*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[Athlai]

Best raw in yonks. All the qualifier matches were gold.

 

[King Pietersen]

The pop when Roman countered the pop-up powerbomb with a superman punch was awesome. Read the results and watched a couple of the highlights on Youtube but will watch the full thing tonight!

Few clips of Breaking Ground a documentary series about the NXT Performance Centre. Looks like it'll be worth a watch. Anything that includes Regal is worth watching to me. The podcasts he's been on have been excellent.

 

[Spikey]

he said look at the camera. um.

 

[Athlai]

I love the New Day/Eden feud. And the KO everyone but Renee or JBL feud.

 

[sledger]

Really good episode of RAW. Turns out booking fresh matches/angles, the outcome of which actually means something, makes for a better show. Who knew?

 

[Pratters]

This Diesel replica is unwatchable.

 

[duffer]

Excellent RAW. First one months where I didn't feel it was a chore to sit through the whole thing.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Man that was great.

 

[OverratedSanity]

The Owens vs Reigns faceoff was so hype too... I want that feud.

 

[duffer]

Going by the reactions online, Roman as a face champ is going to get **** on hardcore. Watch this space really.

 

[duffer]

I mean can anyone imagine how hilarious a Cena vs Roman WM match for the strap be? I'd be all for it.

 

[Pratters]

I don't like Roman Reins at all. Has zero charisma.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I don't like Roman Reins at all. Has zero charisma.

Nonsense. He has loads of charisma. Not a good talker though. Atleast when he's scripted.

Yep, definitely. Been saying it for a while now... heel turn with WWE allowing him to go unscripted on the mic for a while would do him so much good.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, Reigns is good, just needs to be used properly. The scripted promos really ought to be ditched, but aside from that I think it's his in-ring work/conditioning that needs improvement over anything else. Guy can work a match fine, but imo he's not consistently at the level of a top drawer main-eventer. Bloke looked absolutely gassed from early on during last night. Shades of Batista winning the Rumble a few years ago.

Anyway, anyone getting the 2k16 game? Looks pretty good. Tempted to pick it up after work, but will probably wait to hear some reviews etc...

 

[duffer]

I don't like Roman Reins at all. Has zero charisma.

He's a prisoner to what creative gives him though. It's a booking problem, they don't play to each wrestler's strengths.

edit: Or as OS and sledger said they don't give him a chance to work ad lib and maybe show some personality. It's too scripted and too lame.

 

[King Pietersen]

Reigns should be a monster heel with a manager. He has huge charisma in the ring and is a great performer, just needs someone to talk for him. He looks like a bad-ass so would definitely buy him playing the role of a monster heel, maybe as part of a stable run by a heel manager.

I dunno if you even need to go that far tbh. I think turning him back to a strong silent guy who basically says and does nothing other than beat the crap out of people would do wonders for him.
