Wrestling Formally Announces Its Intention Of Interfering In This Thread - Part 235

[Dr. Evil]

I don't mind the title change in the Women's Division. I like Alexa.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Ambrose please kill him. Love Bryan's rant.

The voice of reason and he ain't listening.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Taker vs. Styles.......would be interesting.

 

[SuperBatman]

Taker vs. Styles.......would be interesting.

As long as it doesn't set up Cena vs. Taker at WM.

 

[Slushy]

Miz and Bryan burying each other again. X D

Ellsworth just explained himself on Talking Smack. It is all about wanting to wrestle AJ. Dean is going to murder him.

I just looked this guy up, WTF?

Ellsworth? He is basically there to be the buffer for AJ and Dean. It has been both fun and stupid. But this next bit should be great.

Is he even a wrestler? It sounds like some kind of reworking of the Eugene nonsense from a decade ago.

He was an Indy wrestler from the Northeast, competed in CZW.

Yeah he is. He was actually a local jobber who Strowman destroyed a while back.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Also Tajiri needs to be in NXT so that he can reunite with Regal on screen.

The Zandig CZW?

Yeah he is. He was actually a local jobber who Strowman destroyed a while back.

Strowman is the big guy that looks like One Man Gang crossed with Bray Wyatt?

I actually did watch 3 matches last night, first Ive watched since the Brock/Rollins/Cena triple threat at the Royal Rumble in 2014. Back then I said Sasha Banks was the 2nd best worker in the company and she is even better now, she's like a cross between HBK and Angle.

Yeah, that is him.

I love Sasha too. The only problem is, she is a bit reckless with her own body. Too many dangerously blown spots.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The Zandig CZW?

A decade ago yes under the name Jimmy Dream. He tagged teamed with Drew Gulak at CZW Tournament of Death V. It was back when I was watching CZW via it's "war with ROH a decade ago."

 

[Slushy]

Too many crowd shots tonight. It was distracting.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I think the title match between Ellsworth and Styles will end with a count-out when we hear gong sounds.

And I think a lot of us will mark out when Taker chokeslams Ellsworth.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yeah, that is him.

I love Sasha too. The only problem is, she is a bit reckless with her own body. Too many dangerously blown spots.

She didn't blow any spots in the 2 matches of hers I watched last night, but she definitely wrestles on the outer limit like Shawn, Angle and Bryan. I could never see myself watching WWE again unless the impossible happened, but Sasha being women's Champion and headlining Raw with that awesome match with Charlotte means they are at least doing one thing right.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Wait........Hunter saying something positive about the current WWE product?

Did hell freeze over?

Anyway, the chances of Ellsworth heading into the Rumble as World Champion is at 0%. Styles will remain the champion after Tuesday.

Yeah, she has had a pretty good stretch, after being really botchy with Charlotte the last two months. She actually hurt her back at Summerslan and at HIAC, the tables wouldn't corporate.

Have you seen any of AJ or Owens work recently? They have been doing the business. Also Jericho is hilarious. Also I would suggest the big 5 on 5 Survivor Series match. The first one I can remember that was truly great.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Enjoying The List of Jericho bit.

 

[Slushy]

P.S. I marked out.

Glad to hear Alexa is the champ now. Now just pair her up with a "bodyguard" and give her a nice run.

Ambrose is probably going to destroy Ellsworth for about a month or so. Besides, I'm sure he'll get the belt back, but it'll be after someone takes it off Styles.

The Bray Wyatt/Randy Orton combo is starting to grow on me. Maybe I'm just happy to see heel Randy.

Miz keeping the title doesn't bother me. The lack of challengers does.

 

[chamber-music]

Why Ellsworth, why?!

He did it for the rock

P.S. I marked out.

A Ryder v Hawkins feud is the only way you might get anyone to care about Hawkins.

TLC was alright. By far the standout performance came from AJ Styles, who continues to be a joy as World Champion and who once again got a cracking match out of Dean Ambrose. I might even say Styles has given Ambrose the best matches of his WWE career.

By now, WWE surely see what they have in Styles: someone who is able to do just about anything and adapt to anything they might want from him, shine against any opponent and make them shine. He goes up against Roman Reigns and has matches so cracking they actually put some gas back in Reigns' tank when he was running on total empty post-Mania (for a little while, at least, it's running low again). Styles brought out that monster bully heel quality in Reigns that would help him get legit over as a top-tier talent rather than the babyface WWE want to shove down fans' throats... making it all the more perplexing that WWE watched those matches and thought, "Yep, Styles is the guy out of these two who ought to turn heel."

But then Styles took to the heel role like a duck to water, and showed that as well as being amazing in the ring he has upped his promo game to be one of the better talkers on the roster. He can do serious fire on the mic, and he can do goofy comedy shtick that's actually funny when required. Then they put him against John Cena and Styles showed he can totally pull off that "Big Match John" WWE main event style.

And while he hasn't perhaps had the best use since being champion, he's still excelled with what he's been given. He actually made people care for and sympathise with a one-note joke character in James Ellsworth. And like I say, he's brought the best out of Dean Ambrose. If the rumours are true and he's gonna face The Undertaker at the Royal Rumble, that could be the final test. If Styles can show he can also get entertaining "special attraction" matches out of part-timers and non-wrestlers, he truly is the man who can do everything. All this and he's widely regarded as a nice guy, popular backstage, with no issues making him difficult to work with. He's surely guaranteed top spots on the big cards for as long as he can go and wants them.
