2011 Pro Wrestling Thread

I noticed that.

Thought it was pretty funny.

 

He stood there and smirked the whole time.

It was a heel-ish response. They aren't turning Daniel Bryan. He got the biggest pop of the night.

Somebody's got to be a top face on SmackDown other than Orton.

 

Oh surrrre, I miss a PPV because I was visiting some friends, and Bryan and Ryder win their respective belts. Good for them.

I agree that the MITB cash-in thing has gotten a bit old. What they need to do is have a MITB winner lose once in a while. But I didn't want Bryan to be the guy that lost because of his longtime rep as one of the best in the biz and because his style is so against what Vince always loves. It'll have to be a guy that's already established enough so they don't lose their heat (if a heel) or their popularity when they lose their cash-in.

And I hope they don't pull a "Show wasn't on his feet" BS because they've already screwed that up once when Del Rio cashed his in when Punk wasn't standing.

And the WWE has finally gotten their heads out of their asses and listened to their fans, i.e. Ryder. They've got to learn that what they want isn't always what their fans want. Listen to your customers.

 

The only thing different about Del Rio cashing in against Punk is that Punk knew what was going on. Show didn't have time to get up after the attack by Henry, and didn't know what was happening.

 

Who thought they would ever see this?

 

Still not as good as Punk's photo with the belt in the fridge ...

 

Wow, I saw both of them at a show in 2005...with about 250 other people. Congrats to the American Dragon!

 

That opening was pretty funny.

 

This is great.

 

This site also has live links to Raw and (I have to think) Smackdown. For those of us without cable at home [raises hand], this link is awesome. Seriously, again, great find, Gutter.

 

Though this bit of news is almost a month old, I thought some folks on this board might find it interesting that WWE hired Jonny Greco, the former video production director for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Lake Erie Monsters. I was always impressed with Greco's work, even if I didn't know his name or face. His videos were great. I would guess he'll be putting together TitanTron entrance videos and numerous skits:

Pretty sure we just had an Isaac Yankem reference by Cena.
