The Wrestling Thread~

people upset that Jacob didn’t debut at Backlash but he legitimately not be allowed to get into Europe due to his record haha
 
Had my second match this weekend, me and my opponent rocked it.

First title opportunity too (NLPW Future’s Championship!) Didn’t come away with the W though.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Now that we know you can perform in the ring, when's your match with Brock Lesnar? :p:p:p
 
Maybe they should have picked one of the other guys to be the new shot caller? It makes some sense kayfabe to have an off screen leader (even if that's still Reigns). I'm not as low on Solo as most just because he has the right look even if he lacks everything else, but read the friggin room.
 
I think I've actually figured it all out...They're trying to extend the storyline so they have enough time to train and groom the one individual they would like to have become the NEW tribal chief...

@SLAB

:p:p:p

Yes, folks...

Whether we like it or not, we're just gonna have to tough it out, and acknowledge HIM.

I got the impression a lot of people thought he was the weakest link in the Bloodline. Of course that means nothing I got the impression on the internet that Jade Cargill was a botch fest on Saturday that took down three great workers only to find out it was Kairi and Asuka and the ref largely responsible for messing up the match flow.
 

LOL Ricky’s going to the Fed the very second his AEW deal is up
 
Not sure why Lyra continues to be getting this unreal push she’s been getting since like Halloween but I guess they did need another female British Isles-born wrestler to fill out the card at Clash in the Castle in a few months.

She’s bland as bland can be. I do not understand it one bit.
 

On the one hand, it’s like forty minutes from my apartment. On the other hand, the arena it’s in sucks (it’s the National Sumo Arena and the sight lines for pretty much anyone not sitting directly next to the ring are gonna blow). On the other hand, this might be my one chance to see Shinsuke win a match since he’s lost pretty much every single one of his TV appearances in the last two years.
 

TBF having her lose against Roxanne because she can't use one hand but still having her look like a badass would probably be the best way for them to debut Giulia while not just having her out and out takeover NXT from her very first appearance.
 
An island full of gingers and the WWE universe loves the brunette. go figure.

I don't have the hate boner for her that our beloved Slab has but for the push she is getting she should be more memorable than she is. I'm far more interested in Blair Davenport of the recent call ups. They didn't book her strong enough imho but she looks like she could kayfabe whoop the entire mid-card although I don't see her at the top of the women's ticket with the current crop of talent WWE has.
 
Word on the street is that the Lyra/Iyo match by itself was longer than the combined length of all the matches in the 2021 Queen of the Ring tournament, by a minute.
 
I don't know which bothered me more, or which I find more annoying: that Liv Morgan (whom I'm not a fan of) won the title, or that a women's title changed hands because of interference from a man whom neither woman was feuding with, on behalf of a woman who's out indefinitely due to injury? Like, what's the payoff here? As Big Dust might have asked, where is the money?

It really felt like they went “Crap, Becky’s deal is up soon so we gotta get the belt off her.” while still trying to keep up the momentum of the Liv/Rhea feud and as a result wound up not really achieving any of their actual goals.

First time I have ever cheered for Nia.

What's funny about all this is that Nia has been en fuego since her return, and this was the smart booking choice, preferences be damned.

And I still don't know why someone who likes good wrestling wouldn't like Lyra Valkyria?

The hell they think she was gonna do, show up on Dynamite and drop the belt in the trash?

I like Lyra as a wrestler but it feels like she never really got her in-ring persona figured out during her NXT stint. Her entire thing over the last half year has been that she’s Becky’s friend and that’s pretty much it?

I’m sure they’ve got something planned for her but she went from a relatively long NXT title reign straight into reaching the finals of Queen of the Ring, something that not even most of the big name signings who got fast tracked through NXT ever did. In a way she’s having her Austin Theory randomly getting the Vince mandated push out of sheer desperation moment.
