The Pro Wrestling Thread - No Gimmick Needed

[chronoxiong]

I have no problem with KENTA's name change into Hideo Itami. The WWE needs to have their own trademark name so it makes sense. I hope he continues to get better with his English so he can have a successful career in the WWE. His little promo was okay. At least the NXT fans seemed to be into him.

Awesome tag title match @ Takeover 2. LU-CHA! LU-CHA!

I can't wait till they drop his first name when he's in the main roaster.:redface2:

The Kenta segment was fucking awesome!!! Totally owned The Ascension. I was shocked, WWE might be actually serious about this Japanese star and not turn him into another Yoshi Tatsu.

Itami vs Cesaro vs Rusev vs Big E in a "What were their original first names" Match! :castlerock:

Itami vs Cesaro vs Rusev vs Big E in a "What were their original first names" Match! :castlerock:

If Russo was still with E, he would've made it 'First name on a stick' match

Night of Champions kickoff won't feature a match. Instead, it'll be a Peep Show segment with Chris Jericho as Christian's guest.

RAW "LIKES"
+ Jericho/Kane was a very lengthy match. Kane is just a glorified jobber now.
+ I enjoyed everything from the Cena/Heyman promo to Cena and Lesnar brawling. About time Lesnar takes some hits and bumps on RAW. Cena looking strong likely means something else on Sunday.
+ Swagger/Bo Dallas was a decent match. Glad Zeb is back.
+ Fun tag team match between Sheamus and Usos vs Cesaro and the Rhodes brothers. There were some good spots here.

"DISLIKES"
-Nikki and Paige vs Brie and AJ was so quick. Don't remember anything from it. Something is off with AJ lately. Not sure is she has lost interest or not.
-Big Slow/Bray Wyatt match was slow. Not to mention Big Slow double choke slamming Rowan and Harper later.
-What do both Eva Marie and Cameron have in common? They suck. Cameron looked horrible against Naomi in their match.
-R-Truth is Dolph Ziggler's stunt double? And since when did Jerry Lawler started to mark for The Miz on commentary?
-Super Reigns vs Rollins. This match was decent but why was it given away on TV? I hope Reigns winning means Rollins is going over on Sunday in the rematch.
-Henry/Rusev promo to end the show. Why? Is this the 1980's again? This is just too much. This feud screams Vince McMahon booking. I lost interest and just wanted it to hurry up and end. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait until the day Triple H takes over. Below average show overall.

Once the Swagger face turn fails I see him joining Rusev as a Russian sympahtizer and turning on Zeb.

I won't be surprised when this would happen if only Warner Bros. would ditch Machinma for Vince's company.
