2017 Pro Wrestling Thread

C'mon, he was stuck in a garbage truck for more than a week!

 

I was talking about Joe, not Braun.

 

My bad.

Also, Bray Wyatt is on the European Tour as he wrestled in a six-man with The Bar against The SHHHield. So look for Bray to come back soon. Then again, the way they bury him each time, dont' look for much of anything new.

 

And wouldn't you know it, the damn Houston Press stopped publishing a print edition today!

The Presses Have Stopped, But the Press Lives On

 

Maybe Brother Love's benefactor can buy the paper. After all, everybody has a price, even newspaper executives.

 

So, Omega vs Jericho at Wrestling Kingdom 12. Call me intrigued.

 

Wanna be paid to watch crappy wrestling?

 

Well, that certainly shakes things up a bit for Survivor Series.
This is shaping up as an odd lead-up to a major PPV, where the matches they started promoting at the beginning of the cycle are being intentionally changed not long before the actual event. Can't remember them doing that too often, if ever, when an injury or something like that wasn't involved.

 

Unless they hot potato the belt back to Jinder in a rematch next week, Brock vs. Styles can be a good one.

Now, for the MAIN main event: 30 for 30 on Ric Flair.

 

It's more than a little jarring to see the Undertaker smile and hear his "real" voice.

 

Definitely more intriguing than Brock vs. Jinder. Also a lot less risky. AJ can absorb a hard-fought loss if need be, and is easily built up as a credible underdog challenger. It was hard to see how Jinder came away from a match with Brock without either being worse for it -- either Brock for losing to someone most sane people don't see as being in his league, or Jinder for getting destroyed on every level with a loss.
That said, I would hate to see Jinder slide back to 3MB territory after the work he and the WWE have put into turning him into something more. Hopefully he gets another title reign, either the WWE or at least the U.S. title, within the next year.

 

And Road Warrior Animal still has the face paint on.
