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

[archie4208]

Did you watch the G1 Special, Stro? Was Omega able to drag Cody to a decent match this time?

It was okay, but they had to pull out a lot of gimmicks.

Jay White of all people had MOTN.

Steiner in his prime was a great amateur wrestler and a very innovative extremely well built agile pro wrestler. He stuck up for the boys against hot headed promoters Bill Watts. Great wreslters like Ric Flair & Triple H sandbagged matchs against him just to keep him down. He had no problem ripping golden promo against them. If you think he hasn't garnered & deserves respect from the boys. I think the fans can give him the respect and support because he needs us. He stood up against that bigot racist Hogan years before the truth came pub

[Human Snorenado]

"Golden" promos, to be sure

[Human Snorenado]

Pure gold

Pure gold

I don’t think a Steiner promo has ever failed to entertain me greatly. That’s gold, even if it’s often unintentional gold.

Extreme Rules:

NAKAMURA VS. JEFF HARDY FOR THE U.S. TITLE FIRST TIME EVER HYPE IT UP WWE

Nakamura comes out and low blows Jeff, then the match starts and he pins him.   

OH SHIT RANDY ORTON IS BACK TO FUCK UP SHIN

HAHA SWERVE Orton continues to beat up Jeff for no reason, then just leaves.

[bork]

Roman loses again


Are they still seriously going to have him go over Lesnar at Summerslam?

I don’t know what you’re upset about. Vince’s tweaking of Nakamura’s gimmick into “Japanese dude that likes touching pee-pee” is great.

we can only hope. the brock lesnar project wore out its welcome like two years ago. enough already

i just woke up from a nap. im assuming that Hogan hasn't come out yet right

[TVC15]

I was hoping he’d come out after Lashley’s match and be like, “Brother, you can fuck my daughter anytime.” And then his skank daughter would walk out in lingerie, do a sexy little strut to the ring, and walk backstage arm-in-arm with Lashley as Real American hits. Hogan would feel her ass as they walked by.

[seagrams hotsauce]

  jesus

wait so is this the main event? fucking dolph ziggler?

also Stro what's Sanjuro's deal? i know he sucks normally but he's in the ppv thread saying "of course Rollins is racist, he's as racist as Ziggler" as if those things are just a given

[seagrams hotsauce]

what the fuck even is this match. 7 falls in 15 minutes?

[bork]

What's this about Hogan?

TVC, not upset at the Nakamura match, just scratching my head at the booking.  What was the point of all that? 

wait so is this the main event? fucking dolph ziggler?

Thought it was over after the AJ/Rusev match and then found out this was left- LOL.  Might as well be over early then.

[bork]

Oh, this:

Hulk Hogan is backstage at the PPG Paints Arena. Hogan wrote on Twitter hours before the start of Extreme Rules that he met with the locker room and formally apologized for his racist comments in 2015. It is unknown when or if he will be returning to TV.

We go to Charly Caruso backstage, who discusses Hulk Hogan being reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame and that he is mingling backstage. She says that it's great to have "The Hulkster back in the family. She talks about an encounter she had with James Ellsworth earlier and says she was disgusted by him.

"Disgusted" by Ellsworth but not by Hogan

I’d imagine whatever the point was, it also applies to this horrendously booked Ironman match.

[bork]

The dirtsheets are saying that Hogan hasn't signed any new deals to appear with the company, but there is enough time after this snoozer main event for him to come out, I guess.

[bork]

I don’t know what you’re upset about. Vince’s tweaking of Nakamura’s gimmick into “Japanese dude that likes touching pee-pee” is great.

And now with Orton stomping on balls, I guess we have a new tag team and gimmick- The Nutbusters.

[seagrams hotsauce]

this is profoundly dumb even by wwe standards. 7 of 8 falls in the first fifteen minutes, then both dudes steel up til the last minute of the match. rollins then pulls ziggler back in with a minute left instead of winning via countout. jesus christ

[bork]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Kurt please don't restart the match

pls

[bork]

Aw fuck,  more of this shit

[seagrams hotsauce]

fuck we're gonna get this bullshit twice in a row aren't we

[TVC15]

Yassss! I’m just glad Seth didn’t win.

[bork]

Never mind, it ended again 

[seagrams hotsauce]

thank god, though also incredibly dumb lol

[seagrams hotsauce]

oh god lololololol

[bork]

And that's how it ends

LMAO.  I should have turned this off after the SD main event.

[TVC15]

Dolph doesn’t get enough respect or credit and Seth gets way too much. That’s why me rikey, although I’m sure Seth will win round 2 because WWE will want to please its stupid mouth-breathing fans that count down every minute like it’s the Royal fucking Rumble.

[seagrams hotsauce]

dolph sucks and that ending was dumb

[Trent Dole]

Roman loses again

'Loses a bunch' is usually how they build up future world champs so probably. WWE is very stupid.

