2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

I knew the guy looked sorta familiar when I watched the replay of that match. I wish WWE would give him another shot, instead of just using him like that.

 

Both Sim Snuka and Manu had loads of talent and the looks to be great stars in the WWE. I wonder what Snuka Sr. is saying about all of this...

 

I'm guessing he's the reason they used Sim at Mania.

 

I would have imagined that with Snuka's place in WWE history, WWE would be more willing to give his SON a job in WWE. It wasn't like Snuka was doing all that bad, either. He could wrestle and it seems like he had some decent mic skills.

 

Yeah, but he's 37.

 

Sim Snuka is 37? Good lord. That means Supafly is like 70. He looks like it.

Also, it was probably better that the "cameraman" was a wrestler, because he was supposed to take a big hit from a 6-10, 300-pound flying monster. Instead the move was nearly botched, UT landed on his head, and the cameraman probably broke his back by falling on that camera. Watch it closely, he gets EFFED UP by the camera.

 

Watched the replay last night. You can see Sim reaching out to catch him and just totally whiffing. Taker was able to turn over enough, though, that he did land on his shoulders and not squarely on his head. Still not what you want to have happen, but not as bad as it could've been.

 

At least Sim got a WM payday. Remember when Vladimir Kozlov was going to wrestle Undertaker? Never made the card, unless he was a lumberjack in the preshow tag match.

Not sure what you'd do with Snuka now. He could have come out in defense of his father, though that's a Raw match and not a WM one.

Funny to think that it was Manu and Snuka going to then-Raw GM Steph to complain about Orton that started the ball rolling on the Legacy-McMahons feud.

 

Kozlov has faded from beating the Undertaker cleanly to not having a WM match in less than a month.

I've always thought that Snuka should have carried on his father's legacy, so to speak, with the Superfly splash. But, maybe he wanted to forge his own legacy? (no pun intended).

 

Alright, folks. It's Monday! Tonight is Raw and it's draft night and the week after the return of Batista. Thoughts? Predictions? Hunches?

 

RB's Bold Prediction: A current world champion gets drafted.
