I couldn't help but laugh.

Wrestling Road Diaries is a hell of a DVD. It's not the most exciting but it's genuineness is really it's charm.

I loved it. Haven't seen it since I first watched (probably last year if not longer, I forget), should check it out again.

- Expect a ROH vs. SCUM compilation DVD in the near future.

I'd like to meet the person who purchases this. I can't accept that anybody on earth is hyped about it.

I'd be lying if I said I wish Sheamus a speedy recovery.

surprise entrant into the Royal Rumble

BOOK IT

I don't mind Sheamus. He doesn't wow me, but in another era i'd like to have seen him as a big gaijin slugger in All Japan or something. He is hard hitting in a promotion where you don't get much of that. I'd like to see Sheamus/Lesnar, but Sheamus isn't a big enough star.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Sheamus isn't bad at all. He can actually go when they give him an opportunity. He's not your token big man in the WWE. He's kind of limited when he's main event'ing Smackdown or in a RAW match, but you get him in the mid-card with a good worker, and he tends to more than hold his own as the big hitter,even while getting his token WWE spots in. You check him out in a good 10-15m match in the middle of Smackdown and sometimes RAW or Main Event, he tends to have "sneaky good" matches.

 

[FedEx227]

He's fine. Just kind of there at this point. Not bad, not great. Good promo, not great. He's whatever to me. Don't wish ill will on him and I like him in the mid card.

 

[JayDizzle]

He's basically on a treadmill since he's become a face (Tweener? He's a dick to everybody but he's cheered because he's a dick to heels).

If they hadn't of turned Ryback into a pussy, I'd match him up with Sheamus and have them beat the shit out of each other for a 3 PPV stretch.

Or with the whole resurgence lol: I know better) of the Tag Division, pair him with another hoss that can go and just let them go Road Warriors for a while.

Basically, he's perfect if you need to plug somebody into a feud but like Larry said, you need someone to carry their end most of the time.

hes over exposed right now, the crowd needs a break from him

A lot of these guys are overexposed with two shows a week. Sheamus is actually pretty good. Nothing about him screams "great" but he's certainly upper mid card material, and can hold his own with a world title run.

The only thing that takes away from his is the fact he's ridiculously pale. He can't do anything about that, but still.

You know, they should think about splitting up the roster so everybody gets more exposure. I don't know, something like maybe two brands, were half the guys are with RAW & Superstars, and the other half are with Smackdown & Main Event. Then every year or so, when things get stale, you can shuffle guys around to freshen things up.

"The Great White..." shirt line he had running for a while would go GREAT right now with Shark Week if he wasn't on the DL for now.

Would never work. Think again moran.

Turn on TNA for 5 minutes and see Angle hit Bully with the Angle Slam, Bully kicks out. Minutes later, Sabin hits Bully with a weak looking enziguri and Devon has to make the save. Never understood that.

JB is their best announcer ever. I still preferred him with the PBP man they signed a little bit ago, and released shortly thereafter. Of course.

I never "got" Sheamus. I get that he's not a bad wrestler, but I never got why people thought he was good. But I'm not into the stiff match-ups all that much, aside from some of Regal's stuff.

Todd Kenely

He went back to Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. He's the play by play guy and they just hired Matt Striker to do color. It airs on MavTV if you get that channel. It's on DirecTV. They use a lot of the top west coast guys including many of the PWG dudes.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I've been a Sheamus mark ever since the Extreme Rules poster came out with him on it.

 

Tell me that shit ain't awesome.

Also, once I realized his theme song said "Its a shameful thing, lobsterhead" and "too many limes...too many limes".

Ever since then...Sheamus has been alright by me. It never gets old.

 

[EmpireWF]

LOBSTER HEAD, LOBSTER HEAD larry, too...that song always brings the lulz.

 

[FedEx227]

I always thought it was "It's a shameful thing, dunderhead"

My newest Wrestling’s Biggest Busts is here... looking at Art Barr. This fucker took forever and I did a ton of research, match watching, etc being relatively unfamiliar with Barr going in (I'd seen When Worlds Collide but that's about it).
