2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

I don't know. I dig crazy AJ more and more each week. She's growing on me.

 

Crazy AJ is awesome, and she'd be example No. 1 for me for the argument that if you give the divas TV time, they can develop. To me, it's a numbers game - Out of four to six hours of weekly TV, the divas get maybe 10 minutes. Of course none of them are going to develop; AJ only managed to become compelling because Daniel Bryan surprisingly got hot, and then she's been able to come along for the ride.

If I'm playing fantasy booker, you either have them serve just as valets and accessory characters in storylines, or you give them 25 percent of the available time. Shit or get off the pot.

 

So, whose career will get the most mileage out of the Wrestlemania Brogue Kick of Doom? DB or AJ?

 

AJ obviously is benefiting from the short term run. If you, at the halfway point of the year, had to name a Performer of the Year, she has to be at or near the top. The question is how will she follow up once the Bryan/Punk/Kane angle comes to a conclusion, and this is where WWE's writers have to be smart. She's well over, has a sex appeal that is completely different from most of the other Divas and has the potential to develop something of a crossover following. Continue to build her up and at the least, you've got a breakout star that can be an intriguing manager/valet (while also opening the door to perhaps revive the manager angle). The fear, of course, is that the E turns her into a marginal character or overkills her crazy. She can be the biggest Diva since Trish, but it comes down to whether Vince, Trips, Dunn and Steph grant her that.

 

DDP is allegedly the legend on Raw Monday night. Should be fun.

 

Thanks for spoiling the surprise ...

 

Give yourself a self high five for that one.

 

I almost bought his yoga video. I figure that if my back is only a portion as screwed up as his, I might be able to do some of the stuff and drop some pounds.

Alas, I am contractually obligated to a gym for the next six months. Maybe I'll revisit the notion then.

 

Will Randy Orton return early from suspension and beat up DDP for stealing his finisher?
Or maybe we'll just get a bunch of backstage vignettes of DDP watching Raw on a TV while hiding behind some potted plants.

 

Or maybe he'll job to a returning Michelle McCool. Hey, at least she has some wrestling experience.

 

DDP-Trish yoga feud?

 

Bring back Kevin Nash and do a DDP-Vinnie Vegas reunion. If you could get Scott Hall to show up and not be comatose, you could throw in the Diamond Studd as well.
