they only usually do that when Daniel Bryan comes out.
 
You Know What They Should Be Chanting? The Wrestling Thread's Name!
 
I like Becky's pewter outfit. I've noticed she's had a hard time nailing down a ring gear style that works for her, because of her somewhat unique look and colouring. This is a theme she could be carrying forward.

Huh. Oddly enough that is one of only 2 matches I'd stick around for involving Lesnar. Braun and Joe. Anyone else and I'm out of there.
 
the rumor I heard about WWE's interest in Crazzy Steve:

He hasn't signed yet due to paperwork and medicals. It has nothing to do with him having to wait 90 days.
 
Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Eva Marie will NOT be returning to Total Divas for season seven — and producers have been interviewing her potential replacements.

Multiple sources have confirmed that production is hard at work interviewing the female roster to determine the new cast member before filming begins next month.

We’re told Charlotte and a handful of others are among the women they’ve spoken with.

It’s unclear if Paige will continue to appear on the show, but our sources say original cast members Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Natalya and Naomi are a lock.

Eva was last seen on the show’s finale dealing with her Wellness violation suspension.

Could the “All Red Everything” era soon be over in WWE as well? Time will tell.

I can see Carmella on the show. She's the only one who makes sense. I don't know about Charlotte or Bayley. Sasha has said she's not interested. Alexa is engaged to Buddy Murphy, but they usually don't cast any of the women who have their significant others in NXT as it's either main roster or outside the business. I would automatically eliminate Becky from Total Divas because of her boyfriend.
 
I have no problem with Mahal becoming champion because Orton is terrible and he hasn't been a good or relevant main eventer in about eight years.
 
I'm okay with him getting the chance. I hope I can get past who he was and he really does some cool stuff because right now.....it's just weird I mean unless I've been missing all this great Jinder stuff because I stopped watching Main Event.

Where's all the good Orton stuff for the past eight years? Non-existent.

You flipping the subject to Orton, who I'm pretty critical of, doesn't exactly make a lot of sense. What do you expect me to do? Defend Orton or just be into Jinder's push because he's not Randy? I can actually name some fairly recent TV matches from Orton that are better than anything Mahal has done in his entire career on RAW, Smackdown, or NXT. but I really don't want to unless I have to do that.

I meant since the post-Mania shakeup. The show is really missing Wyatt, Alexa and Ambrose. Orton and Jinder are so boring.

I agree. Usually I'd want to rush home to see a ppv, but i got a shoot sunday and the only match I'm really interested in is KO vs AJ. The main event is one of the least interesting for me in a while.

Yeah, while orton is pretty boring and has become stale...mahal has never done anything really interesting to begin with.
Orton has proven that he can be interesting and that he is a good worker in the ring, its just that he doesnt seem to care most of the time currently.

Orton and Mahal in the current state, are both not the most interesting thing...mahal has simply the advantage of being "new"...not better.

Most people seem to not care who wins of those two from what i gather.
