I still have no idea whether Brawn has any wrestling talent.

Did you see the last man standing match? Dude is a legit big man. He's no Khali.

That's not wrestling talent. That's having functional knees. Match was still pretty bad and if Zayncan't carry him, then fuck.

I honestly don't think we'll know with Brawn for along ass time. He's the greenest man on the roster.

He had a bad match with Sami Zayn which I thought was impossible.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

If I may add my voice to the existing chorus, as much as I liked the character work in Tanahashi/Naito, when it comes to what a modern 'big match' is, you don't get much better than Omega/Okada.

 

[Professor Beef]

Why do you think so lowly of Die Hard 1, then?

Get those eyes checked, Robomark.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Braun is fine in his current role but the second he needs to have a match that isn't just a one-sided borderline squash he's gonna get exposed.

 

[Anth0ny]

lol braun is absolute garbage in ring

but as long as vince mcmahon is alive, there will always be giants who can't work for fucking SHIT. so you just kinda hope for the best. looking at it that way, braun is ok.

 

[Kaladin]

Get those eyes checked, Robomark.

3 may be the second best Die Hard, but it is in no way equal to the best Christmas movie ever made.

The LMS match or the time limit match?

LMS was legit good, the time limit match was bad for numerous reasons, the biggest one being them having a fucking visible time limit (with clock!) and having a significant amount of said time be eat up by Foley fucking holding a towel and the debate over WILL HE THROW IT

10 minutes and that part alone was a full fifth of the damn match

 

[Kaladin]

I'd even venture to say Braun's match with Seth Rollins was decent despite the finish.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Braun is bad and I don't want the incoming push to the moon he's about to get.

 

[Professor Beef]

Why do you workrate marks have no love for the Big Men™ of This Business?™ Sometimes you just wanna see a twigboy loser like Zayn get destroyed, and that's what Big Braun is here for.

Both, that LMS match did nothing for me

 

[Uno Venova]

The Braun praise seemed really forced..like we're going to be seeing this guy every week and he did a kip up in that gif one time.

 

[slightconfuse]

Makabe is still the best promo

[BewareTheBatsie]

Poor guy. I can imagine Triple H stopping him backstage, telling him to no-sell some hits because they wanna make him look like a monster. Brock wasn't having any of that shit.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Will Braun sell for Brock at the Rumble though or will Brock have to teach him again.

 

[Kaladin]

Braun was super green as a Wyatt and given no room to grow.

On his own, he's learned how to play to his strengths and make himself look like a beast in the ring.

 

[Into the Light]

Braun is everything wrong with WWE in 2017.

 

[jmdajr]

hmmmm

 

[Angry Grimace]

He had a bad match with Sami Zayn which I thought was impossible.

The matches weren't booked to make Sami look good. He's bad in the ring right now, but the question I have is whether its just because he's green or whether he doesn't have any talent. I dunno, I've seen flashes of stuff that makes me think there's something there, but its possible that's just like one or two moves. Part of the problem is that due to his size, he basically never sells anything, and you have to be able to sell to wrestle.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Ambrose jobbed to a lot less in his match with Brock compared to the damage Sami took with Braun. So...that's a good thing?

Boy I really hated that match.

 

[Mengetsu]

I'm sure this was posted already.

Anthem Media has come to terms for Jeff Jarrett to return to TNA, PWInsider.com has confirmed. We are told that Jarrett will be at this week's TV tapings, as will his wife Karen Jarrett.

We are also told that Dutch Mantel is already in Orlando and is expected at this week's tapings, which certainly lends credence to the idea that Jarrett will be helping behind the scenes in terms of creative as Mantel was always one of his top lieutenants in that regard in the past. After being let go by TNA, Mantel, considered a great mind for the business, had a run with WWE as Zeb Colter.
We are also told that this does not mean the end of Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling promotion, which has been working to establish a TV deal in conjunction with "American Ninja Warrior" production company A. Smith & Co. Productions in Los Angeles. Sources indicate that whatever Jarrett is doing with TNA, it will not impede any potential GFW business moving forward.

Sami has the unfortunate distinction of being the best seller in WWE, meaning they make him do it all the time.

 

[Into the Light]

What is Leva Bates up to? Is she still wrestling?

 

[Kaladin]

I'm curious to see if TNA in 2017 is any different.

I can't be the only one who was getting tired of the Hardy's over produced segments.

[Angry Grimace]

The funny part to me is that Brock Lesnar is a really good seller, also, he just never has to do it.

 

[Syder]

I think at the very least Strowman has a propensity to improve. I think he has far more potential than any monster we've seen in a while.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Bluekaveli]

Poor guy. I can imagine Triple H stopping him backstage, telling him to no-sell some hits because they wanna make him look like a monster. Brock wasn't having any of that shit.

This will always be funny. Glad Brock fucked him up.

Brock when he sells it means something. I always like how sells tackles or when he sold for ramen at mania with the triple superman punch where he stumbles around instead of bumping like everyone else does for it.

Maybe HHH was just pulling a rib.

Leave Stroman alone, pick on someone your own size, marks

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

 

[Bronx-Man]

Strowman sucks

[Dark Ninja]

Its like one of those stiff Japanese training shots only Braun didn't end up bleeding from the mouth. Young Boy Braun Strowman.

Apparently this is the only other match Meltz has given 6 stars. I'll be checking it out later.

He gave Steamboat/Flair 6 stars too

 

[Professor Beef]

Braun is on Creative? News to me.

 

[Zach]

Data West, knower of things.

 

[Sephzilla]

TIGER KNEE

 

[Into the Light]

And when he picks a mic up, its even worse.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Braun is everything wrong with WWE in 2017.

Better than Roman

 

[Menome]

I quite like Strowman at the moment. Thus expect him to be injured at the Rumble and out for eight months.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Aliens wasn't very good.

I should watch RoboCop 2.

While I love the Alien series, Everything after 2 was bad because it was inconsistent. Now that Covenant is being filmed and primed for this year, strangely, I am hyped for it.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

And when he picks a mic up, its even worse.

Why does he have to sound like Hogan all the time

 

[Barrage]

Braun is entertaining and has charisma, and the more of him the better.

If having a bad match with Zayn makes you a bad wrestler, then I guess Cody Rhodes sucks.

(Well I mean...he does. I just want everyone to admit it).

 

[Angry Grimace]

And when he picks a mic up, its even worse.

I think he's fine on the mic. He has a scary sounding voice and keeps it short.
