Tonight's the Impact taping from Huntsville, so it will be interesting to see how a new crowd reacts to them.

Bring back Wrasslin thread!
Wait, what's wrong with "WrassleGAF"??
Man, Mark Henry is a scary dude. Kind of funny how he's changed from 1996.
I also realized, that right now there are only like 4 active wrestlers from the 90's? Christian, Big Show, Kane and Mark Henry.
(HHH and Undertaker barely/don't count)

According to some people in here, the finish of a match does nothing to the overall rating. A terrible finish does not take away from the match. Yup.
Probably the same mindset WWE Creative has.

Mark Henry is my favorite current WWE superstar. I fuckin' love everything about the guy. His look, his in-ring ability, his mic skills, everything. He's so cute... like a big huge grizzly bear. His eyes are hilarious too... so sad and innocent looking for such an imposing looking man. I'll bet anyone that he's one of the nicest guys in the WWE outside the ring. Wouldn't be surprised at all if that's the case!
EDIT: Also, it's nice to see this huge push he's getting after working for the WWE for 16 years. The guy has worked his ass off and I wish him all the best.

And if you disagree you're a goddamn mark and should be ashamed of your marky ass.
Henry
Orton
Del Rio
The Divas (yes, the Divas)
If you don't like/respect each of the above, you're a fuckin' mark. The hate that Orton gets in this thread is unbelievable. Never seen so many marks in my life.

I don't get why they don't let a match finish clean, AND THEN let the dirty shit happen like a run-in or whatever. Would have almost the same effect.Net_Wrecker said:

So if I don't like, say, the Divas, or Mark Henry, then I think wrestling is real?

It's funny, because you accusing people of being a "mark" for not liking someone can easily be thrown back at you. What's wrong with having an opinion? I can hate Orton and love Henry and still not be a "mark." Your argument makes about as much sense as the Punk/HHH/Nash storyline.

I hate Orton. Hate. Hate. Hate. He is so boring and his clotheslines are SO SHITTY. His promos are awkward and terrible and he buries everyone he faces. To top it all off he is an awful human being. The hate Orton gets in this thread is nowhere near the amount of hate he deserves to get.Heavy said:

I'd like to add that Henry is one of the few wrasslers left in the industry that actually feels larger than life, and I'm not only referring to his size... but a combination of everything that makes up a top notch, believable heel. Such a rare breed these days. Creative has done an excellent job with him these past few months.

Orton is by far one of the best in-ring performers in the business and has been for years. He does nothing but deliver top-tier match after top-tier match, even at shitty Smackdown tapings that garner 1.5 ratings. There is no one more consistent in terms of delivering quality, exciting matches than Orton right now. He's passionate and charismatic in the ring (hard to do match after match when you're working year round), he's got a great look, and he's got an exciting move-set with one of the best finishers in the biz. Hell, his finisher alone is more 'over' than most of the actual roster. The fact that you and others mention him burying people and "always winning" just reinforces my point about the marks here. Orton deserves nothing but respect.El Pescado said:

Maybe it's just me but Mark always comes off as more obese than powerful and imposing, much like how Khali's his size works to his detriment. Yes he's fucking strong, but that's never apparent by what he does in the ring, his moves lack impact and every time he executes something I'm worried he's going to suffer from a cardiac arrest.
Hell, even his finisher works not on the basis of him being strong (it's a manoeuvre most of the roster can pull off) but on the fact he's so damn fat that he's going to crush his opponent. Much like how all of his big spots revolve around him holding his opponent as he collapses into a cage wall or barrier which inevitably gives way because he's so fucking chubby.
I mean I hate Zeke, but I don't see how he's any worst in the ring than Mark and at least his move-set revolves around his strength.

There's an aura around Henry that's hard for me to explain. It reminds me of the AAA heels from the 80s. Zeke is generic bodybuilder guy #47 with no personality whatsoever. Henry is different... the combination of his overall look, his mic skills, his face, he's almost like a cartoon character villain come to life - that's the best way I can describe it. Very few dudes like him in the biz. I don't think there's a better heel right now.Spirit of Jazz said:

