The General Wrestling Thread

Why is the WWE wasting money on Brad Maddox?

[SuperKevin]

Elgin's gotta be one of the 5 best wrestlers in the world at this point.

I was unaware that he had that kind of endurance. I assumed he was a good 7-10 minute match guy at most but he really surprised me with his ability to go the distance

[SuperKevin]

I think I'm going to go to the ROH show in NYC in August and Death Before Dishonor in Philadelphia in September. Really enjoying the atmosphere at ROH shows

[JimLeavy59]

I'm sorry but AJ and Big E should be faces like Dolph.

[EmpireWF]

So, the Briscoes are done with ROH? What about the belt?

This apparently from Mike Johnson.

perhaps more of an extended hiatus...but they could be gone.

Jay's wife is about to have a baby any day now. Could just be some paternity leave

[JimLeavy59]

Cena needs to get in a career ending car crash.

Sharpest Dressed Strongman in the game today.

Danielson's table bomb from the apron on Orton = Mike Awesome

Clutch suplex of Orton's through the table = Taz

ECW lives a little tonight.

[JayDizzle]

Danielson carries another bum to a *** star match.

Took tables, a few stiff kicks and a kendo stick but that crafty son of a bitch pulled it off.

Now this "weak link" shit can be done with and we can get to Danielson/Cena.

Calling Orton a bum? I know you consider yourself a wrestling guru, but a bum?

Other than what we claim to know about him fucking up when he's not on-camera, what has he done other than be fodder for storylines?

I'm not expecting him to chase for the title 24/7 (because he's boring when he's not a heel champ) but he got lumped in with Kane/Danielson and that petered out when they all found out they couldn't beat The Shield.

Both guys in tonight's Main Event deserve a better opportunity but won't get one unless it's on the mid or upper-card and while Cena's champ.

All signs are pointing that Mark and Jay Briscoe have wrestled for the last time in Ring of Honor. Yes, that Jay Briscoe, the ROH World Champion. Ring of Honor did not have Mark Briscoe appear on the TV taping on Sunday. They ran an angle that he had been injured the night before against Jay Briscoe leading to Kevin Steen getting involved in the Steel Cage Warfare match that was the main event of the tapings and what ROH built up to in thr 4 weeks of TV. However, Ring of Honor also did an angle where, after defeating Matt Hardy, to retain the ROH Championship, Jay Briscoe was attacked by Hardy and Steve Corino and a couple of other heels and laid out and beaten down..pretty much destroyed and it was described to be as a heavy, heavy, heavy angle. And in speaking to a number of Ring of Honor sources, over the last 12 hours or so, that was the last scheduled appearance for either Briscoe brother for the forseeable future. There is talk they may be departing the company and at the very least they will be on a hiatus for some time. This has nothing to do with the Jay Briscoe Twitter incident, it was something arranged way prior to this PPV & TV taping. The story making the rounds is that they were leaving for greener pastures, but they may not be leaving. Atthe very least they will be on a hiatus and what the hell this means for the ROH Championship, your guess is as good as mine. Common sense would dictate that Briscoe will be stripped of the belt if he is not coming back or if he's going to be on an extended hiatus, similar to TNA stripping Rob Van Dam of his championship in 2010.

Also, neither Briscoe is even under contract.

KENNY KING, YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS

They've also abandoned live iPPV's and will now offer all shows VOD & DVD only. Supposedly they will be uploaded the next day. This is what they currently do for house shows.

I agree he's boring in general if he's not a heel (not like he doesn't want to be one, he's been pushing for the longest time now), but I think he's one of the top workers in the company when he's in the ring. You're comment just made me think you were lumping him in with Khali or some shit lol.
