*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

But it has. And I've not enjoyed the reign as much as I thought I would. Neither have you. Just admit it.

I've loved every minute of Seth's reign, he's been the best heel champ in many years (I don't count Brock in that as he's a special case)

 

[Jono]

He didn't want to win anyway. Dude said he was ok if he even lost in 10 minutes. Just wanted to main event.

Can understand his frustration too. Even during his long title run, he never really got the ME spotlight as much as a long reigning champ should.

Right or wrong it was a huge wahh.

Holy ****. What is Ken Shamrock taking? He's 51 and looks like this:

The same thing Lex Luger stopped taking probably.

 

[Jono]

Hey, leave the Lex Express alone.

 

[duffer]

Yeah seriously there are 2-4 people every year who Main Event at Mania. It's seriously hard to crack and I'm not sure he was over enough to justify the anger? (someone clarify, I missed his whole career)

 

[Jono]

haha I missed his career too. wish I didn't, he sounds awesome and the type of wrestler I'd love.

Wow really I had no idea. I hear Bret loves him too.

I missed all of CM Punk's career. He literally started as I stopped watching.

The way Bret Hart speaks of him, I missed an absolute great wrestler.

So obvious he's the kind of guy I'd have loved. No wonder Bret is a huge fan.

Make no mistake, its weird that you bothered to search for those posts btw

 

[OverratedSanity]

Easy peasy. Jono+Punk+Bret. Took 2 minutes.

 

[Jono]

surprised you didn't make a Steiner vs. Lex post

 

[GIMH]

Who knew that Jono didn't watch wrestling anymore

Punk was well over, not as over as Bryan was at the time of WMXXX (or indeed is now) but what you have to consider is that both Mania main events when Punk was at that level were Rock-Cena so ya gotta get over it really

I mean he'll argue he should have been in that spot when Miz was but am sure plenty of others would too.

 

[sledger]

Typical Jono.

I dunno, I'd find it a bit hard to get over losing out on headlining WM because the headline got booked a year in advance and was billed as once in a lifetime, and then the next WM they decided to repeat it (coz Cena's gotta win the final match of the feud. oh hi kevin owens and rusev), which also meant you had to forfeit the belt and instead lose to Taker instead.

Mania is about making money not being nice to the wrestlers though.

I mean the whole once in a lifetime thing sure, but Cena really needed that win back (IMO)

And he'd had the belt for 500 days. That in itself is incredible. Losing to taker at Mania should be an honour for any wrestler.

EDIT - granted though, they didn't have to do Rock-Cena II at Mania, and Cena-Punk had some unfinished business too.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, no way did Punk get a bad deal out of that whole chain of events.

well then Cena could have had the honour *mic drop*

Well I've said never doing Cena-Taker at Mania (or in any format since Cena became a star) is a big miss by WWE. I've said it almost as many times as Jono has said he stopped watching wrestling in 2006

 

[sledger]

Yeah. Would have loved to have seen that.

Shame they never did Jericho v Undertaker either. Don't recall them ever having a 1 v1 match on a PPV.

 

[Jono]

Typical Jono.
