2010 Pro Wrestling Thread

Censoring Austin is over the top. All he said was ass.

Did they censor it in the arena so the little kiddies in attendance couldn't hear it too?

 

Yeah, censoring Austin was a little ridicuous. Considering they still have fans still yell, "Suck It" and there was a simulated sex scene about four years ago, now the WWE has gone completely in the other direction. I don't mind if a few of the seven dirty words are aired, or if they show blood, but just as long as they keep the sex stuff out, I'm OK with it.

One other thing that I found interesting was when Vince said that he was fine with Stu being inducted in the Hall, because that meant all the Harts were going to come, and that they were the most dysfunctional family. He's actually right on that, from all the books that have come out. I was hoping Bret would have then said, "Yeah, well you killed the most normal Hart."

 

I thought Owen was a nugget?

I watched about five minutes last night (the Orton part), but changed the channel during the break in his match and then fell asleep. How did he and HHH's match finish?

If Randy Orton was not on RAW, I wouldn't watch. Jericho and Edge, my other two favorites, are on SD and I don't watch that.

 

Crap ending, as usual. DiBiase and Orton come out to beat on Orton, then Sheamus comes out to beat on HHH. Next week, it's a handicap match with HHH/Orton vs. DiBiase/Rhodes/Sheamus. Ooh, how will HHH and Orton get along? (Like they haven't done that to death).

 

I actually thought a Sheamus-Legacy stable would have been a good move. But not like this. This is too disjointed. And why a three-way at WM when it was already established that DiBiase and Rhodes were on the same page the whole time? Now they're going to have to manufacture some dissension on the fly to make us buy in on the three-way component (we won't), or they'll sell it as "oh, it may say three-way, but it'll REALLY be a handicap match" which they just did. Yeesh.

 

Batista did another old-school heel move in the aisle after the match where a fan in a Cena shirt started taunting him. Batista faked jumping at him and the guy in the crowd immediately shut up and sat down, looking scared shitless. Good stuff.

And even though you could see the "Bret was faking his broken leg" thing all along, the execution of the angle last night was perfect. Great camera work, great payoff.

 

The Batista blood thing was pretty funny. It looked like the ref was all set to treat him with rubber gloves and a towel, and Batista gave a look like, "Fuck this, just let me bleed."

 

Yeah, if that wasn't a blade job then it was a tremendous bit of improv by Batista.

 

Tonight's the night, eh?

 

Unless you're just in a Rod Stewart kind of mood, next Sunday is the night.

 

Maybe he's hyped up for Destination X?

 

Eh, shows how little I pay attention anymore.
