2018 Pro Wrestling thread

I had similar thoughts. All I know is that it’s going to be in Long Island, NY and it will take place in September.

 

Tag straps incoming.

 

Whats a dream card for an all womens ppv?

*Mae Young classic final
*Asuska vs Becky Lynch for smackdown title
*Charlotte Flair vs Trish Stratus or Nikki Bella
*Alexa Bliss vs Nia Jax
*Some kind of schmoz tag with Naomi and Carmella
*Nattie vs Ember Moon

Main event: Rousey and Shayna Bayszler vs Sasha Banks and Bayley

In a different world Rouseys the raw champion by now and you close with Banks vs Bayley or Rousey vs Banks, then include an NXT title match.

But I’m booking a horsewomen feud because I think it captures both the main stream and the smark and I want to see it.

Depending on how Banks, Bayley and the Smackdown title picture play out, you could book Sasha vs Bayley and then Ronda and Bayszler vs Becky and Charlotte....

 

Sad news yesterday as former USWA mainstay Brickhouse Brown passed away at the age of 57 from prostate cancer. He had a handful of matches in WWF in 1995 as well. Solid yet very underrated African-American worker.

 

Yeah, he was popular in the South, including World Class. I remember seeing one of his WWF job matches and feeling kinda sad that they weren't giving him a push.

 

And given the storyline between Bayley and Sasha Banks, I think it's a slam dunk that they're the first team to win it. Makes sense to start a tag team belt now with so many women who have no chance to get in the title picture. Potential ready-made teams, outside of Bayley/Banks:

Sarah Logan/Liv Morgan
Alicia Fox/Dana Brooke
Mandy Rose/Sonya Deville
The Iconic Duo

And you could always pair wrestlers such as like Lana, Tamina, or whoever else as experiments to at least get them in the ring as opposed to sitting on the sidelines.

 

That was an amazing promo by Kevin Owens.

 

Are they fricking serious with this again

 

Prediction: Owens bears Strowman somehow (I’m guessing a countout by nefarious means). Reigns wins the title. Owens cashes in on Reigns. That or a Strowman cash-in are the only ways they redeem this shitty booking.

 

I can't decide if I'm more ticked off about Roman, or about the Strowman/Owen's, Ziggler/Rollins and apparent Balor/Corbin rematches.

Summerslam is a huge show, I expected fresh matches not rehashed jobs from an extreme rules show that felt transitional and wasn't that good to begin with. I don't want to see any of these matches again.

Felt optimistic coming out of Extreme Rules because things felt wide open..... Instead were getting regurgitation. Puke.

 

It's not confirmed yet but it looks like Matt Riddle has signed a 3-year deal with WWE. He'll finish his indy commitments before reporting to NXT.

 

With Brock apparently appearing next week, I'll be curious what they do with Braun.
