Wrestling Thread 9: Lets go Chuck Taylor, you're the best wrestler in the world • Page 37

I honestly completely forgot he was there. Well until Cole started to continually mention him.

Talking of Cole, did he annoy anyone else last night? I usually like him, but he was irritating last night.

 

I didn’t mind Cole because I usually can tune him out lol but McAfee always drives me insane

 

Pretty sure I’m the only person on here that doesn’t mind McAfee. Pretty sure I'm the only person outside the company and maybe his mum that doesn’t mind him tbh

 

Wade Barrett was obviously the best, as he always is

 

Joey Janela is going to get his flowers one day for redefining what the journeyman wrestler can and can't be tbh, dude rules

 

Alvarez speculating Rollins/Heyman may go after Jey and the WHC next using the Heyman and Jey being former members of The Bloodline as the storyline anchor. Even though he acknowledged it wouldn't be as big of match as other things they could do.

Meltzer said the traditional booking for this would be Punk winning and then going after Cena but that's not really how modern booking works now.

 

cant stop thinking about the 540 senton, i was so fucked up and lost my shit

 

Main event was good. Everything else was not.

 

"HHH said he intends for AAA to remain a traditional Lucha Libre company. That just shows how much HHH knows. AAA hasn't done traditional Lucha Libre in 25 years!"

Meltzer on the AAA acquisition

 

I’m expecting Rollins to take the belt off Jey pretty quick

 

The only thing that sticks out last night to me is Fatu is cool as fuck and has all the makings of a star they better strap the rocket on him. Beating LA deff makes it seem like it.

 

Alvarez was as the show, said he heard boos when Dana was shown.

 

The crowd was super into Fatu

 

Also said Charlotte/Tiff had a ton of heat from the live crowd. I guess the crowd mics were meh or I wasnt paying attention close enough.

 

Jey tapping out Gunther is gonna be the first HHH match outcome ppl rly never let go of and for good reason lol

 

To a sleeper no less.

I could have lived with jey doing 4 frog splashes from each corner as an ending

 

Doesn’t make it necessarily better but there is a clip on Reddit/YouTube that shows Gunther losing in NXT to a sleeper and he taps almost faster than he did last night. Still seemed odd/out of place because Jey never uses submissions but I guess it wasn’t exactly totally random as hell that Gunther tapped and tapped fast because he did it once 5 years ago or something

 

My prediction is Seth wins the WHC from Jey in the next couple months and it'll set up Rollins/Reigns for the title at Summerslam.

 

I saw that Brodie Jr won the Clusterfuck. That is fucking awesome!

 

Paul Heyman’s betrayal was great, but will take a lot to beat Stacks betrayal of Tony D at S&D earlier in the day. I’m still not over it.

 

"main eventing night 4 of a buy one get one free extravaganza" say what now punk lol

 

It’s the main event. Be serious

 

Tell you what’s definitely not getting old and definitely still hilarious is Punk gotchas.

 

I guess in hindsight Gunther immediately tapping to his own finish puts it over as being something even he’s scared of, but I’d have rather seen him pass out than tap out.
