March Wrasslin' |OT| Forecast for Wrestlemania...cloudy with a heavy chance of Reigns

Aiii

So not worth it
In the huge list of things WWF didn't actually invent...

The Hell in a Cell match:

As demonstrated here by this WCW "Doomsday Cage Match" between the Legion of Doom and the Mega Powers at WCW Uncensored '96.

I do miss the Doomsday cage, that was an awesome gimmick.

Goddamn, every time I watch a match of his he busts out something new.

The brightness on this laptop fucked me over. I thought he stopped in midair and flipped and was about to ask where the wire was. How it's easily explainable hot shit rather than me staring at the screen very confused.

This was a bad Raw episode. Specially aggravating before Mania.

And, man, that last segment was bad. Not only was it bad as a concept, it was also poorly executed, the crowd was half dead for it and the babyface was booed way more than cheered. Just bad.

Dear god, John Cena, nobody in Japan, the UK, Russia or most anywhere else is looking at America as the pinnacle of society. You're supposed to be the goddamned face in the feud and you just antagonized every non-American watching WrestleMania.

This writing staff needs a non-American on their team to reign in on the pro-'murica talk for -mostly- Cena promo's, that kind of arrogance really shouldn't be a part of a face's promo, he needs to confident and strong, yet humble.

But I guess wrestling companies pandering their "worldwide product" to just the US audience is not new.

Berlyn was a goddammed face, everyone. He was great!

The match is for the United States title being defended against an opponent that has spoken ill of the land the man calls home and which the title represents. I'm sorry if pride in one's country offends you friend. Try to think outside your Euro-centric mindset.

There's pride and there's arrogance, friend.
 
It's not just pride in your country though, is it? It's pride in the belief that America is the Greatest Country on Earth, land of Liberty, Peace & Freedom! Obnoxious.

As far as I'm concerned Rusev is the babyface trying to put the american arrogant in his place.

Altought is hilarious that whoever wrote that thinks that the rest of the world looks at the US as the pinnacle of everything.

I would find it more distressing if a person doesn't believe that the place he lives is the best place in the world. Otherwise, why would you stay there?

Because it's not half-bad. Because you have a job, family, friends there. Because you have an emotional attachment to where you grew up.

A gazillion reasons can contribute to wanting to live some place.

I'd love to live in San Fransisco, absolutely love that city, but there's reasons for sticking around where I live as well.

It's not that he thinks it, it's that he thinks everyone else is wrong and needs to be re-educated.

He literally said in that promo that he wanted to prove to the entire world that America is better than them.

That's a face promo to the US, sure, but not to everyone else.

Cena said he wants to prove it to people, not force people to think a certain way. That's confidence, not arrogance. He doesn't agree with those that think his country isn't special (like the guy he's fighting) and he wants to show the people that doubt him, and his homeland, what he's all about. I think distaste for Cena is making people more defensive than needed. Rise Above Distaste.

The segment was fine.

Watching Judgment Day 2005 and it is a refreshing surprise to see Hardcore Holly and Charlie Haas so over as a tag team and I had totally forgot how enjoyable Carlito was to watch.

Kurt Angle telling Booker T he wanted to rape his wife was fucked up and was exceptionally uncomfortable.

Holy fuck, watching Nitro 29 on the WWE Network, and Ric Flair comes out for the main event with Miss ElizabethWoman and this guy just went out of his way to call her a slut. Cupped his hands over his mouth and everything.

Ric Flair was not amused... :D

#GiveDivasAChance counts for The Bellas, AJ and Paige only.

I just saw Natalya lose to a surprise roll-up, in under a minute, to a bull.

Vince continues his long streak of burying Hart family-related wrestlers.

Natalya power bombed and pinned Torrito the other day.

I'm still in disbelief over that ending. I guess Vince doesn't want anyone to look weak but why not just have a stare down?

Oh well. Match might still be ok. We'll see.
 
I'm gonna assume this was on Superstars? Smackdown?

Either way it's clearly not canon. :D

They referenced Nattie beating him on SD on Raw.

Bull Nakano constantly interferes in Crane's match with Dump, and Crane finally snaps.

Can we have someone do this to the Young Bucks? Maybe Ibushi can hit Matt Jackson with some unprotected headshots.

Unprotected? Her hands were covering her face as much as humanly possible.

Road Warriors aren't in that match, and WCW had a steel cage with a roof on it for many years before this with War Games.

Reigns got booed last night?

But Hambrose said the Royal Rumble was only a one time thing and that the people already accepted him.

I watched the match. Crane went over her head and hits her head on. There's no protection, her hands don't stop anything.

Pentagon Jr got a tattoo after Perro's passing, apparently.

"Lucha isnt an easy road. If it was, anyone would be a legend...zero fear".

All of his latest tweets are about Aguayo. Heart breaking.
 
New Observer Radio has details about how Alberto got hurt - he was training for a GLORY kickboxing fight on May 8 with GOLDBERG for Spike. If Alberto's healed in time, then the fight could still be on.

Boy, some of you sure take Raw personally. Relax and have fun with it. $10 ain't shit.

Wait wait wait, the ADR V Goldberg match was kickboxing and not wrestling?

Now this really has to happen.

Nah, it's too funny. It would be difficult to have fun with it for 3 hours, like paying someone $10 to take a shit on your chest for several hours. I mean sure, it only costs $10, but do you really want it?

Wow exaggerate much? Who knew posting on GAF while watching mania was the equivalent of that?

No fun can be had.

Hmm, ending to RAW made no sense to me. Why not just have Bork F5 Roman, Bork stands tall, and then those who want to see Roman win on Sunday get ready to see him kick some butt? With that tug of war thing, Roman doesn't look like the big banana but the second, insignificant banana. His booking has been retched. Poor guy.

Vince is scared of either of them looking weak. That's all I can think.

At least we got some hall of fame gifs.

But you're not one of the people stamping feet and saying "UNTIL VINCE DIES WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS SHIT" etc

There's having fun and laughing at how bad things can be, but there's some people that just...
