Pro Wrasslin' Thread: I don't know what I just saw

[nachobro]

I'd love to check it out

[Human Snorenado]

Yeah, let me know. I'll get a couple copies for friends, sounds like it would be a really good gift for some of the wrestling obsessed lunatics I know.

[Himu]

Trying to get back into wrasslin. Been hard since Daniel Bryan retiring. But recent events interest me. Just need to catch up I guess.

TVC, if Flair vs Dusty feud is on the network watch that. Flair vs Sting is a classic feud and I watched most or all of it on the network. This is a good place to start for summaries/dates/tv matches.

The title of the article says Sting vs Flair is the best feud. Don't pay attention to the article title as that is actually Okada vs Tanahashi.

It should also have Flair vs HBK, his final match.

And I'm interested.

[Himu]

I can't post the link without my post going blank so I will pm you

I really miss wrestling.

[Himu]

Can't believe I forgot Steamboat and Funk. Good calls.

[TVC15]

I forgot how awful Dusty Rhodes looked. That dude has definitely touched children.

[Himu]

why all the talk about Flair? Did he die?

[Himu]

I really liked that 30 for 30. Thanks Stro.

[TVC15]

I thought Trips and Hogan seemed surprisingly pretty cool in it.

[TVC15]

Haha, These 80s NWA matches are filled with blade jobs.

[Himu]

I just can't stand Hogan. The tape changed my perception of him.

[TVC15]

You’re going to let the Hulkster fuck you and you’re going to like it, Himu.

Also, that 911 call was brutal

[nachobro]

Nice knowing you, Jason Jordan

[Himu]

I want jason jordan's dick so bad

yes daddy <3 I would gladly help him recover. Every day, in his bed.

Still the hottest guy I have ever seen after all these years. OMG.

[Himu]

Please let me cook for you and help you heal Jason

[FunSlower]

I need to get on that Flair 30 for 30. Fuck.

Also, Jason Jordan looks like he needs a controlling hand to help him find his personality. Use that hand, Cindi.

[nachobro]

That Flair doc had me tearing up, man. Some of that shit was just too much. I couldn't listen to the 911 call

[Rise]

that figure four montage 

[bork]

Nice knowing you, Jason Jordan

This segment was so cringe worthy in the best way.     Jordan's horrible fake-crying and Angle just standing there while HHH gave Jordan a pedigree was


This is clearly to set up a match between HHH and Angle for later (Mania?), but it made Angle look like a weak little bitch, which is pretty bad going into Survivor Series. 

[bork]

Charlotte is now the SD women's champ and will face Alexa Bliss at Survivor Series.

It was SO drawn out. Jordan got berried.

[nachobro]

On the flip side the Shield, Angle, and Strowman all made Shane look like a little bitch last night. I dunno if they were stretching for time or what, but they beat him up for like 10 minutes on TV

[fistfulofmetal]

I was actually kind of surprised that HHH didn't come out to attack Shane? But I guess they're holding off on that confrontation for Sunday.

[nachobro]

A Cena/HHH faceoff would have been cool but I suppose that is best saved until Sunday

End of an era

[Himu]

Does he have a chin?

[nachobro]

Nope, that's why his finisher is the No Chin Music

[TVC15]

Nice knowing you, Jason Jordan

Trips getting hotter every year.

[fistfulofmetal]

When Carmella dumped him I should have seen it coming.

[bork]

Is the plan for Jason Jordan to turn heel now?  I see speculation that he's going to do something at Survivor Series to cost Team Raw the match, but if he just does something to set up a feud with Angle, uh...?  He should be going after HHH.

Does he have a chin?

His chin is still there on a 10 year contract.

[Trent Dole]

Nice knowing you, Jason Jordan

Trips getting hotter every year.

[nachobro]

It's surprising, cause Booker should be loving Jason. After all, he's looking REAL JACKED BABY

[Himu]

Booker is just jealous he's not as fine as him. Marry me Jason!!!

[TVC15]

Booker is just jealous he's not as fine as him. Marry me Jason!!!

Jason, girl? Jason Jordan? The dude’s about as sexy as a piece of toast with a hole in it without butter. There’s no character there. What are you seeing that I’m not?

A very attractive man who will ravage me into the night.

His character is the super sweet athletic guy who is trying to do well at work but it's not working, and I'm really rootng for him

[nachobro]

1. Real jacked
2. Excellent package
3. Sweet smile

I swear you’re too hung up on “sweet” things!

[TVC15]

Out of all black wrestlers I'm pretty sure TVC would fuck 2 Cold Scorpio.

New Jack, baby.

I used to like Bad News Brown, too.

[nachobro]

JYD #1, suckas!



(ty for making the gif, stro)

[Momo]

I dont watch wrestling except for wrestle kingdom, we doing a thing for WK this year?

