2013 Pro Wrestling Thread

Missed all but the last half hour of Raw. Don't think I missed much of anything.

 

Taped Raws are usually like that.

Matter of fact, that was the first time in about three or four years that I didn't watch any of it. Read what matches they had taped and none of them intrigued me in the least.

 

Dumbass fan in South Africa jumps in the ring, and RKOs Orton's balls:

Great ringside security there. The guy was in the ring, standing by himself, for a good 5 seconds it seemed before he did anything to Orton.

 

Now there's speculation it was all a work. The fan is apparently a local wrestler in South Africa.

That would explain why security didn't catch him at first I guess, becasue usually WWE security is really good at preventing that.

 

If it shows up on Raw in any form, it's a work.

 

Makes little sense as a work, though, unless they're trying to build an Orton/South African guy in a match the next time they're in that country.

Maybe the security knew who the guy was, and thought it was a work, even though it wasn't?

 

I can't imagine there'd be too much out of it even if it was a work. Have Orton squash him on a future Raw, then send him to NXT for training. Besides, if they wanted to build up a native for a big match in South Africa, Justin Gabriel is right there.

WWE Discussing a new Supershow idea.

I like this idea a lot!! Of course, as usual, I would change it up a bit.

Monday 8 PM – Raw
Have the Flagship show kick off the week. It’s only right.

Monday 9 PM – Smackdown
Second hour, second show.

Monday 10 PM – Main Event
If the 3rd show was named SuperStars, then fine, put it in the second hour. Since its named Main Event, then put this in the Main Event. Make it the Championship hour and feature the Champions of the WWE from 10 – 11.

Wednesday 8 PM – Main Event
Leave as is.

Friday 8 PM – Smackdown
Since I’d like Raw to start Monday nights, then have Smackdown start Friday nights.

Friday 9 PM – Raw
Since there isn’t a 3rd hour on Fridays, have Raw start and end the week.

 

WCW tried that idea by having a stupid countdown of the end of of Hour No. 1 and Hour No. 2. All that happened was the announcers changed and there was 9 p.m. fireworks right in the middle of a match.

And besides, with the end of the brand split, is anyone really going to care?
