2011 Pro Wrestling Thread

Thanks. I was too tired to bother reading through the weekly title changes of the late 90s-early 00s.

 

Wow, that guy is good. Which means the WWE will tone down his style to the point where he's useless.

He and Mysterio could have a hell of a match, if the WWE allows them.

 

I like a good portion of it, but a lot of it I can't see as applicable to WWE talent. You know, like the frankensteiner-into-armbar moves against a bigger guy like Kane. My other thought was, wow, how the hell does the guy stay healthy?

Still, even a quarter of what he's doing in that clip package would be highly entertaining.

 

I was wondering if health insurance costs more for that guy than it does for everyone else.

 

How long before A) Mistico and Rey Mysterio win the tag straps and B) Mistico turns on Rey Rey?

 

The move at the 1:02 mark was fricken incredible. Someone used to do it in TNA, but from the standing position, and it was fricken incerdible then, this was coming off the ropes.

 

If you're referring to that flipping piledriver, that would have been Petey Williams and his Canadian Destroyer.

 

Thanks baron. That was it. Always struck me as a very dangerous move but sweet to watch. And this one was fantastic.

 

Forget Mysterio. Watching that highlight reel, I'm drooling at the thought of a Mistico-Morrison feud.
Give those guys 15 minutes at a PPV -- hell, put them in a MITB match -- and I think you'd see more "holy shit" moments than most guys have in a career.

 

Agreed. It would also allow Morrison to play as the "heavy" in the match and probably unveil some cool stuff. Jericho had a bunch of stuff, like repeating powerbombs, that he could only use with smaller guys, so you didn't see much of it in the WWE.

 

Always loved Jericho's repeating powerbomb. I remember it made him an awesome character in the old N64 game "WCW Revenge." He had that move AND the old "cocky pin," where he'd stand on the guys chest and flex while the ref gave a modest 1 or 2 count.
I miss the cocky pin.

 

He still does it on WWE SD vs. Raw.
