2019 Pro Wrestling thread

Maybe Natalya and Becky can do a play on heel anti-US Bret vs. Austin, especially with the PPV in Toronto.

Maybe the heel turn they apparently had planned for Natalya vs. Ronda before Anvil died and scuttled those plans.

 

It’s a big mistake they gave up on Asuka and Moon. Asuka should have turned heel and Moon is a believable contender with some buildup.

Nattie hasn’t done anything besides being Ronda’s buddy and hanging out with Uncle Bret.

 

Its insanity. They’ve built no credible women. No knock on Nattie, any of the other 3 women in that match would’ve been just as bad opponents for Lynch.

Kari Sane? Had one of the best matches on the Evolution PPV not a year ago and since her call up she’s been on TV what twice? Can’t tell me she, Shayna and the fans all wouldnt be better off if Kari was just going against Bayzler on every Takeover over the last 9 months instead.

 

I think this goes back to the writers didn't know how to build a storyline without a title being involved. Ember Moon is another wrestler they wasted. She was hot in NXT and could've carried over, but they killed her.

I think they need to go full heel with Natalya. Have her start talking about how she was the women's revolution before the current crop of women knew what a revolution was and she doesn't get any credit for it. She paved the way, and now she's an afterthought. Have her jump women in the back just to send a message that she's still a power even if they want to ignore her. Heck, let her have a hit list if the stars who came up after her and have been in the spotlight, and have her take them down one by one. If Rousey comes back, have Natalya add her to the list. Screw friendship. This is about getting what she deserves, what she earned.

And when Charlotte comes back, put them together as a tag team and let them rule the women's division as a female Legacy until they go at each other down the road. They're the true heirs of WWE glory. Their fathers brought it to the federation, and now they're bringing it to the women's division.

 

Part writers, part herky jerk TV time, like you start something with Paige and the Kabukis, then they disappear for 2 months....

Part of it is the absolute vaccuum Rousey left. Everything that went into building her resulted in only one star (Lynch) who now has no opponents bc there was no womens undercard making someone, anyone, respectable during Rondas year on top.

Also part tag team mess. Like if they were no tag belts, would Banks vs Man Lynch be a fresh awesome match? Hell yes. Would either Royce or Billie Kay be ready for a singles title match vs Lynch? Maybe. Moreso than Lacey for sure.

Theyve not put enough effort into building the number of stars they need to sustain 3 womens titles.

 

Not enough time as well. To build three belts and the contenders under to be the next in line for them, they'd need to have more segments with women than they do. But when you have six mens titles, it's practically too much. That's nine different championships to build feuds for them alone. Leaves next to no time to build up the undercard for anything, especially when you throw out the roster divisions and just have the same storylines building on both major shows..

 

Becky and Seth have nothing on Kacy and Ricochet.

 

Interesting that they actually seem to care some about Liv Morgan to apparently reboot her character.

 

Gable vs. Gallagher can do no wrong.

And I'm intrigued by what they do with Kanellis and Drake -- only if they have some continuity between Raw Drake and 205 Drake.

 

Nice nod to Shane botching the first stunner.

 

I think the thing I love about this most is the Kitchen Nightmares episode lol.

 

Man, I wish Ramsey still did the UK version of that show. So much better and less hyperbolic than anything else he's done.
