The General Wrestling Thread

I think it's pretty cool they let him promote the fact that he is a 10-year veteran of the sport.

It's comical to me they are actually making it storyline how a guy could have wrestled around the globe for a decade-plus but because he never was in WWE, he's proved nothing. Get rid of the hollywood writers, REALITY ALWAYS SELLS.

But that's actually the real attitude of the company.

Anyway, that aspect of the story is fine, as long as it's only the heels who push it. They have Matthews to balance it out, and I think the idea is that Danielson is a guy who backs up his rep. So to me, it works.

btw - definitely agree with W2B in regards to Jericho...I'm thinking he no sold plenty on purpose...and blew the suicide dive spot.

Some "rookie" hazing, maybe?

If so, extremely unprofessional.

They did the same with Booker when he first jumped over. At least Dragon won't be dealing with HHH.

...yet.

Can't say it has anything to do with Jericho wanting to keep his spot because dude's the champ right now.

I'm sure the "Uncle Vince doesn't think he's shit" topic has been beaten to death so I won't elaborate as far as Danielson goes.

Evan Bourne is a prime example of what could happen if Danielson makes it through... slow push towards a JTTS position.

As for the rest of the bums on this NXT show, it's great that FCW got the call-up for almost all of their current roster from this past summer but damned if they aren't all jobbers.

 

[JayDizzle]

Wonder what his finisher will be, which submission. Matthews mentioned him being known for his ground and pound so it sounds like he'll be using some variation of the "MMA elbows."

Uncle Vince doesn't have the nuts to let Danielson use the Cattle Mutilation.

Good news is, we know that Danielson can go with the likes of Cena if need be:

Early non-pushed Cena... :shifty:

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I watched it last night. How do you guys come to the conclusion that Jericho did anything on purpose? That's fucking stupid. It was clearly a case of losing track of where you were in relation to the announce table. Nothing more. It was either a planned spot or Jericho was meant to throw Daniels across the table into Matthews/Cole.

And Jericho tweeted today that "NXT was pretty cool. Daniels and Barrett are gonna be stars" and that the guy paired with Punk "has the most ridiculous hair I've ever seen." haha

Look what he wrote later when someone mentioned he stiffed Danielson.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I did...and? Big deal. He's responding to some Danielson mark who was whining about the match.

He can't work a bit stiff and then be impressed with Danielson afterwards? So many of these Internet smarks take shit so fucking seriously. The Internet had done as much harm to the wrestling industry as it has good.

Either Jericho worked one of the sloppiest matches of his career, or we had some hazing going on. I'm going with the latter, even without the odd suicide dive spot.

If you listed the stiffest matches of Danielsons career, the Jericho match wouldn't make the top 100.

 

[FedEx227]

Exactly. I haven't seen a Jericho match as poorly planned or as sloopy as that since his first few in WCW back in 1996. I have a REAL hard time believe that Danielson and his timing were "OFF".

 

[JayDizzle]

It's been a few days and it's still crazy that UT wrestled after this:

Dayum...

[BazookaJoe5]

LMFAO @ Abyss coming out to Hogan's "American Made" theme.

LOFL.

Every city has a strip bar.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

AJ with Flair is slowly looking better...they just need to avoid the Nature Boy, AJ Styles and they'll be alright. He was good on the stick tonight.

However, just when you think TNA can't be dumber...they give us American Made, The Monster of the Rings...Abyss...the Abyss/Hogan segment from last week is Gooker Award worthy.

More Pope
More Beer Money
More Nigel
More Angle
Just the right amount of Ken Anderson
Less Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley
Less Abyss as Super Hogan
No Nastys

Can they PUH-LEASE put the Global and X Titles on performers that people give a fuck about.

I know exactly what Hogan is thinking with Rob Terry. He looked at their roster as soon as he got there and basically said to himself "this is the only guy on the entire roster that LOOKS like a wrestler!"...too bad he sucks and no one gives a fuck. Same with Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus. Get'em off TV. Get those belts on people anyone gives a fuck about (Kaz with the X, Nigel with the Global?).

Oh, and Nigel's broad is a gem...

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Either way, does it really matter....?

In relation to what?

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Lol @ Pope's face in that picture.

 

[IamMedellin]

CM Punk is God!!

 

[FedEx227]

So awesome. God I hope they really push him with this gimmick and let it go on. It's money heel stuff.

 

[IamMedellin]

U know...Jillian is pretty fukin hot
