2010 Pro Wrestling Thread

I reserve the right to have an emotional investment in any character in any show I please. No matter how childish it seems, and no matter how much baby oil is involved.

 

Let's see.

RAW faces: Cena, Edge (at least, before the end of the show), John Morrison, R-Truth, Orton (still playing the tweener role?), Trips, Bourne, Mark Henry, MVP.

RAW heels: Jericho, Batista, Sheamus, The Miz, Cody Rhodes, DiBiase, Masters, Ziggler (??)

 

It's still real to me, dammit!

 

Does that mean next week's guest host, Dusty Baker, will have him wrestle 30 matches during the two-hour show?

 

Why even call it a Draft? I mean, shit, they should just call it the "Raw rebuilding".

Edge, Jericho, Morrison and Truth all move? In one night? There's the two main eventers from SD, one of the top midcarders and, quite possibly, the most over gimmick on the show.

Shit, why not just make it a straight up trade?

Michael Cole: "Tonight's RAW GM has announced that there's been an 12-man trade between the two shows. Raw gets Jericho, Edge, R-Truth, Morrison, MacIntyre, Kane, Ziggler, Rey Mysterio, Undertaker, Batsita and Michelle McCool. Smackdown gets Kozlov."

 

You can't have Kozlov. Maybe Hornswaggle?

 

Anyone check out Impact tonight? I missed parts of it, but wasn't real impressed with what I did see. Main event was Abyss vs. Flair; loser had to relinquish his Hall of Fame ring.
I know this is pretty obvious, but Flair should have retired for good a decade ago. I love Flair, but man, he's 61! I would have been fine with him coming out as Styles' manager/advisor and working the mike (which he's still great at) from time to time, but it's just painful to watch him wrestle now. He has this awesome "retirement" match against HBK two years ago at Wrestlemania and then comes back for another feud with Hogan!?

 

From what I understand, he had to come back for financial reasons.

 

Haha I wouldn't go that far...

 

After MacGruber's guest host spot, these reviews are shocking:

Yeah, sorry, not buying it. MacGruber was absolutely dreadful on RAW last week and even with the copious amounts of wrestlers in it, I'll pass.

 

Yeah, I had heard something about him going through some tough times recently. That's too bad To much limousine ridin' and jet flyin' I guess
