2016 Pro Wrestling Thread

Not to mention all the money he's getting from that "2K WWE 17" game. ... Had to cringe when he screwed that up tho.

 

OK, so they've essentially given Curt Hawkins the Eva Marie gimmick?

 

That James Ellsworth/A.J. Styles WWE title match (something that I never thought I would type) was absolute gold. So much to enjoy about it.

Amazing what happens when you just have fun with the storyline.

 

I marked the fuck out for Goldberg. He was my guy back in high school.

 

No chin music!

 

I had read the Cageside Seats' comments , so I knew what was going to happen before watching it on Youtube.

But I have to admit, if I was a fan at that arena or watching it on TV, even though by every logical fiber in my body I know he's not winning the belt, that moment was a pure mark-out moment that makes you jump out of your seat. The crowd reaction was tremendous.

And Ambrose was funny as hell during that whole segment. From the constant ringing of the opening bell, to his "This contest is for the WWE title! Seriously, it is!" he just was gold.

 

If you haven't already, you must listen to Sam Roberts' podcast with James Ellsworth from several weeks ago. Fascinating look at the role enhancement talent plays, how he got to be one, and someone who just loves the industry and the indies.

 

A.J. Styles sold that "No Chin Music" like a million bucks.

Good for Ellsworth. He was brought in originally as some schlub to get flattened by Braun Strowman, then gained such a cult following, they put him in Smackdown's main angle.

 

That appearance by Lesnar accomplished what exactly?

 

I missed the beginning. Did Heyman actually say anything, or just complain about the Go.dberg chants and left?

 

Absolutely nothing. They wasted an appearance on that?

 

More or less just complained.
