*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[Agent TBY]

Bad News Barrett is an evolution of his bareknuckled fighter character (remember the Barrett Barrage vignettes?), so it stands to reason that he doesn't really wrestle. Not the best of ideas, but hey, the idea's there.

It's just hard to tell with all the injuries and repackaging the guy's had to go through.

 

[andmark]

Am I the only one who just can't get behind Roman Reigns. By today's standards he is hardly a shining example for in ring work; he has one of easiest characters ever (look epic) and he can't do a meaningful promo without just sounding like a scary John Cena. I just don't get him

 

[sledger]

Nah dude. Reigns' ring work is top bracket. Not the most technically proficient, perhaps, but his athleticism is awesome.

 

[andmark]

Got to disagree. He's rather similar to Barrett in the respect that a couple of moves he does can be impressive (in Reigns case that apron dropkick is decent). But still there are loads of people better than him in the ring to name some: Cesaro, Ambrose, Rollins, Big E, Luke Harper, Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, the list goes on.

 

[sledger]

Fair dos, each to their own. Got to keep in mind that ring work is only good for so much in the E, mind you.

 

[andmark]

Yeah, the fact Steamboat and Ziggler have never been very prominent shows that

 

[sledger]

Ah, it is what it is, I guess. It doesn't bother me so much these days, though it used to.

And he said he used a rear naked choke hold to subdue him, rather than his trademark “Yes!” lock.

Haha, it would have been funny if he had put the burglar in the crossface.

There goes TNA: Spike TV Not Renewing TNA Impact Wrestling - WrestlingInc.com

 

[sledger]

Yeah, if they can't get a TV deal sorted out really soon they are totally ****ed. I don't like their prospects either, as apparently even the WWE have been struggling to get networks to air some of their smaller programmes.

Former Male WCW Wrestler To Star in Adult Films For Vivid Entertainment

 

[andmark]

That stuff seem to be a recurring theme in wrestling weirdly

 

[sledger]

Haha not sure I can think of any others apart from Chyna tbh.

 

[GIMH]

PAC, Hogan

 

[sledger]

Haha, oh yeah, but they never actually tried to "go pro" at it, did they?

The X-Pac porno was one of those things I really wish I could un-see tbh. I remember downloading it when I was back in school out of sheer curiosity, but yeah, it was more frightening than anything else.

 

[Jono]

Bagwell was the first name I thought of. Hahaha.

Judy Bagwell to make an appearance.

 

[Jono]

Uhhh I meant his mum (and former manager in WCW) not his wife, who is also named Judy. Da ****

 

[cover drive man]

I'm not quite sure about Reigns meself. I think Mark's being a bit harsh (we've had this chat before ) his shield stuff was epic (although I suppose I'm not talking about Reigns the wrestler as much the shield). He's not exactly a Ric Flair in technical skill but to be fair he's hardly had a bunch of major singles matches to prove himself either way.

Alberto Del Rio released | WWE.com

Del Rio is gone. At least we won't have to listen to Lilian Garcia put on the worst Mexican accent pro wrestling has ever seen.
