Looking at the Payback card, and I see that we already have a new IC title holder. Well, that jobber reign didn't last long. On a brighter note, Cesaro is back. Oh my.

I can ignore that he's stuck with The Miz.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

People shooting on the Snowglobe clique in here and DM is nowhere to be found. I think that says it all about who the true leader of the clique really is.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Shane only knows one level, too damn hype.

Shouts out to big pun lol

 

[imBask]

what's the Snowglobe clique and am I part of it?

 

[Guzim]

Man Matt Hardy has usually bored me to tears.

Probably only fun thing he did was feud with MVP.

Sure there was Edge/Hardy...but Edge was the whole highlight.

MattVP was great. MVP always looked out for Matt.

Why is Rusev so entertaining in everything he does?

The Miz + Maryse and Cesaro will provide good shit, trust me

Baw gawd a fucking beer truck.


Something I find interesting about cornette. My man doesn't even watch anything right now yet everyone still wants to have him speak on the products lol.

It's this cool e-club I started. You're a key member.

I miss this thread sometimes, I wish wrestling wasn't fucking trash

we need a discord chat about things that are good, like, anything else

Do you wish the Canadiens weren't fucking trash more or less than wrestling.

 

[Bluekaveli]

When Debra was in wCw, who did she manage?

YOU'LL NEVER DATE BECKY LYNCH BECAUSE SHE'S WITH A MANLET

The Horsemen in particular Mongo.

How did you not know this, Bluekaveli? I thought you were our official wrestling historian ever since strobogo died.

Hold on buddy I had to watch some of the misery of the season with my Dad who shelled out some ridiculous amount of money for streaming NHL solely to see the Canadiens lose. He was born in Canada and lived in Montreal for a long while!

I actually don't know what was worse, seeing him watch his team lose constantly while destroying his sleep schedule or watching Seth Rollins lose while destroying my sleep schedule.

Horrible season on multiple levels, there's too much pain to talk about it in depth

much like wrestling

 

[Bluekaveli]

The Horsemen in particular Mongo.

Thanks. I'll have to see that for myself.

WWF historian, get it tight Zach. I never took all of the wcw classes.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Turns out Mideon wasn't such a jobber afterall.

 

[Zach]

1.) You don't want to watch the Jarrett/Mongo/Debra saga.

2.) You disgust me.

Worst thing is we both followed along without watching at the start of the season when things were real good, noted they started losing a lot, forgot about it, watched the Winter Classic and that's when we subbed to NHL streaming.

Mistakes were made on many levels.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I guess his third eye really helped him out.

 

[Brian_FETO]

This "Straight Out Of Cleveland" gimmick jobber Aries is working

Why

Edge made everything better.

He had a better theme song

I kind of enjoyed Mattitude. Although Big Poppa Pump threw him around on his debut. Shannon Moore acting as a sacrificial lamb in his Rumble eliminations was great, too.

Lol! I don't want to see anything that deals with Jarrett tbh.

Even I disgust me at times

Version 2.0 with the Matt Facts and all that shit was great.

 

[Bluekaveli]

If all the women wanted to be Sable they would be.... Fuck it.

Good thing we don't have one of those today. Oh wait.

 

[Guzim]

Matt Hardy did have a great theme.

"Oh yeah! I can slap a tornado!"

 

[FlammableD]

Meta ROH heel Matt Hardy was real good fun:

The TNA version started off well with a Twitter rant, though I haven't watched any of it: http://www.cagesideseats.com/tna-im...ld-heavyweight-title-goes-off-on-twitter-rant

 

[Brian_FETO]

This NXT crowd is dead silent, unless they're trying to start stupid chants

 

[Bluekaveli]

I thought once Matt started wearing the tights and being evil that would've been his big push to the whc. Nahhh!

 

[Angry Grimace]

It's a random event in the middle of a convention center where they're doing wrestler autographs among other shit.

Ah, didn't realize it was still Axxess stuff.

 

[klonere]

Takeover was unbelievable but I have zero motivation to watch a bunch of filler Axxess NXT shows.

Reminds me of when I was 13 and watched Naruto. Or something like that.

 

[Angry Grimace]

If you look to the left you can see the rest of the convention center

 

[Bluekaveli]

Dr Death look like a big ass Chris Benoit

This NXT crowd is dead silent, unless they're trying to start stupid chants

I mostly don't mind the wacky chant-centric crowds of modern-day wrassle. But when I went to NXT Dallas, I did notice some lulls with weird energy, where people seemed to not know what to do. Like, they felt awkward with the quiet, looking to each other to be entertained.

The best case scenario would be a crowd that reacts to the action in the ring, that would bust out a fun chant if it made sense and felt right. I think some folks are just sitting on their hands waiting for a cue to begin a chant, which is strange.

There was one guy in particular -- totally anecdotal stuff here -- but there was this one guy who was in front of us, who was clearly by himself and would occasionally try to force a chant. He was obnoxious and occasionally distracting, but I felt bad for him. It was like he just wanted to belong, to feel togetherness.

Anyway, that's my crowd aside for the day.

 

[FlammableD]

BREAKING: Global Cruiserweight Series qualifiers confirmed for @ThisIs_Progress Wrestling event
Matches are

Zack Sabre Jr. vs Flash Morgan Webster
Jack Gallagher vs “Bruiserweight” Pete Dunne

ZSJ has suspiciously been removed from the previous list of "confirmed" participants he was on before, which is now:
-Rich Swann
-Johnny Gargano
-Tommaso Ciampa
-Noam Dar
-Akira Tozawa
-Ho Ho Lun
-Lince Dorado

I really hope Pete gets in over Jack, you've already got Zack Sabre for "Technical Brit", and Pete is doing really well lately.

You just described perfectly what I hate about chanting.

 

[Toki767]

I just read Bray was injured.

And then I watched the video of the injury.

The same exact way Harper got injured.

Also against Reigns.

So unsafe.

ZSJ is pretty much a lock, they just removed him from the official participants because they wanted to respect the promotion's qualifying matches.

 

[Zach]

You just described perfectly what I hate about chanting.

But is it worth going all in on being anti-chant?

Chants can be a lot of fun. Like that wonderful "FIGHT FOREVER" chant that I took part in. It felt right. Everyone was having a great time because of these two dudes faux-battling it out before our very eyes. We suspended disbelief and were in that moment. My hand was touching your hand, daddeh.

But the chant was born from genuine excitement. That's why it -- and others like it -- should get an unreserved pass.

 

[FlammableD]

Yeah, that's the assumption I made. Odd decision though to bother putting him in a qualifier (I assume WWE are booking those)

 

[Kaladin]

Progress probably wanted to make a big match out of ZSJ's qualifier and it may serve as his farewell to the promotion if this is a vehicle to sign him to NXT.

 

[miserable]

friends, i had a dream last night with Scott Steiner. he was selling fruits from a fruit stand. he was wearing glasses and had an apron on. i shook his hand, he smiled and told me to buy some fruit or gtfo. his fruit wasn't that great but i was afraid to refuse him. in the end i bought some grapes and left

Hmmm, when you put it like that reaching a Takeover is like the payoff point where a never ending shonen anime would actually break out the fancy animation for a big ruck after spending two months treading water.

 

[FlammableD]

Maybe? He's still supposed to be facing Ciampa at their big show in September. I agree it makes a bigger impact though.

Do you eat grapes often?
