The Wrestling Thread was not an extra in The Hobbit - Part 102

[Van Petrol]

Punk will take fans like us. Adults who watch all the shows, and sometimes pay for PPVs, sometimes they don't (but watch it anyways).

Bryan takes fans like us, but I can tell that kids like him too. Kids who bring with them parents and siblings, and pester their parents over which T-shirt to buy, which PPV to buy, etc. etc. Much more dangerous double-edged sword there if the WWE loses him.

Yeah, I can understand that. You can hear the kids chanting for Bryan at events aswell now.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Lol, Kaitlyn looks like a shredded Angelina Jolie.

 

[Hotwire]

Wow! Natalya is actually in a match!

 

[LOBO3315a]

Lol, Kaitlyn looks like a shredded Angelina Jolie.

Watching her skipping and dressed up by AJ is quite enticing.........


Now if they would just kiss.....

 

[Van Petrol]

Hunter, Look! (Ricardo's hat)...

 

[Dr. Manhatten]

I don't think any wrestler is big enough to take fans away from the WWE and transport them to TNA. The trend is that if a high profile guy goes to TNA there's a brief ratings bump, then it goes right back to where it was

 

[Hotwire]

When is the Wyatt family supposed to debut?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Hunter, Look! (Ricardo's hat)...

Spoiler

I approve.

I remember meeting Doink at a convention in Atlanta during WrestleMania 27 weekend and talking with him on Facebook a few times. Really great guy with a great sense of humor. So sad to hear.

And Vince Mcmahon's dated mentality does not disappoint: http://m.wrestlezone.com/news/27449...moneyq-or-drawing-potential-in-a-top-wwe-star



Does Vince not hear the reactions he's gotten from the crowd?!

Must we go down the list of people Vince more than likely felt this way about:

Shawn Michaels

Chris Jericho

Randy Savage

Rey Mysterio

Eddie Guerrero

CM Punk

Mick Foley

Bret Hart

Stone Cold

Edge

None of those guys had the traditional Vince Mcmahon champion look and they were assets to the company as Main eventers.

I said this earlier and I pray that the Divas Reality Show doesn't play a role in the upcoming Cena/Bryan program. All of these guys got over by themselves because of their in-ring ability, mic skills, and/or interaction with the crowd.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Impact was solid, it's certainly going to be interesting to see how the angle with Aries plays out, it could just be that TNA felt they needed a bigger name than Sabin to face Bully at Destination X, but it could be a case of switching direction for the title match at BFG.

Mickie vs Velvet was a good match except for the fact Velvet completely forgot to sell her leg after Mickie worked on it.

I have no idea what the Storm and co promo segment was meant to achieve bar insulting Tara.

The Gut-Check match between Batista lite and Van Hammer redux was reasonable, I actually thought the big man worked pretty well with good timing and mobility in his offense and selling.

Magnus vs Roode was the best match on the show, I am curious as to what they are doing with Roode, two clean jobs in a row, I wonder if he only signed a short term contract when that issue popped up a few months ago.

I thought Angle's promo was good and Joe joing the MEM may position him to go for the title if they decide on a different option to AJ at BFG and if they keep the belt on Bully, who is still delivering on the mic but getting very little help from the booking.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I really enjoyed SD, Sheamus vs Sandow was a great opener and even though he lost I actually think the nature of the match gave Sandow a boost.

Kane vs Orton was good but kind of overshadowed by all of the focus on Bryan at ringside, the finish did make me concerned that they are edging towards a Bryan heel turn though.

Kaityln's attempt to reverse the AJ segment from Raw came off really weak despite AJ selling it like it was the biggest insult she'd ever received.

I still can't buy Miz as a face but I like the simple build of this IC title feud between him and Axel, there was something very reminiscent of an old Prime Time Wrestling segment about the MIZ TV showdown between the two.

The Shield vs Christian & The Usos was flat out fun and I think the right team won just like when Bryan tapped Rollins out for their first defeat. They have had 8 months undefeated, Bryan got great momentum off the win. Christian is just back and the Usos are now getting some spotlight and this win gave all three momentum, Christian pinning Ambrose I suspect will lead to the 2 wrestling for the US title at Summerslam.

The loss didn't hurt The Shield, it gave a rub to 3 faces who needed it, and that speaks of how well The Shield have been booked.

The final segment was one we've seen many times before, the celebration reworking of the classic Flair/Steamboat segment from 89 that Dusty booked. It's tried and tested I guess and built solid momentum for Dolph's face push.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Michaels also says that the wrestler in question was is about 6'3 250 pounds..I wonder who that could be

Where is Shawn saying all of this? Something to keep in mind is the newz sites have a tendency to stitch together stories from fragments of info they get.

Punk's been on that show back in his ECW days, cool to see he's still interested now he's a big star.

Hunter, Look! (Ricardo's hat)...

I knew there was a reason he was more over.

The Gut-Check match between Batista lite and Van Hammer redux was reasonable, I actually thought the big man worked pretty well with good timing and mobility in his offense and selling.

Glad I'm not the only one who saw potential in that big dude. Moved pretty well and hand some good, solid moves. Impressive for someone in the biz for only 2 years.

Magnus vs Roode was the best match on the show, I am curious as to what they are doing with Roode, two clean jobs in a row, I wonder if he only signed a short term contract when that issue popped up a few months ago.

With Roode, he can lose and not lose any momentum, I feel. He's been there a long time, and having Magnus go over clean was the right decision there. The BFG Series is a long one, I expect they could use this in the future to eventually beat these 2 on the way to winning it all over again. Lot of potential stories to come out of this.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

The BFG is the best thing TNA has right now. Their best concept ever that's for sure.

 

[NDX]

As much as I hate Randals, he had a hell of a match with Kane tonight. Glad I watched that.

Kaitlyn looked damn good as AJ tonight. Better than she does as herself.

At first, I thought that was HHH as AJ.

That's only something he does for Stephanie in private.

Hunter, Look! (Ricardo's hat)...

Ricardo looks like some fan ADR met on the street.

 

[NDX]

Most impressive thing Ryback's ever done was sell that leg injury. Like how he went down after rolling out of the ring and landing on it.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

That's only something he does for Stephanie in private.

Then who would have the penis?

 

[LOBO3315a]

I was thinking the same thing.

Then who would have the penis?

Vince.

 

[Van Petrol]

[NDX]

Nice 6 man tag. I'm glad I stuck around for SD tonight. Still think the Usos are one step away from wrestling barefoot in a few months.

Still, glad to see the group get the one up on the Shield, especially with that ending. That helo by Rollins was sick.

 

[NDX]

Where the hell are my subtitles?!

 

[TheNextNolan22]

It was definitely a fan Tag Match, but I'm still confused about why The Shield lost. Didn't hurt, just don't get the point of it. The Bryan/Orton/Kane victory I get because of storyline purposes.
