The General Wrestling Thread

I've seen the AJ Styles DVD. If it's the same one i'm talking about, from about 4 or 5 years ago called "Phenominal" (or something like that), it's very good.

RAW is immense tonight.

They need to do this all of the time.

IMO, old school WWF was always better ... because they only needed to concentrate on four pay per views, and the Internet didn't exist - which made the surprises seem like a surprise.
Hell, I remember buying wrestling magazines in the late 80s to read new shit.

Loved the Retro theme.

Same here. I remember going to the local drug store from the early 80's until the late 80's every month to buy the latest issue of PWI and Inside Wrestling. I read the ink off of those pages.

LOL the tension between Cole and JR on the broadcast team is just tremendous. Im rather unpleased I havent been watching this shit all nite, will have to catch it tomorrow.

Weird as fuck since it's Vince feeding Cole all his lines. What's the point? JR is never on RAW anyway so why waste his one appearance having Cole trashtalk him the entire segment?

Overall, a fun show. Retro theme was sweet (too bad they won't keep the red/white/blue ropes, the blue apron, the interview stage inside the arena, Lord Alfred Hayes' promotional tease, etc.) and the Piper's Pit segment started off sweet until Orton came out.

When JR hit the booth it was almost Tazz-Tenay levels of awkward tension, and all it did was make me realize how much better JR is than Cole.

I loved seeing all the old faces but some of the appearances were awkward as hell. I really could have gone without seeing a 60 year old Slick dance in the ring for no reason.

Who cares about him dancing when we got to listen to JIVE SOUL BRO on RAW!

[SuperKevin]

I also never realized that Iron Shiek must be like 5'6".

[Kuzzy Powers]

Finding Hulk Hogan on A&E right now.. some intense stuff.

[EmpireWF]

I also never realized that Iron Shiek must be like 5'6".

After everything he's been through, I wouldn't be surprised if he was 4'5.

Swagger's got a stiff upper lip to take this one.

Well... swollen lip but still.
