*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

Apparently Styles refused to lose to Lesnar at SS, fair enough really. It was a 370+ day title reign and he lost to Lesnar at the previous SS. If this was Lesnar big leaguing him then it's absolutely piss poor. Could've had Drew or Strowman interfere to "protect" Lesnar. WWE is waaaaay too afraid to give people clean losses, and should absolutely **** on people that do that sort of crap.

I'd like to think my argument years ago against Lesnar is looking fair now

Lame way to end the reign. But as long as we get to see RoH Brian Danielson and not weak, chickenshit heel Bryan, I'm in.

Nia Jax has one of the worst characters on the show, is a total charisma vacuumn, is a poor worker, particularly because as she is the largest female, they want her to be the "power" style character, and I think a lot of the smaller woman are stronger than she is. It's a farce that she keeps getting put into the title scene

I vaguely remember seeing her almost break Charlotte's neck once. She seems legitimately too clumsy and unsafe to be in the ring with.

Some of her "classics" their.

Nia is really sloppy in the ring and has hurt people before. The concern is has she any interest in getting better or any self awareness?

She has a unique look and related to the Rock so I fear its a no on the above.

Tamina is also trash who has never ever been worth a damn, but at least she is relatively safe in the ring.

Shame they had to turn Bryan, but its proof they can't book anyone as a face anymore.

I wonder if they see Bryan in the same vain as their part-timers which would be a real turnaround after the whole Bootista stuff.

 

[Athlai]

Of course they do, Bryan is someone who would jump ship in a minute if WWE undervalue him. Could you imagine anyone else objecting to going to the Saudi Arabia tour and getting the wwe title a few weeks later? Only the likes of Cena, Lesnar and now DBry.

It seems weird though given the struggle for him to become champion and he now has this position not too long after.

He's a likable and extremely successful underdog. Theres almost always money in a title chase.

I suspect Daniel Bryan isn't the sort of bloke that demands to be on the top of the card either.

AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan are the **** but I struggle to care at all with the output of mediocre ppv matches, tbh.

Still can't believe David Arquette wrestled an actual deathmatch and then shot on Nick Gage wrestling is lit.

Was it a full-blown barbed wire and burning tables thing?

Jericho suggests that Nia Jax purposely did a stiff shot on Lynch. Few people would get off scott-free with that, but she has that family...

Nobody does that hillbilly **** anymore, these days its all about light-tubes, barbed wire/cleaver boards and syringes.

There was lots of light-tubes in this match, including the ending where Arquette got cut open badly in the jugular area, freaked out, tried to leave then smashed a chair into the face of Gage, no-sold the finish and mouthed off at Gage, a two time convicted felon.

What did he expect when entering that sort of match?

Probably to not get shanked across the jugular, which is fair enough imo.

Sorry, my eyes must have scanned over that bit. Yeah, that is a bit extreme, even for the sort stuff which goes on in those matches.

Massive props to Arquette. Seems to be throwing his heart and soul at wrestling lately

 

[Athlai]

Another great Takeover. Women's match was okay, not their best. Io with a hell of a moonsault and looking forward to the MMA women vs NXT women in a tag match.

The other three matches were all ****ing great.

 

[Dan]

This show is...not good so far.

Rollins/Nakamura was good, and Murphy/Ali was a great showcase for 205.

Yeah total disaster outside those matches.

A couple cool spots in the survivor series matches but easily the worst in years on those fronts. Balor kicking Drew in the face looked cool as ****.
