The Pro Wrestling Thread - No Gimmick Needed

[chronoxiong]

Looks like most of my predictions were spot on. I liked that Kevin Owens won the IC Title because he's entertaining and he can talk. Ryback's promos have felt awkward lately. Glad The New Day retained their Titles through disqualification because I feel the Dudley Boyz should not be Tag Champs so soon already. Chris Jericho being the mystery partner was cool. Although I wonder if this is a one-off appearance or another return. Figured Charlotte was going to win the Divas Title even though I feel this was rushed. Oh well. Cena/Rollins was not as good as their previous encounter but glad Cena won the Title again. I missed his open US Title challenges. And yeah, about Sting, he looked bad out there. That Spanish announce table spot looked like it had to hurt bad. And the finish felt like a backup plan too. Kane returned. What's new? Average PPV.

Is it me or Kane is the next Joseph Park?

Opening promo of RAW was such a breathe of fresh air. I actually liked it as Reigns was decent on the mic and the brawl was just fun to watch. I guess Orton is back to help feud with the Wyatt family. Looks like the Kevin Owens/Ryback feud is still going on and I don't mind it since Owens is the IC champion now. Poor Bo Dallas is just a jobber though. I think one of the highlights of RAW were Paige's "pipebomb" on Charlotte, Becky and this whole revolution. She brought up great points and looks like she's back to being a heel. Good stuff. Charlotte/Brie Bella was an okay match. Still enjoying New Day's antics so glad they won their six man tag match with Rusev. We finally had a Natalya sighting! Too bad she lost to Naomi. Of course Cena was going to beat Rollins clean again. He's Cena. If Kane is going to have a double personality then I think I might dig him doing his Authority role and coming out to the ring with his monster costume. Cheesy ending but whatever.

The main segment I hated was Big Show beating Cesaro cleanly for the 2nd straight time. Got to build him up to look strong against Lesnar. Lame idea. Why couldn't they get Heath Slater and Zack Ryder to job to Big Show? Sick and tired of him. I'm a little shocked to see Mark Henry job out to Sheamus too. Other than that, average show overall.

I really like Charlotte. Awesome champ!

Sting's WWE run so far has been a complete cluster****. With the exception of helping elevate Rollins. No wonder it took Sting so long to go to WWE. His TNA run was awesome.

It's a chore to watch RAW again. Let's start with the nice opening segment though. Cena with a short promo and then the New Day comes out to do their thing. Xavier Woods getting a rare singles match against Cena which leads to the 6-man tag involving the Dudley Boyz. The Seth Rollins/Kane plot was cringeworthy, yet I'm digging it because Kane seems to be playing two roles. So I guess I am digging this feud especially since it's been built up for a long time now. That pedigree looked weird. The only other thing I enjoyed were the brawl Reigns/Wyatt had. They really beat each other up and the finish allows them to look strong. Not bad.

I didn't like everything else. Big Show/Mark Henry was a borefest with Show having to win so he can look strong heading into Suplex City. His promo with Paul Heyman was strong work and I didn't hate that one. I'm losing interest in this Divas Revolution. I thought Paige turned heel. Is Natalya finally a part of this now? There were obvious squash matches and then King Barrett is back. Who cares. His booking is a joke.

My god, it is so dead in this forum. I'm shocked this whole site hasn't been shut down yet.

The hell? Matt Hardy won the TNA Championship only to be stripped by EC3 and got banned from appearing on Impact for a month?

 

[Forever Knight]

wCw's final days were less of a joke than what TNA has become.

As .... awful as te story line sounds this is what actually how it went down, EC3 filed an injunction to keep Matt Hardy off of Impact Wrestling show. Hardy, realizing it would take "months" (his words in the video they released) to get settled voluntarily vacated the title to get the injunction lifted. So the fans could have a champion of course. Not how Orphan made it sound.
