Wrestling Thread 9: Lets go Chuck Taylor, you're the best wrestler in the world • Page 86

I'd expect some if not all of these to be fake.

 

Oh I'm definitely gonna watch and probably enjoy that Unreal show knowing that (1) almost all of it is probably fake as hell, and (2) it flies in the face of everything the wrestling business is supposed to be.

 

I could not force myself to watch the fake reality TV wrestling stuff. Sounds absolutely terrible. I have a hard enough time watching any of the weekly shows though. Pretty stoked for Dynamite tomorrow. Star/Hayter and Bucks/Speedball & Kevin Knight should be worth checking out.

 

I do like that WWE seems to be going back to the booking where after someone's midcard title run is over they're getting a top of the card level push. That is how it's supposed to be and they did it well with Gunther, Jey, and Bron.

 

Levesque sucks for a variety of reasons, obviously, and there's plenty of critiques I can make about some of his choices, but I think of all the people booking weekly pro wrestling, his vision for what a wrestling product should be most closely aligns with what I want to see.

It's just a shame he and so much of the periphery stuff involving that company is so awful.

 

Women's Tag - Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch vs. IYO SKY & Asuka

Might be an all-time bad idea

 

I don't mind someone holding it to help elevate someone coming up and getting the push as a transition but yeah, it should be a stepping stone.

 

Something rubs me the wrong way about Cody getting beaten in such a cheap manner and immediately forgotten the night after Mania so we can set up Cena and Orton. Backlash being so soon and in St. Louis explains Orton being in there and I'm sure we revisit Cody and Cena probably by Summerslam, but it just feels weird since it wasn't a definitive win for Cena.

 

I mean if I’m honest I have no interest in seeing Cody/Cena again just because of how things unfolded on Sunday. Like it was so forgetful

 

Cody was also their workhorse for 2 straight years as Roman was part-time, so, kinda reasonable for him to be away for a bit

 

Cody could use a couple weeks off too honestly. Let the crowd miss him a bit

 

Also catching up on listening to some clips from the Rock today and it sounded like to me he being a baby because people thought his idea of turning Cody sucked.

 

the rock is a gigantic baby

 

On top of that him and Trips absolutely dislike each other

 

I can understand this feeling but this Orton has been the best Orton ever - I don't think it'll be as soul-sucking as the 09 feud. Worse case we have about 3 weeks of it.

 

Probably not right now since the titles changed hands twice in 2 days but just once I’d like the see the women’s tag belts won by an NXT team

 

thinking about who I'd love to see challenge Cena for the title - Orton is a perfect opening feud. I'd like to see Rusev and Drew McIntyre as well. Why not Cena-Rusev at MITB and Drew/Cena at SummerSlam?

I think they could have Cena hold the title till Survivor Series and have Punk beat him for it then. I think we have a while till we get the Punk and Cena matchup.

 

It’s not Orton I’m hating on. Heel Cena is a gigantic wet fart post turn for me and he can’t go in the ring lol

 

Well yeah I agree with that

 

I mean I know John can’t go in the ring anymore and I knew that going in. I’m cool with just getting cool moments and the greatest hits. With guys like John and Randy at this point I don’t care about the quality of the match i just wanna see the cool moments and cherish it

 

I get why people are at least kind of into the idea of revisiting Cena/Orton after all this time, one last time, but I expect the match to be reaaaaaal bad.

 

Don’t know if true or not but I saw a random post that Del Rio got let go?

 

starks first three feuds in nxt have been shawn spears, ethan page, and pillman jr.
