Reigns stuff does have a hint of Jeff Hardy to it as well.

 

[Gonzalez]

Honestly though, if I were a 12-year-old male, I'd probably think Reigns' shirt design and the "One Versus All" tagline were cooler than cool. The current design is easily his best so far.

I would too... Hell I'm cocking my wrist back as I'm typing up this post with one right now.

...Guys I think I've become a fellow "Roman".

I bought 2 second row tickets for the second Toronto show. Not sure I'll be able to use them.

Anyone in the Montreal/Toronto area looking for tickets to these shows? I might put them up for sale.

 

[GreedZen]

First suplex concussed Taker to fuck. I still don't think it would have been a great match, but they had to manage it from that point onwards.

Interesting. The pace was so slow to begin with I didn't think anything of it when it really started to crawl.



Wow the crowds reaction or lack there of during this Women's Invitiational...... oh wait Emma's dance seems to have caught their interest and business has picked up a bit.

wtf at Rosa's hair, that is her right. jeez

BRIE moooode. lol ok let me calm down.

 

[Alucard]

Regal just posted this pic on his Twitter. Called it his "worst photo ever." He's wrestling against a dude named Gaylord Peacock. His facial reaction says it all.

I was searching for info on this yesterday.

I need to talk my friend into going. I may avoid floor seats if it's too far back.

This is happening on Saturday. Nice to see Moose booked since he's no longer on the ROH Anniversary card.

For a smorgasbord indie show, it actually looks fairly stacked.

Random Tanahashi Twitter picture.

What is Muta doing here?

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Every wrestling era has had that super talented guy who is clearly better then THE GUY but is always playing second fiddle.

Now its Bryan. Back in the 80's is was Randy Savage, It was Bret Hard for a while and in WCW it was kind of everyone.

The big difference is that Hogan was drawing huge money when Savage was at his best so you could be pissed that he was the #1 guy but its hard to argue with the dollars. Bryan is the best technical wrestler and was the most over guy at the same time until the WWE beat him down. As Meltzer points out, the Bret Hart situation is very similar with Luger and Nash in the Reigns role, and in the end Hart got the shot that Bryan hasn't.

 

[KenOD]

It's a good thing that Blackpool dining puts the weight on, he was a skinny lad that young "Roy" Regal.
Nice hair though, for the time.

Time for one of his old matches to enjoy http://youtu.be/jMb8fCz-3NY

Now its Bryan. Back in the 80's is was Randy Savage, It was Bret Hard for a while and in WCW it was kind of everyone.

The biggest problem current WWE has is creative has zero plans for anyone not part of the title picture or John Cena. Back then they where much better at juggling multiple stories at once though.

Unless you fit in one of those 2 slots you will just float around aimlessly. If Bryan was getting compelling non title storylines I bet a lot of people would be a lot happier. Instead we will probably be getting Bryan versus sheamus and Bryan versus Kane from now until Summerslam.

I'm assuming that's his porn nickname?

 

[bjork]

Saw this and thought of good ol' wrasslegaf

There's a page inside that shows Rock shaking hands with Koko B Ware. The big reveal page is Hulk and Nash as nWo. Makes me think Disney should buy Vince out and add wrestlers to Marvel movies just so the world would implode.

you know it's an indie show when EC3 is the best wrestler on the card

 

[KenOD]

I love that the wonderful story of William Regal's daughters, the conjoined twins, continues on Twitter since he isn't allowed to mention them on NXT any more.

Caprice Coleman and Jeff Hardy are better wrestlers than EC3, friend Cure.

what are these AJ tweets people are talking about?

RT @StephMcMahon: Thank You @PattyArquette for having the courage to fight for #WomensRights on such a grand platform. #UseYourVoice

@StephMcMahon Your female wrestlers have record selling merchandise & have starred in the highest rated segment of the show several times,

@StephMcMahon And yet they receive a fraction of the wages & screen time of the majority of the male roster. #UseYourVoice

Then Steph's reply, like she was on the Heyman DVD or something:

Thank you @WWEAJLee, I appreciate your opinion. #UseYourVoice

 

[Perspicacity]

duh

Also, listening to that Zayn/Swift mashup on loop will make anyone happy. I just need to stop hitting my mouse off the desk to the beat.

You've just given me something to listen to for these last few hours at work before sweet freedom and I thank you.

Does anyone think if WWE released Bryan and he went to one of the more up and coming promos people might follow or just get over it and keep pouring money into McMahon's wallet?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I thought we were talking about women's wrestling in this decade.

You're not going to find any disgusting freaks like the ones you posted, in modern WWE, and that's a good thing.

Horrible and shameful post. You should be ashamed of this stance.

Bryan vs Seth in a hair match

Bryan loses and comes back as a meat eating hippie hating heel.

 

[FindingGreedo]

Off to see my first Wrassling live tomorrow night. Quite excited!

Infinite Promotions in Liverpool "Merseybeatdown III" should be a laugh at least.

How is goat sexist? Are goats only male or are there girl goats? I legit have no idea.

At worst you'll have a laugh. Wrestling is generally just a good ol' time. Report back!

 

[beanman25]

Just received an email from WWE network thanking me for being there since the beginning. (I signed up on day 1). Included $25 off WWEshop with no minimum purchase. Only tax + shipping paid.

I fucking got it too! I didn't think I was going to get it after seeing the folks in r/wwenetwork talk about it.

 

[serenewarfare]

Someone floated the idea of Rusev passing out in the STF at Mania so technically his streak wouldn't be broken and then they do a blowoff match at ER. I don't know that that will happen, but it isn't the worst idea.

 

[BronsonLee]

Obviously this ends with AJ getting Pedigreed and getting knocked into a non-merchandise royalty receiving coma from the impact

It is to me. Why didn't they get their ducks in a row and do the blowoff at Mania if they wanted 3 PPV matches? Surely beating the biggest franchise in WWE at the biggest show would be much better at launching a star rather than some dumb match on the biggest return match PPV of the year.

Rusev passing out to the STF is humiliating.

You realize Rusev isn't winning this program, right? So it doesn't matter when Cena ultimately gets the decisive victory.

 

[FindingGreedo]

I will! My friend who invited me to go said last time he went he ended up drunk and chatting to D-Lo Brown of all people!

Not sure whether watching NXT before I go will raise my expectations to high or not....

 

[FlammableD]

The first 2 Hardyz vs Young Bucks matches from last year are both up on Matt Hardy's YouTube channel, put them on my to watch list, looking forward to getting round to them:

Maybe we should share our YouTube match backlog playlists? (I'm not the only one who has one, right?)

Good point. Gotta keep Cena strong for Cena/Reigns @ Wrestlemania FFwd.

Unless ratings are down and they blow their wad at Summerslam.

That's awesome! I remember reading about Merseybeatdown II last year, and it being a lot of fun. Enjoy. Live wrestling is a far different experience than just watching it on television. Get as close to the action as you can for the best experience.

This was last year's main event:

Have fun. (I know nothing about this promotion and have never watched them, but I remember reading about this last year)

 

[serenewarfare]

I also recieved the $25 coupon from WWE. Nice to at least get something for supporting from day one.

 

[Sephzilla]

I signed up day one but took like a month off after the 6 month commitment was over. I'm probably not getting one of those.

 

[joelseph]

Hope I get that damn code, I have been subbed since day 1 and I want that new Seth shirt shit.

 

[Fox318]

I'm still amazed how WWE has no golf gear.

They have nothing that an adult would wear.
