2017 Pro Wrestling Thread

Is it so bad its good?

Im kind of glad its not a main event Mcmahon HHH thing.

But this is kind of silly.

 

They could do a thing where Trips and Co. don't like the nepotism that Angle would do with Jordan (ironic in itself) and firstly, beat up Jordan to set up a Trips/Angle match.

Still pretty meh. I don't get why the revelation could have cost Angle his job. It's 2017, not 1917.

 

Check out @WWEGable's Tweet:

 

They probably did it because all the stuff they wrote for Kennedy and Vince years ago was gathering too much dust.

 

So we're not going to be tag team champs?

 

One side issue in all this is that another tag team is getting broken up. Don't they realize having established tag teams helps in providing additional storylines and gives more guys something to do instead of languishing in lower card purgatory?

 

I feel like this is the kind of storyline that would have worked much better before the Internet, when people might have wondered whether it was true or not. Especially since you actually have wrestlers on the roster who are unacknowledged children of notable wrestlers (by unacklowedged I mean in the storyline) and most fans know all about it.

 

Vince McMahon: "Inter-what-now?"

 

Smackdown was really really bad and then Tyler Breeze came on dressed as Dana Scully and somehow it was better.

Blue brand in 2017 everybody.

 

Part of me still thinks that there's something a bit fishy with Corey Graves. First, he reveals that Big Cass was behind his & Enzo's attacks and now, he's tied in with the Kurt Angle reveal. Got the feeling that when Stephanie returns, he'll have something to do with this as well.

 

So, Shane McMahon survived a helicopter crash today.

Shane McMahon rescued from helicopter that crash landed in ocean

Some Twitter gems ...

 

Too bad next year's Wrestlemania is in the Silverdome (). Otherwise, Shane could drop an elbow from a helicopter.

Speaking of helicopters and wrestling, it reminds me of one Nitro that was outdoors in Florida (one of the shows that had the ring in a swimming pool). They had Sting make an entrance rappelling down from a helicopter (pre-Owen Hart). It turned out to be a mess, because it took Sting forever to safely make it down, the rotors blew the ring aprons all over the place, and the fans were ducking away from the wind being generated.

One of WCW's many failed stunts.
