2011 Pro Wrestling Thread

It's file art from 2 years ago. R-Truth was barely even there to conspire against. Little Jimmy was just an angry mercenary for a certain fellow poster, trying to show the world that holding on for exactly 8 seconds is cause to celebrate, not an act that brings shame.

 

I see they're pimping Monday as another "super show." Why not just get it over with and end the split now? Unify the top belts (and the women's titles, too) and bring all four of the smaller belts under one "brand."

This whole "super show" thing is getting old, and it's just the third one.

 

Triple H said they are, just not in so many words. He said that starting last week and "for the forseeable future", both brands would be on Raw. Going forward, they're using Raw Supershow as the name of the show. Not sure if they're doing the same with Smackdown, but it's believed they want to do Tuesday live shows, and if they do, they'll probably go that route as well.

 

They called last Tuesday's SmackDown a "super show."

 

And the big problem with that is you'll have the same wrestlers on both shows, week after week. It'll get stale, and the mid-card guys will get shut out when all you have is main event guys.

I'm not crazy about ending the brand split. Rather, I'd just like to see it as a fully defined split where they never get on the other show. Raw guys on Raw. Smackdown guys on Smackdown. Have the draft every year to shuffle things, and have the Raw vs. Smackdown PPV. But that's it.

 

Bump! Nice opening segment between Triple H and Nash, although Punk kind of got relegated to the background for a bit.

 

Natalya Neidhart....yummy.

 

One thing I don't get. If Punk was so determined to kick Nash's ass, why wouldn't he have? Trips was gone, Nash was just sitting there. Seems off, no?

 

They've talked about it and now it comes next year. The WWE Channel.

I'm guessing cable and satellite providers will respond to that quicker than they did with the Longhorn Channel.

 

Yeah, I kinda thought the moment could have used a GTS right there. Although I did find it funny that Punk threw out a "Good luck in your future endeavors" line to Nash as he walked away.

Not a bad Raw, but I could have called the ending a mile away. And why is Teddy Long making matches on there? The anonymous GM has now been relegated to the No. 4 matchmaker? (after Trips, Teddy and Miz?)

 

WWWYI!
