Official Pro-Wrestling Thread (WWE, TNA, ROH etc.)

It's not really spoiling it if it has already been on TV tbh, GIMH doesn't read the thread on tuesdays until he's got home from work and watched it iirc.

But yeah, good RAW really. Top work from Jericho, the Y2J chants are getting bigger and bigger. please don't go

I've got to give it to John Cena. He had a good competitive match with Justin Gabriel on Raw and made Justin Gabriel look good. Great Raw this week. I still think Chris Jericho is staying but rather this is the build to an eventual babyface turn and a change in character.

 

[sledger]

I'm hopeful that it's leading to a turn as well. Though I hope they do not try and revert to the original Y2J character, I think that would be quite a backward step. I think they should stick with his curreny type of character as far as it is possible to do so, whilst making the neccessary alterations so that his character can actually work as a face. Really love his "I am the best in the world at what I do" gimmick, think that is fantastic, so it would be a shame to see it go to waste.

Agree completely. This character has been the best he's ever had and he's produced the best work he's ever done with this character. He's been polished, articulate and his promos have had great psychology and it's given him main event credibility where as his previous characters he often came across as a comedy act. I too hope he can adapt and do a different babyface character.

If you watch Summerslam from a month a go, he played the babyface in the 7 on 7 match against Nexus and kept to the boundaries of his current character and did a great job too! So I'm hopeful that if he does stick around and when WWE will have no choice but to turn him babyface, that he'll know what to do and do a great job with the new character.

According to a source, Lindsay Hayward, the 6-9, 240-pound woman given the name Aloisia for the third season of NXT, was actually dropped from the program due to ****** photos WWE officials uncovered of the giant grappler shortly after her television premiere last Tuesday.

The reported reason of Hayward being pulled from the program due to being deemed 'not ready' is said to be a cover excuse.

A set of photographs labeled "Tall Amazons Erotica" depict Hayward in a manner unbecoming to World Wrestling Entertainment's family friendly product. A number of the shots feature Aloisia positioned erotically, including nude. There are also images of the she-giant engaging pleasantries with a petite blonde woman. If you dare, you can click here to view them. Good luck!

The storyline reason given for Hayward's hastily dismissal from NXT was that Aloisia had been fired by her Pro, Vickie Guerrero, after an argument over her influence. Guerrero will reveal her new Rookie Diva during tonight's season 3 premiere.

Hayward currently remains under contract to WWE.

hmmm, can't say I'm massively disappointed by this development, but suffice to say it has lowered my interest in the next season of NXT to even greater depths.

Haha srsly? I didn't dare click on it myself.

Was just browsing Wikipedia out of general boredom, and came across David Otunga's page. Apparently he has a bachelor's degree in psycology and is a graduate of Harvard Law School....wtf....Why the hell would someone with qualifications like that go into pro-wrestling!?!

Haha, love the implication, i.e. that I whine about spoilers

Top Raw, entertaining. I think they should give Jericho's spot in the NOC main event to Morrison, mix things up a bit, dunno, guess you've already got Wade in there. Hyped for that show anyway.

Is The Miz the best mic worker since The Rock?

Anyone catch it when Mathews asked Jericho what next, a couple of people shouted 'TNA, TNA'. I lolled.

Oh and finally, a rare entertaining segment featuring Dibiase. If there's anything possibly cooler than having Maryse, it's cheating on her.

Now I'm off to find nude pics of this giant woman seeing as sledger won't share

 

[Manee]

The Miz is nowhere near The Rock, in my books, but yeah, he is very entertaining for me on the mic. Daniel Bryan is okay, but should relax a bit more on the mic and ease up on the smarky comments, like complaining about his music, for example.

 

[GIMH]

I said The Miz is the best since The Rock, not as good as The Rock

Getting closer though.

 

[GIMH]

NOC shaping up to be a belter btw

 

[sledger]

It's nothing if Jericho isn't there

Got to love Joey Styles. These comments were from his live blog while he was watching NXT.

"Why is Striker yelling? Does he know he has a microphone?

Why are Josh and Cole introducing these women like this is The Dating Game?

Too bad about Aloisia. I've been told she was very photogenic.

Kaitlin was voted as NXT Season 3 hottie by the wwe.com male staff.

Did Striker say "happy ending"?

Because many of these women have little to no wrestling experience, I am looking for charisma and a sense of humor while wrestling skills are developed. I think that's realistic and fair.

When do I get my wedgie, Kaitlin?

I should be safe wearing boxer briefs.

AJ worked as a WRESTLER (dirty word) for 13 years to get to WWE. She's not just a model or fitness competitor we found. (ouch)

Honestly, the fact that Michael is willing to make a fool of himself on NXT makes me respect him as an entertainer. Michael actually surprised us all by bringing his own legwarmers and ballet shoes.

Michael looks like he has Mad Cow disease.

Who had the ingenious idea of ruining beautiful women dancing by having men dance with them, especially when men are watching on their computers?

AJ wrapped the tie around the neck. She's fired!

Pumpkin? Kaitlyn should have kicked Striker in the groin for that condescending comment.

Josh yelling "SHUT UP COLE!" is my new ringtone. I keep calling my cell phone from my office phone to hear it.

I spoke to Maxine after the match. She felt her shoulder was up an the match had not yet reached it's finish. Yes, I used the word finish purposely.

Why do the announcers keep calling these women "girls"? They didn't refer to male NXT Rookies as "boys".

WWE has a new movie coming out? Really? What's it called? Who's in it? I wish myself the best in my future endeavors.

WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment. NXT Season 3 is about "E" first and then "W". The wrestling will get better over the next 12 weeks but the season started as entertaining. I had a good laugh at the dancing segment, enjoyed the challenges and got to see some of the aspiring Divas wrestle. I had fun watching NXT.

Regardless of what you thought of NXT, I think we can all agree on one thing. This chat was more entertaining than TNA. OH MY GOD! Goodnight."

Absolutely hilarious! Pretty much summed up my thoughts about NXT.

Haha, brilliant.

 

[sledger]

Haha, does Joey Styles still work for WWE.com? Miss him as a commentator tbh. Leagues ahead of Michael Cole (though tbf Cole has been better than he has been in years for a while now).

 

[Manee]

Speaking of commentators, Josh Matthews is cool too. I quite like him and Cole on NXT and how their rivalry continues on Raw, with Cole making little smug comments.

 

[sledger]

Josh Matthews is a gun, remember when he went out of Tough Enough back in the day, was heartbreaking.

He was the hero to win. He took so long to nail that moonsault and when he did, it was an emotional moment. Was so pissed when that punk Maven won.
