2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

True. Didn't think about that part. Just heard he was making an appearance and wasn't sure what was going on. I hadn't heard anything where he got fired or anything (heck, he's the IC champ right now), so the fact he was on a TNA PPV made me raise my eyebrows.

 

But he didn't compete on the PPV, so it really isn't a big deal. And like Gehrig said, maybe it was part of the deal that allowed Flair to be on the Hall of Fame show.

 

One of the websites had it as exactly that. Christian's appearance was for Flair's appearance.

Kinda cool when you think about it. Too bad it wasn't last summer, otherwise, we could have had Punk bring the belt to TNA.

 

I doubt the WWE would have gone for that. In their eyes, Christian has always been more of a good hand, with his peak being as a transition champ. I doubt they would have let Punk go on TNA last summer with the belt, although it would have been insanely good for TNA.

 

Yeah, come to think of it, I'd doubt WWE would have wanted to give TNA the publicity. Still, it would have made the Punk quitting WWE storyline look even more incredible.

 

So ... Vince being back on TV has been pretty damn good to this point.

I'm just so fed up with the Johnny story line. Hopefully it ends tonight, but I won't hold my breath.

And now we've got a fatal four-way elimination match between Ziggler, Swagger, Christian and Khali ... Really? They're putting Khali in this match? He'll probably be the first out, or at least that's how I'd book it.

 

Did you not hear Teddy? They're all the former world champions at Raw. That's the hook.

 

I know he's a former World champ, but the dude can't wrestle anymore. Having him in action is a waste.

 

Oh for fuck's sake, they've got a countdown clock to the Vince/Johnny confrontation.

One three-hour show, and they're already imitating WCW.

 

Vader!!!

Let's hope he doesn't fall on his ass out of the ring this time.

 

Leon looked pretty good out there. Not bad for a 57-year-old.

 

Holy shit. That was a vicious splash from Vader.
