*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[Athlai]

Reigns ultimately losing because he chose his bloodfeud with Rollins over finishing Cody is some quality storytelling

 

[honestbharani]

Film companies will, massive insurance implications if he plans to have any film commitments. An injury could entirely stall production and insurers will balk

Yeah but that is an issue that is always there. And IIRC it superseded his wrestling contract two before now. All coz of the Twice in a Lifetime thing too

 

[honestbharani]

****ing jey jimmy solo cena the rock shield rollins and taker

Endgame

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Who got the loudest pop?

Rock, Cena, or The Deadman?

 

[Niall]

Overall felt much more like Mania than last night . No obvious lowlights, maybe the streetfight if you had to nitpick but it was harmless fluff nonetheless.

Main event was great especially the cluster**** of interference, Seth getting killed in 2 seconds

 

[OverratedSanity]

That was overbooked nonsense and I loved it. Excellent work with the intertwining storylines almost made it feel like an A tier rumble match lol. Austin instead of taker would've been perfection but hey the gong was still fun.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Also, Cole's "Damn it, I love professional wrestling" line is going to go down as an all timer. Guy poured years of justified frustration into that haha.

 

[Athlai]

Cole coming out the otherside of the Vince era and getting his flowers is super wholesome

Did love him complimenting the ring announcer night 1 live on air, she's got an earpiece to hear that and he is her boss

 

[duffer]

The show was that good, eh? Will have to find some time this week to watch it then..

 

[honestbharani]

I felt they were always setting up for Austin but maybe something fell through at the last min. The stupid Sony app which is where we get our WWE network kept doing some kind of analysis show like they do in cricket and I could not rewind back to see the actual main event. Will be watching now in sometime, once they are done with their crap.

This

Just brilliant.

Wouldn't be surprised if Roman stepped away tbh

 

[honestbharani]

That was overbooked nonsense

I am actually surprised there was so less of it and only towards the end. I was honestly expecting the nonsense we saw in that in Sting-HHH match.

 

[Silver Silva]

I am sure Dusty Rhodes is looking down from heaven with pride , the dream has come true for the American Nightmare !

 

[kyear2]

Didn't love the night, but the main even was historically great, ****ing amazing spectacle...

Yes, the breaking glass would have been perfect, but the Gong was epic.

Cody finished the Story

 

[OverratedSanity]

I really hope Rock sticks around, he's been absolute gold in this run, not sure what they'll do with him though.

 

[sledger]

Yeah that was overbooked af, but that was exactly what I hoped it would be tbh. Loved it. Easily one of the best WM main events in recent memory.

 

[sledger]

I really hope Rock sticks around, he's been absolute gold in this run, not sure what they'll do with him though.

I imagine he'll be on RAW to do a "you ****ed up, you're out" betrayal of Roman before they both disappear until Summerslam/next WM tbh.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Sounds like it was fun, might have to check out that main event.

 

[sledger]

Sounds like it was fun, might have to check out that main event.

Yeah tbh most of both shows was pretty skippable imo, but the main events of both nights (especially night two) are well worth checking out. The night 2 main event was basically everything that's great about pro wrestling. Had everything.

 

[sledger]

I like how John Cena (who presumably in kayfabe was only there to provide the save for Cody) waited until after Cody had been speared/Samoan-spiked, and had to kick out of a pin attempt, before he came out though. I know this is just one of those pro wrestling things, but if Cody hadn't kicked out there he would have been left looking like a total dumbass lol.
