You fucks really think they'd waste Emperor Roman's time with some mid-card shit like KOTR?

So what are they doing for Smackdown? Will it be live Thursday or will King of the Ring basically be Smackdown?
Lmao. Damn that's harsh.

I like when Reigns pumps his fist before every Superman punch, it's like a fighting game animation.
Smackdown will probably be a King of the RIng recap show with muted crowd reactions.
Vince: "HE SURVIVED A CHOKESLAM THROUGH TWO TABLES FROM BIG SHOW AND WON KING OF THE RING TWO NIGHTS LATER, LOVE HIM DAMNIT!"
Can't have an empire with a king, right?
hmmmmmmm
It's happening.
and IC title next. Champion vs Champion Wrestlemania 32

Lemme just say this, friends
You MAY see a Legit Shook shirt on the upcoming Tough Enough show

Most likely it will take the main event taping spot before the Smackdown tapings. So it will air almost live while Smackdown airs taped as usual.

Will you wrestle under the name Sunflower?
Been practicing. I'm gunning for a WWE writers job.
No Main Event taping tomorrow; will be King of the Ring instead.
Smackdown taping starts right after with a Reigns promo about overcoming the odds and winning King of the Ring in the biggest fight of his life.
Unless KotR is really for the IC title and Daniel Bryan is retiring tonight, I guarantee you they brought it back in such an abrupt way with zero prior promotion or word to dirtsheets just to justify Reigns being in a match with Orton and Rollins at payback.
And KotR was always supposed to elevate a midcarder to the main event. What would make Reigns look so strong? Beating a bunch of guys and beating Big Show again at the end of King of the Ring.

That breaks the no first names rule.
I can only take this to mean "The Cocky Coverboy" Ashton is getting called up to the big show.
You really think some carny company like Legit Shook LLC could afford the Cocky Coverboy's Cover Charge?

I think we need a good looking legitshook t-shirt.
I guess you have a point.
Could Legit Shook, LLC be angel investing in Miniak's aspenite table business in exchange for ad space? #synergy
just a reference to the proclivity of people referring to video games as "kideo games" in this here thread
the whole KoTR seems really really rushed I wonder what prompted it. Are they really that desperate for more Network content?

Lemme ask you this:

Supply and demand. Miniak is a hoss tier bruiser.
Check this Miniak Match, which I'm now going to portmanteau to a Miniatch.

Yep. This is precisely where Roman should be right now. It's the thing you win like, a year before you get pushed to the moon. If Roman hadn't won the Rumble and main evented Mania already, and he won KOTR right now, I doubt anyone would be complaining.
This is a great accomplishment they can give him just outside the main event scene to transition him to the main event better than they did last time.

I wish. Seth Angel waiting for that callup.
Here's his debut match with Adrian Dell vs The Swamp Men:

All in all, not bad for a debut. I think he has some potential. Needs to eat more and lift heavier but he's young, it'll come.

God, I hate this crate fad. "All shit you'll decide to toss when you move"
I bet they would do something like that.

What if King Roman asserts his divine authority and demands that Jimmy Uso gift him Naomi to celebrate his ascension?

This is just making me more excited about The Great Konami Work Swindle of 2015 that we are currently experiencing now.

those were two really big IFs. Honestly, is Roman hadn't won the Rumble and main evented wrestlemania, would people be mad that he won King of the Ring? Why?
People were mixed on Roman at worst before he won the Rumble.

I like the idea in principle, but yeah some of those crates are tacky. Also expensive to ship to UK, so in the end I never bother.
It does feel like the biggest work in the history of our Sport.

King of the Ring predictions.
Some random mid carder is getting a King gimmick and a push to nowhere.
or
Reigns Wins LOL.
Also are we ever going to get a damn update on Bryan's health?

Watching some World of Sport, Catweazle was so much fun. One of the all-time great comedy wrestlers. Also watched a young Satoru Sayama (Tiger Mask) take on Jim Breaks, one of the best rule breakers in British wrestling. Great little match, Sammy was insanely fast. GIFs;
Masterful escape of a full nelson;
Catweazle makes Mel Stuart run the ropes;

I'm currently up to Clash of the Champions II, I've done my best to watch all the shows between each event (sadly there's not a lot of them) to keep the story lines strong. It's been great to see Macho Man's introduction and build up. I know Sunny mentioned it a few months ago, but I never really picked up on how badly Macho treats Elizabeth - you do want to hate him, and I found myself liking George Steel.
WCW is hard to follow as there's no shows in between the Events to flesh out the story lines. Sting sort of appears and becomes super over straight away... and what's with the amount of blood on those damn shows! The early PPVs can't seem to go a match without someone pouring blood. Also those Skywalker Matches... holy shit. I can't decide if they're the best idea or worst idea ever.

Akira Maeda as well, he was called Kwik-Kik Lee (see what they did there? lol). Lots of the New Japan jr's had stints in the UK during their learning excursions.
