2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

I'm not against bringing Vince back.

Especially if it means he takes time away from Tensai.

 

I thought Tensai couldn't speak any English?

 

They never even tried implying that he couldn't speak English, and have even said he's a returning WWE star.

 

Raw was really a nothing show tonight. Honestly, the best part from what I saw while flipping between that and Devils/Kings was seeing Charles Robinson's face as Cena slapped Cole's chest. Robinson looked like he was cracking up.

 

Does anybody else think that was them writing Cole off the show and that JR might be back next week? Seemed like a heck of a burial for Cole.

 

Yeah, seems pretty obvious.

That, and it pretty much came out of nowhere that Cole returned to his heel persona. He's been just a broadcaster for over a year now, and all of a sudden tonight, he brings back his WM win and starts acting all heelish? For what?

 

I thought that's how John Morrison died?

 

I could've swore they made it like Albert couldn't talk English as the Tensai character. All the promos I remember, he was speaking Japanese.

The look on Robinson's face was priceless. I don't know if he was reacting to the pop of the slap, but that was damn funny.

Other than that, the show sucked. Cena got to be Super Cena again, heel Cole came back (yawn) and A.J. was smokin' hot. That's about it.

 

Was flipping channels over the weekend and saw a well-worked match between Kane and Punk. Good bumps, good selling and nice run-in by Bryan.

 

The past two weeks of Raw have been two of the worst weeks I can remember any time recently. Last week was all Big Show all the time, this week was all Cole all the time. Neither move the needle at all. Sad part is, there were a couple of good matches last night (Kane vs. Punk and Sheamus vs. Ziggler) that got buried beneath that crap. Even Sin Cara was entertaining but the focus of the show was all garbage.

 

Maybe I missed it, but they haven't had any Divas matches on the last couple of weeks, correct?

 

Nope, no Divas matches. Interesting given what their rating was last week. Usually they'll throw some divas out there to try and get guys to tune in.
