2010 Pro Wrestling Thread

I have a feeling I know how next week's 7-on-1 is going to play out ...

Cena mentioned earlier he was going to take out each Nexus member one-by-one. At the end last night, Cena held up his fingers "1 down, 6 to go" ... He might pick off a member one at a time backstage leading up to the main event.

 

That's what I was thinking as the show went off the air. He'll pick everyone but Wade off, setting up a match between Cena and Wade.

 

I would love this.

 

How the heck did the WWE let D'Angelo Dinero/Elijah Burke get away? The guy is gold on the mic and is one of the best in the ring today.

 

To be fair, he really didn't show that much when he was with the WWE, and it took him a little while to get established with TNA, too.

Sometimes, it's about being at the right place at the right time. Although, at 6 foot and 220, he probably wasn't seen as big enough to be a major player in the WWE.

 

Yeah, I definitely think it was a size thing with him. Plus, he kind of got rushed when he initially came up, IIRC. He was expected to be the anchor of a faction on ECW, which really wasn't that believable. He's always gotten good reviews from the indy / IWC crowd, but yeah, his work on TNA has been incredible.

He and Kennedy should be the entire focus of TNA, but it's TNA, so they'll probably eff up both. TNA has a loaded roster, yet somehow, Sting always seems to have the belt and focus on him.

 

I've been watching TNA for about 10 months now and have seen three world champions. Sting wasn't one of them.

What I don't like about TNA at the moment is that they've buried A.J. Styles to the point where they had to turn Abyss into some crazy monster heel so RVD would have a bad guy to wrestle.

Back to Pope/Burke, I believe he's facing Angle this Sunday. Yes, I'm excited.

 

Styles, from what I've seen, seems to me to be better off as a face. Maybe it's because of his size, but he just doesn't seem like he's that effective as a heel.

The only way I can see him being a really good heel is to be similar to someone like Tully Blanchard, who, with his smarmy face, you just wanted to see get the shit kicked out of him every single time.

 

Oh, I love seeing Styles get his ass kicked. From my eyes, at this point, Styles was getting over as a heel and finally coming into his own as that cocky heel character. Then they decide Kazarian needs (1) a push, and (2) someone to wrestle in said push.

 

Anyone notice that Jim Ross's voice is gone from the WWE intro? Someone else is missing from the beginning as well, but I'm not sure who. I do know Michael Cole (ew) and John Cena (saying The Champ Is Here at the end, which is understandable) took Ross's place.

 

TNA is the wrestling equivalent of Jamarcus Russell. Million dollar arm, 10 cent brain.

 

Good lord. Maryse is one snagged thread away from an FCC infraction.
