2017 Pro Wrestling Thread

It's not like they're the first incarnation of the Four Horsemen. It was only about 7 years ago.

 

Well, he's got kids to feed.

The Nexus is one of the great storyline disappointments in wrestling history. It could have been tremendous. Instead, it fizzled out.

 

Amazing to think this is the same guy who once couldn't even read the Divas Search phone number off his own hand.

 

It's not like they stunk individually, either. Post-Nexus, half of them had at least one championship run, and several got main event pushes. Weird that none of them were able to break through to bigger things than the mid-card on a permanent basis.

 

From the original NXT Daniel Bryan was always meant to be the star of that group, with Barrett second most likely to succeed. Byran had career ending injury and Barrett had multiple injuries and quit. So it's more bad luck than anything else.

 

re: Emma, it wouldn't surprise me if she just let her contract lapse or something. In the past, the WWE would actually give people an angle when their contract was just about up - Swagger, Ziggler - only to send them back to the midcard or lower after they signed.

 

Don't know if anyone else saw this:

Wrestling's Brother Love, Twice Fired by WWE, Finds Redemption Through Hit Podcast

 

Really in depth story, good read. Thanks for posting speed

 

Yeah, just finished it myself. Thanks Speed.

 

Speaking of Brother Love, I enjoyed the New Day's Halloween costumes for their match tonight.
Kofi was dressed as Brother Love, Xavier Woods as Jimmy Hart, and Big E as Akeem.

 

Graves called Big E Alabama dream which is a Conran Thompson thing. Kind of cool, and given that wwe bans tna references and fired a guy for taking a pic with the bullet club, shows maybe Prichard isn't personal non grata
