Demonman is stealing his jacket back from OldHipsterDude~

All the reason you need for a feud

Maybe when Devitt gets his jacket back he can cut out the body paint bullshit and be REAL again

Bray Wyatt vs John Cena
Bray Wyatt vs Daniel Bryan

how many other dudes has he even wrestled outside of those?

He had that feud with Ambrose that felt like it never ended.

Bray Wyatt vs John Cena

I'd disagree on Cena, and Bryan is Bryan. Agreed on who else has he wrestled.

Wyatt vs. Bryan was the first one I could name.

His match against Undertaker was passable. He apparently wrestled Jack Swagger on a couple of episodes of Main Event. There's probably a match against an Uso too.

No Shield guys, so that entire series against Dean Ambrose is out.

Since we're all about the house shows, Wyatt's wrestled Orton, Reigns, Erick Rowan, Sheamus, Big Show,

There's a random match against Sin Cara from a SmackDown and a Main Event.

But really, which recent Jericho match has stuck in your memory that makes a match against Balor worth our time?

Honestly nothing kills American interest quite like the words "World Cup"

Soccer is the worst sport on the planet next to shitty hockey. Which is basically sweeping the kitchen for a score. On ice.

 

[Data West]

Nobody paid attention to those matches though so who knows if they were bad or good

 

[klonere]

He'd need to be able to swear to pull that off I think

I wonder if he could get away with saying "feck". "Arse" seems to be fair game

 

[FallingEdge]

Playoff hockey is great. Don't know too much about the teams tho.

World Cup is the greatest sporing event in the world. So much fun to watch.

 

[avengers23]

The stupidity of the finishes outweighs anything good that people might remember from those matches.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I've had a little mess about with making some sprites, not entirely original as I was following a guide, but it's opened my eyes a little on how to use colour to create 'detail'.

This was the biggest hurdle for getting the WrestlingRPG off the ground, but now I have this part sheet/prototype to work from, I feel a lot more confident!

 

[FlammableD]

But really, which recent Jericho match has stuck in your memory that makes a match against Balor worth our time?

Depends how recent we want to go I guess. You don't have to go too far back in his match history to get to Punk, which was great, and Fandango at Mania, which I enjoyed as well (come at me)

I agree that nothing recently has been memorable, but what has he done lately? Live events and a dull but passable Wyatt feud. I don't see anything sticking out as bad in ring that makes people think he can't pull off a hell of a match with Balor.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

and what an appropriate Prototype it is~

NHL games 7 are the best. NY Rangers vs. Washington Capitals, game 7 tonight. That will likely supersede Lucha Underground and NXT.

Soccer man. Poor people need a sport too.

World Cup of Slamball would put some butts in seats.

haha yeah, I'm to spend tomorrow practicing creating different styles and gear - gloves, elbow/knee pads, boots, kickpads, etc so it should be easy to create your own person.

Ducks/Hawks is gonna be a super series.

 

[Bandini]

Gotta admit, World Cup was pretty dope the time before last when I had no job and a lot of pot and booze. Matches all day! Can't get into it as much as a productive member of society, sadly.

Taking only televised matches:

2014: vs. Bray Wyatt (Raw cage match, SummerSlam, Battleground), w/Reigns vs. Orton & Rollins (SmackDown), vs. Kane (Raw), vs. Orton (Night of Champions, SmackDown), vs. Luke Harper (Raw, SmackDown), vs. Erick Rowan (SmackDown), vs. Rollins (Raw), vs. The Miz (Raw)

If we strip the TV matches out, we have vs. Orton at Night of Champions and vs. Wyatt at SummerSlam and Battleground.

I think the Orton match was ok, but I can't remember a thing about that match.

 

[XenoRaven]

Soccer man. Poor people need a sport too.

And that's what wrestling is for.

Oh my god make this happen now

The life of a heel in 2015, one of the many problems I have with the current booking style. Kind of hard to draw any heat when you're eating L's all the time.

 

[Data West]

real bummer they couldn't do devitt vs kenta for the japanese tour

way2goitami

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Still no word if Prince Nana is coming with Moose? I hope so.

