2017 Pro Wrestling Thread

Wyatt-Orton is also bad, a rather poorly told hackneyed story. It was like the 4th match on the random smackdown PPV in October. Did it close the show bc Cena went on before Trump? It's not a Mania main event. Maybe bad is too strong but its not good----the teased triple with Harper or AJ would've been worlds better.

Also having Bray NOT ON TV for 2 out of 4 weeks after he pins Cena clean back to back nights? That's on Page 7 of the "How to not get guys over" manual written by WCW.

BUT----I do think the Smarky Mania Crowd has enough respect for Bray and Orton as performers that they will not boo the piss out of them to close the the show the way they did Reigns and will Goldberg and Lesnar.

So maybe it should go on last.

 

Only way they trot out Lesnar-Goldberg last is if they do do a Rollins-like hotshot thing with the red belt.

WWE Hall of Fame will honor Eric LeGrand

Nice gesture for Eric LeGrand, for all he's done to overcome his injury.

 

Just now getting caught up on the thread. Spent most of the weekend with a stomach bug.

Anyone notice how in promotional spots, the E only uses the world title and never the Universal belt? That alone should tell them that nobody gives a crap about the belt, but it doesn't.

 

Well, that was a twist upon a twist. Maybe that was to officially write Rollins off for Wrestlemania? Maybe put Balor in Rollins' place?

 

A coup,e of possibilities. I was cringing at first that the main spot on the show was going towards McMahon/GM drama, but the payoff with pretty good. Liked the pop when Foley stopped leaving and took out the sock.

 

I thought RAW was pretty good last night, and call me crazy, but Roman sounded awful Heelish on the mic there talking about Taker. He actually did a good job at it. I know it won't continue.

The only reason we're getting Bayley/Sasha/Charlotte is to put the belt back on Sasha for a long time and have Bayley chase heel Sasha for a year. Maybe with a quick title change to someone else coming up or already on the roster.

Interesting note going forward for SD.

Asuka wrestled the SD MSG show over the weekend. With the belt probably going to Ember Moon at NXT Takeover Orlando, could she be called up on SD to take out Bliss, who defends the title in the chaos of the multi-diva title match at Mania?

 

Daniel Bryan just managed to get himself boo'd for the first time in how long?

Raw needs Asuska to break up this triangle of doom in the womens division. Smackdown has so much more talent, they dont need her

 

We'll see what happens. They need a switch. A trade after Mania.

AJ traded to Raw after his dustup with Shane for ??

Good question tho. Who would you trade from either roster to the other?

 

AJ to Raw for Finn Balor.

 

Charlotte for Alexa.

New Day for American Alpha.

Zayn and Cesaro for Styles and another guy to be named later.

 

I'd be reluctant to move any big names away from Smackdown, to be honest. They'll just get lost in the shuffle on Raw.
