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

[bork]

Braun continues to be the best wrestler in the business.

[bork]

NICHOLAS TAGGED IN!

[dkdk]

they shouldve let nicholas get some offense in 

[bork]

New gimmick for Braun with a different audience member every week?

[seagrams hotsauce]

Was hoping Braun would toss him on top of one of them for the pin. Also might have been the only match I was actually hoping to see Cesaro do the swing

[bork]

Does Vince really think that the crowd is going to magically mark out for Roman kicking out of an F5 and pinning Lesnar?

[bork]

CM Punk chants 

[dkdk]

Asuka and Nakamura both win the Rumbles...

...and both lose at Mania.

Vince gonna Vince

[bork]

"Boring" chants now.  Wow.

[bork]

"This is awful" chants.

Both of these main events are the worst matches on the card.

[dkdk]

jfc roman is leaking

[bork]

BROCK RETAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bork]

I guess this explains Dana White being there now?  They're gonna let Brock go to UFC to fight as WWE champ?

[El Babua]

bork pls 

[TVC15]

I’m on a hot streak. Jesus listened to my prayers so we get more Heyman.

Holy shit, from looking at results, this was a swerve-y Wrestlemania.

[archie4208]

The show was pretty good until the Smackdown tag match.  Then it fell off a fucking cliff.  AJ/Nakamura was a massive letdown and holy shit just pull the trigger on Roman already.

Braun Strowman's mystery partner at WrestleMania 34 last night is reportedly WWE official John Cone's son. Strowman picked the "fan" from the audience and then proceeded to team up with him in the match, ultimately winning both the bout and the Raw tag team titles. Below is a picture with Strowman, John Cone and his son after the match:

...So why did Braun need to walk around for five minutes to find the kid?  They couldn't put him in the front row? 

[bork]

Y'all ready for another 3 hours of Raw tonight! .


 

Although the Raws after Mania can often be entertaining if the crowd is good enough.

[nachobro]

That was a long as fuck show but I liked every match that wasn't a battle royale or the US title match. Bummed that Asuka lost though

Kinda wish the kid pinned Cesaro. Rousey fucking killed it. I'm kinda hungover. That's about it.

[archie4208]

lol no

Paul’s promo is going to be epic

spoiler (click to show/hide)

if he shows up

[close]

I watched everything up to Undertaker. What a great ending to that, uh, feud? Was that a feud? I don’t know. Anything worth checking out after that? Was AJ/Nak so weak it’s skippable?

[nachobro]

IF he was a plant? Come the fuck on, even they aren't that stupid

[nachobro]

 

fwiw it seems Nicholas is the son of one of the refs

Matt being helped to win by Bray was

This one actually made sense since he was knocked into the river of resurrection or whatever the fuck Hardy called the water in his backyard and was "purified" after their Final Deletion match.



I'm sure Wyatt will be back to a heel in no time. 

[bork]

"Xenophobia" might be the wrong word to use here, but...both Japanese wrestlers not getting the belts?  It does make you wonder. 

Asuka/Charlotte stuff:

-- It was noted on the Wrestling Observer Radio that Asuka was forbidden to use the armbar in her match against Charlotte because it was Ronda Rousey's finisher that she would be using in her match. The loss last night also seems to imply that the plan for Asuka vs. Ronda Rousey is likely off and instead WWE will build towards Charlotte vs. Rousey, possibly as the main event of next year's WrestleMania 35.

-- It was also speculated that perhaps the reason WWE decided to end Asuka's undefeated streak is that it will be easier to book her moving forward and for the time being she will remain on Raw.

  Would rather have Asuka/Ronda.

BORK LASER:

-- According to a report at prowrestlingsheet.com, Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar got into a verbal altercation after the conclusion of the main event at WrestleMania. While full details are unknown, the report says that Lesnar was "livid" after returning backstage, which did not sit well with McMahon. They further state that Lesnar proceeded to then throw his WWE Universal title belt either at McMahon directly or at a wall before walking away.

-- The @WrestleVotes Twitter account relays a related story, saying that Brock had words with people backstage after the match but it did not get physical as others stepped in to ensure that the situation did not escalate. This report does not specifically name McMahon.

-- If the above is true, it is unclear what exactly would have caused the issues but there are rumors that perhaps Lesnar went off script towards the end of the match against Roman Reigns or it's also possible that WWE officials were not happy at his stiff elbow that caught Reigns and lead to a ton of blood spilling out.

[bork]

Oh is that what happened? I thought he got knocked into the lake and like kind of drowned and therefore Matt won the match

IIRC Bray got knocked into the "Lake Of Reincarnation" (had to google it!) which was supposed to purify him and remove Sister Abigail from his body.  Then he was kept off TV and the dirtsheets said it was so he could be repackaged.

...That didn't happen. 

The other part of it worth mentioning is that Senor Benjamin couldn't find Bray's body in the water and he disappeared.  Which I could easily see being the explanation of how Wyatt escaped purification and it was a ruse and blah blah blah all that build up and we get that shit in a battle royal on a fucking pre-show.

They probably wanted to make sure that at least one person in the feud was okay on the mic.

Streaks suck. It was nice to see Asuka’s unexpectedly end.

Raw:

Ember Moon called up!

RAW IS NICHOLAS

Braun and Nicholas relinquish the belts


No Way Jose called up (Should I be excited?)

Bork, TVC, get your lives. Are you really watching 3 hours more wrestling tonight?

(Image removed from quote.)

I’ll watch Paul for both of us, baby.

Isn’t post-WM usually a worthwhile one?

Well when it's over, make sure to let me know if you think you spent your time well watching it

It won’t be that bad. At worst, it’s extra background audio as I murder hillbillies in Far Cry.

[bork]

Isn’t post-WM usually a worthwhile one?

There was one post-WM Raw like five years ago (?) when the crowd was just apeshit the whole night and hijacked the show with their chants.  WWE had to acknowledge it and they've tried to play it up like it's all a part of the show, but it has never been as insane as that Raw was if memory serves.  But it's also nice to see various debuts happen.  Glad to see the superstar shake-up is next week too.

[nachobro]

  No Way Jose

Also Stro you aren't allowed to show disgust at people for watching wrestling. You're watching Thunder my dude

[bork]

I think it was this Raw?

[nachobro]

oh is that all it takes? in that case i'm definitely trash for watching raw

[bork]

[bork]

Dunno what it is, but she looks 20 years older lately.

[dkdk]

mandy rose also why does paige look like a monster person?

she quit giving af after she couldnt wrestle anymore.

[TVC15]

What’s a Paige? I’m assuming one of the four dozen lady wrestlers with identical characters.

[bork]

She retired? No wonder she sounded like she sounded like calling the battle royal.

Yeah, makes a lot more sense now.  Why did they even put her out there? 

[dkdk]

also whoever does her makeup now got her fucked up

old paige

[bork]

Kurt to Owens and Zayn: "My tag team division is full.  But I hear TNA is hiring."

[bork]

AY OH PEE

[nachobro]

That's why its full, duh

But imagine saying your tag division is full and then having Slater and Rhino show up on tv. Probably some fat to trim on the roster

[bork]

Are we going to get this crap for another two weeks?
