March Wrasslin' |OT| Forecast for Wrestlemania...cloudy with a heavy chance of Reigns
- Thread starter Alucard
- Start date
Watched Raw on DVR after playing MH4 last night with a friend. Liked (naturally) the Sting opening, and Rusev trashing Cena, but the rest ranged from "I watched it at 60x speed" (Hulk and Snoop Dogg, the tag team match, the Divas match, some other shit) to "ehh" (Ziggler-Bryan) to garbage (the final stare down). Anything not mentioned I've already forgotten. What a go home show!
we've entered a time where some believe themselves so smart to this business that everything is a work, all the time. in essence kayfabe has somehow morphed turned into a worked kayfabe which is presumed to be kept at all times. so when a worked kayfabe is broken, the work which is normally kayfabe is perceived as a shoot kayfabe, when it wasn't kayfabe to begin with.
i don't know, but sometimes its the simple explanation which suffices. was heyman shooting? only meltzer knows.
I give Bam Bam more credit for that. Should be in the HOF just for protecting This Business that night and keeping LT safe in the ring and avoiding "Football Legend is injured doing fake shit!" headlines.
I've been saying for years they should have made Glenn Jacobs an on-air parody of Glenn Beck. But that's too late now because Glenn Beck has become irrelevant as a pop culture personality. The only people that still care about that dude are his wacko fans, and paranoid Liberals that listen to Beck just so they can have someone to disagree with because their significant others left them months ago. So now they feel lonely, depressed, and are ready to grab the rope from the tool shed to tie around their Basketball hoop.
Dragon Kid's kinda insane, dude's been doing this crazy shit for the better part of two decades, remained relatively injury free and hasn't lost a step of pace.
Fave DGUSA dude out there.

jericho's got slide #2 down so pat he doesn't even need to be there
But he is, just off screen joining the Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass club
banging his cowbell shilling for an underwear site.
Thank you
Anytime. I think it suits him, he should steal it from Christian if he's actually retired.

I like that Owens still uses a powerbomb, but I feel like he should be using something else as a finisher. He won't be able to do that on a lot of the people on the main roster.
I've grown to respect Ryback for some reason over the past few months. Even if he is on PEDs, the dude seems to love the industry. I just wish he'd add a few more moves to his moveset. He's a more advanced Cena without the following
I don't know, but that doctor should lose his medical license for giving up that info to The Rock.

:lol :lol
He may sometimes be dumb as fuck but damn it he is our dumb as fuck.
I think Punk hurt Ryback's feelings man. Sure he physically fucked up Punk but that guy has no feelings so it's fine.
Bro. You don't want to go there. I don't want to have to hurt you. But if you continue to disparage the Greatest Defensive Player in the History of the National Football League, I'm going to have to hurt you. It's nothing personal.
It's actually completely personal.

Unsurprising, LT fans jumping to provoke people. Just like LT. LT, the wealthy man, invited all his millionaire fans to come to the wrestling and laugh at a hard working blue collar Bam Bam.

There's a really dope six-man on there, Masa Saito, Shinya Hashimoto and Kitao Koji vs Big Van Vader, Bam Bam Bigelow and Steve Williams.
Asbury Park should know its place in the Garden State pecking order.
A grizzly bear.
Catching up on RAW now.. actually pleasantly surprised. The Sting/HHH stuff isn't doing much for me, but the Nikki/Paige match was good, the Snoop Dogg segment was fantastic, and seeing Rusev destroy Swagger never gets old. Oh shit, and now he's crushing Cena. I love watching this guy work.
I've been going through all of Vader's matches on there at a super slow pace. I think I've watched the first six. The big takeaway I've gotten so far is that all the matches seem completely chaotic. People getting knocked outside the ring, tables being thrown, barricades being broken, Vader going out in the crowd and scaring people, etc.
In one match, Inoki stabs Vader in the arm with a pointed object and Vader blades his arm to the point where it looks like something out of a CZW gif (specifically the one where the guy cut his leg on the light tubes).
It's also fun to see Young Lion Suzuki in random shots.
I'm starting to like Ryback more and more. Actually, it's not really his fault I disliked him (more like disliked his positioning). I just felt he was thrown into the title picture way too soon. You can't do that with guys. They need that experience of being in the spotlight in front of thousands. They need time to go over with the crowd. And like I said, it was the way he was booked, not his fault. But, now I'm ready for feeding time. Loving Ryback as a wrestler and as a person. Can't wait for an inevitable run in with Brock Lesnar and another push. I think he'll be ready by then.
Ryback rulez!
For one, it's a great feud. For another, I really think Cena is fine with not being in the spotlight of the show for once. I know he does the "the fans can change what they want, I don't care, really!"-shtick, but I'm sure he's not to bothered with Reigns talking all that heat for once.
Besides, he's really been good at putting guys over for the last year or so, must be fun for him too.
Here is another somewhat recent interview that made me like Ryback a little more. He just seems really humble and down to earth.

Not No Mercy. 3 HHH matches in one night is too much even if the 6 man was fun.
EDIT: Judgement Day is a lot of fun if you turn it off before the final match. CM Punk V Burke is great as is Benoit/MVP.
Yeah he touches on that in the interview. I'm just glad it blew over. Sometimes these chants haunt a wrestler for damn near their whole career.
Rosenberg is a fantastic dude. I love 99% of his interviews, he's a passionate wrestlng fan too, so he's not just some shill. I wish his station was on in Chicago.
Yeah. And their is definitely a mutual respect between the wrestlers and him. Which is good, brings out good interviews. Good thing is we get pretty much all the interviews on youtube.
Gotta lead in with sports before going to sports entertainment.
