2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

Chris Jericho looks a lot smaller now than he was in 1999.

 

Oh, yay. A useless Divas match.

 

Ugh, lousy Divas match. I still say the Knockouts matches are better.

 

I'm hyped for SummerSlam, as it is usually when a new Cenation shirt debuts (along with Wrestlemania). Let's take a look at the shirts, going from my memory and a few web searches. I wonder what color we'll get next. Maybe yellow? A blue shirt? How about an orange/brown rust?

WM28: Green
SS '11: Rise
WM27: Red w/ blue accent
SS '10: Purple w/ yellow accent
WM26: Orange w/ blue accent
SS '09: Black w/ green/yellow
WM25: Black w/ red/white/blue

.... and so on and so forth. I'll admit, I bought the old school NES video shirt. That was his only cool shirt.

 

WWE Championship MitB match ... Cena, Kane, Jericho, and Miz bury Big Show under half a dozen ladders after Cena put Show through the Spanish Announce Table.

 

they copied that spot from a few years ago if I recall. Well, not the table bit, but I remember Show being buried under ladders.

 

A poster on Wrestle Forum chronicles the many face/heel turns of the Big Show ...

So, folks, this is why no one gives a shit about another Big Show heel turn.

Plus, this Bleacher Report article counts at least four major Big Show/Cena feuds.

Will The E wake up a realize we just don't care anyomre? Nah.

 

Cena wins. Yippee.

 

Me thinks that wasn't supposed to end that way...

 

I call botch there. I don't think he was meant to win so soon. It looks like the briefcase broke off the clasp. It's handle totally broke off.

 

Really? Does John Cena -- a 12-time world champion, a guy who main events when he's nowhere near a championship or mildly interesting feud -- really need to be the MitB holder?

Yes, but to justify this, he must lose.

Like I wrote before, he'll cash in on the 1,00th Raw, Punk gets jobbed, and all the kiddies go home happy while actual wrestling fans get shit on once again.

 

I really, really want to believe it was a botch, but someone in the back had an *incredibly* quick finger on the music button if it was. I mean like split-second fast.

I know people will inevitably moan about Cena winning, but that was a really enjoyable PPV from top to bottom. Except I took a break for Ryback and the Divas. Clean wins in both title matches, too.
