*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

Also I guess this was filmed a while back, as Jericho shaved his head bald last week.

Nah, it's current, they must've used an archived photo.

 

[Jono]

Yeah, I like Jericho a lot, but from listening to his podcast previously I too have got the impression that he is still very much part of the machine. Mind you, I always suspected that about Austin until his interview with HHH, so I guess we will see.

Did you hear Austin's interview with Vince? Asked him some tough questions too I thought.

Yeah, I did. Don't remember it that well though. At the time they struck me as tough questions, but the kind that had probably been vetted prior to the show, so that Vince could go on a PR offensive. Some of the issues that were discussed simply couldn't have been avoided if the show was to be taken seriously (re: Punk etc...). Could be wrong though, as I say, I don't remember that much.

 

[Jono]

Jericho just mentioned Funaki !!!

 

[Shri]

Not sure how long it'll be up there though.

You are doing god's work. Thanks.

 

[duffer]

Cena: Why don't I turn heel? You guys boo me anyway.

Heh.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jericho just mentioned Funaki !!!

Yeah he's always been a massive Funaki fanboy.

 

[Shri]

On the podcast:

Cena: "I am very focused on getting into Chyna."

Vince: "Goddamnit!"

 

[Jono]

Yeah he's always been a massive Funaki fanboy.

Indeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

 

[Jono]

Chuck Palumbo freestyle rapping sounds ridiculously bad.

 

[sledger]

Isn't Stone Cold a really good friend of Funaki irl as well? I remember reading some story about how Austin used to take Funaki out on his ranch or something.

 

[GIMH]

That was decent. Cena gives the company line but he says some interesting and well thought out things. The stuff about the kids is spot on, a lot of people (like Jono) grow up and forget they were wrestling fans as a kid and all of a sudden think it should only cater to adults. Kids LOVE Cena and until someone can fill that void he's not going to go away.

 

[sledger]

I like his defend the title every week thing too. Should be just another way to add credibility to the title. Should allow for a good variety of decent matches. Hope they allow some NXT guys the chance to challenge him once in a while.

 

[Mike5181]

I really enjoyed that RAW. Giving Cena the US title is the best thing they have done with his character in years. Hopefully he gets quite a long reign before ideally someone like Kevin Owens comes up from NXT and beats him.

you know damn well i haven't grown up one bit.

Is there any hope that a WWE show will ever get rid of the PG rating? It would be gun if at least one show was targeted at adults and the other(s) for children?

 

[duffer]

Solo laying the smackdown on Vince for an hour.

Can't see that they would. Vince only changed for Attitude because they were at war after all. It was always PG before then.

 

[Pratters]

Raw was pretty good. Lots of matches. The tag match was a good watch, as was the Miz match.

 

[Pratters]

Does any one here watch TNA even if on and off? It keeps coming on tv. I find the matches go on and on and are a bit one dimensional at times..
