Brock Lesnar's suplex city mode reminds me of the Wwe Gamecube games when you activate your finisher mode and spam it as many times as possible. Shame we won't get to witness the glory again till Summerslam.

You know that, and I know that, but Vince thinks that every other wrestling promotion out there has the potential to become the next WCW and kill off his business for good.
It's not even that big in Japan any more.
I don't think he knows much of it. He's a territory raised fan.

She was good in her role at the beginning but I think she's dragging Rusev down at this point. I know a lot has been given to Rollins' improved promos on the mic but Rusev's ascent is just as good if not even better. The guy is top notch right now.

Should be a great show.
Also, for those that don't know, Bill Goldberg works for this company: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIELiAEW3ZY
That's right.
I still think he needs to come back and get a ticket and sit in the stands like Scott Hall.

Picture a gif of every Taylor hand heart and that is the big heart I'm sending your way, friend. Keep doing and being you, and we hope to see more of it in here <3

Would be great, I can see that happening for one show before Summerslam before he jumps the rail and demands his rematch by threatening to kill someone like the other night.
It really says something when NXT stars in developmental connect with the audience better than main roster stars.
What? I'm pretty sure the more logical explanation is that Vince doesn't see any benefit at all to bringing NJPW to WWE. Why help the competition when they have so much more to gain? You're talking about NJPW getting the benefit of increased exposure from the biggest wrestling company in the world in a huge market like NA vs the WWE only getting exposure for the smaller Japanese market. The small benefit in the WWE side becomes even more moot when they can get a foothold in that market with just one or two big talent acquisitions from Japan like they are doing with KENTA. Not to mention all the marketing work the WWE has to put in to get viewers not only acquainted with NJPW talent, but to make them into people worth caring about. Its just a whole lot of effort for peanuts in gains for the WWE.

I'm not a huge fan of the word-for-word repeat promos when guys come into the ring. Reminds me of some DX/New Age Outlaws shit. Granted it does indicate that the dude is pretty damn over.
Lucha Underground is really great. Glad you decided to give it a shot, it really deserves all the praise it's getting.
I hope it stays around for a long time, Season 2 is pretty much a given if rumors are correct, so I'm hopeful.
Which is the proper business decision.
If there is a season 2 right now it won't be taped till 2016 with the first season ending in August.
Plus why is TNA using crappy drawings for there match graphics?
Is it, though? The last time WWE was on top of the world and hotter than it has ever been before, and after, were when they had legitimate competition.
Business wise, you might think having no competition is what's best, but that's debatable given the history.
i miss your essays, friend.
and i had no idea glory was tonight, funny how wrasslegaf is more excited than mma-gaf by mere virtue of not being a near dead community.
Does it have seasons and take breaks like regular TV shows or will it be throughout the year like most wrestling?
I'm not quite sure to be honest, they have done more tapings, so it'll be around for a while more. But given they treat it like a TV show, I would imagine there is a point where they take a break.
But there's nothing official on it, might be they run it around the year like a regular wrestling company and just go to "Season 2" in the fall.
That was 2 companies legitimately at war. Promoting your own competition to create competition is dumb.
I also like that unlike NXT and TNA, I haven't been able to get spoilers for the Lucha tapings.....and I hope to avoid them.

