*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

Was meant to be at a house show with my daughter tonight but had to work. Gutted but her uncle has taken her so looking forwards to her stories.

Kane's weight probably didn't have much to do with it maybe. Rollins did a sunset flip and just landed badly by the looks of the video. Freak thing.

If Kane hadn't hung on to the turnbuckle and had put his weight on Rollins, it could've been really ugly. Rollins' leg could've gone full Sid Vicious.

Yeah, fair point. Tough to tell from that still. I really hope you're right actually. A sunset flip resulting in a jarred knee is understandable and just rotten luck. If, however, this is an attempted running powerbomb thing which lead to Rollins collapsing backwards...well, that would be dire and stupid.

I was planning on going to the London one on Friday night, but had to go to a family birthday instead. Damn relatives.

Definitely a sunset flip. There's videos of it online.

Ah fair enough, misread your earlier post.

I want Kevin Owens to win a quarter final type tournament. He seems some one who can carry the title well and can up his game.

I was thinking why so many injuries are taking place. People have mentioned the 12 month season but the 12 months season has been there for a while. In the past 1 year, WWE seems to have become far more physical (a good thing mind you). This means proper times to rest and recapturate are necessary and they have to understand this.

 

[sledger]

I imagine it's down to the volume of the workload + the fact that a lot of the guys who get injured repeatedly have in=ring styles that are a lot more athletic and demanding on your body than guys who have wrestled in years gone by.

 

[Pratters]

Yeah, athleticism has certainly improved a lot.

 

[Teja.]

Rollins in particular is ****ing crazy. He combines an incredibly athletic style with a ton of power moves which makes for great TV but you feel for the guy if he has to do it 200 days a year.

Except he's already IC champion, and there's no chance in hell he'd win it even if he didn't have the strap.

Hell, I bet an Ambrose win is a far likelier outcome, which says a lot considering how he's been booked.

Yeah, and being champ he puts on main event matches multiple times a week with house shows.

And they've been street fight/cage matches quite frequently as well.

 

[Spikey]

could the usos work as heels

Jonomonster just endorsed this

 

[sledger]

Yeah, his fantasy booking for SS was pretty good on the whole, I thought. Would defo favour a Roman heel turn rather than a Dean heel turn, precisely for the reasons he stated.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I've stopped watching Raw week to week but my mom still randomly tunes in

 

[sledger]

So apparently this happened on RAW tonight:

Cesaro defeated Sheamus when Wayne Rooney slapped King Barrett, which distracted Sheamus and Cesaro connected with a running uppercut.

lol

Byron: Harry Potter doesn't suck.

Made me lol pretty hard. He's been on form recently, JBL and Cole been a bit better too.

 

[Pratters]

Terrific raw. Best I have seen in ages. Having some NXT wrestlers helped as I like many of them. Tyler Breeze reminds me so much of Shaun Michaels. Titun O'Neil has fine in ring skills as well.

Titus isn't that great IMO. Has some awesome power moves though. Great hot tag but I reckon KO made him look better than he was. KO can pretty much have a gun match against anyone*

*excluding Ryback. WAC

Also the IWC seems to think that Reigns turning down HHH's offer means he is going to be babyface and they've already fumbled this. I don't see it that way at all. HHH made the offer so the audience knew there was an offer on the table, I'd be surprised if at SS that one of Ambrose or Reigns didn't become HHH's man.
