The General Wrestling Thread

btw - Leavy...just DVR RAW. I get that shit done in about 45m and I don't have nearly the complaints I used to. I zip through everything.

A usual RAW for me consists of

-The Opening Segment
-A middle segment or two
-One or two good matches (you can always see'em coming as they'll straddle an hour)
-Main Event, and sometimes I zip through that until the last 5m, when you know something is going to happen.

Fin.

Done in 45...last night took me 55m because there just happened to be two decent mid-card matches. And, I come away from RAW generally satisfied as much as RAW can satisfy you.

I find the WWE product is just better in 1h segments. Some RAW and NXT usually gives me my fill of WWE wrestling for the week.

I DVR Smackdown and Main Event, but I won't really watch them unless there is a well regarded match.

Another Wrestling Sporcle.

A tough one though. I finished and got all 60, but with about a minute left.

Chris Von Erich, Mitch from the Spirit Squad, and Christian in the first MitB were ones that took me forever to remember.

From what I've seen on my FB newsfeed Seth Rollins, that former local wrestler my wife knows, has been making appearances on RAW as of late. He jumped Kane last night apparently? Update me you nerds.

Watch the video SHOGUN posted.

I loved the Sheamus/Cesaro match. They beat the shit out of each other.

I would love to see these guys have a proper feud. I have no interest in Big Show or his stupid punch.

 

[SuperKevin]

I suck at these

Tag Teams and stables. I only got 96 out of 200. I suck at the stuff from the 80s and from indies

Punk was selling his knee really good last night.

Roman Reigns made a damn strong first impression on me. :yep:

Reigns was Perfect, Im really happy that Ambrose has already mastered making the scrip they give him his ... and thats the best iv seen Tyler

Agree with all of this.

Ambrose's mannerisms were classic Moxley, just great stuff. Reigns played his role perfectly. They gave Black a lot to say, which could have been dangerous, but he was passable.

At least they were smart enough to make Ambrose the primary mouthpiece and kept Reigns lines to a minimum.

The key is when they go live. I have no doubts about Ambrose.

So far, this angle has been an A+. No complaints from me.

Love it. It's how you do Aces and Eights properly.

 

[SHOGUN]

That whole story feels like its been going on for ages. We still don't really know their motive and the only guys that have been unmasked (despite a thousand opportunities) have been Devon and Gallows.

 

[SuperKevin]

I like how they are doing the Aces and Eights storyline. Has it dragged on a bit long? Yes but with the slow reveal of members and motives it is creating some intrigue and probably drawing viewers on a weekly basis to see what might happen next. The main problem is if the main guy ends up being a dud like Garrett Bischoff then it's all for nothing. Honestly I think the only guy who can give it a real payoff would be Jeff Jarrett but it's highly unlikely.

Yeah, but TNA fans are getting a bit tired of Jarrett, at least from other people I've talked to outside of here. I'm still holding out hope that it could be Chris Masters.

 

[SuperKevin]

Yeah but whoever the leader is should realistically be able to be thrust directly into the main event or else this whole thing is a waste. I find it hard to justify anyone other than Jeff Jarrett in that capacity.

 

[Derrville]

I love Double J. I think he gets a lot of undeserved flack.

 

[SuperKevin]

Jeff Jarrett would be the only one with enough star power and legitimate beef with TNA to be the head of this stable. Other wise you have Devon as your most experienced guy and he's not even in charge lol

 

[EmpireWF]

There is no intrigue though. It's gone on too long and is nothing but repetitive illogical beatdowns. Why should anyone care that a group of 5 or so nobodies are sometimes getting over on random guys when there's an entire locker room made to look like morons?

The invader angle the way it's being done is played out barring something drastic changing.

 

[SuperKevin]

I enjoy it.