Thanks for linking this, I really enjoyed the different style, I can see how some of it has been incorporated by some of the younger wrestlers. Always cool to see a different style of the sport.I know not everyone's a fan of the British wrestling style, but if you've never seen it before spare 10 or so minutes to watch this great little match with a young Dynamite Kid defending his British Light Heavyweight Title against veteran Tony Scarlo. Some fantastic hold-for-hold stuff here, plus Dynamite gets to show flashes of his speed and agility. Scarlo's a delight to watch as well, everything he does is so smooth and he sells in that great understated sort of way a lot of the old British guys did. Well worth a watch, friends;
Dynamite Kid (c) vs Tony Scarlo - British Light Heavyweight Title - (World of Sport 1977/10/13)
No way! Kayfabe performance tweets are hilarious.
Also considering Infosec Taylor Swift is so well liked I'd argue it's best for business too.
I hope they do it.
Can be the new bathroom break!
I wish Show would transition from the ring to the comm team full time soon, I found him hilarious as colour!
That would work fine. Rusev is a big guy who can eat a spear and a superman punch and keep kicking, would be a fun contest of stamina.
Obsidian game. They could spend decades polishing and still have tons of stuff to do. Awesome developer who bite off just a tiny bit too much and end up with amazing products that and area or two that needs attention post release.
I was a big fan but she'd given up a while back. Very interested to see where she goes from here.
Really fucking weird the WWE app sent me a notification about this. First notification I've EVER got from the app on my phone...
Love you too Vince! Don't stop believing.
If Total Divas has taught me at least one thing it's that John Cena lives and breaths the gym, so now Nikki lives and breaths the gym. Like Vince said, the Cena influence is obviously a good thing for her. Dude is all about improving and getting better at his game, I have no doubt he has been coaching her and vice versa.
That would be a surefire way to get a hot crowd going. They started doing crowd shit with the Shield/Roman entrances but haven't gone beyond that which is disappointing.
What the fuck are they waiting for? Clearances on content? Seems dumb as fuck to sit on all that content that you could be advertising to get more subscribers.
DS4 shits on the DS3 from a great distance. DS4 is the best controller I've used, I prefer it to the X1 controller by a mile and this is coming from someone who was mainly a 360 only gamer last gen.
I agree. If that's one way we can help make things less uncomfortable for people wanting to post here, I'm all for it.
I see. Yeah it definitely works for Brock and other "monster" characters who just want to wreck shit.
Yeah, about that...
They have strict policies on that, even disallowing people to have their phones on them during the shows. It's quite cool, even Meltzer only gets sporadic and vague spoilers.
At least they're doing a better job than TNA.

The Titus O Neil versus New Day feud on twitter is pretty great

lol, Titus is getting roasted
It's a shame these guys (and so many other wrestlers) don't get to do this on WWE programming. If only they ditched their creative team and went back to old-school booking where wrestlers were allowed a bit of free roaming so they could cut promo's and develop feuds without necessarily having to follow a script.
Wrestlers now are just bodies, showing up and reading lines, where in the past they were creative talent, building storylines, promos and matches along with them together with the promoter/head booker. Such a waste of talent.
Can we talk about how Christian has the best theme song and how it's a crime he isn't being used by WWE just because we don't get to hear it?
Rodeo Clown
All aboard! The Love train!
I thought he retired because of his concussion problems?

It's good, but I prefer the At Last one.
The company refuses to use him because he's injury prone in their mind and had the announcers say he was retired, but Christian himself disagrees.

I like Christian's theme with the female vocals better.
The most active posters in mma-gaf have migrated to this thread, the others are banned. I think it's time we complete the merger.
Christian has an incredible thing. Especially better when it basically lays out his story of his relationship with Edge and how Edge has been standing in his way, taking his shine.
Christian should've been WWE World Champion. He deserved it more than Jericho ever did. Mark Henry too. Fuck Jericho.

Apologies Friend Titus. When I think "wrestlegaf thread," I immediately think of Plywood. Can you ever forgive me?
I could have sworn that Christian had a run as champ.
Not sure what you're getting at here. It seems a pretty bad comparison given my example.
Damn, I enjoy my day off and I miss all sorts of stuff.
(I'm way out of the loop these days...it's quite sad.)
Sucks to hear about AJ retiring.
OH YEAH!
LU is pretty good stuff.
Very entertaining and pretty good matches.
Make sure you watch that Casket Match (or "GRAVE CONSEQUENCES" as they call it ) when you can.

He's a 2 time World Heavyweight Champion. That time where he lost every match except 1 against Orton in the "most even" feud in WWE history.

If you're not watching NJPW on AXS you're really missing out, they're showing Okada vs. Styles right now and it's fantastic.
Renewed for another run, actually.
