Been thinking about the whole Enzo as a draw thing:

I don't think people are tuning in to see Enzo the wrestler, but rather to see Enzo get his shit kicked in. Still technically a draw, but not in a good way I guess

Enzo roasting the cruiserweights is the only WWE segment I've bothered watching in months.

I just wanted to post some classic Memphis territory. And show the legend of Lance Russell.

When Vince was said to love seeing Enzo get thrown around, and people were all upset about it, well, who was truly right in the end?

Vince. People love seeing Enzo get thrown around.

McMahon wins.

I can honestly see why Vince loves to see Enzo get his ass beat. It's enjoyable.

 

[Sephzilla]

Getting beat up and thrown around has been Enzo's thing since NXT, it's nothing new.

Thank you for your contribution, Pupperbabysassy. Have you hit us with an all-time Fave Five yet?

Enzo being a shitbag outside the ring certainly increases my enjoyment of watching him get thrown around.

Thanks for these links. Most folks don't even know who he is, but man, he's fantastic.

Holy fuck, King of Pro Wrestling 2012 must have been the 2012 show of the year. There are just so many entertaining and dramatic matches.

The billed triple main event went above and beyond my expectations and the undercard is exceptionally solid with the IWGP Jr Title match standing out the most.

Main event is just wild, Suzuki had that belt within his grasp and just would not give up, incredible performance!

Yes, yes!

tbh, its the wwe problem, pretty much everybody on the roster is better as a heel.

If you are a fan of Vince McMahon, you need to watch McMemphis ASAP!!!!!!

Sukuki vs Tana is one of the great matches of history

Oh yeah, definitely seen it before. It's fantastic. I can't believe he sat on that idea for YEARS before re-unleashing it in WWE. He was wonderful.

Great writeup of it over on legitshook.com as well, Stro.

 

[BiggNife]

Man, if the rumors are right about Hell in a Cell I might just skip it. Sounds like Battleground all over again.

 

[Pikma]

Vince. People love seeing Enzo get thrown around.

McMahon wins.

If by winning you mean having to give tickets away for free to make people watch Enzo get thrown around live, yeah Vince wins.

 

[Zach]

, Stro.

Heh. You funny.

 

[Data West]

I'm interested in ACO too just because of the setting

which is 99% of why I play those games but it can wait til sales

Enzo is everyone's favorite punching bag.

 

[FlammableD]

As expected. Should be p good though.

 

[Hasney]

And judging by the number of people that show up for Smackdown right now, seem to even have trouble giving them away.

Hell, the network is even free for 3 months now!

Fave five wrestlers?

I'm on the edge of my seat here.

Wesley Richards ✔@RichardsWesley
Pro wrestlers asking for money through GFM due to injuries sustained.........from wrestling. Y'all didn't know it was dangerous going in? 🤔

Good guy Davey Richards getting upset about a wrestler making a Go Fund Me after tearing his dick and not being able to work wrestling or his day job for at least a month. Totally a thing you expect getting into the business

I really do.

[excelsiorlef]

Given the look of The Bar, I find it a great fit with Miz to be honest. They both have a better swagger and 'muscle' factor than the Miz-tourage. Miz's mic work can help them both go even further. I dunno, just really like the idea of them as a trio

Same

Where's a pic of Maryse?

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Urgh, now seen that raw segment. wwf trying to canonise the warrior is super, super gross and totally expected of them.

So sad to hear about Lance Russell passing away. From all accounts one of the absolute nicest guys in wrestling. I've only seen a small amount of his work back when the wrestling channel (I think) used to show memphis wrestling.

Is there anywhere that sells memphis wrestling from the golden age in a seasonish format (given how heavily serialised it was)?
