2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

Daniel Bryan's reaction is great, too. I love how he's the only one who isn't totally weirded out by Kane, and just sits there with a straight face. Like a 6-foot-10 guy in wrestling tights and two masks sitting in a hotel conference room, telling this absurd and horrific life story is just the most normal thing in the world.

 

I cracked up when Kane said, "Oh yeah, I electrocuted a man's testicles," with such a straight face.

Only thing better would have been if he would have said he went to dentist school and tried to imitate a former co-worker.

 

Bryan is great, was awesome watching him lose his shit with the fans while he was being counted out against R Truth. He is great entertainment - in and out of the ring.

 

"What the hell is an anger management collage?"

 

"Remember, sharing is caring."

"This is a bad idea."

 

Holy crap. Just now noticed the guy in the front row who's antagonizing Bryan. That's freaking hilarious.

 

One more thought, on Rybacks match ... well, let's just say I haven't seen a match with that many botches since the real Goldberg laced up his boots.

 

That was awful. I cringed when Swagger fell on his head. Thought he might have broken his neck for a second, then maybe he was just concussed. I know he was selling toward the end of the match, but he looked a bit out of it after that.

 

Those lines would have been the piece de resistance of the whole thing. As it was, I laughed out loud when he talked about his inexplicable fascination (or whatever the word was) with Pete Rose.

 

Is it just me or has Kane lost a lot of the muscle and bulk that he used to have? I don't remember his name ever being mentioned as being suspended with drug issues. It's possible it's just age, but he is just a lot scrawnier than he used to be.

 

Taker has dropped a considerable amount of weight through the years as well, and Michaels slimmed down enough where I'm wondering whether that's why they stopped announcing his weight (I'd have been shocked if he were over 200 at the end). I do think a lot of it is age; less weight making it easier to move, etc.

Either that, or he's feeding his portions to Kurt Angle, who apparently was 249 on Impact last week and definitely was soft around the edges.

 

CM Punk wins the night for quoting The Wire right out of the gate.
