The Pro Wrestling Thread - No Gimmick Needed

[KamenRiderAzrael]

First match of the Shield: an SVR06-09 TLC match, Second match: HCTP 6-Man Tag Team Elimination Chamber Match. What's next, an Armaggedon Hell in a Cell match? Seriously, all their matches are gimmick matches from the games.

RAW "LIKES"
-Good promo by CM Punk in the opener. I guess now that Brock is back, he cant be with Heyman or something. Weird.

-Jack Swagger looking strong against Santino.

-Daniel Bryan/Rey Misterio match was decent. These two should feud with each other instead of have throwaway matches. Wow, Mark "Ratings" Henry is back! We are seeing a lot of returns in these few weeks. Glad he's back to being a monster heel.

-I thought Brock Lesnar was going to destroy Miz in the MizTV segment. But he did do some good damage on Miz. Such huge strength by Lesnar for throwing those sofas like it's nothing.

-Bruno Sammartino going into the HoF! Thank you Triple H for making it happen.

-Match of the night goes to Punk/Jericho. Thought Jericho was going to win it but Punk needed it more to continue to look strong. Strange to see these two reverse roles since their feud from last year.

"DISLIKES"
-Booker T. made the list of Botchamaina with his botches on the opening segment. Lol...

-Both US and Intercontinental Champions lost cleanly to their opponents. What a way to make your Champions look strong or should I say weak.

-Cody Rhodes being fed to ADR. Also dread the ADR/Big Show feud still going on. I'm tired of rematches.

-The ending was very anti-climatic. Cena, Sheamus and Ryback coming out to attack The Shield was cool but I thought there was going to be more. Still don't understand Brad Maddox's role either. Overall, this show was average.

Yeah, I thought Bryan/Mysterio, Lesnar in Miz TV, and Jericho/Punk made up for all the show's faults, but Big Show's segments are just too damn predictable which makes it suck. WWE could really do well without Big Show imho.

Was the Rock even there on Monday...? Sigh... I love the Rock to death for all he did during the Attitude Era, but this is exactly why I didn't want him a champion.

Even though if found Punk "days as champion" counter very annoying, at least he was there every week even when he was injured (that injury was legit, right?). That said, he whole "I'm still the champion" shtick just come off as sad to me.

Other than the Punk VS Y2J fight.. Raw was boring this week IMO :redface2:

Hey, Lesnar throwing that stool at The Miz was very funny. :laugh:

 

[Mr. Underachiever]

I'm gonna go ahead and assume Atlanta is still salty over WCW because that crowd was DEAD last night.

Couldn't even get a decent "Cena sucks!" chant going.

I love The Miz. I can't stand Lesnar. I was hoping he would stay gone.

When it comes to the Rock, he's only on Raw when his schedule lets him. Last month, he was there every Monday. However Vince thinks that putting the belt on him was good for business, since the Rock would be able to plug the WWE through mainstream media, until Wrestlmania.

The Shield is the most badass stable in a LONG time.

Why were Kane and Bryan standing side-by-side after Bryan screwed Kane in his match earlier? I guess they made up when the cameras weren't on

I like The Shield, but they really need a televised match. These guys are talented but it's hard to tell since they just swoop in, beat people up, and leave. They showed up at Survivor Series in November and they've had one match...and it was on PPV.
