Pro-wrestling discussion thread

I think he is 50 shades of boring. Awful on the mic and boring in the ring. Why he is so popular I have no idea. He is the weakest member of The Shield. Should of kept him as a silent powerhouse for a while more.

He is Vince's ideal guy.

To do what? He's far too good to meander in the Mid Card and right now the Main Event is too crowded for him.

I know that but the crowds seem to love him surely it can't still be love from The Shield days.

Who remembers this... lmmfao

I do LMFAO ahh man poor Sid. Him and Scott Steiner had some magnificent bombs on the mic.

Upper-mid card. A feud for the IC or US Title.

ARGH! Does anyone have a good link for Lucha Underground Ep 9. I'm can't get through Aztec Warfare on the one's I've found so far.

I wanna finish it before the Royal Rumble so I can compare.

Vince writing Roman's promos....suffering succotash indeed....

Faster than a speeding bullet, can leap tall buildings in a single bound, faster than a locomotive.... who came up with that horsesh!t promo?

Superman Cena, Superman booking, Super Reigns- These are slurs that the internet wrestling communities use. So why get Reigns to us them? Reigns certainly does have an it factor. Otherwise he'd be getting heavy boo's with how obnoxious WWE are about pushing him.

@foolsgold:

Oh yeah, I definitely think he has great potential. His moveset isn't the greatest but he executes them well. I'd just like to see what he can so when he speaks for himself. And remember when he used the powerbomb....

Modified Sunset flip into a Pin followed by a one handed Power bomb? That was f"cking awesome. I think In Ring wise, Reigns will be fine for a Main Event match come Mania if he continues to work hard, I fear for his mike skills though.

@foolsgold: Yeah, even using a regular powerbomb like he did with the Shield would add something to his moveset. The tilt a whirl slam is cool, the spear should be more of a setup move IMO but he does it well. The Superman Punch pops the crowd and looks good when executed well. Just let the guy find his own voice or like you said it could get bad...

Rollins is gonna cash in at the Royal Rumble

The final four is gonna be Ziggler, Bryan, Ambrose, & Reigns

I wanna see more of these two, or at least Cesaro

Does anybody go on bleacher report for their wrestling news?

Yep.

Seth Rollins was good on the mic on the latest ep of Raw. Like, really good.

@comicstooge: how do u feel about the internet wrestling community on that site?

I find them a mixed bag. They need to stop going on and on about Punk.

At the same, I hate articles like this: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2327385-john-cena-winning-championship-at-royal-rumble-is-the-swerve-wwe-needs

@comicstooge: yeah cm punk is gone they need to get over it. Bleacher report writers or the lowest. Sharon gets reeled in the comments all the time.

Roman Reigns is so Terrible to listen to on the Mic... I guess all we really have know is Dean Ambrose until Dolph Ziggler comes back. I kind of like Rusev though with the whole Russia against America thing... or maybe it's just Lana I am liking.

They need to get that WWE Championship away from Brock Lesnar... I keep forgetting the WWE even has a Champion considering how spotty of appearances Brock has with the WWE.

Agreed.

Honestly, Dean is the one they should be pushing. Put Roman in another tag team until he finds his footing.

I don't think they planned on Dean being the breakout star of the Shield. Regardless of how he's been booked win/loss wise, he's definitely the most over of the 3. The guy keeps losing and drawing the most cheers.

When rusev comes out, I never look at him, I look directly at lana.

Exactly.

WWE's gonna keep doing what theyr'e doing though and pulling John Cena 2.0 down our throats.

Seth Rollins is excellent though.

Not a bad RAW at all. My opinions of the night.

Opening segment was okay #Getonwithit. Seth Rollins showed why out of the three shield members he is the main focus.

Great on the mic and entertaining to watch in the ring.

I really couldn't care less about the new day it just looks like three guys doing the same gimmick. I don't mind Kidd And Cesaro as a tag team the more tag teams the better in my eyes.

Macho Man in The Hall Of Fame. ABOUT TIME. Those impressions were woeful. It was probably Roman Reigns best promo though.