[Himu]

junkyard dog was hype

he could really get a pop. That man never getting the championship belt is a travesty.

[TVC15]

Wait, I forgot about Slickster, but I think he was only a manager. Does he count?

[seagrams hotsauce]

Stro, Takeover worth watching?

[bork]

Takeover was a pretty great show.  The Wargames match itself was fantastic and I actually stopped what I was doing to fully-watch it, which is something I almost never do.  Pretty much everybody looked good and had their moments to shine.  AOP and Kilian Dane in particular looked incredibly strong here.  The undercard was pretty good too, although the women's match felt rushed and I ended up checking out from it and didn't really pay attention.  Looked up and Ember Moon was the new champion.   Asuka popped up to celebrate with her too.

Looks like Drew got hurt pretty badly and may be out for a while?  Kind of sucks since it seems like he was probably about to be called up.

Also there was a fuck-up during the Wargames match where Adam Cole and AOP were about to do something, looked over and noticed that the screen was doing a replay, and they all waited until it was over to continue.   

[nachobro]

Yeah Drew got a torn bicep. Getting injured really is shitty but I'm okay with a delay on him, dude is boring af.

Show was great though. Liked the Wargames match quite a lot, the ladies match was fun, Lars Sullivan was cool, and the Dream/Black match was a really fun watch. Lots of neat little bits and funny spots in that match. I really enjoyed it.

[bork]

Liked Survivor Series overall, too.   Didn't really care about Miz/Corbin (did anybody?) and tuned out for Charlotte/Alexa.   The women's SS match was OK but I just wanted to see Asuka and she was pretty awesome.  Bayley did pretty well out there too- I almost got a bit of a heel vibe from her and I think a turn would work well.  Just change up the hairstyle and she's ready. 

The "first time" stuff is what I liked the most.  Nia and Tamina in the ring together, Asuka kicking all the SD women's asses, and the main event with some first timers like Braun, Joe, Roode, and Nakamura in there made things fun.  Didn't like how quickly the latter two were taken out of the match but Shinsuke in particular was awesome out there.  Everyone did pretty well in the main event.

The ending was just...lol.  The look on Braun's face after HHH took out Angle was priceless.    Seriously made no sense to me, even though I know it was just done to set up HHH as the bad guy against Angle and Jordan.  It just didn't look right and the entire arena was stunned.  I was hoping it was Jordan who would turn heel and cost Raw the match, but them going the other way was fine, too- and we got Sami and KO running in as part of the deal. 

[nachobro]

Brock and AJ was an entertaining match too. Brock was throwing AJ all over the ring and surrounding areas, yet AJ still managed to put in a credible office. Some of those early release suplexes were insane though. The forearm to F5 was expected but still was pretty cool to see in action.

[Human Snorenado]

Bork/AJ was really good but due to the way everything was booked and laid out with the match count won for each side, it telegraphed who was going to win that match from a mile away, which took some of the shine off it IMO. Usos/Bar was also great, enjoyed getting to see Asuka kick ass in the women's match, and Charlotte/Alexa was ok. New Day/Shield was alright I guess. The only matches that I thought weren't all that great were Corbin/Miz and the main event, which was "entertaining" but kinda meh.

[seagrams hotsauce]

Brock and AJ was cool and everything else sucked

[nachobro]

Booker's commentary seems even more bizarre than normal tonight. 

[bork]

So...Asuka wins the RAW PPV match for her team last night...


...and they have a segment with multiple women challenging for the title without her?

[bork]

HOLY SHIT WWE FINALLY LET PAIGE COME OUT from the back where they haven't used her for a while

[bork]

Two NXT call-ups came with her?


Haven't seen either before.  Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose.  Sonya has a pretty unique look.  Mandy is another cookie-cutter blonde.  Are they any good?

[bork]

So this new trio stops the fatal four match for a title challenger and then beats up Alexa Bliss in the back.  Wow, stuff actually happening with the Raw women's division?!  Are the writers feeling ok? 

[nachobro]

Sonia is a fake MMA lady but they had to get her out of NXT cause there's a real MMA lady there now. I dig her though.Mandy Rose is okay. She did well on Tough Enough for whatever that's worth.

[bork]

I just like Asuka.  Sometimes the others show flashes of something good (besides their rear ends, lolol), but I typically don't care all that much.  Smackdown does better and will at least keep my attention with the actual matches.

[bork]

Booker: "Does the Miz look scared to you!?"
Corey: "He's wearing sunglasses indoors, Booker, you can't tell!"

[bork]

Booker's commentary seems even more bizarre than normal tonight. 

Booker and Byron Saxton were both pretty out of it or just plain bad last night especially.  Everybody just shits on Saxton. 

[bork]

Roman is the new IC champ!!!!
