I hate to bring UFC into here, but Rio just popped for Jose Aldo bigger than any pop I have seen in wrestling....it may have even been bigger than CM Punk winning at MITB.
 
Don't be ashamed to bring UFC in here, djsandman. It's the same business, only better.

What an amazing spectacle that was.

Really great stuff. The knee, Aldo sprinting out of the cage, the crowd mobbing, him fighting the security off, etc.

Yeah, the booking is pretty terrible though. I mean, that last show? Lesnar vs whatshisname? They hyped the match up so much and then it was over in a matter of minutes. Whoever thought of that idea at UFC Creative deserves to be fired :p

Doesn't that happen to quite a few big matches though? They hype it up to hell, then it usually ends in the first round.

Hell, the lower card matches often end up being more entertaining.

Yeah, at least the Cirque du WWE never gives you a bad game. /Doofus Son In Law.
 
Stanford has always been a decent guy on commentary. Josh Matthews is another, which is why I don't like them jamming Michael Cole down our throats each episode and on Smackdown.

How Cole and King are STILL on commentary is mind boggling. Both need to be given the boot. King first, then have Cole parade around about it for a month followed by Kane dragging Cole into the abyss/hole in the mat screaming like a little girl
 
I just got home to watch Shawn Michaels dropping kicking my favorite wrestler, Mr. Perfect? Sunflower, you are a Living Legend.

Watch our, Larry Zybyzko may not appreciate that.

Rap is Crap: Mr Perfect's best gimmick or worst? Or...medium?

I'm a huge Michael Cole support. Very good, hardly messes up and he is the first to play a HEEL a play-by-play commentator. Usually the color commentator is the heel and the play-by-play is the face.

Medium. Best gimmick was when he wanted the "Best Shape of my life" gimmick. You might not remember that but that is when he challenge Jarrett for the NWA title in TNA. Best Wrestler to come out of Minnesota, and still claim Minnesota.

A heel play by play guy who barely calls the match, is "Not out there to call moves but to tell stories," who buries guys past the point of sanity, and who's idea of pushing people is making up stories about Irish folklore, bamboo training, parkour, and postal service jobs. Uh huh.

You forgot the history of low-rider bikes...

lol I get a kick out of the totally made up irish history and other factoids he whips up. Everything else is annoying as fuck though.

Don't blame Cole because you can't keep up with this new avant-garde commentary shit, Net_Wrecker.

Just like some "olde time" Wrasslegaffers can't handle our bleeding edge posting style.

Using text to communicate? IN 2012!?
 
Hey. Hey you. Yeah you...............

BRO KICK

When did "avant-garde" start meaning terrible and rating killer?

First off, there's no proof that Michael Cole is the cause of any ratings decline. Lies and hearsay. Show me the facts.

Secondly, you think it's terrible because you're getting old. Pretty soon, it'll be a very embarrassing faux pas to admit in this thread that you dislike Cole's commentary.
 
The ones who hate Cole are annoyed he hasn't shown off his ring gear lately.

That's ratings, right there.

The longer Cole's shtick goes on, the longer the "2nd hour ratings death" goes on. Indisputable evidence right there.

And :lol @ me caring what a "faux pas" is in this thread. I SAY WHAT I WANT, SON.
 
It was barable when he just acted that way on NXT Divas Edition and until his match at Wrestlemania with JR. But it should have ended there. You cant even enjoy the match that is happening in the ring anymore. His character makes no sense either. Don't cheer some of the faces on (Cena and Orton) if your gonna start burying Zack Ryder a minute later. Now that Bryan is turning heel it confuses the audience for Cole to keep burrying him.
 
Are any of you guys the only wrestling fan in your circle of friends?
I was out with a bunch of mine, and constantly catching myself making WWE references.
One of my buddies wasn't drinking tonight and I said 'Living that CM Punk lifestyle, hey?'
That was like, one example out of many.

I'm not the only fan, but I am the only one who still watches.

I do the same thing. I'm the only one in my group that's a wrestling fan. I make tons of wrestling references to things and I'm sure all of them go over their heads except maybe a Hulk Hogan or Macho Man reference.

No he's not. They tried it with Coach in 2005. It failed so bad they ended up dragging Joey Styles out of retirement because Vince had too much pride to go back to J.R. Of course, they kept Coach in the booth instead of just letting Styles work with Lawler alone.
 
Hogan was officially announced for the TNA tapings in England. It's being built as his first appearance in England since September 1994 with WCW.

Just a handful of my friends still watch wrestling.

Same here, I did have one other guy who could still stomach it but now he's been uprooted elsewhere meaning no more splitting the price for ppvs, my wallet weeps. Still I can crack out a few more modern references than one would expect.
 
I hate to bring UFC into here, but Rio just popped for Jose Aldo bigger than any pop I have seen in wrestling....it may have even been bigger than CM Punk winning at MITB.

I wouldn't say that and, frankly, Aldo stole Punk's whole running into the crowd bit. Mind you, you couldn't book a finish as nuts as that. Mario Yamaki's as nefarious a referee as Earl Hebner ever was, and Joe Rogan's more of a loudmouth than Michael Cole.
