*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

I'd try and keep the title on him until WM now. Despite some direness, I think on the whole his championship reign has been pretty good, and if they can keep it going to WM it'll pay off well if they decide to pull the trigger on a Shield triple threat.

This Rusev/Lana/Summer angle is horrible. Summer is the most intolerable diva on the roster too, she's absolutely grim.

It's become a lot better since Ziggler has been removed from TV imo. It's still crap, but I found this week's installment really quite amusing. Lana hitting Summer with a fish, and the abovementioned "Dog Ziggler", both made me laugh.

Still not a great angle obvs, and it's helping nobody, but at least I found it amusing rather than just flatout terrible this time.

 

[King Pietersen]

This week was certainly an improvement, and seeing Lana getting one over on Summer was good, but it's still a terrible way to use Rusev. Sooner Rusev and Lana are back together and Rusev is back to being a monster destroying dudes, the better.

Not convinced this will necessarily ever happen tbh.

 

[King Pietersen]

Ouch, that knee to the nose was pretty savage!

 

[GIMH]

but if they're just gonna continue on with the chicken **** heel thing, rollins should drop the title at summerslam.


get him out of the authority. have the HHH match. tease a shield reunion. but have him actually team up owens and book them strong-ish up until the shield triple threat for the championship at WM. something like that.

Nah have him keep it till Mania. Imo

 

[Athlai]

Na the Rusev thing is awesome. It's turning him into a face. He gets to be funny and since they took Ziggler out of the equation they actually aren't hurting Lana anymore. She's standing up by herself and calling out any **** they're talking. Summer is also getting something to do which is nice. I definitely thought it was rubbish in those first few weeks but it's gotten much better as time has gone on.

Also that was a pretty gun end to Rollins vs. Cena. A much more satisfying STF when he leans his head back and can really tuck in the other guys leg. Finally sold me, no reason why Rollins shouldn't have tapped. His pride? Pfft, nothing important was on the line, only the US title. Hoping he defends cleanish to Cena at SS and lands that sweet move off the top rope.

Wasn't too impressed with Orton vs. Owens. Seemed to lack chemistry. Was interested at Cesaro coming out to defend Orton/punch Owens in the head. Owens/Cesaro at SS. Would be keen. (Maybe with the US title on the line? Eh ? eh? eh? but seriously you cant just have rollins and cena have no further build up to Summerslam, get Rollins to cost Cena an open challenge defense)

 

[sledger]

I wonder if Owens' main roster push is being slowed up a bit due to the fact that he's still appearing in NXT. He's clearly not getting the NXT title back at the next Takeover show, but it'd be a bit weird for him to be beating all the guys on the main roster only to then lose to Balor. I rather suspect the powers that be think similarly.

 

[duffer]

Why is Rollins tapping out to Cena on TV? Way to make your champ look good, eh WWE? I bet gimh will still pretend Rollins has been booked fine.

I'm taking a wait and see stance regarding Cena-Rollins. At least until Summerslam. That said I didn't like seeing him tap. Didn't like it at all, but I'll wait and see.

 

[duffer]

Also I really quite like the idea of a Neville vs Stardust feud. Could be really decent if it's given enough airtime imo.

Oh, and "Dog Ziggler"

This was good. Rusev continues to show his range.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rusev's twitter is gold, btw.

 

[sledger]

It's kind of weird how in pro-wrasslin' tapping out is often interpreted as a sign of weakness, but in a proper combat sport you'd be thought of as a proper ****ing idiot not to tap out quick if your opponent got a submission locked on you.

No point comparing apples and oranges obvs, but it amuses me to mull it over.

 

[duffer]

Am I the only one who can't see the point of Byron Saxton?

No, he's ****.

They should get Corey Graves on the main roster.

 

[harsh.ag]

Saw the Rollins-Cena match. Really liked the Rollins Superplex into Sitout Suplex combo. Thought he should have won from that.

Best stance to take with TV booking imo

Nope. He's awful. Bring back Matt Striker.

Wrestling forum drove me there. Good god the kneejerk on there.

 

[King Pietersen]

I love WF. They're so delusional. The Cena-hate on there is just mind boggling. Twisting everything he does into some sort of terrible Cenawinslol meme. Awful stuff.
