2022 Pro Wrestling Thread

Was that really her first clean loss?
I'm just as stunned that Ronda didn't attack her while handing over the belt to set up one more match for Summerfest. Guess Ronda decided it's 5 o'clock somewhere and is taking a vacation.

 

I mean, it’s semi-clean, as it was a MITB cash-in. It’s not like Ronda was fresh.

I thought for a few seconds they were going to have Liv tap to be the first woman to lose. If they would have done that, Vegas might have rioted.

 

Summerfest = A music festival in Milwaukee for past 50+ years

SummerSlam = Wrestling’s biggest summertime PPV for past 30+ years

 

There was the 3-way with Charlotte and Becky at WrestleMania with the bungled 3-count, then there was when Charlotte cheated over Ronda earlier this year, leading up to the "I quit" match.

 

Oh, shit. They're going to shove Theory down our throats by giving him the briefcase.

 

A six-man Shield bomb on Omos. That was impressive.

 

Ugh. No logic behind this other than it's Vince's latest flavor of the month.

 

That's exactly the logic. That's a big part of his his heel gimmick.
At least it's somebody new. The only real intriguing possibilities among the others were Rollins (him hamming it up with the briefcase would've been great) and Zayn (holding it for months on end when you know he's double crossing Reigns at some point also could've been great).
Riddle would have gotten a huge pop when he cashed in, but there are other ways to get him there.
Seamus and McIntyre? Meh.
Moss and Omos? God, no.

Plus, at least Theory actually worked the match, unlike when Lesnar came down the ramp in the last 30 seconds and somehow won it.

 

Theory’s a new star. We’re always complaining about making new stars. We can’t then complain when they do.

 

Just because they’re “new” doesn’t mean they’re good.
