2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

I'm with that, but there's no way they'll let her be as she was in TNA.

 

The wrestling was fantastic, especially the Jericho-Ziggler-Miz match. And the tag match had its moments as well.

But the whole "let's devote the final 35 minutes to Brock-Trips-HBK" was ridiculous. I understand they're trying to drum up buys by any means necessary, but none of that convinced me to buy Sunday's show (if I was a paying customer, that is ...).

 

I got the feeling that somebody, somewhere, screwed something up for them to be as far under time as they were at the end. I was mainly listening to the show as background noise, only watched a few minutes here and there (which seems to be my viewing pattern since Raw went to three hours), so I don't know if there was a match that ended early or what. Maybe someone was hurt or no-showed, or a segment got skipped. It felt like they were 10-15 minutes ahead of where they should've been in the program.

 

Did they end on time for once...? Or did they just stretch it out earlier so that they would end 5 to 10 minutes over like they always do?

 

Anyone who thinks Lesnar is going over at SS, I know where you can buy some cheap swampland in Arizona.

 

I don't really understand why they brought Lesnar back just to put guys over.

 

Who honestly thinks Lesnar is going to win?

 

I don't think he will win but I think he should. I don't understand what purpose HHH winning would serve. At least if Lesnar won, you could use him somewhere else as a legitimate threat to win the title or whatever and put someone who needs the shine over against him at SS or WM or whatever.

 

I see a Sledgehammer in someone's future

 

I'm with ucacm: If all he's going to do is lose to folks who already are over, why bring him back? I mean, Cena didn't really need the win and HHH doesn't need this win -- especially since he's trying to cut back on his in-ring time and focus more on the behind-the-scenes stuff.

At the same time, though, it's not like Lesnar looked like a wuss or anything against Cena. He looked bad-ass in spots, and hopefully he'll look the same or better against Trips.

 

I wish you could bet on pro wrestling, because I'd also place money on Triple H. Lesnar has been built up so much as a beast that I can't see him winning. It wouldn't surprise me though if he lost in a flukey way, and then absolutely demolished Triple H after the match, forcing him off-screen for a few months and allowing Heyman a bigger role anyway.

 

I agree.

I only ask because they go to all this trouble to make it appear Lesnar is this indestructible monster, then 1-2-3 to Trips and he's nothing.

Why waste RAW time trying to get people to buy the PPV to see Lesnar-HHH when it's painfully clear who will have his hand raised?

Why waste Lesnar's time?
