*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

I don't think he's particularly wrong. The Usos get way more flack from the IWC than they deserve. The bright colours and kid friendliness just get instant heat from internet fans. They're good workers and pretty versatile in their feuds. Will go down as one of the greatest ever

 

[Spikey]

two perfectly fine matches. rusev is so good and should hold onto this for ages. lolcenawins

 

[Spikey]

another good match. xaiver looked good.

miz is the strong favourite for this. i don't know why. he should lose, hopefully to KO, maybe cesaro

 

[Dan]

Cody Rhodes was so, so boring when he first debuted (charisma vacuum back in the Hardcore Holly days), but damn he improved. Shame to see him go.

Plans to retire at 40 iirc.

 

[Dan]

Xavier looking like an actual wrestler is helpful. Gun.

lol @ Cole reciting the stat from r/squaredcircle that was possibly wrong.

 

[Dan]

Hollywood Miz is somewhat glorious.

And Cesaro doing pushups in the ring

 

[Spikey]

that was a very good start. wonder who came up with that

 

[Dan]

How is Cesaro not in the main event yet? **** he's good.

 

[Dan]

holy **** that suplex combo

Crowd's right. This is awesome.

 

[Niall]

Cracking match, jobber camera work at the end though which was a shame.

 

[Spikey]

the best thing, among the many great things, about this match was that they didn't bother with tags. i sometimes see these 4 man matches and they only have two in the ring and of course the match is a bore until any and all of the four are in the ring at the same time. you put 3 of the best wrestlers of the world + miz and it's gonna be red hot unless you have a boring 5 minute babyface/heel beat down while the other two can't get in the ring.

camera work at the end basically the only problem

Some very interesting rumours about a big return today. Hyped.

i wasn't gonna mention this because it's too obvious and spolier-y. also whose side is he on

 

[Dan]

RE the camera at the end, it kind of works -- Zayn so focussed on Owens that he misses what's actually happening, alludes to Miz stealing the match, irony of the Hollywood guy having his scene missed.

 

[Dan]

It'd be mildly amusing if Jericho got all of the weapons and threw them out of the cage, refusing to let them be used. Would draw a fair bit of heat too.

Ambrose escaping the cage, and then climbing back in with an armful of weapons would also be a pretty awesome moment.

 

[Spikey]

If Y2j is gonna stay on after this/MITB, I think it's time for him to find a tag team partner. the promos are doing it for me but the matches aren't doing as much

 

[Athlai]

Yeah a slowed down Jericho doesn't quite work in the way that HHH and Flair were able to get good matches later in their career. Still enjoy him but I'm not sure if we'll see any classic matches from Jericho again.

Story is there was a segment that got cut earlier so this match got 10 extra minutes. #WWEExtremeRules #AmbroseAsylum

this somewhat makes sense, but they couldn't find somewhere else to get 10 minutes?

finally the tacks. the match has started now

 

[Dan]

**** I hate thumbtacks. Jericho's arm is wrecked.
