*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[Athlai]

Raw-

Strowman vs. Brock - love it
Cena vs. Reigns - love it
Anbrose/Rollins vs. Hardyz vs. BAR - love it, great way to keep the real tags in until the revival get back, and until Rollins and ambrose inevitably fall apart, hopefully with a new mega heel in ambrose
Everything else is a bit iffy but 3 major cool storylines isn't bad

****ing love Strowman. Amazing the transformation he's gone through since becoming a singles competitor. Brock-Braun is going to be so good.

In a perfect world they would hold that match of until Mania. I assume he will lose to Brock now, it won't hurt him much, but a win over him would make him an absolute superstar.

It's at No Mercy, give the people shenanigans. DQs, count outs, interference whatever, Strowman vs. Lesnar deserves as big an audience as possible, give us blue balls and let Cena vs. Reigns trade the legit wins back and forth and have the other Shield guys tear it up in some long ass tag matches.

Miz's promo on RAW was so good haha. Dude is the best genuine heel WWE have.

 

[Athlai]

Roode called up is great, and there is something deeply amusing to me about Shelton Benjamin replacing Jason Jordan as Gable's tag partner. It's gun.

America's Greatest Alpha

 

[Athlai]

The World's Alpha-est Tag Team

 

[Mike5181]

Reusing the American Alpha story from NXT only with Shelton this time would work really well.

 

[Athlai]

I'd be ready, willing and... gable

Guy is seriously underrated. Now I want him to have his moment.

I am fantasy booking the **** out of the next ~18 months.

So yeah I ended up writing it out.

re Summerslam, the main event was fantastic, AJ/KO was gun. Tag match was amazing. Finn/Bray was above average. Everything else was pretty mediocre.

Enzo on 205.

It was speculated a bit by the likes of Meltzer and I can understand the logic. The show is dying on its arse, and Enzo is over and is somewhat of a star compared to pretty much everyone on the roster. Sucks to be the poor bastards who are going to wrestle him in singles matches though, this is afterall the workrate show

 

[Athlai]

205 Live being after Smackdown is sort of just a death time for it. It takes place after the main event of a more popular show.

Should just have it as an entirely separate thing or put it on tape delay or something and air it on Friday.

 

[Niall]

Its going to take a monumental effort to save it which is a shame as there clearly is talent on the roster. I dunno what I would do with it tbh, just think its wrestling overkill for so many.

At least it won't be plugged soon as that would be pretty humiliating for the likes of Trips etc.

 

[Athlai]

Should've made it the NJPW G1 show IMO. Make it a legit league, wins and losses matter.

Their flippy **** alone isn't enough to make them stand out, Rollins and AJ Styles can flippy **** with the best of them and they're main eventers.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Enzo is over

Is he anymore? I get he sells shirts to kids, but the split with Cass exposed him big time. He was booked like an absolute dweeb the whole fued, gave the same 25 minute promo every week before getting stomped in 5 seconds straight after. They killed a lot of what made him over IMO.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah Enzo should absolutely have lost the feud but he should have taken a massive almost inhuman beating before he gave up each time. Would serve to make Cass look like a massive prick, and would make Enzo the ultimate plucky underdog ala Spike Dudley.

Instead they just made him get kicked once each time and he was out.
