Well damn
Makes you realize how rare it is for a wrestler to have his career run for this long with as relatively few health scares as Sting has had.

Sting's a good dude. He'll be treated well by Vince/HHH I bet.

These indie superstars getting out promo'd by Performance Center start ups.
They are building that Samoa Joe turn very well with all those hints.
Yes though they are going to have the pressure on them to trump the previous match.

Yes, but when you know Bayley is obviously winning that match, it kind of takes away from it a little bit.
wcw nitro episode 7-
benoit's first wcw match... against eddie. of course.
incredible match. the fucking killed each other.
after the match, bischoff: "the international committee is considering creating a WCW cruiserweight division including names like guererro, malenko and benoit." HUGE.
also I need to call the hotline for sweet wwf scoops
disco inferno keeps coming out even though he's not booked to work. love it.
evil hulk hogan promo. he calls himself evil hulk hogan. still a baby face though. looking forward to his match with that big stinky giant.
holy shit the crowd pops huge for sting. dude is easily getting the loudest reactions out of anyone in wcw.

I watched the New Day one, it was literally just the New Day eating dinner and shooting the shit. Pretty fun.
It was obvious Bayley was winning in Brooklyn too, didn't matter once the match started.

That shouldn't surprise anyone. There's no promo classes on the indies, it's barely a focus at all - in-ring promos are reserved for announcements and heels getting heat by talking too much, while backstage promos (outside of a few of the more talented & creative individuals) are mostly short, generic & off-the-cuff affairs to hype up a single match more than any well written, nuanced promo that's going to sustain a feud.

C+ for Final Four is damn harsh. It's a great show.

Pretty much. There are -very- few good promos on the indies. Most are managers, which WWE doesn't usually go for now.

Perk up, brother. Seth Rollins' ratings terrorism will have Bryan be cleared in time for Monday night.

Just started NXT and we have Super Dragon chants. Amazing.

Rollins hit the move like he always does. Sting's landing was the problem, not anything that Rollins did, specifically.
You can argue that Rollins should know the impact his moves have, and structure his matches around the capabilities of his opponents, and that's fair, but you can just easily argue that Sting has been wrestling for longer than Rollins has been alive, has been training his ass off for months, and should have known what he was and was not capable of doing/taking and suggested to Rollins alternatives to spots that he couldn't handle.
They did the spots because Sting thought he could take them, and he was wrong. He paid the price, though hopefully without any serious long-term injuries, and Seth will hopefully learn to be more considerate in the way he does his matches.
How the narrative is now shifting to "Seth is unsafe in the ring and a giant piece of shit" is beyond me. The guy has his problems as a performer, but there's literally zero evidence that he's some kind of bad, reckless asshole. About the worst you can say is he's dating a moderately racist hipster, but people countenance all kind of shit when love and sex are involved.

I think I appreciate their brevity.
Looking at the card, I'm pretty sure I was not feeling the first three matches.

Once again, it's a damn shame Larry Sweeney didn't make it.
But, now you're the one, Chuck Taylor.

You're a great poster here and you make a lot of valid points, but Disco Inferno says otherwise, and I'm compelled to listen to the man.

With news of Roman being #2 in merch sales, I'm glad to see the WWE Universe wasn't fooled by Internet fans trying to feed them a tall Swiss guy with no mic skills, a French Canadian comic book clerk, a vegan with a broken body, or a balding Brian Pillman cosplayer, and stayed true to the future of the business.

Internet fans are indeed foolish, they think they can change the fortunes of a billion dollar company through a series or tubes. Some even think they can find love. It's ridiculous.
