Why is Dean having a THIRD shot at AJ's title btw?

Cena isn't around. And the only other free face on Smackdown is Ellsworth.

And Ziggler.

Lol Ziggler.

How come Cole didn't scream out that wcw won the war like he did for wwf at mania. A true mystery



he's talking about hhh, who booked himself to go over lesnar a few years ago.

What are the chances that Triple Haitch will go over Goldberg at Wrasslemania?

The King of Kings.

The Cerebral Assasin.

dude, you have to see the match

I felt like I was teleported into the nineties. In the last month wwf has booked goldberg better then they have any of their own guys for the past twelve years.

I feel like they're still bent on Rollins vs HHH in a pedigree showdown

I just want to say, look at the crowd from Takeover and the crowd last night. It was a festival of silence up until the shield reunion and Goldberg squashing Lesnar.
 
W T F

LOLOLOLOL

O_O

This is why I love wrasslin, for the few times they can still genuinely surprise ya.

Anyone who has watched the product the past few years has seen how unstoppable Bork has been booked, for him to just get squashed like that by a WCW guy of all people, W T F!

So random lol, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLDBERG!

WCW WON THE WAR! WHOOOOO!

Planet Coaster has done a great job of killing my self-esteem in regards to creativity compared to everyone elseo n the internet
 
As someone who kinda hated WCW in the late 90's and thought Goldberg was fucking trash....MEH.

ROH last night was good fun, Bucks & Briscoes had a proper crazy tag match and the Ospreay vs Scurll TV title match was excellent.
 
This is not a good thing right? It can't be.

Good short term but terrible long term. They've been booking guest talent over their main roster for years though so in that sense it's predictable they spent Brocks build on Berg. I'm just surprised it went to him rather than someone like The Rock.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I have no idea where this goes and it certainly doesn't go anywhere good apart from a Brock win and ????.

Props to ICW, all the footage I've seen from F&L has been top notch and super professional. Reminds me of a Dragon Gate PPV.

On SS:

Imagine staying up to 4am to see a squash match LOL

to be honest

I would have loved it. Couldn't do it because I have work today so woke up early to watch the ppv before I left.

Obviously booking wise it could and probably will be a giant mess, but as a spectacle it was something.

Absolutely, their production has never been trash, but they really pulled it out for this show.

Glad it went well enough they're doing it again next year. Looking forward to getting a month sub to watch the show some time this week.

I just love how casual that is. "Yeah, just SSP'ing off the ringpost, no biggie".

kinda regretting not going to the show, especially after it moved to York Hall

Is there a more generic, nebulous 'guy on the internet with no experience in writing' hallmark than the word 'uninspiring'?

Was a real fun show, one of the most irritating crowds I've seen yet though, lol. This is now how a count goes in York Hall;

Ref: ONE!
Crowd: TWO!
Crowd: MOOSE!
Crowd: FUCK MOOSE!
Ref: TWO!
etc.

All night, ffs. I've got to stop mentioning it on twitter though, some fuckers kept tagging Moose and I had to explain to him why it's become so annoying lol.

I'd go with insipid, just for a bit of added flavour.

I was going to go to bed but youtube recommended I rewatch LA Park vs El Mesias and now that I've started it I can't stop until it's over.

It's a great match

He's so fucking proud of that

The york hall crowd fucked me right off at Global Wars, that may just have been me being behind the fuck moose section bantering all night tho

I swear the crowd didn't used to be as packed with nobheads, seems to have started at the Angle show.

Also, I don't fucking get the reactions to Will, Sabre and Marty. It's bizarre - they've turned on Will for little to no reason, they turned on Zack, again, for little to no reason, yet they love Marty no matter what he does. Last night he was a cheating bastard and got cheered for it, while at Global Wars he was hugely popular and Sabre was booed, but then when Marty turned on Sabre they booed Marty and gave Zack a "thank you Zack" chant?!

I dunno, some people just like being contrarian dickheads I guess? Zack wasn't too bad as they were teasing a heel turn all year, but Will makes 0 sense, beyond they just love Scurll. Which I get to be fair, it took PROGRESS a good year, attacking RETURNING FROM CANCER TRAV AND RE-RETIRING HIM, and attacking a co-worker to get Scurll over as a heel, and even then it's still not 100% unanimous.

Golberg saying to Lesnar "You're last" = Once in a Lifetime?

I expect Golberg even fighting with James Ellsworth if that brings the money liast night's fight did.

Yeah, a heel turn prompted by his re-association with Marty, who the crowd fucking love regardless! In the end Zack didn't turn, Marty turned on him instead and guess who the crowd still adore? The Villain. Even when he's kicking people in the dick to win a title. I miss when Jimmy was on top in PROGRESS, back when the crowd could acknowledge that, yeah, this guy is REALLY good, but it wouldn't really be appropriate for us to cheer him when he's trying so hard to be such a cunt.

The Ospreay stuff is bizarre. I tried getting some responses on it from twitter, the general consensus seems to be that he's been given "too much, too soon" and has an "arrogant in-ring persona". Just mad to me that in 5 months in the same building he's gone from being given a hero's welcome after winning the BOSJ to being booed for little reason in a ROH title match.

I guess a lot of fans nowadays just don't like long term babyface main eventers. Growing up with a decade plus of Super Cena and hindsight opinions of Hulkamania has distorted everyone's view of what a top babyface should be. Seriously, I love OSW and all those other review shows but they all look at 80s Hogan and go "this dickhead was the good guy?" Even among the puro fans Tanahashi and Okada get flack for being on top.
 
I don't have a problem with goldberg going over. Its fictional, age should never come into play like any other fictional tv show. Now if he was out of shape then thats a different thing.

Anyway praise the hero lesnar sacrificing himself for the crimes committed by HHH against wcw and the debut of STANG.
 
I prefer faces chasing titles rather then holding them, as long as the owner/gm/etc is NOT an impediment to the face. Like, the heel should do everything they can to win the match, and the authority figure should either not intervene, or intervene slightly on behalf on the face - if the heel is running away, they should be booked in a lumberjack match, if they're using foreign objects make it a no dq match, if they're receiving outside assistance make it a cage match. The authority figure should never look like they're siding heavily with one side or the other.

he should have bought the stinger instead of his son lol - could have paraded him in the ring after his victory too!

Yeah there is some fundamental shift needed in top babyface character booking. While people can get behind the chase and the eventual victory, it's afterwards when the problems start happening. Another example - Haskins getting boos vs. Gibson! What the fuck, seriously. Maybe divisive champions are the only option, turn it more into a true sport with supporters of a side rather than a panto crowd taking part in the play.

Austin and the NWO have a lot to answer for.

Watch the match, the crowd reactions make everything even better and more pure

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to. I'm sure there's a streamable out there somewhere heh.

Thinking about it, a 90 second squash plays pretty well in the MMA stuff where that can absolutely happen. Goldberg should have hit the Jackhammer and slapped on a kimura or choke or something though heh.
