2010 Pro Wrestling Thread

Seconded. Love it.

I hope Bourne in the main event does result in some sort of push. It kind of mirrors what TNA started doing with Jay Lethal...who now is just himself instead of a Savage knockoff and becoming part of the upper-card picture. I love watching both Bourne and Lethal wrestle, and I hope both get pushed well.

I also kind of like what WWE is doing with Rikishi's kids and Snuka's daughter. The twins seem decent on the mic already, and both have a decent look.

Another thing I like: what TNA's doing with Samoa Joe. Walk in, say nothing, kick ass, walk out. It reminds me of something in WCW that seemed to work, only this isn't happening in actual matches...

 

Seems like I only ever chime in with NXT news - which is incredible for a show I've rarely seen - but Wade Barrett won the competition tonight and, according to Wikipedia, gets a title shot at a PPV and a Raw contract.

I still wonder what happens to the guys who didn't win. It's not like they can disappear from collective consciousness and re-debut under another gimmick in the future, can they?

In any case, among the competitors for the next "season" are Mike Rotunda's son, Curt Hennig's son and the artist formerly known as Lo-Ki.

 

There's going to be another season?

Why?

 

Not sure whether anyone watches SmackDown!, but Taker legitimately broke his face, which they turned into some stupid storyline. Anyway, Mysterio has taken his place at Fatal 4-Way.

On the smackdown topic . . . has Kelly Kelly gone through a little, ahem, change?

 

Did I really see a dance-off between Santino and Kozlov? Given that it's the viewer's choice tonight, I really don't have any faith left in WWE's viewership.

 

That was hilarious. A waste of time, yes, but considering they are about to start having the two team together, it's a funny way to get them over...

 

That skit was a waste. Good god that was awful.

 

Vince McMahon has proven once again why he is the stupidest motherfucker that ever owned a wrestling company.

Would Ivan Koloff have been put in a dance off? Baron Von Raschke? Killer Kowalski?

Jesus fucking Christ, let's take a guy, put him out there as this Russian beast, and then make him dance.

God DAMN I hate wrestling anymore. What a stupid collection of shit they're spewing.

 

Is this their attempt to get over the new guys?

 

This is kind of cool just because it's unexpected. And odd.

 

WTF?