this is that "love him or hate him everyone respects him" crap King talks about every time Cena gets booed isnt it?Heavy said:
Nothing wrong with liking Orton or respecting him for being on the road so much and putting his body on the line but I still feel Mr 2 strikes on the wellness policy (because his 3rd strike doesnt count shhhhhhh) wouldn't be where he is today if Mr H's didnt take him under his wing.
Like I've said before, I feel people place too much emphasis on Ws and Ls and ignore the stories of the matches. Daniel Bryan lost a competitive match with a world champion? Buried!
This is how I feel about Orton's feuds with Punk and Christian. I am a massive Christian fan and I'm a massive Punk fan; even getting all emotional when they won their respective titles this year.
Thing is, Punk didn't look anything less than Orton's equal during that fued. The worst Punk looked was in their final match, and Orton still had to hit him with a Super RKO to keep him down for a 10. I still feel they should have used the punt, the move custom made for last man standing matches, but whatever. Their second match, the one on Raw, Punk was dominant and Orton fluked a win with a schoolboy. All anybody sees is the 3-0, though.
Christian's first two matches were hot shit, with him narrowly missing out on the title in face vs. face confrontations. When he turned heel, he didn't wilt like a flower. He stayed as competitive as he did before - i.e. marginally Orton's inferior, a hair's bredth away from the world title. Would I have liked a longer Christian face reign? Would I rather he'd not turned heel? Hell, would I have rather he came out the feud as the victor? Absolutely. But Christian was neither squashed nor buried as a result.
This is a fake sport; a soap opera. The stats aren't what's important - the stories are.

Here's the final card for ROH - Death Before Dishonour IX live on iPPV on September 17th;
http://www.gfl.tv/Events/Fight/Wrestling/Ring_of_Honor___Death_Before_Dishonor_IX/1146
The Ringmaster Challenge- 2/3 Falls Match
Eddie Edwards vs. Roderick Strong with Truth Martini
* First fall is pinfall only. Second fall is submissions only. If necessary, the third fall is a 15 minute Iron Man Match.
Stipulations To Be Announced (99% likely to be a Ladder War)
Jay and Mark Briscoe vs. The All Night Express
Special Challenge Match #1
Shelton Benjamin vs. The Prodigy Mike Bennett with Brutal Bob
Special Challenge Match #2
Charlie Haas vs. Michal Elgin with Truth Martini
Grudge Tag Team Match
Jay Lethal & Homicide vs. Tommaso Ciampa & Rhino with The Embassy
Three Way Elimination Match
The Young Bucks vs. Future Shock vs. The Bravados
One-On-One
El Generico vs. Steve Corino with Jimmy Jacobs
Not as spectacular on paper as the previous iPPV, but I think this one has the makings of a fantastic show. Generico vs Corino should be excellent, especially with potential Kevin Steen shenanigans, while the 3-way Elimination Tag match and Grudge tag team match should both be a lot of fun. Haas vs Elgin is going to surprise a lot of people I think, as Elgin has been threatening to break out for a while now and this could be the perfect match for him to do just that. Shelton vs Bennett could be a bit of a stinker, I'm not much of a fan of Shelton in singles matches and Bennett isn't the most impressive guy in the ring. However, a double main event of Roddy vs Eddie in an, admittedly convoluted, 2/3 falls match and The Briscoes vs The ANX in what could potentially be Ladder War III should blow the roof of, well worth my money for those two matches alone.
Meanwhile, before DBD9, Dragon Gate USA present their Untouchable 2011 show live on iPPV on September 10th with another fantastic looking card;
http://wwnlive.com/event-dgusa-9-10-11.html
Open The Freedom Gate Title Match
YAMATO defends vs. CIMA
One-On-One
PAC vs. Ricochet
Four Way Freestyle
Winners Gets To Book Future Match Match For His Stable
Masato Yoshino vs. Naruki Doi vs. Sami Callihan vs. Chuck Taylor
No DQ Match
Sabu & AR Fox vs. Arik Cannon & Pinkie Sanchez
Ronin vs. Blood Warriors
Johnny Gargano vs. Akira Tozawa
Special Challenge Match
Rich Swann vs. Jon Davis
YAMATO vs CIMA will surely be awesome, same goes for that 4-way and I'm really looking forward to Gargano vs Tozawa. PAC vs Ricochet is going to steal the show though, I'm sure of it.
These two will probably be the best PPV's of September, anyone else watching from WrassleGAF?

Amazing straw-man argument, I for one didn't have an issue with Bryan losing to Del Rio. However Punk losing to Orton clean constantly for 3 months despite having Nexus behind him, or Christian getting beat down in ever match they had together with his only wins over the 7 year period being shady makes my soap opera pretty dull. If Orton was actually able to add something to a feud on the mic, or had the talent to carry/raise the game of any other wrestler maybe him being pushed like a God would be less tedious.
