The General Wrestling Thread

The Rowan/Harper tag team needs to go against talent that can sell for them. They aren't that good in the ring (Rowan is terrible)...but they've had passable matches with quality opponents. Also, Bray Wyatt will never be an ace, but he's passable in the ring. Having the feud with Kane at first was bad...because Kane is terrible. This group should be in there with some smaller guys who can sell and make'em look good.

Get them in there with 3MB, Kofi, Primo/Epico (before they turned them into Matadors)...

I think they have one of the most creative entrances WWE has done in awhile. It is so simple, but it is so perfect for a 'family/cult' gimmick. No tron video to fuck it up, just the creep lamp in the darkness.

I get extremely annoyed at him blowing out a battery powered lantern. Too scared to let the guy walk to the ring with a little kerosene?

You ever notice though that every group of two guys are heels? It almost seems like WWE needs to build a face triangle to face off against these heels. You got The Shield, you have 3MB (lol), and you have now the Wyatt Family. It seems like they could use a face team to battle these guys and have some good matches and things happen.

I really can't name a face group of three guys. I get the heels have it easier to get over with in a group, but something should come up for three face guys to do.

Face stables don't really work though.

This is the most we've ever talked about WWE & TNA. So for you guys who never listen because we are always talking indies or Japan, give this one a shot. I thought this was one of the best flowing conversations we've had.

I just don't think they have been tried all that hard. You got the Union, you got DX when they were faces, and not much else. It is a lot easier to make heel teams since basically it is a lot of 'we're taking over' stuff, but they need a wall to go up against rather than just a bunch of wrestlers who team together after getting their ass kicked.

You have The Shield who is like a heel riot police, so why not go the face army group? I know the days of Sgt Slaughter are gone, but you get the idea.

So bascially TNA has wasted a year of AJ Styles career sweet.

They've wasted most of his career. The early days were great, when him/Daniels/Joe ruled a pretty epic X-division. But since then, he's been very misused save for a pretty good string of PPV matches with Angle before he was given the strap, tur ned into mini-Ric Flair heel and nose-dived. They just don't have anything to offer guys like him and Joe. Daniels keeps busy, but the other two have done everything a couple times over and either don't care or aren't given anything to sink their teeth into. Styles got a new gimmick with the Aces and 8's angle, but they shit the bed on that too. At this point, he just needs to go home. They're wasting his time, ala Matt Morgan.

So Cal Val released from TNA.

How are they going to replace the vital role she's played over the last decade? Who will sit ringside and do literally nothing?
