*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[sledger]

About 18 months ago I made a post in here saying how I just don't have the stomach for deathmatch wrestling but here we are.

I still can't stand when they bust out the syringes though. Or every time someone retweets the weed-wacker spot from CZW ToD '02.

I honestly didn't even know that was a thing. It's actually kind of disgusting.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, syringes are a bad one for me. Death match wrestling generally sickens me which is weird given some strong style wrestling (especially the likes of Misawa, Kobashi etc) could actually be more dangerous in terms of long term damage.

Yeah, headbutts are another thing I really hate as well tbh.

Not so much the Benoit style diving headbutt etc. But the kind where you can actually hear the dull thud of skull on skull contact. Just no.

Hell, the PCO outside powerbomb spot was almost too much for me.

lol Archibald Peck got fired as a writer because a HOF segment mentioned vince's name. what a world

So, uhh, apparently Dijakovic posted a very White Nationalist tweet that kinda-sorta called for ethnic cleansing (almost certainly in character, but still).

Just because his ring name has '-kovic' in it doesn't mean you have to go full bloodthirsty Eastern European neo-Nazi sympathiser ffs.

Stay classy, WWE.

 

[Athlai]

But that's why his name has Kovic in it.

Personally im all for a euro trash supremacist character.

Toughest photo to come out of Mania weekend.

Well, except maybe any of the photos of the scissors lodged in Jimmy Lloyd's chest.

it's weird because they already have Lars who can do it

HHH thinking in bringing in War Machine to NXT:

Vince will never like the War Machine name. They're two hairy dudes who look like vikings, why not do a little twist on it and call them WAR RAIDERS.

Fans:

War Machine was better, War Raiders sounds lame. But whatever, Hanson and Rowe are great, we'll give them a chance.

Vince:

Wow, these viking guys are great! I want them on the main roster. But no one will understand the War Raiders name. I know lets repackage them.

The Viking Experience and they'll need viking names too damn it. Ivar and Erik!

Fans:

What. The. ****.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The idea of Vince having any idea who anyone on NXT is

 

[Athlai]

The idea of Vince having any idea who anyone on NXT is

He watches and attends the Takeovers. Which is why he saw some big viking blokes and immediately shot his load

 

[sledger]

Ivar and Erik is some **** straight out of the gimmicky 80s/90s days. Thought Athlai was joking when I first read his post, but I guess I should have known better.

 

[Mike5181]

The Viking Experience is just about the most Vince name ever.

So the Shakeup is over. I don't know what it is about Raw but seeing Finn and Roman on Smackdown just gives me more hope that they will be presented in a better manner. Raw always has the feel that no one is the real top guy except Lesnar.

I like that Gable is back on Smackdown. I love me some Gable.

Also, kudos to Seth. I know Roman is the chosen one but Seth definitely has been the MVP from the Shield. Is anyone as constantly over as he is in WWE? Except probably DBry.

 

[andmark]

I remember the IWC being crazy about Ambrose just before the Shield debuted. I can't help but feel he's not lived up to the hype and was probably the weakest of the Shield.

 

[duffer]

He's thoroughly mediocre as a face. Thought the deranged lunatic heel could've been his calling but by all accounts his turn and feud with Seth fizzled out quickly. Oh well, not everyone can make it.

 

[Bahseph]

It's amazing how good the Shield was and still is imo. All three guys are legit maineventers who can put on good matches. I think what hurts Ambrose the most and its probably what's caused him to leave is that he isn't cut from the Seth or Roman cloth. They want him to do comedy and he wants to be a serious character.

 

[sledger]

Ambrose just isn't main event level. I like him, but no.

The new Test.

 

[Athlai]

Ambrose was good when he was the kingpin of Smackdown, feuding with Styles. Doing the Ellsworth stuff. Talking Smack days.

But he was still more or less just an upper mid card psuedo comedy character. Styles was the real maineventer.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Dean go to FREEDOMS.
