The Wrestling Thread: Est.2009

[CrawleyRed]

youll probably find no one in this thread will give you a response fella. you talk to much truth. your hitting the similar lines as i questioned a few posts back, and no one batted an eye lid.
they dont like to belive that wrestling us up tha pan in here it seems, its a small clique in here and if your not in, they dont respond to you. ive seen many good posts questioning the buisness go a miss. and they just mass responed around brodus clay and such alike.

im with you on what you say, WWE is so far out of reach its unbelievable, and i fear theres no turning back anymore, that they have gone way to far and theres no way to fix it.

like i say when cena goes over the rock at wrestle mania, it will be the end for wrestling. they may aswell do away with matches alltogether and just run a soap opera.

Thanks mate, but I wasn't especially after a response on it, just needed to vent.

For the record I'm not completely against WWE, just so frustrated at how lazy they've been the past few years, knowing full well they could be producing so much more. They just need competition like they got from WCW back in the day. Unfortunately despite having a fantastic roster, TNA's writing is about as interesting as a John Morrison promo.

Eh NXT is still going?

Who's in it?

That is the most poo show ever, I have no interest in it, so I couldn't tell you.

I'm looking forward to a new series of Tough Enough though, are they definitely doing it?

[CrawleyRed]

It's basically just another show now so they have something to do with jobbers like Kidd, Barretta, Gabriel and Slater. There's also Darren 'Black Cena' Young, Percy 'didn't you used to be Shelton Benjamin?' Watson and Titus 'my thing is barking like a seal' O'Neill. They apparently still get points for wins, but there doesn't appear to be an end in sight.

I only watch as it's the only place I get to see the future Mrs Crawley Red, Kaitlyn

BRISCOE TIME.

Chris Hero was signed to a WWE developmental deal this month after finally completing the WWE medical tests. He has now been given a new ring name - which is perfectly normal for new WWE talents. Going forward, Hero will be known as Kassius Ohno.

Kassius Ohno?!
Who comes up with these names?

[caple]

I wish they wouldn't change names.

Especially as the ones they come up with always suck.

[-Luck-]

thats aload of ********. his character wasnt going anywhere fast, was never going to be main eventing under that "enigma"
it grew stale very fast, and became annoying. brodus clay should be a heel, simple as, a monster. not made to dance about like a total moron.
theyve totaly discredited him as a heel now, and i believe it was vinces plan all along to punish him. and screw him from never been main event material .

no one would of took him serious as a champion, given if he had maybe won the I.C belt they would be a pop at first, but that soon would swindle out .

yet again WWE *********** over there talent roster with crappy gimmicks that dont have credibilty to maintain for a long period of time.

i dont blame the wreslters at all, its the WWE where my blame lays. they have no idea what the fans want or need, there still to this day trying to tell the fans what they want, rather than listening to what we actually want. i believe fully that the boos john laurinites gets vince thinks is real heat, its not vince... we are not booing because hes got over as a heel, we are booing because he doesnt belong it that role,we are booin because we are thinking WTF? WTF WWE?

anyways, why is there never any discussion in here on the bad? its either love whats happening, or you dont get responses from people in here. there only john the red i have any credit for, the rest seem like kids, and crnt take the critisism of there failed WWE. whats up guys? yous carnt all think whats been goin on over the last few years is doing great buisness? great wrestling? great story lines?
ive watched wrestling for nearly 23 years now so im not just dropping by to have a pot shot at the wwe. id like that talk wrestling. but there seems to be no good to talk about, and vinve doesnt seem to care. fans now seem to just put up with the crap we are been served, have we been brainwashed that much we just tolerate the nonesense?

Hmmmmmm

"Why is there no discussion in here on the bad?" hahaha you have got to be ************ me I love how you're keen to put everyone in this thread down and your claim is the polar opposite of what really goes on in here At least do some research to back up your arguement mate else you'll look like a right tool

[-Luck-]

True. he was one of the best things about the WWE these days to be honest, which isn't saying much, but still. Do you think they were annoyed that his 'gimmick' worked out too well when it was supposed to be a punishment?

I dont know i dont think thats the reason though. I just find it weird because commercially with Brodus Clay Tshirts and stuff they could have made a fair bit of money because fans were responding really well to him. It was a fun theme and im fairly sure noone really expected him to main event, but he could have been a very solid mid card wrestler.

[GiorgosCarraGoonies]

Kassius Ohno?!
Who comes up with these names?

Is this for real?

[dagger005]

agreed the rock vs hollywood was way bigger than this. im with you though, i still watch yet i have no idea as to why . im giving mania as a last chance thing, if im left feeling the same as after the royal rumble and several live Raws then i think ill walk away and just reminisce about dynamtie kid,bret hart,benoit,austin and the rock . ah the good old days

anything with austin in is the biggest ever

[CrawleyRed]

Kassius Ohno?!

They could have made him a Yokozuna rip off and called him 'Yoko Ohno'.

santino in place of orton lol

I like Santino. He got a massive pop when he won (along with the Hogan-style getting pumped-up) as well. Be interesting to see how he acts in the chamber, if he'll try and avoid poeple like in the Battle Royale or if he'll actually out-and-out wrestle. His character is so over maybe it's time for him to step-up (not win the chamber obviously but get a decent feud going maybe an IC title shot.

Bottom line I'm happy for him.

[Liverpoolforme]

I actually enjoyed the end of the battle royal, the crowd reaction was great!!

But I have to say to the Natalya fart section, just embarrassing and not believable. A ref just would not do that.

The ref was shouting 'Why would you do that?!'

Would rather have seen Regal in there given his teacher/student relationship with D BRY

He's retired isn't he?

I seem to remember that happening.

I hope not, if he is then there was no announcement

Pretty sure he had his last match against Bryan.

Ah, apparently he's "semi-retired" and is merely taking a break.

[HeWhoShallNotBeNamed]

Ah, apparently he's "semi-retired" and is merely taking a break.

He was on Smackdown a few weeks ago.

You had me worried there.

[-JTR-]

You had me worried there.

He is retired but has requested one last TV run as a farewell.

He works backstage and with development talent.

Rumours are that the rock will appear on raw the night after mania to set up another big match for summerslam (possibly with cena again) before going off to make 2 new films.

I got a feeling rock will beat cena at mania!

Like someone said here before, someone had to have actually come up with that idea, pitched it, and people just said, "Yeah, let's go with it."

I know, shocking stuff.

I wondered how they were going to play that scenario on Smackdown and it was even worse than I imagined. The ref ran away and put his shirt over his nose like he was 5.

It's sad.

There really needs to be a third company so workers can actually say "No, now **** off" to some of the ideas.

[-Luck-]

There really needs to be a third company so workers can actually say "No, now **** off" to some of the ideas.

It'll never happen but it should. The thing that worries me though is that someone's actually said "right yeah lets put Santino in the elimination chamber match" and the rest agreed with it. I dont for the life of me understand why. Just why? What does he bring to the match and whats the point of him being there? Hes been a jobber for nearly his entire WWE career and now out of the absolute blue he's in the elimination chamber competing for the WHC. We all know he's going to get eliminated easily and everyone knows coming into the match that they'll never give him a world championship title. There's no point of him being there. The less said about the Natalya fart part, the better. Just why? Thats my only question to the WWE creative team, just why?
