March Wrasslin' |OT| Forecast for Wrestlemania...cloudy with a heavy chance of Reigns
- Thread starter Alucard
- Start date
I've seen him live, and he definitely has a sort of confidence in himself that other NXT rookies at his level lack....he has the presence they talk about. It's not just hype.

Probably another year or two.
Definitely not coming through on TV.
It's not going to when he's shown more in his entrance and exit than in the ring. He's not even really given promo time.
Don't get me wrong, he's still green....you can tell he hasn't been training long. But he does have the presence they talk about.

Just read up on the aguayo Jr situation. Terrible situation for all involved

Yeah, as much as Rey's probably hurting over this, this isn't his fault. Perro just took the move wrong and it cost him.
It's similar to Misawa being killed by Akitoshi Saito's backdrop. The backdrop may have been what killed him, but Misawa's body was basically destroyed by that point, and that move was just the straw. Saito was on suicide watch for weeks but NOAH stood behind him, as well they should have.

Well you want to know someone who is really green. Its Koya from Impact wrestling. He had a real bad day yesterday.
First he is in a heel group that a rip off of Bray Wyatt so when they come out he starts slapping fans hands:
Then my favorite. Trying to fold a plastic chair and then paying for going for the wrong chair:

Damn...
RIP Perro
I only seen a few matches with dude and was impressed. My condolences to the family and I know Rey is fucked up from that incident.
It brings me to another point....should the wrestling business changed the whole "the show must go on?" policy?
Imo they need to put a end to it because it's bad enough you have fans that are observing a terrible incident such as this and the Owen Hart tragedy, and it's better to take the lost and give out refunds for the respect of the fallen and the audience that attended the show.

I don't know if Perro took the move wrong. The move was a dropkick to the shoulder where all you have to do is fall on the middle rope. He's not done much wrong there aside from hitting the ropes too fast, maybe?
This is maybe the freakiest wrestling accident I've ever seen.

Isn't it more frustrating with the bigger levels though? That's why I'm holding off for now.
I would say Baron's or Binmen or "The Wolf Pack."
Eh...I enjoyed HL2 but HL1 felt complete imo. The game was so good and unique when it came out, but the soundtrack to HL2 blows the first one out of the water.
Another thing about HL2 is the horrible level designs. Some of those levels felt rushed and incomplete.
Sad news about Perro this morning.
Yeah, once he hits the ropes, he's out.
Looks like he just took the dropkick and then his neck hit the ropes and he's out.
If you watch, Manik's trying to talk to him, but he quickly realizes he's out, then everyone else kinda catches on pretty quickly.
Sucks for everyone involved though.

I guess they saw Rey was trending and decided to take advantage. Come on WWE.

Distasteful but not unexpected. Speaking of which...

I posted the highlight reel of that absurd Lunchtime Suicide nonsense just a few days ago...

fuckin' called it, man
That would be- any Tony Jaa movie

Christ, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt about not knowing, but they need to look at that better.
Jesus at the Rey Mysterio thing. It's basically Weekend at Bernies in the ring.

You guys really think this Rey Mysterio on the Network stuff was planned like this? Come on. You're all wanting to hate WWE despite this content and scheduled tweets being planned more than a week ahead of time. Jeez, get a grip. "Oh, no surprise WWE saw him trending" come on. Come the fuck on.
That's one of the dumbest spots I've seen them do.

Regardless, WWE have a social media team, those guys should have been aware of the hugely tragic situation dominating wrestling talk on social media today.
They have a social media team alright, and they're thinking "Hey, Rey is in the news today....we'll get some hits and maybe some new subscribers wanting to see his story."

Sad to hear about Perro's death. Total freak accident and I can't imagine what's going through Rey's mind right now.
It's unfortunate, dude just passed out in the middle of the match, doesn't seem like there was any cause from something happening in the match. He was out before he hit the ropes for Rey's 619 move.
It looked like they were supposed to do a double 619 spot but even Rey could tell something was wrong and went over his head.

More like they have a tone deaf social media team that Sunny will happily make excuses for.

I didn't find it frustrating. Once you get everyone's attention, they all rush you. At that point you can shoot them all and rack up ten hit combos. you definitely need to use guns more than part 1, where I barely used them.

Wait wait wait... Someone died from the 619?!
Edit: Just saw the video. It's nauseating. I know we all rag on WWE for having doctors jump in to matches all the time, but I'd rather have that than people wrestling around a corpse. :x
Was that Rey's first match back?

It would be stupid to yank the scheduled content from someone that was IN a tragic match. It's not tone deaf. Rey is not a fault. Christ.
Huh.
Perro Aguayo was one of Rey's best friends, btw.
No. Rey didn't touch him with the 619.

Their tweet was literally in the middle of a bunch of sites reporting on Perro's death and wrestlers & fans alike tweeting their shock and condolences. It couldn't have been more poorly timed.
*edit, not to mention that Rey was trending because of scumbag sites and their clickbait titles like "Rey Mysterio kills wrestler with 619".

Did anybody say Rey was at fault? No, they did not.
What's being criticized is the WWE using Rey's involvement in a tragic accident to sell Network subscriptions.
And deviating from a schedule to ensure that people don't mistake you for exploiting a tragedy for your own financial gain would NOT be stupid. It IS tone deaf.
Just substitute one of the 100 or so guys that are currently under contract and on your roster. It's not hard.

I am very glad WWE never does spots like this
Just rewatched this (not fun) - it's the bump, not the dropkick, rope, or 619. He gets dropkicked, goes to the second rope, but then his head goes forward and back incredibly quickly- that's where the whiplash occurs and he's dead on the spot. Horrible freak accident.

This is so dumb
Crowds would go insane seeing this for the first time ever, friend. This is the very definition of "sports entertainment."
