2017 Pro Wrestling Thread

Sam Roberts confirmed on his podcast that Renee and Dean did get secretly married.

And now they are on separate shows ...

 

That's odd.....running through my total divas cast in my head....are they the only married couple separated? Usos....Belas...Rusev....I think they are?

Maybe its not as bad for them because I assume Renee's not on the road for house shows? She could move too if they were interested in turning Raw talk into a thing. Bryan's good enough to carry Talking Smack now.

 

Orton is at, what, 14 world titles? Makes me wonder how much RKO has left in the tank? Of course, it isn't like his movie career exactly blossomed and could take the Cena route. Can't see him being the guy to get to 17 and surpass Flair...

He's only in his mid-30s, even though it seems like he's been around forever. He could have another 5-8 years on a main event run if he stays healthy.

 

It's funny, too, in that he's kind of become like Flair in the way he's perceived as an anti-hero, tweener face that regular fans of the product love. He's sort of this generation's Flair to Cena's Hogan.

A fun angle could be if Orton gets to 16 before Cena gets to 17. Have them feud one last time for GOAT status, culminating in a ladder match for the title.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

That would mean three more reigns for Orton, and I don't think anyone really wants to see that -- no matter how big a mark they are for the guy.

 

Orton's a really interesting case study. Seems like most hardcore fans don't dislike him enough for him to have heat like Reigns, but also don't like him enough for him to be super over like Bryan. He's just kind of there.

His title runs have some of the most bland periods of business I can ever remember though. By far the worst live event I've ever seen was headlined by Orton Big Show for the title.

 

Looks like Superman returned at a house show last night. So much for those "internal injuries" ...

 

Haven't done this in a while, so I'll start off with a simply question:

Better commentator overall: JR or Gorilla?

 

Gordon Solie.

 

Gorilla was awful, if you go back and listen. He was really good at the time, but man the cliches make it hard to listen to nowadays.

And y'all all misspelled Joey Styles.
