The General Wrestling Thread

This whole Big E Langston/AJ Lee/Ziggler trio is so dead to me, which is really disappointing. Langston has been a dud enforcer, especially since he started talking. Every match is the exact same format and despite his advantages, Ziggler is still losing to everyone and not really going anywhere. I understand that MITB-guys are supposed to have a flukish air about them, but I'm led to believe that Ziggler can't beat anyone remotely relevant in a championship hunt.

His last big "victory" was losing to Jericho at SummerSlam and then retaining his briefcase the next day as Jericho lost to him to be "fired."

Booking him this way is stupid/

DDP & Jake now taking care of Hall apparently

I hope DDP can pull off his thing with Scott Hall and Jake Roberts. I interviewed Scott Hall once for my newspaper, he was a really nice guy. Roberts and Hall are pro wrestling hall of famers and got caught up with the demons. I hope they both end up well.

If DDP can turn Jake Roberts AND Scott Hall into functional humans...crown that man and his Yoga.

Crown him regardless. He's genuine and enthusiastic about improving other's quality of life. If it were 99% of other wrestlers doing something similar, I'd call PR moves. But DDP seems like the real deal, and he seems to have reverse-aged since his raggedy looking debut days. He's roughly the same age as Hall, right? I think Scott is a little older, but they're pretty close IIRC. DDP looks like he could run a triathalon. Hall looks like he could die getting out of bed.

I wanna order this, but the gimmick will be dead before shipping gets it to me

Man Hall really looks awful...he was a favorite of mine and it really bugs me to see him in such poor shape. I really hope DDP can help him.

Hall looks 80 years old, honestly I was a bit shocked by this photo....

Honestly the fact that Scott Hall is wearing an ICP shirt just proves he's not worth saving

Great article about DDP helping Jake the Snake, if you havent read or seen it already its worth a read.

Dallas is a couple years older than Hall.

Addiction sucks.

I really have to hand it to Vince. He has managed to almost completely kill my interest in WM this year. Astoundingly effective. Assuming that was his personal goal, of course. There is nothing on the card at this point that makes me want to pay any money or even give my time.

Fuck you very much, Vince.

Right?

I'm down to nothing. Absolutely nothing intrigues me about this year's Mania. Perhaps Punk/Taker gets me into it, but I doubt it. I can't believe I'm at this point.

Punk and Taker might not even happen either. I think Taker is going to sit this years WM out honestly.

[FedEx227]

We'll see. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Even though Taker makes have become somewhat boring and overly predictable I'll take it over a triple threat main event.

With so much going on that weekend, it's not just about WrestleMania anymore anyway. EVOLVE tournament, Shingo vs Gargano at DGUSA, ROH, Liger vs Sabu for Extreme Rising, the PWS shows with Morrison vs Liger, Chikara, etc etc.

Even if Mania doesn't deliver, the weekend has gotten to be so big that it really isnt just about Mania anymore anyway.
