The General Wrestling Thread

I'm still thinking that they do something for control of the company involving H's, Vince and Shane. Everything's been too quiet about Shane since he stepped down as CEO of the company he was with.

I also thought that they were going to split the Rhodes and have them feud against each other? Or has that plan changed because they've performed so well together?

 

[GoRedRocket]

I was under the impression that Goldust was only signed short term, so a split feud was almost inevitable? They both wanted that for quite some time, so that makes the most sense to me.

 

[SuperKevin]

I honestly thought the brother feud would have best been done much earlier. When Golddust was brought back in he should have been part of the Authority

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

They could still do the Rhodes feud, but they've been so good as a team that it may not happen in time for Mania. In my opinion i'd say it's 50/50 they do the split. It probably depends how the rest of the card falls into place and how much time they can devote on TV to another big angle.

 

[FedEx227]

It was earmarked for Mania but at this rate, you may as well hold it off. They are a top team in a re-emerging tag division. Vince will get sick of that division relatively soon and you can do the blowoff then. It would get lost on Mania and is better served most likely on a smaller show.

I'm led to believe that Shane is a-okay with distancing himself from the product and that business. He's doing fine on his own.

Really can't see anyone wanting to see a Hogan vs Cena match main eventing wrestlemania. If Hogan isn't a go, they should just take Bryan off HBK and move him to with Cena and payoff Bryan there. And if Hogan does go, and HBK doesn't, take Punk off HHH and let him go with Bryan for the title, just put the title on Punk at Elimination Chamber, and there you go. Just make Batista cost Orton the title and sets that up.

The list is SUPREMELY fucking short for people who can catch others safely like this...

Just the logistics and percentages SCREAM to never do this and yet when guys like Rhodes pop off a moonsault like this... it's fucking magic.

...when the fuck is he getting another shot at the big belt?

I have a feeling its either of the two men in that ring that will win next year at MITB both Rhodes and Cesaro are ready IMO. Cesaro moreso.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Cesaro is a star, the only minor stumbling block is if Vince can't get past the accent, but he's promos are actually very underrated. The problem, is he is a much, much better heel (especially his promos which are good in a tongue in cheek smarmy way) and it's pretty obvious a face turn is coming thanks to the giant swing spot.

The good news, is Roman Reigns is going to be given complete attention for his turn, and Cesaro has to wait in line. So he has time to maybe split from Real Americans and have a cool heel run as a single.

 

[Leftwich]

The Cena vs Rollins match last night was great, i really enjoyed it. It's unfortunate Rollins doesn't have that "WWE" look that will put him over as a legitimate star.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

This was getting a ton of support in the VOW Match of the Year poll, so I checked it.

It's pretty great.

 

[SuperKevin]

is that the same La Parka from WCW?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Yes, LA Park is the original La Parka from AAA/WCW.

AAA, like WWE, is very tough when it comes to trademarks and forced him to change his name and remove the bones from his outfit when he left. They gave the gimmick to a new guy.

The current guy who goes by La Parka in AAA & the lucha indie scene is not the original. Even when LA Park returned to AAA, he stuck with the LA Park name and actually has become a bigger star with it anyway. LA Park & La Parka had a feud in AAA a few years ago over the name, that LA Park won, but he chose to keep his new name.

There is also a Super Parka, La Parka Jr, and several minis who use the gimmick (one of which recently died), including Mini Park of Lucha Libre USA.

And then there is the original La Parka from the 70's who never became a star.

My buddy is at the Smackdown taping, and he texted me, saying they spoiled RAW tomorrow...

 

Brock Lesnar comes out and attacks...

 

Mark Henry

He perhaps might be bullshitting me...but there you have it.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

I just don't understand how they can continually waste someone like that.
