2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

If you'd have asked me 22 years ago if Shane Douglas' tag team partner in the Dynamic Dudes would main event a WWF(E) PPV, I'd have thought you were nuts.

 

"One of the greatest tag teams of all-time, the Dynamic Dudes!"

HUH?

 

Probably won't want to use these clips in the next anti-bullying campaign.

 

Whoever had Big Show interfering on Laurinatis' behalf to gain favor with him wins.

 

That was so predictable.

 

Eh, Show was due for a heel turn anyways. He's only turned about 50 times already in his career.

 

Kudos to Figure Four Weekly for nailing it on the head....

*John Cena vs. John Laurinaitis, no DQ, no count out, if Laurinaitis loses, he gets fired. The expectation is that Laurinaitis wins, and it's just a question as to whether it's Big Show or Brock Lesnar who interferes, or some sort of other screw job. Everything is set up for it being Show, but it's so obvious in a company built on wanting to surprise people at all times. The one thing is Cena will probably get fewer boos than at any PPV match in a long time.

 

Fixed.

 

I'm also thinking celebrity athletes at wrestlers. We'll team them up with actual wrestlers, of course, and they can carry the bulk of a star-studded PPV tag match. At first, I was going for basketball players, but I think hockey players would be a better draw.

Maybe we can get a football player, put a tag belt on him ... here's the gimmick ... he never gets tagged into a match! We can't have him violating his NFL contract.

By the way, I love the idea of sponsoring a monster truck. Just imagine "Ryback" painted onto the side of an AMC Gremlin with monter truck tires.

I'm tellin' ya, they should hire me yesterday.

 

Why stop there? Let's just have a late-night TV host get into the ring? Think of the workrate!

And then, we can have a wrestler's mom win the tag belts! And at the end of the run, we can put her on a pole! Think of ratings!

 

It's probably been said here, and many other places, but the most annoying thing about the endless Cena-Laurinaitis gulping is the way it has been burying some fantastic championship matches.
The last few PPVs have had great matchups for the belt with guys who can work. They've even been given 20-30 minutes to put on a great match. By most accounts, it's been the best thing on the card. Last night was the latest example.
And they're treated like an afterthought so we can watch John Laurinaitis get in the ring.
I'm going to go scream now.

 

Yeah, both title matches and even the Rhodes-Christian match were light years better than what was in the main event. Just sad.
