*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[Athlai]

I have never been so invested in a storyline. Kenny and Kota getting that massive face reaction, Cody getting massive heel heat. And which side is Scrull on? The villain started to peak through.

Cody is the #1 heel in the world.

Cody is the #1 heel in the world.

I think at this point it's inarguable, the little things he does are just so damn good. I love him but I genuinely hate him, it's incredible. I just want Kenny to get a hold of him so bad haha

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'm really hoping for Scurll to turn on Cody then the Bucks to come out and superkick Team Kenny tonight.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Marty chose and now he's dead to me.

 

[Spikey]

the one antic I'm not liking about Cody is him acknowledging the thing. You saw it during the WK match and you saw it last night and just now with the kiss. It's been cool that everyone has just bought into the LBGT side of it without it being made it stone dead obvious and tacky

 

[Spikey]

the young bucks have the only fair issue

 

[Spikey]

Beer City Bruiser being the non-Bullet Club star of the tour is probably not how ROH/NJPW drew this one up but the big fat mad man was great

 

[Spikey]

It's weird that Kenny was pumping up the idea of them vs the Bucks being match of year. he's not wrong, it's just that the match should probably take place in America, but you wouldn't be pumping it up in front of a Japanese crowd if you weren't gonna do it there. I guess they could do it as a series

the bucks moving up to heavyweight is great and totally overdue. really strengthens the heavyweight belt

I actually like it, Cody isn’t saying Kota or Kenny are inferior for being LGBT, he’s just jealous/annoyed that Kenny prefers Kota to himself/Bullet Club.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Man, Cody is amazing

I just think it turns it a bit jokey and inside baseball-y, particularly as it seems to happen closer to the end than start of the match, and there's never actually any ***ual innuendo between Kenny & Kota . If the matches were taking place in the lower card I'd be ok with it but they're these deadly serious civil wars and love stories and then out of nowhere Cody is just really upset no-one wants to **** him. Marty did the same "why don't you prefer us?" style thing without interrupting the flow of the match. it's just a minor quibble amongst the sea of good work these guys are doing

"Now we finally own the bitch"

Talk about a way to turn a dud of a segment onto enthralling stuff

 

[Niall]

Yeah was the pits until she put him through the table which is obviously a really cool moment. Ronda was nervous, give her better and short promos that will hide her weakness on the stick. To be fair when not talking, she clearly has an aura. I don't have much interest in it, but anyone who thinks that the Mania crowd won't pop like mad when Ronda kills Steph at Mania is deluded.

The rest of the card very predictable, Bliss cut an awesome promo, the ladies ec match was meh, they worked hard, but did not need to be in the chamber tbh. Alexa v Nia was fine, the rest zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

[Niall]

Oh and obviously keep Matt and everyone away from Bray who is just a disaster, You over? You't be once you have a feud with Bray. Repackage him or get rid.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The newest Showbuckle video is so good. He and Real Neat Puro do such fantastic work on ut00b.

 

[Agent TBY]

Finally got around to watching the Osaka show.

Goddamn was Ospreay/Takahashi good. Takahashi's Canadian Destroyer gets me every time, what a move.

I didn't like it as much as the Juniors match, but Okada/Sanada was also great. The "mirrored" theme prevalent through the match was really cool.

Thankfully, I'll be watching the anniversary show live. Can't wait for the main event.

 

[Agent TBY]

Some fine camerawork at the end of Naito/Tachi.

*if Undertake can't wrestle, I think we'll see Cena in the WWE championship match, I think Shane/Dbry will somehow be involved in the Owens vs. Zayn match but not sure how.

 

[Athlai]

Obviously if Strowman isn't in the battle royale, Rusev should win.
