Samoan Joe. A nod to their ROH history and Joe can then say he's retired two people.

Swerve: It's a bear hug submission.
Wrestlers who want to have their Randy 'The Ram' Robinson moment in the sun shouldn't be denied their glory. Wrestlers used to say you left This Business on your back, and some take that to the extreme.
He probably wouldn't have had such an issue if he just got the surgery in the first place instead of using that voodoo medicine shit or whatever.

My favorite two reviewers over at Deadspin are kinda 'eh' on the movie. Partly because of the directorial change that probably had an effect on the movie. Still watching it though.

I blame Vince that people still think this bullshit is what happened and not that he did actually have surgery but it didn't work because the docs had no idea what was actually wrong with him.
John Cena needs to get his win back, daddeh.
You know its not his neck thats the problem right? Your just feeding another unfunny meme from this topic that doesn't use facts.
His problem is concussion related. He trying to make it back instead of be like Christian or Graves who can't wrestle anymore.

Oh yeah, last I heard Christian was claiming he wasn't done... When's the last time anyone's seen him?

Can you imagine Seth mustering genuine-feeling emotion like this? I can't. He's gotten MUCH better on the mic, but he still has a pretty limited range in what he can achieve.
I don't think anyone hates him as a performer, but he's been booked as such a whiny weakling since becoming champion that it's going to take a long time for WWE to build goodwill toward or interest in him back up. Ratings have taken a huge nosedive since he became champ, and while that's probably more attributable to a general lack of direction in the product as a whole than to him, specifically, it does demonstrate that he is not much of a draw, unto himself, in his current incarnation.
Edit: Daniel Bryan's current problem has nothing to do with him not getting surgery. He took a bunch of reckless bumps when he got back, perhaps hoping to prove to management and fans that his nerve in his neck was fine and he could still go, and he slipped up and took a strike badly from Sheamus during a Smackdown match, leading to a concussion. The problem is that he worked the indies for such a long time that he's got a litany of undiagnosed concussions that he worked through in his past, so it's more than just a "be more careful next time" scenario. My guess is he just wants to focus on Tough Enough for right now so that he has enough time to get as well as he can before he gets evaluated for coming back from the concussion. I really think he should take a year or two off and try to shoot for a Shawn Michaels-like part 2 of his career, but he prob thinks that nobody'll give a shit about him by then, which is probably true. TBH, once Sami Zayn comes back, he's everything I liked about Bryan plus MUCH better mic skills and a more everyman kind of look.

I think that time he hosted The Peep Show on one of the late 2014 PPV preshows...
Aztec Warfare was fantastic. Everyone came out of it looking great. I love how Big Ryck just lariat's and shoulder blocks people and is still believable as a complete murderer. Dats sum gud wrasslin' booking there friends.

True, I don't see Seth scoring any roles on SyFy or CW anytime soon.

Kane would make sense. Or Cena. The Cena feud was where he went from a guy getting over in the upper midcard to an undeniable main eventer.

That match was glorious. Just to think, folks thought Cena was going to let Bryne win via bullshit. They wasn't expecting that clean victory.

The problem with Seth is his style is based around fun little flippy spots, and he speaks like Jeff Spicoli. You my homey, Chamber, but Seth just isn't a top heel kind of guy. He'd make a great babyface Intercontinental champion though.

Cena took that knee better than anyone else ever did. Made Bryan look like a goddamn star in that match.

He shouldn't be a top heel a la HHH, but he should def be near the top but should be more of an Edge-like tweener, an "I'm out for me and fuck everyone else" type of character.

Good take on the character. Doesn't he have a racist mistress to provide for?

Problem with Seth is that is character is billed as "The Architect" someone who is good at building plans and thinking 2 moves ahead.
He has been booked like a bitch who runs to mommy and daddy when something goes wrong. Man up,and build a weapon to slay the beast

I give Dixie props. Most promoters in her shoes would have been tapped out, she keeps the ball rolling despite the fact that half of the roster went to GFW or finding another line of employment. She's the real MVP.

The only thing that could do a worse PPV buy rate than Bound For Glory 2014 is Bound For Glory 2015.

There's a lot of truth to this. At the end of the day, Dixie's perseverance indicates that she really does love pro wrestling. It's baffling that fans don't realize that she's one of them.

He's basically Triple H's character from around 2000, when he was always truly being a cerebral assassin. Probably my most favorite version of HHH, but a lot of folks didn't like it.
dream
Member
But HHH was never a FFG though. He's always worked American Strong Style, which I think is the best style for a top heel to use.
I'm sorry, are you floating a scenario where the McMahon's aren't the top dogs and focal point of the show?

I forgot how horrible Lillian was at ring announcing at this point.
Still is. I'll take JoJo over her any day.
Smh...and folks say that Trips buries talent. Dude put over Taka for fucks sakes. He didn't even do such things to Steiner or Goldberg :/.
