2022 Pro Wrestling Thread

Figure they're at least aware of it considering Dynamite had been the lead-in to NHL coverage.

 

re: Brock winning - Wouldn't conventional WWE thinking be that this now setups up a Brock vs. Lesnar megamatch to unify the titles at Mania? I mean, I don't really give a shit about that vs. just a normal Brock-Reigns match, but they always insisted on involving the belt in Goldberg matches, too.

 

Only Al Snow can pull that off

 

What is Brian Lee up to these days?

 

Nice, but it needed the :05 in the time slot.

 

Hilarious

 

I find myself wondering why we’re still pushing the Liv Morgan thing. She…… isnt ready. Too mamy botches. Too mamy line flubs. You see her next to Belair and its even more glaring than usual. Not ready for prime time

 

Speaking of Belair, what does "EST" stand for?
Is she just a big fan of Eastern Standard Time, or what?
I don't watch a lot of NXT, didn't pay attention during her introductory vignettes, and now she just references it all the time without ever literally spelling it out once in a while to keep people on track.

 

EST as in fastest, strongest, etc. It worked better when she could still say "the EST of NXT."

 

It’s her 3/4 tribute to Test.

In all seriousness, while I get the E is trying to market her, I find the constant pounding of the phrase into everyone’s head to be annoying.

Just like how Seth Rollins now apparently has a middle name of “Freaking”. I’m sure his parents had fun putting that on his birth certificate.

 

Nick names like everything else are better used organically and in a mix of things, which is why I’ll never understand why WWE is obsessed with getting rid of everyone’s extra names and repeating the same names/phrases 200x per broadcast

 

It reminds me of the TNA days, when Abyss was starting to get over. The announce team would always refer to him as "The Monster, Abyss" except they'd often get too excited and leave out the comma. So he was just "The monster Abyss," which makes it sound like he's a giant black hole. Always drove me nuts.
