*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[Dan]

One thing, did anyone else think the Taker line should have been "You can't kill what's already dead"?

Rollins so good at being a chicken**** heel. Gets some seriously good heat. Hope he keeps the belt for a while!

That'd be a little bit GoT-y and, well, I don't think anyone actually believes that the Undertaker is literally dead (or, more accurately, will suspend disbelief to that point).

 

[King Pietersen]

His nickname is The Deadman though tbf.

 

[Dan]

Title unification at Summerslam, maybe? (I have no idea what's been announced, ftr)

Having both the IC and the US titles for midcarders seems a little excessive, especially once the US being a pseudo-TV title thing gets stale.

 

[King Pietersen]

Nah, Owens vs Cena one more time, maybe a Triple Threat with Cesaro, so Cena can drop the belt to Owens without getting pinned himself.

Hogan vs Cena at WM32 rumours seem to be growing.......

Battleground 2015 finish from ringside

The Battleground finish from Ringside. So much awesome.

 

[duffer]

There are so many people who could be feuding with Rollins. Such a joke.

Cena, the face, walked into the ring and basically said to the heel I'm the real champ of this place. Either they're gonna face off, or Cena (under orders of course) just pissed all over Rollins for no real reason (except t-shirt sales?). Neither option is particularly appealing

It just made no sense and we're no clearer to the direction they're going in. Was such an awesome first hour of RAW as well.

 

[duffer]

Hard to know what I enjoyed most. Divas being quality or Rusev and Lana being quality. Who needs Ziggler. So much better without him involved.

Did you see the look on his face when he interrupted Lana and Summer? Bah gawd that was really really creepy. He's becoming a joke with this angle.

 

[duffer]

Also looks like Miz has picked up a legit injury after Big Show performed an elbow drop from the second rope on him. I wonder which genius thought that one up. Bloke's ribs are probably smashed to pieces.

Oh dear.

 

[cover drive man]

Cena and Rollins wouldn't be a good idea, especially as Cena appears to be finally getting over with the smartarse contingent.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Need more Rusev love here. He's so awesome. He's pretty much a face for me at this point. Completely won his break up with Lana, puts on great matches with Cesaro and Owens, and that catapult +RKO spot was perfection.

 

[GIMH]

Ending of Battleground was awesome

 

[Compton]

There was so much unintentional hilarity in the Brock Taker brawl

Darren Young slapping Lesnar's hand to try and get him to slip the top rope
Taker laying into an unsuspecting Konnor
Brock flipping a table for no reason
R Truth talking Lesnar down

TV gold

 

[sledger]

The commentators ****ting their pants and bailing out as soon as Lesnar's music hit was quite amusing as well I thought. Not in a dire slapstick sort of way, I just found it funny. Good TV.

 

[Spikey]

Last night on the Observer radio when they were going over the segment with Undertaker and Brock Lesnar brawling Dave made it a point to say that all the mid carders came out to help break up the brawl. Bryan asked "yeah but I saw Kevin Owens" to which Dave replied "yep that's exactly what they think of him and that was them (wwe management) showing theyre hand".
They basically think that he is going to be a mid carder and they don't think that he is a superstar. Dave pointed out that they made sure that everyone that they're protecting was not out there to break up the brawl so Roman,Dean,Wyatt, Seth, Cena, etc. The top tier talent.
On the previous Bryan and Vinny show the one after Battleground, Bryan said that as long as Kevin Owens is overweight this company will never get behind him and Vince McMahon is still running things. In the past they have gotten big guys over before like Yokozuna but times have changed and Vince no longer things like that no matter how entertaining or how good Kevin is.

jesus christ

Because, uhh, Bray Wyatt is totally rocking a 6-pack these days.

Owens just debuted on the main roster in a badass feud against Cena. I don't think he's being buried. IWC hacks with "I like a guy so let's find a way to say he's been buried so we can decry Vince/Triple H/WWE as the pure oppressive anti-wrestling evil that they are!" rubbish, as per usual IMO.

That's not iwc, it's Meltzer.

 

[Athlai]

Rubbish. Shaemus and Orton were out there too. Roman + Dean + Cena are anti-authority. Wyatt is supernatural entity/distracting relationship with Undertaker. Seth is the champ and had a distracting relationship with both.

Owen just stood in a particularly noticeable position which made him a bit more memorable than Shaemus/Cesaro/Rusev and Orton who were all out there too.

What we got was effectively everyone who won't take orders from Triple HHH.

 

[Dan]

I've always been of the opinion that Meltzer doesn't know half as much as he portrays himself as knowing. I mean, it's not unheard of for his 'inside info' to be complete and utter crap, right?

Nope. For the most part he gets it absolutely right. Lots of people still brush him off as "lol dirt sheets" but he's accurate more often than most admit.

Not saying he's right about everything, mind. The stuff about Owens could be false, but what he says can't be rubbished too easily.

But don't let that get in the way of a good "Triple HHH hates the indiez bc they're better than him" waaaaaaaahhhh.