 

[Data West]

it must suck being like a 35+ year old dude still working indies

We can always get Bernard vs Devitt.

[BronsonLee]

Sir I think you mean Stokely Hathaway, the Master of Mixtapes

 

[jmdajr]

And that's what wrestling is for.

They might watch it but takes more than a ball to participate.

 

[Data West]

i'd rather see that a thousand times over than jericho vs devitt or even kenta vs devitt

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Wonder what The Lizard is up to...I know he never got that big call-up.

 

[avengers23]

The details about the UFC/Reebok deal are a point in favor of Dana White's carny as fuck credentials.

 

[XenoRaven]

It takes a trampoline, mattress, or anything soft.

Another wrestling doc, a lot of Britwres guys and the DEEJ in there.

Also Havoc has Yellow gear I never knew about.

I just imagine BJ Whitmer wakes up every day and looks at himself in the mirror, 'What the fuck am I doing with my life?'

 

[Sweeney Tom]

WWE officials were hoping to get Daniel Bryan back in the ring this month and have him defend the Intercontinental Title against King Barrett this Sunday at the Payback pay-per-view but as noted, they got MRI results back on May 8th and it was determined that Bryan would not be able to return any time soon, if ever again.

The situation has brought a lot of frustration within WWE. WWE officials want what's best for Bryan but they obviously want him working for the company and want him on TV as they have a DVD and other products coming out that need to be promoted. There has been some talk that Bryan is now so injury-prone that maybe they could best use him in a non-wrestling position.

Since Monday's RAW where he dropped the Intercontinental Title, the talk has been that Bryan is trying to figure out a way to get cleared. There's been no word yet if Bryan will be getting the surgery that he was so reluctant to get before but people are wondering if that's an option. Needless to say, a lot of people in the company really feel bad for Bryan right now.

fucking christ we're actually going to end up doing this again next year too

 

[BronsonLee]

Dear Daniel Bryan:
Do the fucking surgery.

Yours,
Franck

You know there's a problem when the heel with the highest winning percentage is Cesaro.

I thought Jericho and RVD had a long decent match on Raw before they left recently.

Late 2013, apparently.

Anyone know if king of gate will surface. Need some more DG

Late 2013, apparently.

Wow, I must have been drunk then. Feels a lot more recent.

 

[avengers23]

Apparently, I'm drunk. According to CageMatch, they had a match on the July 15, 2013 episode of Raw.

Not sure that is correct because the whole 2nd surgery was about to happen then whoever recommended it changed their mind. Bryan said that doctors were not even sure the new surgery would even work.

 

[Heel]

There just has to be a point where Bryan realizes that oil pulling isn't working.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

There just has to be a point where Bryan realizes that oil pulling isn't working.

He tried homeopathy 7 months ago, it didn't work*. Do what's needed, or accept retirement, because the alternative is what everybody sees coming, it involves being the next Angle, and nobody fucking wants it.

*And yes he did try it. He confessed to it himself on Jericho's podcast and spent 10 minutes talking indepth about it. Stop acting like it didn't happen, stop acting like everything's a work and that this is a 180 IQ person we're talking about who doesn't need what every other human needs when they suffer a major injury.

REAL ASS LESNAR

Actor Skylar Astin was on Brendan Schaub’s podcast and talked about going to UFC 184 (Ronda Rousey vs. Cat Zingano) and sitting in the owners section and his brother went up to Lesnar and said, “Dude, you gotta come back, man. You gotta come back.” Lesnar looked at Astin’s brother and said, “Sit the f*** down. You don’t know shit. What the f***.” Lesnar’s demeanor came off like he was furious. Astin said his brother’s girlfriend started crying and that Urijah Faber and T.J. Dillashaw, who were both there, just froze. Dillashaw then told Milan Astin, “Dude, he’s going to push your shit. You’re f***ed.” His girlfriend started crying again, thinking Lesnar would really do something

Harper should be pushed to the fucking moon as a monster heel`

And Data's idea for turning Big E into a hoss is still A+ book it
