The Wrestling Thread~

"Who better [than Chelsea Green] to represent the United States of America as the first-ever Women's United States Champion?"

"She's from Canada."

Michael Cole has been so much better since Vince stopped screaming in his ear.

Ricky being stuck in no man’s land because he was cool with the two biggest guys who went back to WWE and TK is afraid of him following them over once his contract expires to the point of just leaving him off of their shows forever is peak wrestling pettiness.


Also JBL showed up and clotheslined a guy like he has at every single indie show in the last couple of months for some reason. Dude must really be feeling inflation.
 
Word on the Street is that Jade Cargill was written off TV to cover for a legit neck injury. She's supposedly going to miss three months, which I presume takes her past the Rumble.
 
so Bayley just going to team up with Iyo and Bianca after pretty much everything about her run in the HHH era being her against them is certainly a choice.

I had read that somewhere else, do we know where it happened? on tv? house show?
 
The whole Speed concept has never sit right with me. WWE fans created a whole organic movement around the idea of giving the women more than three minutes in the ring and, nine years later, WWE has a whole series built around trying to win matches in three minutes or less.
 
I've never watched it and probably won't/don't care about it. I like the Heritage Cup as a lightning round concept, but even that really stretches what we've established as the norms of kayfabe. But being limited to midcard in NXT I guess I can look past it.
 
Well I’ll be damned.
They actually put a belt on Shinsuke Nakamura in the year 2024

Going from Iyo to Shinsuke to Tozawa and Sacramento native Maxxine Dupre (In an ad segment), the start of this PLE was made for me and probably me alone.
 
Pretty much the ending you would expect. Apparently Bronson Reed was hurt on the table spot.

Not sure what else needs to be told here besides Rock/Roman one day. If Jacob can jump off from here he'd be amazing without being stuck with Solo.

Yeah, not sure why HHH is saying Bronson is going to be week-to-week, dude’s leg did an Adam Copeland/Macho Man except he’s 350 pounds so there’s gotta be even more pressure on those ligaments which sucks because Bronson Reed turning into a huge draw has been one of the few bonafide successes of RAW since they switched announcers.
 
Some fantasy booking in my head took me down an internet rabbit hole that led me to an incident called the "Ghastly Match" in Japan and, boy howdy!

Incredible segment. And the eventual re-unite will be amazing and emotional. These guys need this. It’s been the same thing for an entire decade. This change will be so reinvigorating for the entire act going forward.

That was as effective of a "heel turn" as I've ever seen without the heel (or in this case, the heels) absolutely beating the crap out of the face. That was a perfect segment to advance the storyline.

He's never going to be cleared again, not by WWE doctors. And I don't think that E burns with the desire to get back into the ring that Danielson had, or even Edge had, which means that he's probably content in his new role. Which, in turn, means that there's no payoff to this heel turn. This turn will maybe... maybe refresh Kofi and Woods until Mania, at which point fans will figure out that it's the same tag team, with the same promos, but maybe slightly more cheating in the matches. After that, there'll be nothing left but to split them up in the draft.

I hate this.
