2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

It'd be awesome to see Flair have one last run, but I wouldn't want to see him on a run with the spinner belt. Let him win "Goldy," which was made for him to begin with. Give him one last run with the belt he first held when WCCW became WCW (is that right? Or was it when he was the NWA champ? I get that mixed up all the time).

It'd be a good match only if Vicky and those two guys (can't remember their names...don't watch SD enough to even care, really) don't get involved in any way.

And I hope the rumors about Undertaker aren't true. But then again, we hear them every year around this time.

 

Yeah, but he'd have to go to Smackdown for that to happen, right? I can't see that happening.

 

He's feuding with a Smackdown guy now. It could happen, but it'd take some setting up.

 

Hey, if the Great Khali can become champ, anything can happen.

 

Flair already is "supposed to be" a member of Smackdown. Went over in the last draft, then was off TV forever while he and Vince worked out their issues.

 

Issues?

 

I'm still surprise by that Khali decision. By the why, that "you can't wrestle" chant was loud as fuck in the Rumble. I think you can see the disappointment in his face too while trying to fight Taker. LOL

 

So Lesnar loses his MMA debut tonight in UFC. Apparently, he opened well and was able to knock his opponent to the ground with a punch and took the guy down a couple of times, but got caught in a submission move and lost. JBL, Angle, Taker and Austin were in attendance.

According to Meltzer, UFC officials were very pleased with Lesnar's performance and see potential with him.

 

And we all know Khali can speak English. I'd like to know what he's thinking when he hears those chants. Almost makes you feel sorry for the guy.

 

The funny thing is, Khali has been "wrestling" for the past 6-7 years. Time to give it up, but he'll always have a place in WWE.

 

If you have ever been to a WWE event like RAW or anything...if it says it starts at 6 CST or 7 EST for those on the East Coast, when does the real "card" begin? Would I miss anything by showing up an hour late? I got free tickets.

 

Raw runs live, so the good stuff won't begin until 9 p.m. EST. They'll begin the show with a dark match or two (as in, not on TV). Usually they involve local jobbers losing to low-end wrestlers that won't be on TV that night, though you'll also get semi-established names wrestling a tryout match, as well as developmental league guys getting ready to move up and/or road testing gimmicks (I remember seeing Curt Henning wrestle a very green Brock Lesnar, and on a previous show a hippie cultist Edge, being managed by Don Callis). Heat taping begins at 8, so slightly better matches, but no major storylines get advanced. And there'll be a dark post-Raw match, usually a tag match involving four of the main event guys. Faces always win or deliver the post-match beatdown to send the fans home happy, since more often than not the heels stand tall at the end of TV. It's never a great match, but it does help distribute the outgoing crowd flow better.
