The Pro Wrestling Thread - No Gimmick Needed

[chronoxiong]

The crowd reaction for the new Reigns/Bryan feud has been weird. Lol. Sometimes they get booed, other times they are cheered. Reigns pops are not as loud for a guy who is going to main event Wrestlemania. I'm not sure what to make of this anymore. Poor Ziggler having to job to Bray Wyatt. Bray is not going to lose a match for a while. At least until WM 31. That HHH/Sting segment was kinda weird. I thought the crow noises were a little too much. I'm starting to like the tag team of Tyson Kidd and Cesaro. Let Kidd do all the talking and Cesaro can back it up with wrestling. That's a fact!

How about some NXT Takeover: Rival predictions

NXT CHampionship: Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens. I'm not really sure which way they're going here. On one hand I can't see them taking the belt off Sami this soon on the other hand they could go the "Dusty Rhodes booking" route and have Sami chase the title again extending their feud.

NXT Woman's title: Charlotte vs Sasha Banks vs Baley vs Becky Lynch. I can see either Sahsa or Baley getting the victory here. But Becky probably the one who's going to take the fall.

NXT Tag Team Title: Weasly Blake & Buddy Murphy vs The Lucha Dragons. Again I can't see them taking the belts of Blake and Murphy this soon after winning them. But after being tag team jobbers for most of last year They're going to have the have the performace of a life time to make people believe they deserve this chance.

#1 Contender tournament final: Adrian Neville vs Finn Balor. It's Finn time to shine he need to go over here.

NO DQ match: Baron Corbin vs Bull Murphy. This feels like the blow off to their feud to me and I think there's a bigger upside for Baron than Dempsy at this point so he's the one that should go over.

Tyler Breeze vs Hideo Itami. I see Hideo getting the win here. But I don't know if they're going to have Marcus Louis getting involved somehow to cost Breeze the match. But on a side not I hope they stop teasing it and have Hideo hit the Go to Sleep.

Balor vs. Neville is going to rock. But I am totally down with Steen vs. Zayn. ****... that **** is gonna be solid. I've been watching NXT since day 1 and right now it's at it's best.

After Rikishi will get inducted instead of Ray Stevens, rumor has it that Genichiro Tenryu would be inducted to this year's Hall of Fame. Also. [hide]Big Show turns face. Really?[/hide]

I`ve hated Tenryu and Kitao since the demise of Demolition. I hate them with a passion. WrestleManiA 7 doesn`t exist.

I`ve hated Tenryu and Kitao since the demise of Demolition.

Then how come he accomplished almost everything like IWGP Heavyweight Championship, NWA United National Championship and 4 5-Star matches between 1986 and 1989?

What does have to do with FK hating him?

Title switch via ref stoppage, gotta admit I didn't see that coming. Over all a another great special by NXT, the only other thing that surprised me was Charlotte taking the pin fall. But it does put a little more validity on Sasha's win since she beat the champ.

I could really care less about Tenryu's run with the WWE. What he accomplished in Japan is what makes him a legend. Wrestling for New Japan, All Japan and NOAH...being one of the few wrestlers to win both the Triple Crown and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. It was his promotion, WAR, that brought guys like Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio to Japan.

Meanwhile, in New Japan Pro Wrestling...The Bullet Club showing it's domination!

 

[Forever Knight]

Yeah it's only hate because how how they squashed Demolition. I'm a huge Demolition fan but whatever.

Awesome Bullet Club pic. I see Gallows joined now too.

How does one keep up with ROH and New Japan shows that air?
