The Wrestling Thread: 1...2...Only 2!

[Forever Knight]

TNA has been imrpoving over the last few weeks. I'm liking it again.

I just don't get why Sting is attack Flair yet he was on his side when Flair first showed up in TNA.

Watching impact right now and LOLed @

<Chelsea> Can we get something to eat?.
<Desmond> Chelsea, you ate yesterday.

Kaval FTW for NXT. I havent watched it yet but I'm glad he won it.

Here are the bitches for season 3

Having ALL Divas for this season can be an okay idea and can be a horrid idea. Good = Cat fighttts!!!. But I was really hoping for 4 Males and 4 Females this season.

I think they went with all females because they now have more than enough new males to work with. I'm sure they wont drop Hennig or Riley, plus all of the Nexus guys, and Kaval, etc...

Now is NXT3 on SyFy or what?.

At that time, Smackdown didn't have a women's title. Which is why they made the Diva's title. Right now they want to unify the titles, which is a good idea. Since having too many belt isn't good. It makes the title picture look like a joke. However I think that they should keep the IC & US belts seperate.

ess titles = better imo. Which means they could be going back to the roots of the brand extension and have only 1 set of titles, yet have the champions appear/defend/fued on both shows which is something I like alot better. Damn you Brock Lesnar for jumping to SmackDown that time.

I do agree, US & IC titles should NOT be unified.

I disagree. I really want to unify US and IC, even better w/ WHC and WWE Championship. Kaval's the winner, so hell yeah.

The US and IC titles have always been different entities unlike the WOmens and Divas and the tag titles that were unified. Even though the IC and US titles were unified before only because the US title was WCW's equivilent to WWF's IC title.

If anything the WWE and World titles deserve to be merged more than the US and IC titles.

Co-sign........I'm getting utterly annoyed differentiating between "World Champion" and "WWE Champion" when they are the exact same damn thing. Only reason it was created 'cause of the whole "make Brock Lesnar and the WWE Title exclusive to Smackdown" in the beginning mess. I was more comfortable with the brand extension from the beginning when it was ALL THE TITLES being defended on both brands.

But still, US and IC titles should remain separate HOWEVER........they should both be defended on both brands regardless. I mean, there is no more Euro Title anymore so might as well make the US Title the "secondary alternative" to the IC Title.

Then we're back to a main event situation like I said would happen if they merged the Heavyweight titles again. It happened when the brand split happen. The only people getting a shot at the Undisputed titles a majority of times where the guys already in the main event scene, especially on PPV. Yeah Jeff Hardy got his shots but they were mainly on TV and Lesner, but let's face it he was Vince's new toy and strapped a rocket on his back to the top. We didn't get any new faces in the main event scene until after they had Lesner stay on Smackdown and bring back the World Title

And all titles were not defended on both shows back then. Only the Undisputed and Women's title were the only ones who traveled both shows. When the first draft happened whoever was IC champion that title became exclusive on that brand. Raw got the IC, Hardcore when a raw guy beat the drafted smackdown champoin on that last Smackdown before the split became official and tag champions when they jumped to Raw after the draft and maybe the European title as well. Like I said Smackdown had the tag belts but they jumped to Raw.

And I know this because A, I watched with amazement as Smackdown got screwed title wise. And B, I remember on that Smackdown after the draft and final combined show, MAven lost the Hardcore title to Raven I beleive, who was drafted to Raw, and Vince was bitching because he didn't want Maven he wanted the division. Which meant no Smackdown guy was going to get a shot at that title again when the split became official.

Actually, not ALL of the titles were defended on both shows at the beginning of the brand extension. Only the WWE & Womens titles were defended on both shows.

But I think this time around if they do unify the titles, have the champions be on both shows.

 

[Jedah Crow]

The reason we have two world titles is to support house show business. These shows are important for WWE because of their high profit to cost ratio. Having two world champions allows them to run more world title main events in more house shows. For that reason, the titles won't be unified anytime soon.

Funny thing. When Vickie Guerrero of all people, revealed herself to be a pro and she then went on and on about how big and powerful her rookie was. I was thinking they were going for another established veteran being paired up with the least credible pro angle ala Danielson/Miz and Kaval/Lay-Cool. I started thinking "Oh ****! Did they just sign Amazing Kong?!" But then showed Aloisa and I felt a strange mixture of relief and disappointment.

That position is now AJ Lee's. She's the best of this group IMO, and I know he has a lot of attention with the smarks. Therefore... they bring her as a face, with a promo in which she says: ''I guess I represent all the nerds in the world...''. Enter Cole's usual heel rant, and an AWFUL pro, and we're good to go... kinda. Because Primo is practically a jobber.
You just... can't have... the fucking queen of FCW... paired up with Primo...

 

[The 2nd Evil]

Unless I'm mistaken, Naomi was the one who beat Serena in the tournament finals to become FCW's first Divas Champion.

That was a real good match, too with great selling by Naomi.

Agreed. Goldust actually makes sense for a male pro in an all-Divas season. He's also a credible pro being 20 year veteran in the business.

Primo he's a solid worker when he gets a chance to actually wrestle, as seen on Superstars. But he has no charisma, mediocre mic skills and no credibility whatsoever. I also don't get why he would be pro for the Divas. Goldust works, the only other guy I think would fit would be Santino since he gets involved in more Diva-related angles than anyone else.

I suppose they could go with an angle where Primo is more interested in hitting on his rookie instead of training her. Which makes A.J. Lee uncomfortable. A sexual harassment storyline to make her a sympathetic face might actually work.
