2020 Pro Wrestling Thread

What the hell was Vince pissed about? He's the one who OK'd the match being at the corporate HQ.

 

I like the idea of having both matches goimg on simultaneously. This has been pretty fun.
One opportunity they missed, though, was when four of the men were in the elevator. Instead of a shot of them fighting, it should have been of them standing there looking around and waiting for their floor.

 

Did Corbin just murder two people?

 

OTIS?!?!

 

What's the more stunning moment: that finish, or a WWE PPV ending before 9:30?

 

Holy shit. That is ... an odd choice.

Also, a 2 1/2 hour PPV? That is not entirely a bad thing.

 

So does this break up Heavy Machinery over Tucker's jealousy, or does Otis waste the briefcase on the SD tag champ?

 

Otis really was the big kid we all had in our high schools.

 

OK, this Taker doc is really good.

 

MITB was awesome. Really fun.

Sooo Bayzler never made it to the roof? Was the last thing she did choke out Rey Mysterio? Weird.

i cant be the only one who noticed Carmella looks....different.... maybe that suspected corona hiatus was a different sort of recovery....

 

Interesting bit of analysis by Pro Wrestling Torch’s Wade Keller regarding the Wyatt-Strowman match:

Not an entirely unpredictable sequence there. It’s becoming more clear over time that without a crowd, the wrestlers who can work smooth and steady with flashy highspots works much better than larger lumbering wrestlers. Also, the last minute or two shoed (sic) have been paced quicker, as the milking of the moment went on a little too long and it just felt like it dragged without a crowd reacting to the cadence.​

This may be one reason WWE’s seemed weak without a crowd: McMahon’s noted for his preference for larger lumbering wrestlers. I haven’t quite gone full ECW-mark-chanting-“Rest hold! Rest hold!”-in-slow-spots but it’s been in my head in different matches over the past two months.

(And now it’s in your head, too.)
