2018 Pro Wrestling thread

Fair. That felt organic with complete character change.

This feels like how neville was no longer adrian, cass wasnt colin cassidy, elias is no longer samson or the drifter, hell i cant believe brauns still allowed to be called strowman

 

Corey Graves, the hero we need

 

I'm still annoyed Antonio Cesaro lost his first name.

 

Not over Finlay losing “Fit” in his name.

 

The duo of Finn and Bayley is long overdue. Bliss and Braun should make for some more humor, as should Truth and Carmella.

But Jinder and Fox? Did they purposely try to partner two of the worst wrestlers on Raw together?

 

R Truth is also a god damn national treasure.

 

Just like his pal Goldust, he's a great hand to have on the roster as a mentor. He's got great mic presence, and for 46 (!) he still moves damn well.

Can't wait until Truth gets inducted into the Hall of Fame and is presented by Little Jimmy.

 

Just listening to Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard - Hulk Hogan's 1989 - 1990.

Conrad just asked Bruce who was Hulk's best opponents. He says Andre was his best rivalry. What say you?

 

Macho Man. That rivalry had more dimensions to it than Andre-Hulk, which was great but not quite at the level of Hogan-Savage.

 

Ultimate Warrior's reflection in the mirror?

 

I'd say Andre. Taking aside their first feud from 1980-81 which was a different era, Hogan/Andre involved friendship, the title, getting respect, who ruled the yard, size, the spectacle of WM3, twin refs, and Bobby Heenan.
Plus Andre was the guy that made you doubt Hogan could win.

The Savage feud had many of the same elements, except add the Elizabeth love triangle in that, but I never doubted Hogan would lose.

Piper is probably third, and Orndorff fourth on the list of rivals in that era.
