2019 Pro Wrestling thread

No stunner for anyone at the end? Strange.

 

Just saw that they're replaying Raw at 11:45 p.m. EST tonight, and at 5 p.m. tomorrow. Wonder if that's something new, or just a one-time deal for this "special episode?"
Can't recall them ever doing that before.

 

Was expecting somebody to do their trademark move -- no pedigree, sweet chin music, stunner ... hell, not even a cobra strike from Santino.

 

Damn it. The biggest icon in WWE history was backstage and didn't even get on air.

 

Fahkin HHH man. I hate modern lame ass dad DX so much. If I never see those idiots again itll be too soon.

Ron Simmons rules, best part of the show besides the awesome 24/7 title stuff. Million dollar man was the nuts.

 

Yeah, how does he not make an appearance? Shit, turn the Braun squash into a handicap match where the kid pins the jobber. Everyone smiles.

 

They did seem to subtly tease an HBK/Styles confrontation. But otherwise, that was lame, besides Road Dog mentioning Billy. They made Rollins look like a mark.

 

Did I miss seeing Sid, or was he at a softball game?

 

I get that we’re not supposed to have any continuity, but Rollins is the kingslayer (the king being hhh) and hhh joined the club for a Japan pop like a week ago! Its the kinda thing Kevin Owens should be screaming about in his worked shoots if his McMahon hate spills beyond Shane.

Also was Ricochet even on the show? Maybe sprinkle some hbk dust on the guy AJs actually feuding with who has no history of war with HHH, right?

 

Apparently, Meltzer said that Ricochet was supposed to be in Rollins’ spot on the show, but is dealing with an elbow injury. There are also reports that a lot of the old guys weren’t medically cleared, and they couldn’t do anything physical, so the show got changed up a bunch.

 

Dadgeneration X?

 

Thinking about it now. HUGE missed opportunity by the E with The Club and DX.

Club beats up Rollins. HBK and HHH come down. Club thinks they’re with them with the “too sweet” gesture. Trips cuts a promo saying that as the originals, they were not sellouts to anyone. Club beats them up as Heyman shows up to taunt Rollins as a callback to earlier in the show when Rollins threatened him. Other DX members come down, but are held back from the ring as the Club has chairs. Have A.J. paint “The OC” on HBK’s back as a callback to the NWO.

Rollins/Lesnar feud moves along, HBK vs. Styles is set up, and multiple callbacks are done. Instant heat.
