2010 Pro Wrestling Thread

Not sure if anyone else on the board is watching, but hell of a first hour to TNA Turning Point. Some Jersey Shore knockoff beat Jay Lethal for the X Division title, which admittedly was kinda meh. Since then, though, Mickie James and Tara had the most physical women's match and post-match antics I've seen in years, maybe ever, and the Motor City Machine Guns beat Team 3D in the latter's final match. Every time a TNA tag match gets to go about 20 minutes, it's absolutely fantastic.

Now it's RVD and Dreamer.

EDIT: Dreamer legitimately breaks his wrist, but goes another 10 mins or so. RVD wins.

 

Did you buy this one, too?

 

It's written into the budget.

 

It's in my budget too

That Santino tea time segment was awesome.

And Kozlov was an absolute hoot.

 

Best and funniest part of the show.

 

Just caught the ending of Raw, but I think I like what they hinted at. Anyone else get the vibe that Miz is walking out of Survivor Series with the belt, then feuding with Orton for it?
Here's how...
1) Miz comes down with the briefcase, takes out Orton near the end of his match with Barrett.
2) Barrett pins Orton as Cena reluctantly counts to three.
3) As Barrett celebrates, we get Super Cena taking out he and the other members of Nexus.
4) With carnage all around, Miz cashes in the briefcase on Barrett. Cena, still empowered as a referee, happily counts the pin to stick it to Barrett. After Cena's rampage, he could even urge Miz to cash in so Barrett doesn't hold the title for more than a few minutes. They might even hint at some sort of deal between Miz and Cena beforehand.
5) Orton recovers and RKOs the new champion, Miz.
That leaves us with the Cena-Barrett feud in place, and sets up Miz-Orton to feud over the belt. Orton doesn't look too weakened since he lost through shenanigans, and Miz continues his overly arrogant heel persona.
Meanwhile, you still get the "Cena out for revenge" angle to continue the feud with Barrett.

 

That's bloody fantastic.

But, too good. Won't happen.

 

We are 11 days out from a PPV and there are three announced matches, one of which is a Divas bout. I know WWE PPV buyrates have been slumping like crazy. Internet piracy likely has a lot to do with this, but, damn, how about building some feuds instead of throwing random crap together. Haven't the tag straps changed hands in unannounced matches two PPVs in a row?

I'm guessing they will throw together a survivor series match between Nexus and a group of guys like R-Truth, Mark Henry, John Morrison, Kozlov, and Santino.

They could also do team Del Rio vs. team Mysterio. Del Rio, Cody Rhodes, McIntyre, Swagger, and Ziggler vs. Rey Mysterio, Kofi, MVP, Kaval, and ??? (Big Show? Chavo? There are really no top level babyfaces on Smackdown right now).

Could have sworn I read something along these lines beforehand.

Hmm, yes, I believe I read something similar to this, oh, several pages ago.

 

Really? Crap. I honestly just came to that conclusion based on the two minutes of Raw I saw last night. Maybe the post a couple pages back just wormed its way into my subconscious and came to the surface just then.
