Sunflower, even though I correctly predicted the return of the Cruiserweight title yesterday, I did not see it as going to RAW.

Very curious decision to not have it paired with Daniel Bryan on SmackDown. I mean, they were going to watch RAW anyway, so may as well attempt to go full SmarkDown and give it its own unique flavor. Maybe they were worried about live attendance if the rosters were too imbalanced?

Seems like a bit of a missed opportunity. Curious to see where this is all going.

Raw can't fill 3 hours without a unique division.

implying you have to take on masculine characteristics (or that having a vagina is a drawback) to be successful in business or life in general is a p bad thing to say!

It wasn't the worst thing that happened. We had Shane tell Stephanie that the only reason she was around was because she married herself into relevancy.

I was going to follow the Draft thread but it's already too tiring already. I'll just stay here.

I'm about ready to tap out of that thread because Liu Kang's screaming into the wind is getting really tiring

 

[slightconfuse]

Has anyone mentioned kamaitachi fan showing up to the last ROH Show

At a certain point the lines between "work" and "shoot" become so blurred, you just can't tell the difference anymore

nobody watched

She's skewing culture, though. Which does not define her. It's good!

I was shocked too, really surprised to see that head to Raw. That's promising, but it also takes Danny Bryan outside of what people would expect would be his wheelhouse. It's definitely interesting.

I wonder what people would think if Women's wrestling was brand-specific. Their roster is MUCH thinner so it could be quite robust in that way.

The women's division would be way better off being brand-specific

Its easy to label someone a gimmick poster instead of admit you may be wrong, you may not. Stay open minded, and don't dismiss peoples' opinions. That's Cunt Planet behavior.

Stephanie's book is actually titled Lady Balls????

So AJ Lee doesn't have the worst autobiography name ever.

Yay!

friends, I saw Trapped In The Closet today for the first time.

how did I miss this??? this is like the greatest thing ever (well, the first 12 chapters at least). who woulda thunk R. Kelly had something like this in him

The Final Deletion/Matt Hardy has nothing on Trapped in the Closet

 

[FlammableD]

 

[British Monsoon]

Liger vs Hero.

I repeat, Liger vs Hero. This is not a drill, people! Based PWG.

So probably a bit of a loaded question for this group, but I am curious... has anyone actually missed Roman Reigns over the past month?

 

[whatevermort]

All hail Big Momma Pump

She's faaaaaan fuuuucking tasticcccc. And, she can even work well with Charlotte. Not many people can!

There's an amazing bonus feature on the DVD with R. Kelly superimposed onto the screen smoking a cigar and watching & commenting on how amazing his rhymes are.

About as much as I miss Elementary school.

Ambrose is champion right now. That's the timeline we reside in.

Of course he's sorely missed.

 

[Caderfix]

That's a quality post. I feel the same way.

 

[Jimmy King]

There's a fellow in the draft thread named MisterHBK with a HBK avatar.

He's my number 1 draft pick for WrassleGAF

 

[Kurita]

I don't miss Orton, Reigns, Brock

 

[British Monsoon]

Fenix & Pentagon vs Hero & End!!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, that's going to be nuts.

Don't expect anything better than that. Elementary was not the best for me lol!

Here is my shoot top five if I'm drafting a popular, profitable wrestling roster. Drawing power, age and upside taken into consideration -

1. John Cena
2. Seth Rollins
3. Roman Reigns
4. The New Day
5. Brock Lesnar

What John Cena lacks in years left in the ring he makes up with mainstream cachet, making him the de facto #1 pick without question. Once he's done in the ring, you keep him on as an authority role and brand ambassador.

Brock Lesnar is admittedly a short term play, but I don't see anyone below him that I'd select who could outweigh his current value as a mainstream spectacle.

What's your top five in a shoot draft, friends?

 

[klonere]

fucking PWG

sort your distribution system out for fuck sake

 

[Caderfix]

Oh, I completely get it. Trust me, I feel the same way haha

 

[British Monsoon]

Seriously.

This is always half the battle with PWG, maintaining any level on interest despite knowing that you won't be watching the shows until months later.

Poor Heel, you need to stay up to date even in closing hours or else you'll miss the real number 1 pick.

Imagine being the only 8 year old who weighed 100lbs. Then ten weighing 150. Then yeah, you get the point. I got bullied so I became the Bully, now life is great! Everyone looks up to me. I won't even mention weighing 300lbs in 9th grade.

 

[Sephzilla]

Zach and I already did a mock draft, friend Heel!

Cena, Owens, Sasha Banks, Rollins, and Enzo/Cass would be top picks for me. Marketable stars, right there.

One big reason I wanted Lesnar on my side was that there's still MANY stories you can tell with him and new people. It may feel short term but you can get a lot out of a couple years.

You cowardly editor. Now it looks like I Melania-ed you.

Lmao damn, wrasslegaf has bigger reach than I thought. Handful of people on kideo game side catching feels over me hating their favorite podcast that I've never seen before with quips like "based on how you act in the wrestling thread" - wow. Had no idea we were so watched and loved.

They're gonna be real happy when I'm gone for a year!

What's the podcast in question? And stop talking about that Punk fight.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people actually read these threads but just don't post.

PWG wins

I'm looking forward to it because no matter the outcome, I win.

Shitty Retronauts. It's just so bland. And people over there that are getting into it with me think it's some kind of sin to get bored to tears with people reading google docs and Wikipedia entries. It's not a big deal, I like big personalities in my shows I listen to (not assholes, people have a hard time separating the difference) - so I wanted something good. I've found some okay recommends. Nothing amazing yet.

95% of content is made by like 10% of the users. That's how forums work. There's probably 10 time as many people who passively read WrassleGAF vs. those who actually post.

Are you sure Bluekaveli hasn't clicked the thread 300,000 times this month?

I could never get into Retronauts either.
