The Wrestling Thread: Woo woo woo, you know it!

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Well the gimmick worked because it got a reaction out of you.

Maybe, but that reaction was typically fast forward to the next segment, or get up and take a bathroom break and get something to eat.

 

[NDX]

But you didn't turn your TV off.

 

[bullets]

I doubt they'll release Chavo. Maybe if they brought back the Cruiserweight/Light Heavyweight title, he'd have something to do.

I'm all for that idea . They should move Bourne over to Smackdown and headline that division. I'm hoping Tyson Kidd doesn't get endeavored . I was expecting him to be a break out star eventually.

Punks entire "I dont do drugs so that means im better than Jeff hardy / better than you, oh by the way im gonna shave someone head to prove it while I look like a homes jesus" did nothing for me. I didn't really feel any substance from it, it wasnt entertaining, it was just obnoxious. At least when right to censor did the same bit it was a parody and not meant to be taken seriously.

Fair enough, I wasn't a big fan of the whole christ like savior thing myself. Though i still think his best work has been as a heel. Has he mentioned that his father was an alcoholic?

 

[venom892]

Never has during his WWE run.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Well, at least he got a thread named after he before he likely gets canned after Wrestlemania. Besides him, I'd say these people probably have the most to worry about for their jobs:

Chavo
Chris Masters
Curt Hawkins
David Hart Smith
The Usos
JTG
Primo
Rosa Mendes
Trent Baretta
Tyler Reks
Tyson Kidd
Yoshi Tatsu
And maybe a few of the Nexus guys that didn't really work, like Husky Harris, Michael Tarver, and Skip Sheffield.

I'd add Kaitlyn to the list. Chavo could be of more value as a trainer in developmental.

at Yoshi as a possibility. I shall miss this:

Apparently WWE JUST copyrighted the name Tyson Kidd. That tells me that they might be looking to prevent someone from using it on the indie circuit, if you know what I'm saying. Either that, or they just forgot until now.

Regarding Awesome Kong...a rumor I heard was that Michael Cole will be winning the Divas title shortly after Wrestlemania. What better way to debut Kong than have her come out after Cole issues an open challenge to any Diva for his title, and have her crush him???

 

[Nemi]

Yeah little things like that make the character much more interesting.

 

[RetroNaz]

Tyson Kidd could make for a pretty good heel IC/US champion. I just don't like his look.

A glorious idea!

I didn't know that no.

I would agree that his best work has been as a heel, but I would say it's his current work that he's doing. His current work is brilliant. The whole thing he did with Cena, taking over Nexus, and everything with Orton.

His SES heel gimmick I hated. When I first got back into WWE and he was the scrappy face, I was into it. And I'm really into it now. Just not that damn straight edge stuff.

Would rather see the whole match to gauge how he was overall. Good crowd reaction, though.

I just think his silly hairstyle is kind of bush league gimmick stuff.

That would be an awesome debut for Kong.

Yea this was on wrestlezone ...I tried to find the full match but had no luck

 

[Wheels]

I want to see Sin Cara vs Bryan.

I think it could be this generation's Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask.

I think these people might be OK.

So no wonder Morrison no longer uses his Backflip Rock Bottom...they let Sin Cara Uuse it off the Top Rope

 

[NDX]

I never liked the C4, standing or top rope. I find it more believable as the tag team move the Spanish Fly by the SAT. There I can buy 2 guys doing a back flip and pulling someone else with them. Any other time, I just know the person being slammed is doing just as much work as his opponent to get flipped over.

Exactly.

It's outright silly, like the Canadian Piledriver. I even heard Teddy Hart has a double-underhook version of it that he uses and it makes me go...

 

[RetroNaz]

A lot of wrestling finishers/moves are just plain dumb though.

It's all about the flash

 

[Wylie Times]

The biggest problem with the Canadian Destroyer was how it was set up. Petey and others set it up like a power bomb, it'd be more believable if they came running off the ropes to do it:

When it's done that way at least it looks like momentum is used to do most of it.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Hunter, I dont hate quality matches. I just dont see someone who's not Daniel Bryan, hbk, or Bret hart and say he can't work. Miz might not be a master technician in the ring, but he's not so poor that good character can't overcome it. And his in ring work is very fitting for his character. I dont think miz is as poor in ring as you do. And knowing that its a work, and its scripted, and the outcomes and many spots predetermined, I dont put as much stock into the in ring work as I do the guys being able to convincingly carry a story

The match is meant to be a story as well, the art of being a good pro wrestler is you enable the audience to suspend their disbelief and get swept away in the drama, Miz is a by the numbers worker with some decent psychology, but far removed from being a genuine main event worker.
