Emma's debut last night was exactly how it should be. She is just going to be terrible and awkward week after week without wrestling, culminating in a mixed tag at Wrestlemania She will squash the shit out of Summer and Fandango and faceplant on her way out of the ring.
The idea of Fandango being in love with her even though her dancing nauseates him is top notch.

WWE Benoit'd CM Punk pretty damn fast.
Erased!
Raw from Chicago next month should be a laugh.
Its sad really. 2000 era WWF would kill for something like this that they could get some heat off.
But then again that is the last 6 months in a nut shell. "Here is this thing we could do something great with but nope. Stay the course and continue with this dumb idea no one cares about. Fan reaction be damned"

Some of the fun of "lol indie wrestling" talk is the gifs. Everything has its place 
Hahahaha, this is awesome. Batista having to suck up to the crowd to prevent a negative reaction must have been hilarious.
Yep, WWE has it's fair share of stupid stuff.

It's been like a month, and they are already having to result to this? Batista's return is a massive failure
I can't help but have the Mr. Ass theme in my head when I see this.

Other than the brief few hours of CHIKARA talk during the National Pro-Wrestling Day stream, the only indie wrestling talk in this thread has been of the "lol, indie wrestling" variety.
Shit, I don't even know what I'm arguing, I'd just like to see more actual *fans* of indie wrestling posting about indie wrestling.
I was thinking about this for awhile too. I thought people were saying she's almost 100 percent to ge back in the ring. Something about she had a miscarriage and spent her down time working with foundations about miscarriages ever since

Why the hell does Emma not have merchandise yet? You have to strike while the iron is hot. Next pay check will go to some wrestling shirts and some Brawlin' Buddies

I'm debating attending the 2/22 Dragon Gate USA show in Queens, NY, but the fact that it's not exactly near public transportation and the fact they haven't announced a card beyond a Gargano/CIMA title match are working against my attendance.
I don't get why they haven't announced more of the card at this point. Telling me that AR Fox, the Bravados, Ivelisse, Rich Swann, Ryo Saito, Trent Baretta, Anthony Nese, Drew Gulak, Chuck Taylor, Jigsaw, Caleb Konley, Shane Strickland, and Biff Busick are on the card doesn't actually make me interested in going.
Surely this is the worst it gets. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger offender.
Actually on second thought it might be this one
Yes. And then he shrunk them in the wash.

Really sums up my opinion (and probably the majority of this boards opinion maybe, I can't speak for all ya'll) about indy wrestling from this indy nerd.
That girl doesn't look exactly like all the others, change it!

DGUSA always seem to leave it really late to announce their cards, which has never made much sense to me. It doesn't help that DGUSA shows have pretty much become "the EVOLVE roster, plus a couple of Japanese guys" - nothing against CIMA & Ryo Saito, but there's a ton of other Dragon Gate talents I'd like to see brought over.

She'll probably be booked as Sheamus' cousin if she doesn't.

Meh, what do you expect? A majority of people's knowledge of indie wrestling is just from gifs which is why people say the Young Bucks suck, Richards can't sell, indie wrestling is just flips, etc.
Sheamus' cousin...from Norwich?
We need good ippvs back for that to happen. Or organize synced viewing parties like we used too
Yeah, but the Young Bucks do suck though
Honestly, the CM Punk chants is something they can't do anything about, I mean he left. It's normal that they are trying to avoid that since unless they break kayfabe they can't do anything.
The Baptista pandering on the other hand is hilarious, what a failed return. People don't care for him, why not turn him heel? Feuding with Del Rio will not help since nobody cares for that guy either. That match is going to be crapped on.

She was on tv what 4 times.
They break kayfabe constantly on show and especially in media. Their own media. Like DVDs or interviews.

So instead of rallying behind the crowd after their "big creative meeting", they've just resorted to more petty ways of trying to manipulate their reactions. Seems fitting.
Congratulations, Verendus. You have now seen the light.
Just think of all of the extra free time you will now have to enjoy on Mondays. An extra 2 hours a week for the rest of the year.
That's like 4 entire days you have given back to yourself.

I dont know what else WWE expected when Batista returned.
Its Batista for god sake. Not The Rock. How did they not see any of this coming?

Fucking fantastic video.

I like Brotista.
The quicker he turns the better! being a face right now after the RR makes no sense, the fans are nuts right now. Bring back the spotlight too.

The previous DGUSA show I attended at least had Akira Tozawa, CIMA, Eita, Tomahawk TT, but it also had a godawful Chikara memorial eight man tag. And they had to play around with Trent Barretta and AR Fox to pad out the card a bit.
Even if they don't want to bring more Japanese guys over, at least bring in some new talent. There are probably guys in AIW like the Submission Squad who could bring a breath of fresh air.
And I get this nagging feeling that the card is going to end up being a bunch of singles matches, which isn't that enticing.
