May Wrasslin' |OT| Dontaku about Legit Shook

There were two threads about Kane in the OT last week, and this is what you people come up with? I know it's ironic coming from me, but I really don't get the Bo thing. The WWE isn't even trying to really push this guy, so I don't even get the criticism, really. What's the obsession? I know it's supposed to be funny, but WrassleGAF's obsessions are usually with established guys actually doing stuff, so I'm lost here.

I don't get it. At least AJ is hot, and Kane and HBK are legends. WrassleGaf obsessions usually make sense. Bo Dallas is an ugly fuck with no talent.

I would even accept a Curtis Axel obsession over Bo Dallas.

It's gotten out of control.

Well there's now a thread for it so we can talk about pure wrassels in here.

I might end up buying Aniversario. I tend to avoid a lot of Chikara just because I end up avoiding it on accident, but I might make an honest effort. I really like pretty much every match Angelosetti's ever been in.

I'm not worried about pure wrestling talk. I just think the joke has gone too far. He hasn't been on TV in months as far as I can tell.

I'm just one guy though. If you're enjoying yourselves, by all means, go ahead.

The lizard drawing is still fucking hilarious though. My god.

NXT is the best thing going in WWE right now, it's Sami Zayn week!

It's Sami Zayn week this week, forget Bo Dallas. He's the next big thing.

This brightened my day



WWE seems intent on pushing Bo despite his look. We all figured maybe we're just kinda weird and have unrealistic expectations or think his face is weirder than it truly is - so it's up to the public to say how they feel. Looks like we aren't wrong. I don't think an image consultant could find a look that WORKS for this guy. He just looks so damn weird.

I mean do you REALLY want a "Let's all worship Batista's body" thread in earnest, Soul? I think not.

Considering he debuted in the Rumble, had a match on Raw that no one liked and were upset over the result, and hasn't been on real WWE TV since, I'd say they aren't super intent on pushing him. He's doing what he's doing in NXT, but NXT hasn't been super applicable to main WWE. Examples: Big E as monster face in NXT, back up muscle in WWE. Seth Rollins as John Cena of NXT, member of heel stable in WWE. Dean Ambrose wasn't even on TV for months before Shield.

I actually think its even shittier they haven't tried to sustain anything with Bo. He just showed up, made Barrett look like an even bigger bitch, then went away. Its like Vince had this idea he was gonna be the next big thing then all of a sudden realized hes Bo fuckin' Dallas.

It is a combo of both. Sorry. I plan to finish up everything with the exception of the final four this weekend.

Thats cool. I was just making sure I hadn't missed anything.

Does Sunflower hate the Community section that much?

I don't hate it. I just feel we should be more mainstream, so I'm taking steps to try to raise our mindshare in Neogaf's OT. Welcome to Sunflower's Corporation.

The sound of his tail bone and then head cracking against the ice was disgusting.

I never heard it. That reminds me...

Sure, it's a gruesome subject but one that should break Bootaaay out of his self-imposed funk he's currently in. No amount of Bo will get him but this question might.

What's the sickest chairshot you've ever seen? Gif or video form preferred.
 

Aiii

So not worth it

I gif'd it, but I should have put the video of it up instead because the gif couldn't capture the speed and sound of the chair shot, but Kanyon hit SMOOV with a chair so hard it broke it own hand.

We're no less mainstream than any other thread in the Community forums.

Unless you're one of those dinosaurs who thinks that Community = graveyard, in which case you're entirely wrong.

I don't get it. At least AJ is hot, and Kane and HBK are legends. WrassleGaf obsessions usually make sense. Bo Dallas is an ugly fuck with no talent.

I would even accept a Curtis Axel obsession over Bo Dallas.

I think anyone would take Curt Axel over Bo. Axel is a pretty decent wrestler who could do okay with Paul.

Nothing can save Bo Dallas.

I feel really bad for you losers who can't see Bo's raw, unexplored talent. He could be the best in the world, even better than Cena if he works at it. I feel sorry that you're so blind to anyone who's not from DA INDIE CIRCUIT and like boring guys like foreign heel #58 I mean Antonio Cesnoreo

El Hijo de Perfecto was actually one of the most engaging guys live at the terrible Raw I went to. I'm not sure why it doesn't come across as much on TV. I think he'd really click if he had a real storyline and focus other than "guy who wrestles on Superstars and sometimes wears shorts and a wave cap for some reason".

i dont understand about AJs submission hold is why cant the opponent just walk over to the ropes and get a count release, or just fall back and put AJ in a pin?

The mistake was debuting him as some kind of 'big deal'. I mean, they didn't even change his look FFS. At least with Albert they tried to make him look a little different and he used different moves. Guys you hype like that need to look like Brock Lesnar or have some insane continuity past.
 
I'm loving the ** ****** thread, Sunflower.

Not quite as much as I'm loving the angry/confused reactions from some people in this thread though.

What was the reaction here when McGillicutty redebuted?

Anticipation, a moment of excitement, then that farting noise when a balloon deflates. After that, it was sort of the XBone reveal, only instead of rage, it was a mix of curiosity, apathy and then incredulity at the lengths Haitch went to to bury this guy.
