2018 Pro Wrestling thread

Yeah, the Manhattan Center part of the show is getting ripped on by many in the IWC.

They would have been better off having a separate show simultaneously, maybe with NXT, in between their Raw segments.

 

Considering how they just signed Ricochet, I can't help but think he won't spend much (if any) time getting thrown in the mix. No need for NXT.

And now would seem like a good time to call Neville and see what needs to be done to get him back on TV. Imagine he would receive a nice pop if he were in the Rumble. From there, find a way to get a belt back around his waist.

 

Ricochet, I can definitely see. Neville doesn't want to be a part of the division.

 

I'm thinking they'll have something like Cedric vs. Gulak on Sunday for a vacant title, with Itami in the wings.

About Raw25, I think what killed things was trying to bounce between two venues. It threw off the flow and killed the crowds every time one venue was not being used over the other. And JR and Jerry's commentary was absolutely flat. Not sure if it was the lack of ambient noise behind it or what.

Raw 1,000 was one venue and flowed much better. They got the legend stuff in and were able to advance a few angles (the A.J./Bryan wedding, Punk's heel turn).

 

But it worked so well at Wrestlemania 2!

 

Not 100% sure if this is legit but saw on Twitter that Matt Hardy was a jobber for IRS on one of the early Raws.

I wonder how many examples there are of guys whove had televised matches with a father and son......especially without it being part of a family angle (like fighting the old man for heat while feuding with the son etc)

 

Hogan and Flair probably did it with the Ortons. Kane has been around long enough that he might have had matches with Rikishi and the Usos, and maybe even the Hennigs.

 

Hardys spent a couple of years as jobbers. I remember it was a surprise when they started getting some attention despite being jobbers.

They did a book years ago, and talked about their early jobbing days. Jeff was a teenager who lied about his age so he could work, and ended up in the ring with Razor. He banged his knee up, and thought Razor was a bit rough, but Hall apologized later. In another match, he worked with Owen, and praised him for actually letting him get some offense in.

As for your second, Hogan worked with Cowboy Bob Orton a bunch of times, and Randy at a PPV. Flair worked with Cowboy Bob when Orton tried to collect a bounty put on Flair by Harley Race, and of course, worked with Orton in the Evolution breakup.

Undertaker probably worked with IRS someplace, and, of course, Bray. Some guys might have worked with both Mr. Perfect and Axel.

 

Now alone in fifth place all-time — behind Edge (31), Cena (23), Jericho (22) and Triple H (21) — for most combined WWE major championships (the IC, U.S., and any of the world or tag team titles).
Miz has 17. He was tied with Randy Orton, Bret Hart and Kane on the list.
Miz is also the only one in the top 10 without multiple world championship reigns.

 

And they didn't even wish him well in his future endeavors. Maybe because they believe he may allegedly end up with Nailz as a cell mate.

 

You forgot about Vacant, who just added the Cruiserweight title to his illustrious career.
