- Thread starter tm24
- Start date
At a UK house show I went to around this time last year, Swagger was over as hell with the kids in the audience. Cheers and chants were about on par with Reigns.

So no hashtag with James was made.

So Tajiri has some sort of ambassadorial role with WWE - took part in CWC etc...
His match against super crazy at ECW is considered one of the greatest of all times (on alot of top 50 lists anyway)
I really want him to be a surprise entrant in RR '17
I'd pop for that

Lttp but AJ was great last night.
Tajiri was the only reason this Cruiserweight thing had any ounce of salt for me and I still haven't seen him. :'(
Hoping they can do something fun with him. The Rumble without a few surprise/throwback entrants is awful.

Tajiri, Kendrick and a couple of guys from Lucha Underground were the only draw for me. I am still glad they are actually giving them a chance - despite it undoubtedly getting forgotten soon.
I totally agree about the rumble. I love it when the clock ticks down and then you hear some music you haven't heard in years and years. The crowd goes wild and you can't help but smile.

You need to listen to his two part podcast with Bruce Prichard, very good stuff.
That's awesome. Can't wait to see what he does.

It's already happened mate,
He
Beat his first opponent
Got knocked out by Gran Metalik
Both his matches were performed with veteran level precision. I was very happy.

I really wish they'd sell that Ellsworth shirt. I want to buy it and wear it.
EDIT: Whoa. It exists!

If these Styles/Michaels at the Rumble rumours are true, i will mark out like marks have never marked.

What I'm uncomfortable with the AJ DQ lost last night is that they announced AJ vs Dean and if Dean wins, he'll be the #1 contender for the World Title. So in conclusion, Dean will be #1 contender and AJ would have lost 3 consecutive times in a row.

Also:
-- Braun crushed Ellsworth, but AJ is "struggling" against him despite being the world champ
-- AJ has been called out for how good and technical he is, but he keeps letting his guard down against Ellsworth
The ellsworth feud is seriously making AJ look "weak" and not by typical OMG CENA standards, in actual friggin story telling

Speaking of shirts, my Nakamura shirt arrived today. Comfy as fuck too, and roomier than I'd expect for a medium.
In other news, somebody I know mentioned the game Kane & Lynch, so I couldn't get this stupid idea out my head.

If the rumour gains ground we can start the hype fest.
I've said from the start the Ellsworth thing is a heap of dog shite. I honestly don't know what the intention was. All I keep coming back to is how HHH likes to punish people who have made their fame elsewhere because of blah blah pay your dues or blah blah WWE way.
CM Punk - poor booking at his start
Bryan Danielson - Lost in a squash match after one kick from Sheamus at WM.... for the TITLE. It was the curtain jerker and like 9 seconds. An insult.
Samoa Joe & Nakamura - Been in NXT for ages despite being better than 90% of the main roster....
Catching up on Smackdown right now.
Naomi is suddenly becoming a super solid ring worker and a legitimately good face. Her match with Alexa really surprised me.
Also never thought I would in any way enjoy the team of Orton and Kane. But here I am.
Smackdown takes the time to do good old fashion wrestling storylines where the line between faces and heels is clear. You need to do the simple things to get people invested in the first place.

What's blown my mind about Naoimi is she's been incredibly over since redoing her image. The cheers may not be as much during the match, but you can hear the kids going nuts the moment her music and dance kick in.
I had no faith in her repackaging but it's really starting to get some momentum.

I know this isn't the WWE 2k17 thread but if anyone here has that game on PS4 and fancies some matches - add me up
Me and my mates play most nights from 10 and we all know online is better than Single Player.
Luvs_2_Squidge is my PSN - just put the word WWE in the invite

I don't know if this fan can hold more shit, but it's going to hit it anyway.

Is it weird I'm more excited to see what this holds than I am Goldberg Vs Brock again?
While both are sure to be trainwrecks, this one is more immediate.
We hear these rumors that Shawn is coming back every year around WM time.
It's not true.

I'd settle for either so nothing stops them 'member berries taking over

Yeah, I'm not feeling this Ellsworth shit at all.
This + Ambrose fucking with him.

And he only lost yesterday because he kept beating on him and got DQ'd

Only smart if you view as a mark.
Anyone with a wrestling brain can plainly see they are trying to build Ambrose as the heel you want to see get beaten. AJ is going to beat him when they go one on one. It's not good story telling at all.
It's pretty much the most basic wrestling storyline you can come up with.

I fucking hate 'beat the champ in a non-title match and you earn a title match' stipulations.
Ambrose and Style is another case of feuds that just need to fucking die and stop being repeated. Ambrose better lose clean at Survivor Series and we get Miz vs Styles for TLC.

For real. If you are going to have a rivalry make it about wrestling matches, make it about who's better.
Sure, be a heel and cheat and don't have clean wins etc... but the angle they have now is terrible.

Now lets see him do a spear and suicide dive
Again, maybe it's me being the fun police but I just don't see it. You could do the whole "dean fucking with AJ" thing without needing to have this whole comedy gimmick thing.