Speaking of which, what the hell was Reigns talking about. We know Big Show is old how is that an insult. I will chalk that one down to bad writing. Match was boring but at least it continues the feud of Big Show and Reigns. Keep Reigns away from main events for a while. He is just not ready.

Divas match - Didn't care

Ambrose psych evaluation - Meh

Brock and Paul hyping up the Royal Rumble PPV. Nice to see the Championship on TV.

Jay and The Miz - Going nowhere just end this line of booking please. More Sandow.

Daniel Bryan - Hypes himself up and Stephanie plugs a DVD. I for one have no interest in seeing Kane and Daniel anymore.

Rollins backstage gets confronted by Brock and Rollins once again showing why out of the three shield he is the focus. Good tension building for the Rumble match.

Paige and Brie - Okay match. I don't watch Total Divas so I have no idea what the full story here is. All I can think is another wrestler made to be a reality star such a shame.

The Ascension - Man where do I begin. I am a fan of The Ascension I was really excited to find out they got called up and then...........ugh. Well I don't think The Ascension should of spoke and if they were why the hell did they even acknowledge the similarities between them and LOD. Let alone talk smack about Demolition and LOD for cheap heat they don't need it. I have no problem with them wrestling jobbers I think there should be more of it. Your talent looks strong and no one loses out. Thank god Booker T is on commentary now at least he tried to make The Ascension look good. JBL seriously need to shut the hell up. Are you a heel commentator a face commentator or just an annoying a**hole. Sometimes I have no idea.

Lana and Rusev - I love these guys I love the gimmick and I enjoy most of his matches. For a man with very few works he is a lot better than Reigns on the mic (Last time I swear). The match was good and with the outcome Rusev is protected and Ambrose didn't have to get pinned, well done.

The contract signing was probably one of the best ones in WWE history Paul great as always and Rollins was brilliant. The ending was great and a well needed ending to good RAW after the couple of poor ones we had.

Man, Swagger is wasted in WWE. He should've gone to the UFC.

So does anyone have any Royal Rumble predictions? I haven't seen RAW for a few weeks and I'd like to know who's likely to win. Is it Daniel Bryan? Would making up for last years Rumble be the right thing to do this year?

I would like to see Dean Ambrose win the Royal Rumble... even over Daniel Bryan.

Sting's return was awesome at the end of RAW.

@king_saturn:

The Sting distraction sounded pretty cool, plus the shmoz afterwards.

Is Ambrose feuding with Whyat still?

@d9000: it'll be like last year

XD

Man, last year's royal rumble was HILARIOUS

Mild Soft Swearing in the videos.

I rewatched the Jericho vs Steamboat match at Backlash 2009. Man, Steamboat was still amazing.

ROMAN REIGNS wins the Royal Rumble..... Thoughts and comments anyone???

I've got plenty!!

I feel bad for the people who paid for the Royal Rumble. They're giving it all away tonight.

Hahahaha and that is why they will never get a dime of my $$.

This Lesnar vs Cena business get's old! it isn't intense anymore!

Same here. Torrents are my friend.

What's the name of the guy in black who faced Brock and Cena? He's fcking insane!

Seth Rollins

Man, I remember when Cesaro was a Beast... now they have diminished his momentum.

God, that Royal Rumble crowd gave no love to Roman, even with The Rock by his side. He's not the future.

@albusan: dang, I didn't think if actually be right

lmmfao

Paige during the Arnold Schwarzenegger HOF segment

PRO-WRESTLING BATTLE: WWE Royal Rumble VS Lucha Underground Aztec Warfare

Irony was that they were cheering for him last year. Ambrose is the way to go

They were cheering for him in the same vain that they chanted for Rusev this year.....because he was lesser of two things being forced upon you.

@gambit474: he just doesn't have the it factor. Why can't they find crazy guys like the Iron Sheik anymore?

Kane and Daniel Bryan have been feuding since the Jurassic era.

I'd love to see Ambrose snap and get a Bryan/Ambrose feud.
