The General Wrestling Thread

[JayDizzle]

I dunno whether or not it was a formula or the crowd but tonight seemed a bit off.

No one gave a shit and with none of the crowd getting behind anyone (aside from the few bullshit smark chants ["steroids" at Chris Masters and "Cena Sucks" at Cena]), this Monday Night Raw was garbage.

I did like, however forced it was, how Jericho interrupted the usual shpiel of Shawn Michaels to bring up the fact that DX HAS NEVER BEEN TAG CHAMPS.

Combine that with Jericho saying that as long as he's part-champion, they'll never have the belts... color me intrigued.

Other than that, this episode SUCKED.

Lmfao @ Shaemus.

Best Goobledy Gooker ever.
Maryse is must-see TV.

Sheamus has no chance. A good idea gone bad. He'll get squashed. Hell, they even squashed him in that farce of a battle royale when Orton destroyed him.

[BazookaJoe5]

Nah, Sheamus isn't going to get squashed. I didn't watch Raw but reading through this I assume he is #1 contender now?

He is tight with Triple H, has a uh, unique look, and body type that they want...and his entrance music is badass. He's not going to beat Cena but I doubt he gets buried either...they are obviously moving forward with attempting to make new stars, he is one of them along with Miz, Morrison, Kofi, and McIntyre.

Lmfao @ Shaemus.

The power of sucking up to HHH.

People honestly don't think that dude has power? Please. All you have to do is look at this hot-shot rise of Shaemus.

[IamMedellin]

damn right....Trips' holding down the one Man who made Cena tap

[Liquidrob]

[Kuzzy Powers]

Look at the crowd that got to enjoy that awesome move!

[BigBiss]

Quack and Cludio wrom TPI was better, just saying

[IamMedellin]

you think that if Carlito had said that he didn't like his pants, cena would've taken them off too?

[BazookaJoe5]

lol @ Bret Hart saying Melina was the best wrestler out there today. Not kidding.

[Kuzzy Powers]

I watched TNA last night...I must say, Kevin Nash is always good for a nice one-liner...in response to Mick Foley trying to figure out who Hogan is bringing in...

"Just between us, if Hogan brings Knobbs in, I'm quitting."

Yeah, I'd quit watching that quickly too.

Nash/Hall and the Nastys hate each other passionately. He was probably atleast half serious.

[Kuzzy Powers]

lol @ Bret Hart saying Melina was the best wrestler out there today. Not kidding.

Perhaps they're boning?

[Derrville]

Amazing Red in TNA uses that as his finisher.

I was in a "Boarders" the other day. And came upon this work of art. Released in October, it's the "Unofficial History of Degeneration X" written by Trips, and Shawn Michaels. So I pick it up, expecting to find a detailed word version of all the pranks D Generation X pulled, and yet, it was something totally different.

I found a chair, sat down and began to read. I ended up finishing it in one sitting, because I have that sort of time. And it was really a great read. It's something I wouldn't want to have read as a kid though, it takes the mysticism out of wrestling right away. When Trips and Shawn begin the book, talking about the backstage stuff that was going on between the roster, and the "Monday Night Wars".

I recommend that you pick it up, if not rent it from a library. Basically it turns out to be a comical journey through Shawn's peak, and Trips uprising. As well as a lot of insight on the backstage life of a wrestler, that you rarely see.
