2021 Pro Wrestling Thread

And WWE's final ranking:

1. Trish
2. Charlotte
3. Becky
4. Chyna
5. Asuka

Can't say I disagree with that, though I half expected them to put Charlotte at the top.

 

I think if we redo this list in 10 years, Charlotte and Becky could both be past Trish. I think Trish (and Lita) deserve some credit for actually wanting to have good matches and putting the work in, but I think both would struggle to hang with today's women wrestlers.

 

Cesaro vs. Seth at Mania? Wish it was for more stakes, but yes please.

 

... and Owens vs. Zayn? It's not like we haven't seen that 5,000 times, but they could tear the house down on a stage like that.

 

Unhinged Edge is good Edge.

 

Right To Censor lives, and they're working for NBC.
By the time they're done with this project the only evidence we have that the WWF existed before 2005 might be a couple of episodes of Superstars and a Bob Backlund vs. Big John Studd match from 1980.

Peacock pulls racist WWE segments from streaming service

 

ehhh Lita Sasha and Bayley got jobbed a little bit, although I cant say who I’d take out of the top 5. Asuska, I guess.

Becky vs Sasha’s an interesting case. Becky reached a high Sasha hasnt touched but it lasted about 6 months from the bloody nose to Mania NY. Banks has been more consistently at the top of her game over a number of years and has every historic milestone other than first Mania main event. Could argue it either way

 

Speaking of Mania Smackdown is killing it.

the triple threat, KO/Sami, Banks/Belair and Rollins/Cesaro all have me more excited than anything on the raw side.

Not sure why theyre running back E and Crews.... I wouldve let Appolo win the title last week and give E a crowning at Mania if that was the plan but hey no bodys perfect

 

The weird part about Sasha Banks to me lately has been that Shoemarker and Kazeem have been acting like she's a huge star because she's in The Mandolorian. Which, while that's cool, she's in two episodes and probably fifth or sixth on the call sheet for those episodes. I've never heard a non-wrestling fan mention her presence on the show.

 

right, this is more like Stone Cold being on Nash Bridges than Rock being in the Mummy.

i dont know if more people outside the rasslin bubble know Banks or Lynch.... my guess, sadly, would be neither

 

One thing I noticed with the women's countdown ... for as many years as she's been on the payroll, Tamina was nowhere in the 50.

Sure, she hasn't exactly commanded the main event scene, but that's kind of a kick in the backside.

 

I only think she first got hired because of her relation to Snuka, and now, that's probably going to be why they eventually let her go. But, I don't think she's done any kind of work to really set herself apart from the "meh" of the division. She's a poor woman's Nia Jax.
