The General Wrestling Thread

I was just reminded...you should check out the last two Colt podcasts.

One with Kevin Steen...really good. They discuss a lot on Cornette and ROH...some bitterness in there from Colt. Steen opens up a bit about his struggles with his weight...basically, he can go to the WWE, they told him he just needs to lose weight and he struggles with it a lot. Interesting stuff with some talk of ring psychology thrown in there.

The newest one is with BIG DAVE Meltzer...also pretty good. More of a discussion about his path to becoming BIG DAVE and what he loves about wrestling. Also good.

Lol. Most of those concept art pictures looked like terrible ideas for comic book characters

Dave's story about Dr. D & Kobashi was outstanding.

For W2B or any other puro guys:

How did the broken neck Chono received from the ill fated sit out pile driver with Austin impact the rest of his career after 1992?

Crazy how it came back exactly the same to screw Stone Cold less than 5 years later.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Chono came back relatively quickly and was fine. He was never super athletic anyway. He had good years after the neck. He did end up retiring a little sooner than most guys do, but I have no idea if it was due to the neck. When he was done, he was pretty much done for good.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

TNA was ridiculous.

LOL @ Sting coming back to form a "new" Main Event Mafia.

Isn't there only like one guy in TNA left from that group. Sting and Kurt Angle. The others were Booker T, Kevin Nash, and Scott Steiner. And didn't Kurt Angle kick Sting out of the group? lol

Remember when they tried to bring back the Main Event Mafia and Kevin Nash and Booker T decided to go to the WWE and the MEM wasn't heard from again?

LOL. Good times.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Sting should find Rocky King, Paul Orndorff, and dig up the bones of Junkyard Dog & El Gigante to reform Dudes With Attitudes.

That would be money.

Bound for Glory Series is set...

Jay Bradley
Samoa Joe
Hernandez
Jeff Hardy
Bobby Roode
Christopher Daniels
Frankie Kazarian
Joseph Park
Magnus
Austin Aries
Ken Anderson
AJ Styles

Who SHOULD win?
Who WILL win?

[EmpireWF]

AJ wins.

AJ/Angle was awesome...regardless of the obligatory aces 8s bullshit.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Ken Anderson shouldn't win. Ken Anderson shouldn't be employed. Ken Anderson should never be on TV again.

Why are Aces & Eights allowed in the BFG Series anyway? How do they transport "the clubhouse" to every city Impact goes to?

[JimLeavy59]

Has mainstream wrestling ever been this boring and flat?

Why is Matt Morgan not even in there? Jay Bradley? WTF?

Magnus or Kazarian would be nice to get to the last 2/3 to establish them as on the cusp of stardom (or whatever TNA's equivalent to stardom is). Would love to see Daniels win it all, but if it hasn't happened already.....Abyss's shit character has no business in there. Aries and Joe would be great wire-to-wire winners. They already missed the boat on Hernandez and condemned him to Tag Team Purgatory. Roode suffers from every TNA main eventer's disease. They push him hard, he eventually wins the belt, he loses it, and their "creative" forgets about him and gives him nothing. Wouln't really gain a ton by winning anyway. Anderson, as noted, is shit. AJ shouldn't be in the BFG series, he should be champ, and everyone should want to avoid getting in the ring with him because he's the best in the world and a total loose cannon (royalties to Punk and Pillman in the mail).

If it were me, I'd have Morgan over Kazarian in the finals, getting them both over. But it's TNA so Jeff Hardy will win, because he sells drugs...oops, I mean merch. And he carries himself like a star, Brother!

[Warner2BruceTD]

Didn't Styles lose a match with a stip that he couldn't get another title shot? Isn't that why he went emo? Doesn't the winner of this get a title shot?

Also, Bradley is in because they had a Gut Check winners tournament where the winner got into this.

He can't have a title shot until BFG. That's why he's going to win this.
