2020 Pro Wrestling Thread

Io diving from the top of the cage with the trash can on her head was an absolutely insane visual.

I'm waiting to see how Pat McAfee looks in the men's match after his great showing in the 1-on-1 with Cole. And since there were no real shenanigans in the women's match, is this where one of the Era guys turns on the others?

 

Yep.

Pat looked great.

Nope.

Great match. Who knew that a punter could be so much fun in the ring?

 

History was made today. For the first time in pro wrestling history, a Man gave birth.

 

And all the pain Arnold Schwarzenegger went through was for naught?

 

Damn, I forgot he’s a WWE Hall of Famer.

 

I understand it's all about a tribute to Pat Patterson, but isn't it a little off brand for the Retribution guys to be on stage for the tribute?

 

Drew might have a future as an NFL emergency quarterback. That briefcase throw cracked me up.

 

Damn. Drew Brees McIntyre broke a panel of the Tron with that heave. I think he also took out one of the spotlights with the director's chair.

 

I guess theyre trying to differentiate this from the Roman-KO story but I wish this was mano-e-mano McIntyre vs Styles for a banger of a match instead of a disjointed multi-man schmoz involving Miz Morrison and Sheamus.

it feels more like a baron corbin story than a Mania level showdown

 

I like the effort of them trying to work in the multiple angles guys are taking toward the title. AJ has his title opportunity, so he's sucking up to Miz to hurry up and cash in because he figures Miz is easier to beat than Drew. Miz is seeing through that, but still wants to cash in the briefcase and be champ. Sheamus is clearly working a long con angle, and no one is buying it. Morrison ... I guess he's along for the ride. And then Drew is having to be the cunning badass who just plows through all of these guys physically and mentally.
So I like the thought behind it. It's a bit different than the one-on-one, three-match feuds we've been having. And it's definitely better than the 37th Drew-Orton match this year. It's just not working as well as it was a month ago when they were doing something similar with Miz, Orton, Fiend and Drew.

 

And with the Royal Rumble on the horizon, it's possible that we are witnessing actual long-term booking.

 

The comment about Morrison made me think something: It would be a helluva twist if they had Miz about to cash in, get hit by a Claymore, and then Morrison grabs the briefcase and nails Drew. Then he's standing there with Miz and McIntyre both laid out, and Morrison cashes in the contract to win the title, betraying his friend but getting the belt for himself.
