2017 Pro Wrestling Thread

Shit man, you're on fire today.

 

Reigns being the only guy in athleisure-wear is at least consistent with his character of inauthentic douche.

 

Also very disappointed in the lack of fanny packs.

 

Yep, I agree with Greenwell. You are on fire today.

 

I've been so busy with work that I haven't contributed anything since WM. But I have to say that the House of Horrors was excellent. That's some next-level WCW shit. I loved it because it was stupid.

 

On the podcast front, everyone has a goddamn podcast these days. Here's a brief review of them all:

Jericho: Excellent. He really could give Nerdist a run for its money if he scored more mainstream guests like Keifer Sutherland.

Steve Austin: The usual wrestling shit.

Jim Ross: The usual wrestling shit.

Not Sam: The usual wrestling shit.

Cheap Heat: The ESPN guy left, so it's back to just Rosenberg and Stat Guy, which is shitty. But Rosenberg has an awful show on the NetWWErk, so he's getting WWE talent as guests.

Masked Man: Pretty good now that Shoemaker has a regular co-host. It's the old vibe of Cheap Heat, just without fuckin' Rosenberg putting himself over as a hip hop/ESPN/WWE insider who's really not that inside.

Edge & Christian: These guys are funny as hell. Pretty decent interviews, but the rest is off the cuff bullshitting. They also had a call in contest for the best impersonator. A Stone Cold impersonator won, and he was interviewed by E&C.

Prichard: Very informative if you want to know what was going on behind the scenes of the old WWF.

Bischoff: Also informative about WCW, but it feels like he's begrudingly doing the show for a paycheck.

Vince Russo: Let me tell ya, bro, this is the biggest bunch of bullshit spewing I have ever heard in my goddamn life, bro! And I don't care about wrestling anymore! But I'm going to do a daily podcast about it, bro, because I need to make money off you fuckin' marks, and I've been blackeballed by every major promotion, bro!

Schiavone: It's the greatest podcast in the history of our sport. Tony was more than an announcer, so he can talk with authority on quite a lot of the old Crockett/WCW days. He's also funny as hell, especially when remembering things that pisses him off. Plus, I'm pretty sure he starts drinking during the show, which makes the show better the longer it goes. He's also obsessed with Debra's puppies.

 

Also, and I'm not posting links, did anyone see Charlotte's old nude pics?

All I'm saying is that she's completely transformed her body in a matter of three or four years. I'd hit it then, I'd hit it now.

 

Masked Man's new pod is now my fave rasslin pod. Not Sams not as good without regular Linnendoll.

 

On another note who the hell is Bray feuding with, why, and could they have possibly booked him worse since he pinned Cena b2b nights a coupleasure months ago?

 

He's supposed to be feuding with Balor, although it has been going at a glacial pace. I was expecting him to show up at the end of the main event, which would have set up (cue the Teddy Long voice) a tag team match between Ambrose and Balor against Miz and Bray next week.

I know Raw was taped in England so, the intensity was down a notch, but frankly it was putting me to sleep, although the Reigns/Braun brawl was interesting.

 

Starting Nakamura off with Dolph and letting it simmer until Backlash is one of the reasons Smackdown >>>>>> RAW.

 

Oh ... you said glacial. My bad.
