*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[sledger]

Should probably just do more of that sort of thing generally tbf. When done well it adds a lot, not just in terms of hype etc... but it also adds a feeling of legitimacy to it all for me.

Kind of like when JBL actually used to be good, and would actually commentate (novel concept I know) on the matches, rather than just talk ****. Kind of like Mauro is doing these days.

 

[sledger]

So, Reigns suspended for welness violations. That explains a few things.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah huge news that. Will he appear at Battleground which IS after the suspension ends?

Very interested to see if this gains any kind of "on screen" mention. Surely Ambrose and Rollins have to mention the elephant that has suddenly exited the room. He will also be absent for the draft when he was supposedly going to be the face of Raw.

 

[Spikey]

****ing lol

 

[sledger]

What is interesting, imo, is that he appeared on RAW after losing the title.

The cynic in me suggests he only dropped the belt because of the Wellness violation, but if that was the case why was he not suspended right of the bat? Allowing him to appear on RAW doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Anyway, the whole thing kind of works out well for the creative, because it means that Ambrose can face Rollins at Battleground, saving the Shield triple threat for Summerslam.

 

[Spikey]

I guess roman still hasn't lost cleanly...

 

[Spikey]

I can only think they didn't want Ambrose's reaction to be ****ed over by the crowd mocking Roman all night

also if the drug cheat still isn't turned heel...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wow

I don't think you're being cynical enough.

 

[Spikey]

The Michinoku driver onto the ladder resting on its side looked incredibly painful. Must have hurt like hell.

this is the third time, that i know of, that owens has done the spot. dude is nuts

 

[duffer]

So, Reigns suspended for welness violations.

Hahahahahahhaha.

 

[duffer]

But seriously, where to fro here? Is he still Vince's golden boy?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Don't think much will change. Orton violated the policy repeatedly and he was always close to main event leve. Reigns will always be in a top position, but yeah, whether he'll be the guy (cringe) is a little more doubtful now.

BTW, Reigns is suspended for 30 days for a wellness violation, while Titus got 60 for touching Vince's shoulder enthusiastically

Reigns got 30 days. Battleground is in 34 days.

 

[Pratters]

Haven't been able to sustain interest in WWE off late, with so much live sports on. The two rosters will only make it worse I guess, sigh.

 

[sledger]

Reigns got 30 days. Battleground is in 34 days.

Haha itstl. Surely they have to nix that.

I mean, not only will it make it difficult to build, but a guy coming back from a drugs ban (one which he has seemingly admitted to) to walk into a world title match on his first night back sends all kinds of negative messages.

 

[Spikey]

Equally, I don't see how they can back out of it given they produced what they did on Monday knowing that on Tuesday....

Roman might eat another pin though.

 

[duffer]

According to Meltz, WWE don't suspend for marijuana violations, just fine, so we can rule that out. Wonder what he did?

You find that cringe? It's the best line creative has ever given him.

Haha tell that to RVD and Sabu
