Can Ricochet deliver a good promo? I remember him sounding awkward on the mic during the G1 USA Special.
By spindashing Go To PostCan Ricochet deliver a good promo? I remember him sounding awkward on the mic during the G1 USA Special.
Oh no - he is most definitely going through the HBK School of Promos. Unless they put a mask on him again.
Hey all just joined the site and happy to finally find the wrestling thread so I'm just gonna jump in with you guys.
It would pain me to see Ricochet be wasted on 205 but I can see it happening I'm surprised they hadnt found an excuse to send Finn there with the way hes been used lately.
I don't want to see Bryan wrestle again but at the same time I don't blame him for wanting to. Hopefully whatever he does after WWE is his way of having a farewell tour since he didn't get to get one I think he feels cheated out of that.
Survivor series is shaping up to be a typical WWE card which is mixed. I enjoyed the end segment of Raw with smackdown invading but it just makes me think at the series Raw is going to dominate which probably was going to happen anyway.

Welcome! Sounds like you’re gonna fit in just fine here.
Just right amount of cynicism about anything WWE does!
Emma Released From WWE
Well now the Asuka matches make even less sense than they did before.
What a waste.

Jealous! Have a ton of fun - which I’m sure it probably will be. The guys seem like they’re really great with the fans.

They really think Baron is going to be able to go toe to toe with Miz in any capacity?

I just read on Deadspin about the staff of Live Audio Wrestling (LAW) getting laid off. I only saw John Pollack's tweet about his last day on Monday and never read or looked out for anything else. Happy that John and Wai are continuing their podcasts. It's the only way I followed RAW and Smackdown for the past years that I haven't actively watched WWE.
Impact/Anthem fucked everything up.

By Cartoonic21 Go To PostD-Bry took a bump from Kane (in the dark).
Return confirmed!
There I was, thinking Kane would give him a pass after their Team Hell No days.
Emma reportedly made enemies with some of the members of the writing staff over time, and this was made worse due to her being so vocal about her WWE status on Twitter. It was noted that some viewed her exit as “addition by subtraction” in the locker room.
Barrasso noted Emma’s release was said to send a message to the WWE locker room, citing recent departures by Jimmy Jacobs and Neville, and Nia Jax’s leave of absence that talent will take note about this moving forward.
Vintage Vince
..Yep that definitely sounds like a Vince kind of thing.
It also amazes me how much pull writers have in WWE compared to other industries.

By rodeoclown Go To PostThey're definitely going to have Cena take the belt off Jinder, aren't they
Gotta have Cena beat Ric’s record damnit! /Vince
Does that mean Charlotte is going to win the belt before Survivor Series ? Or is it just marketing stuff.
By rodeoclown Go To PostThey're definitely going to have Cena take the belt off Jinder, aren't theyIf that's what it takes to finally having him drop the tittle I'll take it.
Now if they wait until Mania....then you have a problem.
By Cartoonic21 Go To PostGotta have Cena beat Ric’s record damnit! /VinceFinally, up and comer John Cena gets his.
I could honestly see them at least putting Cena in the match at Night of Champions to make it a triple threat because Jinder ain't a draw and a straight up AJ/Jinder match is going to be terrible.
By Mole Go To PostDoes that mean Charlotte is going to win the belt before Survivor Series ? Or is it just marketing stuff.
Just marketing stuff - I wouldn’t read too much into it for now.
I’d honestly not want to see Charlotte against Alexa if it somehow happens. I think that’d be a bad matchup.

I think it would be pretty good tbh, Alexa needs someone who can carry here in ring and Charlotte can do that. Although i think Natalya is terrible so i'm fine with any alternative.

Swerve - Cena is in the match to actually get a match against Brock for the UT, because Roman is sick.
By Cartoonic21 Go To PostSwerve - Cena is in the match to actually get a match against Brock for the UT, because Roman is sick.I mean, I genuinely dislike Brock having the belt because he doesn't care anymore, this Suplex City character is trash, and he doesn't wrestle good matches much these days unless it's a multiman situation, but they've presented Cena as a dude who isn't anywhere close to Brock's level for three years now.
I feel like Balor/Brock at the Rumble is a pretty safe bet.

I want that to be true RE: Balor/Brock but I’m also conflicted.
Mostly because I don’t want Balor to just get fed to Brock and/or have him end up with a concussion again like Randy last year.
By Cartoonic21 Go To PostI want that to be true RE: Balor/Brock but I’m also conflicted.But it's also pretty apparent that they don't have huge Mania plans for Balor. He'll lose to Brock and then move down the card as they bring back part-timers to try and fill up a football stadium. Are you excited for 48 year old Triple H and 48 year old Kurt Angle in the main event of their biggest show? Breathe in that big fight feel.

Well, I don’t know what’s happening anymore.
We talkin shit about this title match and then WWE announces AJ challenging for the title next Tuesday.
I wanna believe in the dream of AJ vs Brock with Cena ref’ing. Now that’s actually a match. But we’ll prolly still get what we got.
Also, I raise you Triple H vs. Kurt Angle vs. The Rock vs. Roman Reigns in a Fatal 4 Way for the Universal Title. Roman goes over all of them
... I hate that I can't post in this thread now when people are here. I'm up to March 2017 now, still speeding through RAWs, Smackdowns and PPVs.
Please pray for me...

It'll be bad and boring and the Singh brothers will interfere and cost AJ the match.

Frank, it would honestly save you a lot of heartache and bad wrestling if you just watch marquee matches and feuds from that time to now.
I promise you, nothing about the entire Orton and Jinder program is worth watching.

I had honestly forgotten most of WrestleMania 33 already and looking back at the results now, there's only three matches I'd say you have to watch from it (AJ/Shane, the tag match, Goldberg/Lesnar).
By RedHoodedOwl Go To PostI'm rooting for Naito during his match against Okada at Wrestle Kingdom.
I want Naito to win, really badly. But I don’t know how high NJPW are on keeping Okada as champ right now.
Also side note regarding thread: I’ll be updating 2nd post later tonight with the NXT Takeover matches since I think most are TV confirmed now and not spoilers.
Why is Frankman willingly subjecting himself to bad, poorly booked sports entertainment? Just watch the matches that got raves, the Cena-Roman promo showdown, the occasional winning segment of Owens-Miz talking trash as the unapologetic best heels in the company... and call it a day. That should take what... an afternoon at most? Then he can spend an entire week watching this year's G1 Climax tournament, Wrestle Kingdom 11 and pretty much any other top-rated Kenny Omega match.

Not yet - that’s a dream match of mine for sure but they haven’t said anything official I don’t think.
