How about heel Zayn? He did interrupt a match he had no involvement in.

 

He didn't really interrupt a match, he attacked Owens behind the table, and Owens was the one who got up on the apron first

 

‘It’s Gonna Break The Mold’: Gabe Sapolsky On The Global Cruiserweight Series And The State Of Pro Wrestling

 

watched the PPV at my friends place that has an apple tv last night, and every time he has invited people over the stream is shit. it stops and buffers randomly even though it shows it has it loaded. I generally watch it on my xbox one and maybe have had streaming issues 2 or 3 times in a year. it has been nice, haha.

 

Owens slapped Zayn in the face after their match so the attack made sense to me

 

with the extended history these two have its pretty realistic to have it boil over post match.

 

Fucking shit.

Hulk Hogan Is Suing Gawker For Allegedly Leaking His Racist Rant

 

I had never seen the Joey Styles shoot before. Really great stuff. I feel like we need another one of these pipebomb promos. Crazy to think he has been in a leadership position, even after that.

 

This was worked as hell, though, as good as it is.

 

Okay last one. For those who didn't watch the pre-show, Kalisto is lucky he didn't leave on a stretcher.

 

Yeah, they are basically always gonna be works. I was thrown off when my buddy that works creative told me how much of the Punk thing was for real.

 

kalisto v ryback had one of the best matches again. BEST OF 13 PLEASE.

 

Still don't agree with the rants over Stephanie, the face-heel paradigm doesn't have to be a cartoonishly black and white thing. There can be a truth in what a heel is saying, as long as the heel continues to act heelish or matter of factly about it, or are using that truth as a shield to cover other areas in which they are completely wrong. (As Steph uses the feminism excuse for fans preferring Shane to her despite the fact that she openly shits on the fans consistently in her authority promos and puts obstacles in front of so called fan favorites)

Anyway the segment was awful last night but that had little to do with Steph and them having to fill in time due to the Enzo injury (doesn't help that shane is promo deadweight)

 

Yes Kevin Steen beat El Generico i believe clean in their first singles match of their ROH feud at Death Before Dishonor VIII,

Also I don't think you know what "squash" means. Losing after putting in a hell of a fight and taking the other guy to the limit is the opposite of a squash.

 

haha i didn't notice the yellow "what a dump" sign on Steph's left (our right) until i looked at the picture again just now. Wonder if he meant the show, the arena or both

 

Who put Sin Cara in the Kalisto mask?

 

The thing about the 2010 Steen/Generico feud in ROH is that it was mostly tag matches between Steen/Corino and Generico/Cabana. It started in December and they didn't have their first singles until May. There was only like 3 Steen/Generico singles matches during that entire yearlong feud, Steen won the first one in May, the second one Steen got DQ'd in July, and the third and final match of the feud Generico finally won in December.

If they keep Owens and Zayn mostly multi-man matches like it seems they're doing, with maybe 2 or 3 more singles matches peppered in every few months I think they could definitely stretch it to a year.

 

domo has lost his damn mind.

 

Those step up springboard moves always make me nervous. Especially whenever ACH does his.

 

Do you guys think Lethal drops the belt this weekend?

 

I'm gonna say Lethal retains. I've also just noticed Adam Cole isn't in the card. Is he booked elsewhere?

Edit: I guess PWG and NJPW would be the only other places he'd be. Dumb question haha

 

@ghostedaway Meltzer reported a couple weeks ago he was pulled from all upcoming events for an angle they're doing

 

Ah, never saw that lol

 

It has nothing to do with being cartoonish and everything to do with what a heel is supposed to accomplish. Steph running down Shane like that accomplished nothing aside from making Stephanie look good at the expense of everything else.

Did Heenan ever talk about how Hogan can't walk to the ring without getting out of breath? Or how Warrior is incapable of executing more than 10 moves? Did Heyman ever talk about how all of the fans hate Roman? Or how he was clearly not ready to be put in the position that he was in?

It didn't put over Shane. It didn't put over Steph as a heel. It didn't even put over the feud. Maybe you guys aren't familiar with the history of Stephanies career or something, because this painfully obvious shit has been going on for 15 years. She has no one to check her so she just does whatever she wants.

The feminism angle was nothing more than another "I'm right" argument. It was an "I deserve it" spiel that's difficult to even argue with. It's what Steph has been doing her entire career and a prime example of everything wrong with her promos.

 

steph is great
