Someone posted this a while back but Romans merch numbers were in the top 5 I believe.

...so?

Cena sells straight up the most merch and always did. Roman's merch sales as far as I can tell don't justify pushing him non-stop.

 

[Hidden One]

Why does Cesaro look like Vaudevillian?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Rusev you lucky man

I'm telling you he sang to her some Keith Sweat. Probably some "Make it last forever"

Malenko was known as "The man of 1000 holds?" I thought Jericho had that, or was there an angle between the 2 of them for that title?

Malenko was known as "The Man of 1,000 Holds." During their feud, Jericho was making fun of him, saying he was better than Malenko because he was "The Man of 1,004 Holds".

I didn't say that. I was just pointing out his merch sales are doing fine in relation to what was said. It's not like he's bombing so terribly with the fans they're not moving merch.

Roman isn't the sole problem with RAW. I think people just have product fatigue after 2 1/2 hours.

You have a point there.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Wouldn't HHH want a the third hour of RAW to be NXT related?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhh



LMAO will you be able feel you legs in the morning tho?

The day after the next.

But can you look like that while doing it?

Of course, they said I looked great cosplaying as sable.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Has anyone here tried a wrestling move as a legit defensive move for protection? (ie mugging, bullying, etc)

When wrestling was wrestling my friend.

When you say that, I'm actually thinking "Wow, nowadays current shows, specifically WWE are trying too hard to impress."

 

[RBH]

Wait, is Ryback fighting Kalisto again?

Yup, and on the pre-show again too!

 

[mhs004]

It was trash.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Yup, and on the pre-show again too!

Quite the predictable pattern.

 

[Jimmy King]

I foresee Ryback wrestling for a nazi promotion in the summer.

 

[oddjobs]

Since when was Ryback a Cowboy?

NXT season 1

Although if you want to dig deep into his origins you'd have to go back to Tough Enough in 2004

edit: It's kind of incredible how long he's been around given the amount of injuries he has, a suspension from 2006, occasional backstage heat and all. Never have really liked anything he's done, though, so I guess others see value in him.

Full Nelson, spear. My brother- in law is bad news and I promised my wife to help her out protecting my sister in law. Just wish my wife's dad had enough guts to send him to a rehab

Thank you.

 

[Recall]

Watching Royal Rumble 2010 and I'm enjoying it. Matt Striker is the drizzling shits though, I enjoy puro as much as the next internet fan but stop trying so hard Matt, stop it.

The ECW title still existing at this point is funny but I did enjoy the Christian vs Jackson match way more than I thought I would.

1004 baby!

What you know about Keith Sweat.

Anyone else kinda worried X-Pac hasn't tweeted in like a week?

Someone said he wrestled at a show Saturday. After winning be got in his knees and prayed.

One time, I was being like big bossman and threw a stick at this boys head for laughing at me when we were playing kickball and I fell. It worked, he was always intimidated of me ever since. Too bad he was a good friend of mine but I had to serve him some hard times.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Im older, so I think mid to late 80's and the reassurance of the mid to late 90's to be the best ever. Always NWA, WCW though. The only thing I liked about WWF at the time was Austin and the Rock. Jericho before he left WCW was prime, and best Jericho.

I always thought we'd see another renaissance, and it never came. Punk almost had it, but for what ever reason it never came to be. MITB 2011 was as close as we got. The Cena 2000's were the worst era of wresting in its more than 100 year history. And today we see Vince has lost his mind, and isn't playing with a full deck anymore, His creative juices dried up a long time ago.

Didn't D-Bry use a submission hold against that burglar right after WM XXX?

I myself trying to execute the Million Dollar Dream on a guy who was harassing a young woman, to be honest, I don't think I applied correctly.

In the future, I'm going to try a basic drop toe hold against a charging attacker.

a rear naked choke to be exact

yet Roman Reigns gets KO'd from a gimmick briefcase

Sad!

Well, in roman's defense, he was attacked from behind.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I'm showing my age McBlue but Keith Sweat was my era. Women loved "Nobody" Ah good times

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

That Booker T, Edge, and Christan commercial is great.

By his own admission it's one vs. all. No excuses.

How old are you? I'm 24 but grew up with it because of my parents. My grandfather who's 71 loved/s Keith lol. That's where I got my first cd from.

Honestly, my guess is that THE GUY is probably Rollins, but I have no idea if they intend to or plan to push him properly. They pushed him enough to be the top heel, but he could probably be the top guy in general if they let him.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Does Del Rio have a HoF worthy career yet?

 

[Menome]

Just back home from a double-bill showing of Alien and Aliens. First time seeing them on the big screen and it was fantastic.

Also, in case anyone had forgotten: DAMIEN SANDOW WAS ON RAW.

Have a good night everyone.

 

[Jimmy King]

Rollins will be THE GUY by default when he ends everyone's career with his carelessness.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Did he botch a move on RAW?

 

[newdayrocks]

Does Del Rio have a HoF worthy career yet?

I hope not. Del Rio is the worst. Even as El Patron in Lucha Underground, any match with him almost instantly got skipped through. I blame him for my dislike of Texano Jr.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Does Del Rio have a HoF worthy career yet?

Yep. He's done a lot in little time. Too bad he wasn't around when Eddie was alive.

KO'd?

I think the perfect way to bring him back would be during Reigns' "The Guy" catchphrase. Just as Reigns finishes, have Rollins' voice on the speakers going: "You may be The Guy, Roman, but I'm THE MAN!"

Cue music.

 

[Jimmy King]

KO'd?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6GyckTvGD8

He was legit KO'd because surely nobody would sell a fan attack like that.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Rollins will be THE GUY by default when he ends everyone's career with his carelessness.

Until he runs into unstoppable Kane once more and injures himself going for big man powerbombs.

Damn, Rollins title reign sucked.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Damn, Rollins title reign sucked.

Remember when he defeated Cena thanks to outside interference from John Stewart? gooooooooood times.