[bork]

Vince's plan to make Lesnar hated, by doing the whole "He doesn't give a fuck because he's going back to UFC" thing, might be working now, but it's still not going to help at all to make the crowd like Reigns.  I don't understand why Vince would even think that. 

I'm no Lashley mark, but let him have the match against Brock and win the belt.  Then have Roman go heel and get Heyman as his manager.  Use that nuclear heat in a good way already.

[nachobro]

Quit watching last night after AJ/Rusev (which was really excellent, favorite match of the night), but what I saw last night was pretty good. KO getting tossed off the cage was scary af, Shinsuke still loves punching dicks, Lashley and Roman actually had a good match imo and I didn't expect to see Lashley winning.

I guess Kane actually has a broken ankle, which is why they sent him out with the big ass boot on but it was so fucking ridiculous looking.

Because Vince McMahon is a 70 year old senile white republican that firmly believes everything that ever worked in WWE was because of him, and everything that ever failed was someone else's fault

[bork]

Even thickheaded Vince has got to see that Roman isn't the top guy they should be pushing (at least as a face).

[bork]

Cena never got a heel turn in spite of a decade of boos. Roman will be the same way, might as well accept it now and ignore his matches like I do.

Cena got a mix of boos and cheers, usually the cheers came from kids and women- it doesn't seem like they are behind Roman.  Cena's merchandise sales were always insane, which I always read was a big reason why he was never turned heel.  Don't see reports that Roman's mechandise sales are on top.

Dude needs to go heel and needs his look/music changed.  Seth and Dean lost the "Shield" look but Roman is still going with it...why?

[nachobro]

there's a new top guy in town now, brothers

same as the old top guy

also last night roman was getting the dueling "lets go roman/roman sucks" chants. been a while since i heard some pro-roman chants.

They must have piped those in
 

The only chant I remember hearing were Rusev day chants during another match.  Forget which one it was.

Dude has the look (™ Robby Boberts), but desperately needs a mouthpiece.  His voice just doesn't fit. 

[nachobro]

there were rusev day chants in the beginning of the lashley/roman match when roman was dominating. i think they were happening in one of the earlier pre-show matches too, but i was making dinner at that point and only half paying attention.

So if the Sasha/Bayley team loses the next match, one of them is being "shipped off to Smackdown" as punishment.  Fucking finally.  They needed to be broken up for a while now.

Still making it out to be the B show, though?

lol, a friend of mine is  at the thought of this happening, especially without a big send-off match.

They're gonna job to Dana Brooke and Alicia Fox

[bork]

Wait, was that a DQ?  WTF just happened? 

[bork]

Bob vs. Ramen next week for the number one contender's spot.

Guess now we know why Ramen lost last night

Reigns vs. Brock at Summerslam

Please make it a triple threat main event.  That's got to be better than another fucking match between those two.  I like that the storyline for the Raw women's championship is that Ronda got suspended and then has been rewarded with a title match for it.

not watching raw

KO, Matt Hardy, and Ronda is all I'd want to watch for anyway

[Sideshow Raheem]

I keep waiting for Carmella to pull off her mask and reveal Eva Marie.

I'm sure she has compromising pictures of Jack Tunney.

[TVC15]

I’m okay with Carmella. She’s one of the few ladies with a personality that stands out.  In her case, just barely, but it’s enough.

[bork]

I like Carmella.


Needs to definitely work on her ring skills, but absolutely stands out as having more of a personality than a lot of the other women.  I don't think she'd be a very good face but she's a good chicken-shit heel.

[bork]

It's time for Lana to drop the accent- you could hear it coming and going when she was talking to Aiden English last night. 

The main event predictably was a repeat of Sunday, only with an actual match happening first- Orton came out to attack Jeff.  That earring pull stuff looked nasty.  I guess heel Orton is OK but is he needed?  They've got some strong heels already with Miz, Joe, and Rusev to go alongside Nakamura.

[nachobro]

AJ vs Almas was fantastic, El Idolo da bes. Mandy Rose is still lovely. I really want them to do something with Becky, and that Miz promo was both hilarious and awesome. I kinda stopped paying attention after that.

Also Lana's accent is a weird thing. She doesn't use it in commercials that air during Raw and Smackdown, but then sorta half uses it on TV and doesn't use it at all for Total Divas. 

[seagrams hotsauce]

i'm glad you guy are mentioning the accent cuz that really stuck out to me too. for a minute i thought she had just dropped it entirely but she would randomly throw it on her Rs towards the end.

Mandy Rose's theme is really catchy

[bork]

Was kinda hoping the Sasha/Bailey thing was gonna be legit and one of them would go to SD...and then Becky would go to Raw.  But they wouldn't use her there, either.

Also Lana's accent is a weird thing. She doesn't use it in commercials that air during Raw and Smackdown, but then sorta half uses it on TV and doesn't use it at all for Total Divas. 

They should just have her drop it and do a Kofi Kingston style joke about it or something.

Mandy Rose's theme is really catchy

Yeah, it is!  And then she starts wrasslin' and I stop caring about her.
