2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

My thoughts exactly.

Is this what happens when WWE runs out of ideas?

 

Big Slow is Jericho's partner? W. T. F.

 

Yeah, that kind of sucked but I think it's better than most of the alternatives. I was actually hoping it would be Morrison. Too bad he's a face right now.

 

ANYONE would have been better than Mr. Wight.

There had to be another heel -- Christian immediately comes to mind, but that makes too much sense -- to pair him with.

 

Any idea of it being Christian went out the window when the tag match began the whole damn thing.

 

I think having heels vs. heels tag title match limited the choices considerably for Jericho. It would have been tough for say, Undertaker or HBK to make their return in this situation because even if wanted to cost Jericho the title, it would have been helping Legacy. I actually liked Jericho's cliffhanging statement backstage during Raw last week with DiBiase and Rhodes that perhaps Orton would be his partner (as he said it right to DiBiase) even though it wasn't going to actually happen. The secret partner angle should have actually been a chance to elevate someone. Having the end result be Big Show was a major letdown and WWE, again, screwed it up.

What if Jericho had replaced himself, too, and brought Morrison and Miz back together because Jericho could then say he wanted to focus on regaining the world title and create his own faction (how about Ego Trip for a group name for Morrison, Miz and Jericho)? Even that would have been better IMO.

 

The PPV was good.

The US title match had TONS of action and showcased a lot of the young stars in the WWE - Kofi, MVP, Swagger, Miz, Primo, Carlito, (am I missing someone?).

I missed The Big Slow and Jericho stuff as I was trying to find a feed that wasn't getting shut down every two minutes. I liked how after the match Jericho said something to the effect of "Thanks, Edge, for getting hurt and allowing me to pick The Big Show." I really think Edge will be a face when he comes back. That comment there, along with some other stuff Jericho's been spitting lately, seems to set up something for Edge, whenever he gets back (Hurry back. You are awesome).

The WWE triple threat match wasn't that bad. I was expecting worse. Orton is fucking awesome. But, as someone said, Legacy saving Orton's ass EVERY WEEK is getting old. I know you've gotta play up the cheap/cheating heel role, but not EVERY TIME Orton wrestles. Hell they had to save Orton from 98-year-old Ric Flair a few months ago. ENOUGH ALREADY.

I didn't see much of Hardy-Punk because I was watching something on TV. I think the end of the Tigers-White Sox game. But I did see the finish, which played up Punk as... well, a punk and Hardy as a babyface. Punk is now full heel.

What else... I was on and off with the Divas matches. They just don't do anything for me unless they're 3/4 naked. But what I did see was some big spots. That sliding dropkick Melina while doing the splits and entering the right was awesome. Also, I think one of them faceplanted at one point, which made me say "DAMN!"

Umm.....Christian-Dreamer didn't do much for me.

I feel like I'm missing something. Can't think of it now.

 

Mysterio-Ziggler was halfway decent. Rey seems to be running low on heel options for IC title opponents, though. Maybe have two faces go at it? Great time to elevate Morrison, IMO.

Overall, I got bored watching the PPV. Maybe SS will be better...? Oh, and this Orton/Trips bit needs to end. Soon. How about SS? Hell in A Cell? Then one just beats the shit out of the other, who goes away for a bit.

 

I am only watching tonight because Shaq is hosting. As I mentioned yesterday, if the rumors are true, and that WWE did offer "Freddy Krueger" a deal to host Raw," I'll be ripshit.

 

Ripshit? WTF?

 

I thought it was a common term, but oh well. Let's use bullshit, then.

 

I don't think saying, 'I'm bullshit,' is very common either.
