Literally or metaphorically

All of it literally except for shitting on Euro indie wrestling, which I will do metaphorically.

 

[Data West]

Did Sting ever wear this chestpiece when he wrestled? It's in all the promo stuff, the games, the magazines, but I never saw him wearing it to wrestle. Ever.

 

[RP912]

Things I am about to go do

• Go to Walmart
• Get a case of Miller Lite
• Get a 6 pack of Snapshot if available
• Get a dozen of Walmart Bakery donuts
• Get a box of Zebra cakes
• Finish season 2 of The Sopranos
• Shit on Euro indie wrestling

[Jimmy King]

watching HBK/Taker HIAC (first ever)

HBK has a backstage promo and just as HHH is about to get mic time they cut him off

 

[British Monsoon]

• Shit on Euro indie wrestling

 

[FlammableD]

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE AGREED UPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Then it's war fucker.

 

[Gonzalez]

Reigns needs to drop the damn lazertag suit, he looks way stronger and menacing without a shirt on

If he does that, then you're asking him to cut weight. Which is a really bad idea considering the WWE likes to portray him as this super strong power wrestler, and when he cuts weight he's no bigger than Rollins. ...And if he loses the top without cutting weight, then he'll be as flabby as Bo Dallas.

 

[The Silver]

I can already hear the women in the audience the day he takes off the vest.

RIP Reigns when he has to walk through the crowd.

 

[Data West]

I don't think Jimmy Havoc in his hot topic garb and mom's jacket is going to change his mind.

Maybe Doug Williams instead

Remember the one time Reigns was getting beat down by Evolution and they were tearing his vest and undershirt off.

Reigns was scrambling to keep himself covered.

 

[British Monsoon]

I don't think Jimmy Havoc in his hot topic garb and mom's jacket is going to change his mind.

Maybe Doug Williams instead

It was more an expression of sentiment than an attempt to change opinion

Also, it's all about Rampage;

Doug's great as well, always a pleasure to get to see him wrestle.

 

[RP912]

Ok I'm confused with the avatar rumble. Whoever takes part in the rumble will get assigned a avatar to wear for a month?

Everyone who wants to join in (including people who didn't or weren't able to submit an entrant) will have to change their avatar to a picture of the eventual winner for a whole month.

[strobogo]

Oh he's so edgy and hip and cool. Piece of shit looks like an extra from a Mudvayne video.

 

[Perspicacity]

If you participate in it then you must change your avatar to a picture of the winning entrant.
So if you entered The Yeti and he wins then everyone who participated has to change to The Yeti, yourself included. If someone entered the Hurricane and he won then you would have to change your avatar to a picture of The Hurricane

Death by snu snu ain't a bad way to die.

You know what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, except you're not an immovable object but more like a twig that just happened to get in my way?!

You die. That's what happens.

Even balee'in won't save you anymore.

 

[Toki767]

Wait, who voted on those awards? Cause I'd laugh if Meltzer gave the Meltzer Driver the award for Best Wrestling Maneuver.

Zero complaints about the Observer Awards. Zero. Need to see more Dragon Lee though.

 

[Macho Madness]

Every Observer Subscriber. Dave gets one vote.

 

[British Monsoon]

New Japan cleaning up there. I'm sure there'll be lots of salty reactions to Jado & Gedo getting best bookers again

Spoiler

and reminders of awful shit like the Gracies and fucking up Naito

.

Piece of shit looks like an extra from a Mudvayne video.

That just makes him all the easier to despise.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Most Overrated: Kane

I've been putting in work if he can still qualify for being overrated, that would require people to still rate him.

 

[Jimmy King]

So weird to see people who don't post in here posting in the Rumble thread. I did not know there were Others.

Stronger in death, strike me down I shall become more powerful, all that Undertaker shit.

 

[Data West]

God King Brock only needs to wrestle a few dates and still ranks.

Makes it easier to write of an entire promotion because of him.

 

[Hasney]

Now Mudvayne is being shit on, unreal. Who's next in this reign of terror? Kane? In 2015? I shan't hear of a bad word.

 

[Data West]

Ishii needs to wrestle
Sugiura vs Ishii
Kasai vs Ishii in an Ambulance match. As in the loser is the one who can be physically dragged to the hospital by EMTs.

Who the hell is Rush?

Lucha guy. I've never understood the appeal. He's done some NJPW matches too.

 

[British Monsoon]

Who the hell is Rush?

The only guy to rival Shibata in the "holy shit, that dropkick looked fucking nasty" stakes;

 

[Perspicacity]

And everyone here was shitting on me when I said Nakamura was awesome

How is Kane overrated? Everyone hates him.


























Except one person...

 

[strobogo]

And everyone here was shitting on me when I said Nakamura was awesome

Who shits on Nakamura besides Freckled Cuckold?

 

[Xater]

Zack Sabre Jr. getting some respect. Saw him a couple of times in wXw, he's really good.

 

[Gonzalez]

BTW, I've decided at this time, to announce that I Gonzalez in this moment in 2015, to declare to the dozens of WrassleGAFers that on NXT Wensday before 8:00 PM EST, that I will put my avatar on the line in this years Avatar Rumble for the first time ever.

 

[iMax]

Someone's been a little overzealous on the WrestleMania 31 Wikipedia page.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Who the hell overrates Yujiro Takakhashi?

 

[Jimmy King]

Someone's been a little overzealous on the WrestleMania 31 Wikipedia page.

Mick Foley's at it again.

 

[Frecklestein]

who the fuck overrates Kane?

 

[Data West]

Sekimoto got robbed. The only people I'd say could pass him for 2014 would be Nakamura and AJ. And even then.

 

[Hasney]

Most Overrated was the difference of 4 votes

I'll save my anger even if this came after what I posted. This was Kane in 2014 votes. I have high hopes for Kane in 2015.

 

[UberTag]

And everyone here was shitting on me when I said Nakamura was awesome

What breed of insane fool would argue that he wasn't? And you're saying EVERYONE was doing this? I must have been away from the thread that month.

stro will be happy to see that Elgin finished in the Top 3 for first place vote recipients.
