Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 1186

That actually got me pretty excited for that game. Miss having a new wrestling game to play and who knows when AEW will come out

The roster will probably be so small lol

 

What did bryan mean when he said “of course Virginia boos hard work”?

 

i watched multiple G1 and could swear the announcers called him I shi but I guess I just have bad memory

 

I mean, its not going to matter either way. I don't think he is giving anyone a hard time about it. Its hard to really notice most times when native speakers say it. You really hear it when Americans put an emphasis on it.

 

he was implying that Virginians are lazy

 

I know there's been some criticism that his heel behaviour was abrupt - but he's basically been heeling out since his first presser when he said he was there to kick everyone's head in, and his extra focus on striking and submissions have felt like the heel version of his moveset. The real change is him now directing it towards it towards faces rather than heels. But agreed, I'm here for it.

 

imo he only went heel right now cause mox is out. they’d already been hinting at Moxley turning and i think he was probably winning the eliminator. with omega taking time off too you probably had to turn someone to even things out a bit.

 

Fair, but he could never ride the underdog character WWE required of him, and he spent much of his indie career as a heel technician, so I can see how easy it would be for him to simply tweak the delivery and timing of the same promos he was delivering to be a confident and dangerous heel.

 

Punk and Bryan are both going to be very good at that. Punk was legit getting boos against Eddie, but can now switch to a feud with MJF and be a full face without any problems.

 

Oh wow, that's crazy. Bull Nakano the most slept on legend in all of wrestling, imo.

 

This is maybe my favorite moment in pro wrestling in the last 3 years

 

This is the thing I appreciate about AEW the most; people's characters dont have to change one bit, they just shift heel/face based on the situation. Put a noxious enough person against MJF and he can be a face without changing one thing; he just hates the person more than he hates the crowd.

Mox was gonna be the perfect example; him and Eddie are basically both perma-tweeners who shift heelish the angrier they get.

 

Pro Wrestling Tees is closing their retail store to expand the space for the website. Basically turning the store into a printing office

 

Toni Storm is replacing Aliyah on Smackdown's SS team. There we goooo

 

Damn I have a friends wedding in chicago in January and we were planning on going for the first time.

 

Had to go to Walmart today, usually try to get out of there as quickly as possible but decided to check the action figure section. Only AEW figs were 1 Luchasaurus and 5 each Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian

 

Instead of coal, kids at Christmas will get Frankie Kazarian figures

 

I’d rather get coal

 

I'd like to get a few figures but A) hard to find the good ones B) they are expensive affffffff

 

I'm holding off on pre-ordering the Kris figure cause I don't think it looks too good. I do need to get the Chucky T one though.
