I got no beef with this. .
Shied should eventually reform as a heel stable, and then battle against The Club.
But that's sounds too good to be true.

Liked Roman reflecting on his match against Brock at 31. A reminder of what type of mentality , business or otherwise, bleeds into the match and story itself. Looks like these two really did some shoot work on one another during their match.

Now just cut the music performances, trim the # of matches and make it closer to a 4 hour show rather than a 5 hour show. Hell, you can even add an event during the weekend and make it a Mania "pre-show" complete with a main event caliber match and scratch the day of pre-show.

Kayfabe warriors in 2017 are the bloody worst
I think Ambrose/Rollins will be a tag team later this year before they breakup and be in the title feud against each other leading to an Ambrose heel turn but the Shield as a whole will definitely rejoin. They just gotta get them all on the same brand.
I read in a WON once that they plan on having the Shield rejoin, breakup and rejoin throughout their entire careers like DX did so it's just a matter of building up opponents because we all know they're not losing as a unit.
Yup just heard this. Paul Heyman was basically, "the fans want Brock to beat the living fuck out of you."
I need to listen to part 2 today of Austin's mania review. Wade is well, kind of annoying, but fuck it I want to hear what Austin thinks.

Wade is awesome
Lol. Yeah I can't say he comes across as instantly likable. But Wrasslin' needs douchebags too.
His whole opinion of the crowd is the wrongest thing that has ever been wrong in pro wrestling.
They can boo me if they think it will make them cool with the guy sitting next to them, I'm gonna be me, boo or cheer, I don't care it's loud.
I'm paraphrasing there of course, but that's the extent and it's the dumbest thing I've heard since the last time I went down the Judge Judy rabbit hole on YouTube.

I actually disagree. Reigns sounds awesome outside the ring. He sounds exactly like many people I know IRL that I went to school with. I can't recall any problems with how he was acting on TIJ.
What did he say that made him seem like a "piece of shit douchebag" on the show? Maybe I missed it. The only thing that seems screwy I can remember is him touting the company line of "the crowd paid their money, it's ok" but they all say that.

General wrestling question - do you like "exploit the injury" matches? when a wrestler has an injury and the other wrestler just sticks to moves that hurt that area, do people like that? Is it entertaining to see someone constantly do leg or arm injuring moves almost exclusively for an entire match?
I've always thought those matches were really boring. I'm curious what others think.

it's just the way he talks, the way he bloats about money and getting paid, the way he talks about his looks, the way he seems to not give a fuck about anything or anyone, the way he talks about the crowd and the fans is just a little off
he's a guy I would NEVER want to be friends with basically
I don't know about piece of shit douchebag, but for sure there is some arrogance there. But hey that is actually an assest as a wrestler.

Psychology brother. Some times it can be boring but it works. What sucks is when you work the part the entire match but your opponent just won't sell for shit so you have to legit beat their ass.

I think some wrestlers can do it well, but for the most part it's really boring. Sami Zayn and Kenny Omega do it pretty well and I'm hard-pressed to think of others.

Shoot: AJ & Roman will put on a good series of matches
Double shoot: They will be hated because we'll get them every week for the next 8 weeks instead of building to one big match

So he's like Brock Lesnar.
It depends on how they work it. If it's just the other wrestler working the injury and the match ends, yeah, it's boring. If they tell a story using the injury then that can be interesting.

If thy are done well... Suzuki/Okada was nuts and even though I might not have loved the finish it was still amazing.
I loved both Roode/Nakamura matches because of the work the body part factor.
HHH/Rollins didn't do as well as the above matches but I still think it added to the match

I love the mirroring touch of kid Ryder holding Hall's IC belt and retired Hall holding Ryder's IC belt.
Yeah, I posted it earlier. I think it makes sense because anything outside of WWE is non-canon anyway so instead of being broken, he could have been made a SAVAGE from being out in the wilderness for so long.

God damn. Manio 21 was lit as all fuck minus 2 matches. And even then the Akebono/Big Show match is worth a watch.

Rough Ryder and Razor Ramon
Booker's obsession with going Hollywood was great.

If it's just somebody kicking a guy in the knee for 20 minutes, then yeah I find it boring. There are ways of working a body part and still be interesting though. Tanahashi is a guy who I think does it extremely well, he knows how to shut his opponent down at just the right moment.
Yeah, Tana's use of the dragon screws late in his WK9 match with Okada was awesome, loved it

If AJ's going to Raw and Roman's not moving, I guess they're trading Seth over. I'm not sure I really like that.

I should watch that match again sometime, it's been ages. He did a really great job in the match at WK10 too, Tana has really great psychology in general.
Seth could use some better booking and space to talk in a not so controlled environment.
Storyline wise it makes sense for Seth to move over to Smackdown. Shane would probably want him on his show since Seth inadvertently took out Steph and beat HHH. Seth could use the fresh start anyway.
AJ going to Raw means we could get AJ/Sami, AJ/KO, AJ/Balor, and honestly AJ/Roman worked before

Roman is like Cena in that he can have amazing matches with good opponents.
Indeed it was. Remembering now.
I agree
For me this type of thing looks extremely fake, even for a fake sport
And I hate how Sami does this shit in 90% of his matches
