2020 Pro Wrestling Thread

So they're going have an Elimination Chamber PPV, where the only Chamber match is for the Raw women's contender -- even though we know it's going to be Shayna?

 

I missed the beginning ... did Roman just come out and challenge Goldberg for the championship? If so, why even bother trying to win the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, etc.? Just be first out after the Saudi show and challenge for the title and BAM! You're goin' to Wrestlemania, big man!
Heath Slater ought to try that some time.

 

Well, there's another Chamber match I guess.

 

Tackomania!

 

So as far as anyone can tell, the WWE has banned the piledriver except for Kane and Undertaker's Tombstone versions. Can't help but wonder what is being said right now in Gorilla after the Usos did a Canadian (Samoan?) Destroyer on John Morrison off the middle turnbuckle.

 

Wrestlemania matches can apparently be set up like junior high dance partners. Just wander over, pick some wallflower, and point, and you're good to go.
Did like the Undertaker riff with Cena and Bray, though.

 

Also, we need to get a Bray vs. Kofi feud at some point to decide once and for all which WWE wrestler handles losing a world championship better.

 

Just for giggles, Universal championship reigns

Goldberg: 2
AJ Styles: 0
Braun Strowman: 0
Samoa Joe: 0
Daniel Bryan: 0
Undertaker: 0
John Cena: 0
Shinsuke Nakamura: 0
Hell even Triple H: 0

 

Not for nothing but the way Cole oversold the Goldberg/Reigns confrontation as goosebumps.....

if there was one goosebump on the show it was the last scene not the first. Speaks to the audience connection Fiend has and Cena still has over Reigns. Crowd ate it up.

 

To be fair, A.J. Styles has been WWE champion twice (including a year-long reign), and Daniel Bryan and John Cena once each since the Universal championship was created. So it's not like those other guys haven't had their time to shine.
Also, Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins have held the damn thing, combined for more than two of the nearly four years it's been in existence. That kind of limits opportunities for other people.

 

An extra clip from Truth's special:

I can't wait until Truth is inducted into the Hall of Fame by his childhood hero, John Cena, or a grown-up Little Jimmy.

 

Eww.
