I'd never wish injury on anyone, but I won't miss Reigns

Gonna be so awesome when he's the surprise Royal Rumble entrant at number 30.
They're all barely off sync with each other. But they sound so similar. Like they were all written on the same day.

Watched a TON of indie wrestling this past week, some really good shows from the likes of SMASH Wrestling in Canada (check them out, seriously), Beyond Wrestling, AIW & AAW. If you read the 'NXT Five' interview on WWE.com you'll recall Seth's quote about how the indies are constantly renewing themselves - new talent always comes along to fill the gaps, but sometimes it takes a while and you have to seek those talents out. Anywho, it's really refreshing to watch an indie show where you know less than half of the dudes on the roster and come away pleasantly surprised. Also, to find that guys who were only 'promising' a year or two ago are now 'freaking awesome' and tearing it up in a major way. GIFs;
INDIE WRESTLING *clap, clap, clap clap clap*

Hope your not taking those posts seriously.
Its funny that both Bryan and Reigns got the pushes when WWE knew they had injuries that could cost them time. Then during the push the injuries put them out at the worst moments.
The big thing is Bryan will probably be back before Reigns comes back.

They're a great promotion, lots of talented guys & girls working for them - I'd really, really recommend SMASH, though. I enjoyed the hell out of their past two events, not a bad match on the cards.
Hopefully around that time they give him a better theme and new attire. He reminds me of Bubba Ray during the time of the dudley split in wwe.

guy is already catching injuries before getting main event spots?
watch him win return and win the rumble or something
eh i'm not as up to date with wrasslegaf as i'd like to be, hard to discern what's a joke versus an actual opinion
my bad!i guess that makes sense

LMFAO @ this post I'm literally dying right now.
Sorry yall but their #2 baby face out for the rest of the year is hilarious in some ways.
They really were banking on that bland buffoon being a more serious bad boy cena come WM31.
They need to start pushing ambrose and their healthy guys. ziggler, ambrose, cesaro, jack swagger. seriously. They're far better in the ring and the crowd gives these guys more noise when they're booked properly.
They litterally killed all the momentum for cesaro. Same with Swagger and this dumb feud they now have him in. Ziggler has been reduced to top midcard when the crowd has wanted him the main event for over a year now...
this is hilarious. if only cena was out right now too. I wonder how they would start booking their roster. maybe actually make the product interesting again.
I believe... Cena has had at least 3 major injuries/time off, but he has this freaky recovery time window and is usually back in the nick of time

They don't really have any heels to book him against to get him over. except lesnar who will probably only work with already famous guys.
Well the one time I remember him being out was before the Royal Rumble return.
The elbow injury, he was back like a week later.
Before he was #1:
The fake injury to film the Marine
after #1:
neck injury
Pec injury- which led to a Royal Rumble return
dude hasn't really missed a long stretch ever. pretty crazy. hgh is a hell of a drug

i forgot about that movie. his wrestling gimmick changed so that it seemed like he used to serve in the military.

Reigns got hurt as soon as he stopped working with rest hold Randy?
Brock will destroy him and turn his bones into dust.

WCW Monday Nitro 4/28/96
This was a fun ass show, friends. Another week without Hogan. Both tag matches were fun and hot. Regal and Finlay beat each other up in a parking lot. A title change. It was fun, playful, quick, and hot. It's amazing how much better the past 2 weeks have been without any of Hulk's bullshit around. Oh yeah, and the first GLACIER PROMO!

Cena has to be wrestling with some pretty fucked up injuries. There's really no other way.

Hernias are injuries. They can be very easy to get, but they're still injuries.

GLACIERRRRR!!!
Yeah, I think the shit Cena gets is for his on-screen character. At least it is from me. Dude can even go with the right opponent, he just does the Hogan thing of only working as hard as he needs to.
Its an injury because it can happen from working out. I've had it twice because the first time I got stiches and that broke. So I have a mesh now.
I feel sorry for him he had the worse kind. My was not that one though I had it for like 3 weeks before it was correctly diagnosed. I had to keep pushing it back in and it basically it caused me to get neck problems from compensating for it when I walked with it.
The pain after the surgery sucked too.

I can see it now..
Seth cutting that heel promo about how Reigns is too scared when suddenly.
The pop will be glorious.
WWE Needs to make Dean the guy. Too bad Reigns will still most likely when The RR. I feel bad for Bryan, he had his moment but I don't see him coming back into the main event apon return.
I do. Did you see that pop he had at Money in the Bank? Dude is still mega over and is still getting mainstream media coverage.
Bootaaay, nice gifs. Are those from Smash, AIW, or somewhere else? I see Hanson in the second gif. I've become a fan since being lukewarm on the guy back in February when he was booked to win the ROH Top Prospect Tournament.
Indy (or indie?...seriously, which one? Both?) wrestling is great right now. Tons of alternatives are out there if you're not feeling the WWE.

You people are marks. Everyone knew as soon as Reigns got his big push that the head honchos wanted him to lose the baby fat. You think Vince wants the fans to know that Roman got cosmetic surgery? Hell no, he doesnt want that. To him the only men that get cosmetic surgery, are "pussies, and Canadians". Only good cosmo surgery to him are the kind that he feels is necessary(this to him is necessary).
Good time to do this, too. They want to keep the title on Brock till Wrestlemania, and Roman's recent feuds leading up to Mania haven't exactly set the world on fire. So why not give him a break, and get him that surgery he's needed for awhile now. Just come up with an "Injury" that doesn't have to happen in the ring that covers up his visit to the hospital, and *bam* Roman doesn't have to wear the SWAT gear anymore.
It's a conspiracy you guys, and you all have puppet strings attached to you.

Really? I find it to be the complete opposite. His storytelling is incredible and he does things that normal viewers don't notice but make sense in the match. He's also really good at selling everything in the match as well. I think he's awesome. He isn't a technician by any means but has a varied moveset and utilizes it pretty well in the reigns of the match. Plus he's willing to do some crazy bumps (then again so is Rollins).
Austin's offense consisted of punches, kicks, corner stops, and an occasional neck breaker or suplex, and then a stunner...
You don't need a million moves to be "the guy."
See:
-Hogan
-Cena
-Austin
Even Bret, who had more in his toolkit than these guys, wasn't immune to the five moves of doom.
The only guys who had an interesting and more varied moveset were probably The Rock and Edge. He'll, even H.

That was awhile back, though. Since then anytime we've seen him without the Kevlar he's been looking flabby.Roman doesn't have the titties Rock had.

Those were from Beyond Wrestling's Battle of New England show, which I'd definitely recommend;

I was the same way with Hanson, thought his gear looked stupid and he wasn't all there yet at first, but in the past few months he's been really impressing me. Also, I generally prefer indie, probably because it's that way in music.

So with Reigns out of action, who are they gonna push in the meantime?
Please not Orton...again.

Hope Reigns recovers quickly. This screams Ambrose showing up.
If it's true about the production crew getting laid off, good luck to them and I hope they find work very quickly.
Also, KING OF TRIOS GUYS WHEE
