2018 Pro Wrestling thread

That was great. Pre-Mad Dog Buzz Sawyer, who looked intimidating later on, but was actually only around 5-10, and maybe 220 pounds tops.

 

Is Rousey already winning the Raw’s Women’s World Championship?

 

I hope not. Way too early.

Ideally, Nia should hit a bunch of power moves on her, Ronda shows heart and fights back, and then someone interferes to beat up Ronda and set up another program.

 

One thought ... Natalya wins the MITB match. Then Rousey beats Jax and Natalya cashes in on her immediately afterward.

 

Is this the first time there's been a Raw in London and they didn't have either a phone box, double decker bus or some other British stereotype prop in the arena?

 

It's like they don't even care anymore. If the Roman crap isn't already bad enough, he spears Jinder through a "wall," a "wall" that opens into a completed hallway.

 

Rousey maybe shouldnt win but its not horrible because Nia is not over. At least not to the level that a smarky ppv crowd will shit on a loss like if Ronda beat Banks Bayley Becky or Asuska.

It is bizarre booking for Jax tho. Shes supposed to be a huge face, anti bullying hero; and vs Rousey she has to work heel. Hows that sposed to work?

I do think keeping Ronda away from any horsewomen and asuska is helping her not be Roman 2.0. Its sort of smart.

 

One other casual observation from Raw....... Drew McIntire's billed at 6-5, 285 and Braun is 6-8, 385.

No way.......Drew looked positively gigantic standing next to Braun, he looked about the same size

 

Has McIntire always been that big? I seem to remember during his first WWE run him being much closer in build to guys like Ziggler and Rollins, around 220-230 and tall and lean. Never watched him in TNA, so I have no idea if he put on weight and mass or if I'm misremembering.

 

I honestly don't know, he never struck me as being all that big before.....but something about seeing him next to Braun last night made me think "holy shit that guy is enormous."

Maybe I'm just losing my mind lol

 

He's definitely put on some muscles over the years:

 

83 Weeks With Eric Bischoff Podcast (podcast)

Pretty interesting stuff during the podcast about Bret Hart. Eric basically calls Bret a big fat liar.
