The Pro Wrestling Thread

I think if you never stopped watching, you would have a greater appreciation for last night and how many new young stars they have created since 2006. Also their whole roster is the size of the Ravens IR list at the moment with a lot of top guys out months with injuries. They literally had to scrap a lot of big matches planned due to the injuries.

Buy the WWE Network(WWE's Netflix) and see what you have missed. I think watching the Network you will see that there is some real good talent out there.

I'm not doubting their young talent. That kid in the rumble from NXT. Wore red. Very clean on his moves with the kicks.

The matches to me were sloppy is what I'm saying. The luchador match was pedestrian. WWE had a chance to create a new champion last night and they went back to HHH. It's easy to see where the storyline is headed. Reigns will retain the title at wrestlemania. Haven't seen an event in over 10 years, and I can predict that.....

Maybe Vince Russo wasn't so bad?

That KO dude, that match was pretty entertaining, those guys put their bodies on the line. The blonde guy pretty much got Snow Plowed (Al Snow) through a table. That made me cringe.

I'll do the free trial. If you could tell me one event and one match to check out to sway me, what match and what PPV event would you recommend?

I want something that can beat the Steve Austin vs Brett Hart match

I've been a WWE since the nineties, but over the last half of year I just haven't watched much. I still love some of the wrestlers (like Bray Wyatt, Kevin Owens, and Bray Wyatt), but the show as a whole just started to feel a bit stale.

Though I found another, pretty new promotion that's been fun to watch, Lucha Underground. It's second season starts tomorrow (they do a season format, like regular shows), and I'd definitely suggest checking it out for those that haven't.

So you really love Bray Wyatt, huh?

Heh, didn't even notice that. Meant to write Ambrose the first time.

Room for another fan?

I suppose some of you have already heard, but I feel I must let all of you know - one of the greats from the days of the territories passed away this past Saturday:  Archie "The Stomper" Gouldie, better known in the States as "The Mongolian Stomper".  Archie passed away at the age of 79; he was a competitor of some force, of whom it was said "he could take the pain".  He was relentless in his matches, and his career lasted fifty years.

Archie's funeral will be tomorrow in East Tennessee.  He will be missed.

Well if you want something recent.... I would have to tell you forget Raw & SD and the main PPVs. On the Network just binge watch WWE NXT and that should be enough to sway you. Start in the beginning which was 2014, and binge watch it until your into 2016. That's all you need to watch. Yes, Raw & SD have good matches every once in a while but NXT hits it out of the park every single week.

Okay I'll got for it. Do you think they knock it out because it's all youthful talent? There is more room to be creative?

More room to be creative, the young guys/girls are able to find a gimmick that works and it gets over. Also there is that factor of it being new talent, as Raw & SD rely heavily especially these past few years on guys like The Rock, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho, etc. Basically anyone who is a big name from the 90's to early 2000's in order to draw ratings. Yes they create new stars and most of the new stars today came from NXT and started there.

What you will find interesting as you binge watch NXT is that Triple H runs NXT and what he does in an hour show with NXT compared to Raw that is three hours and Smackdown is 2 hours, you will see the difference is night and day.

[Militant X 1]

I'm on the late show due to travelling out of state the past 2 weeks but I love Triple H being the man! Lol!

WWE has announced that Daniel Bryan will have to retire from the ring.

[Steve0x]

Yeah i watched it tonight. I don't think Daniel Bryan should had retired. Why can't he be Brie Bella's Manager? Just like Rick Flair is managing his daughter Charlotte.

I can't believe Bret Hart has cancer.  He is an all time favorite of mine

I'll admit - I thought Daniel was going to break down and cry at times, still, I wish him well in his future endeavors.

I think  Titus O'Neil shouldn't be suspended For Touching Vince McMahon. Thats just unfair

Beyond unfair. Begs the question if someone like John Cena did that, would he have been suspended? Me thinks not. I still will never forgive Vince for what he said to Booker T's face back in the early 2000s.

I sure as heck hope not. If this wasn't Wrestlemania, then I'd agree. I am a big Undertaker fan and I definitely don't want him to have another L on his Wrestlemania record lol.

Undertaker loses again,,Its time for him to retire.

Shane won't wrestle Taker at Mania. I can already tell he is just a place holder. Shane will most likely announce a replacement, either Cena or Sting.

Scuttlebutt has it that one of the matches set for WrestleMania will have the New Day going against the League of Nations.

I'm still trying to figure out whose side to take if that one goes on the bill.

[Steve0x]

I dreamt this last night . Taker was about to tombstone Shane but lights went out and then Sting came in cage tombstones Taker,, lights went out again and then shane is on top of taker and the ref is shocked as well he cant believe it,,So he counted 1,2,3  and both men are still out cold and then as Shane wakes up John Cena smiles hold up his hand shane won and shane says did i win?
