Fuck this AJ bullshit in Bryan/Punk at MITB.

It is bs, pretty much. Those two men could have delivered just as great of a story if not better in the ring without her.

On a lighter note, I love Enzo's theme that was on NXT this week. I love hearing that guy talk! His presence makes Collin Cassidy more bearable too. =p

Well at least now it makes sense why he gets gassed so easily.

 

[vatstep]

I'm going tonight! First PPV ever, first WWE live event since Raw in '99. Should be fun.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Chris Hero, not like this. Not like this.

Lot of y'all are going to MITB, why isn't there a WrassleGAF meetup?

 

[Jimmy King]

Yup. Skipping around the ring and tilting your head isn't much of a compelling character. Never mind the fact that "she's crazy" is not only dumb and degrading but just not interesting at all. Just a lame excuse to do whatever.

 

[strobogo]

Is a demon worse than a monster? And are both worse than machines?

 

[Serpentine]

2012 was a rough year. I remember that angle being one of the more compelling ones at the time from that year and it's still kinda shit. I guess it was still better than Cena/Johnny Ace and the nothing midcard

 

[serenewarfare]

As noted, WWE NXT star Corey Graves is currently out of action with his second concussion.
There's talk going around developmental that Graves is pretty much done as an in-ring performer and officials are trying to figure out another role in the company for him.

Damn. I know some didn't like his work, but this is terrible. Hope they find a good spot for him.

Cool Corey LIVES

oh come on no-one remembers the rise of Ryback???????????????

*sigh*

 

[strobogo]

Clearly his role in the future is "guy who leans on things in backstage segments".

 

[Aiii]

 

[Singularity42]

Damn. I know some didn't like his work, but this is terrible. Hope they find a good spot for him.

Damn that is some sad stuff right there. Wonder if he had a history of concussions before he went to NXT and this 2nd one there just sorta sealed the deal for his career. Concussions are nothing to fuck with, plus the longer term effects of multiple concussions are still being discovered.

 

[Singularity42]

His gimmick could be guy who leans on things backstage while watching RAW

 

[Serpentine]

Damn. I know some didn't like his work, but this is terrible. Hope they find a good spot for him.

That sucks a lot. Maybe he can replace Renee on commentary!

oh come on no-one remembers the rise of Ryback???????????????

I remember that he was still squashing no name jobbers around that time

#EATINGSPIRIT

He's taking his rivalry with Eddie Kingston to a whole level.

Damn. I know some didn't like his work, but this is terrible. Hope they find a good spot for him.

He's not a great promo, and NXT already has its star manager in Enzo Amore. He's too inexperienced to be an agent or trainer. He can't really practice the power of LEAN as a referee. They already have Brad Maddox as the underling heel authority figure, and you don't need any more with The Authority in power. I have no idea what else they could do with him. Maybe enroll him at Full Sail and have him pick up production?

 

[strobogo]

Can you imagine how many guys have dozens of concussions and were working a week later, never fully recovering and getting more and more? Like how the fuck is Bully Ray not a babbling idiot after all those horrific chair shots that no doubt scrambled his brain?

Somehow NXT was when he was at his "I'm really, really trying" weight.

I'm sorry to hear that about Graves but pretty much this. They're already in cost-cutting mode so it doesn't make much sense.

Guys used to be tougher, I guess.

 

[JavyOO7]

Oh my god at the ending of MITB 2012... I admit I laughed. Didn't think the harness holding the case would actually break like that. And then he does a goofy face in victoly!

 

[Jimmy King]

It's kind of mind blowing that they really went with Del Rio over Ziggler. Say what you will about Ziggler but the fans clearly want(ed) him to be in a higher position.

Hasn't he been wrestling for like 10+ years? I think that would qualify someone to be a trainer of some sort, no?

Holy shit.

So many brains are fucked for ECW/Attitude era guys.

Well in Bubba's case it would require him to have a brain to be scrambled it but I digress.

I'd start with the whole ECW roster in the late 90's.

Then move to anyone who wrestled in the chair shot era for wcw and wwe. There has to be a shit pile of guys out there with brains that look like day old oatmeal. After that wrestler who will not be named and football players dropping like flies was when everyone started freaking out about concussions. Hell now days doctors are worried about soccer players heading the ball and the damage it is doing to their brains.

I can't remember a second of any Del Rio title reign. They've never given him an angle that mattered in any way.

 

[British Monsoon]

My view of Rampage Brown hitting Noam Dar with a piledriver on the bar of The Garage;

Incidentally, everyone should be on the Tommy End bandwagon. He's ridiculously good, at present.

I just remember him ending Big Show's superior title reign

 

[Singularity42]

That gave me a good giggle Wesker thank you

 

[serenewarfare]

I can't remember a second of any Del Rio title reign. They've never given him an angle that mattered in any way.

I remember seeing him completely fuck up a finish live at EC a few years ago and realizing at that moment that he was destined for nothingness.

The Continuing Adventures of Rad Moves Barrett

Please heal quickly

 

[Kaladin]

I'm watching last week's Raw and I don't know why I just noticed it, but it looks like Stephanie got a nose job so her nose matches Triple H's.

Why didn't I notice this before?

 

[Sblargh]

13 people on ladder matches today. What are the odds of more injury?

 

[avengers23]

Compared to Finlay, Dean Malenko, Road Dogg, Jamie Noble, IRS, Arn Anderson, Billy Kidman, Brooklyn Brawler, Michael Hayes, and Laurinatis?

Even at NXT, there are guys like Bill DeMott, Steamboat, Terry Taylor, Joey Mercury, Norman Smiley, and Sara Del Rey. Graves wouldn't have the credibility to be a trainer there.

He could train people at an indy wrestling school, I suppose.

hahaha he looks hilarious with those little orange socks

He looks like a retail worker actually

WTF....why did they change The Wyatt Family's theme.

You had one job Jim Johnston, one job.

Josh Mathews is gone. Corey Graves can do our pre- and post-shows. There will be a pole by the desk for him to lean on.

Because it's amazing, and seeing Bray's entrance twice every night would be stupid.

 

[newdayrocks]

Is Barrett officially out for tonight, or are we going to have to wait until the last minute to find out?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

also Jim Johnston is dead, long live CFO$' superior themes
