2013 Pro Wrestling Thread

Hmm, Heyman said he had a use for Brad Maddox last week. Could Maddox come down and say he was the one who put Rock through a table and that the Shield didn't interfere, thus the match shouldn't have been restarted per Vince's stipulations?

I dunno. Just brainstorming in a brief lull at work.

 

I was thinking Maddox and his cameraman are the source for this video McMahon supposedly has.

 

Hmmm, I guess I'll have to watch when I get home.

 

John Cena is the new Scott Hall: he loves your finishing move and can't wait to kick out of it.

 

SuperCena admits he can't beat Punk or the Rock, but picks the winner of the WWE title rematch for Wrestlemania. So he's totally winning the title back.

 

I remember a year ago thinking that Cody Rhodes was finally on his way to becoming a star and working his way into the main event picture. Now, he's nothing but fodder for Super Cena. Sigh.

 

Ryback's nickname should be "The Placeholder." What the hell is the guy doing, other than random segments? He can't even get a good feud with Shield going without SuperCena being written in. So, an angle gets hot and The E books SuperCena to get involved somehow, is that how it works? He should be tagging with Hell No at some point then. Damn, this guy really is the new Hulk Hogan. Don't have a hot angle unless he can get a piece.

 

Is it just me or does it seem like Ryback is insanely over? If that's the case, don't you think he'd be prominently involved in something big? Why the hell didn't they have him get into some sort of program with Lesnar when Ryback was feuding with Punk? That would have been easy and a natural build toward a monster vs. monster match at Mania. I suppose they could still go that way but it made more sense to get it rolling back then.

 

Ryback is over with the crowd, but not on a consistent basis. You still get some Goldberg chants now and then.

Frankly, I don't think they know what to do with him. They probably didn't have much of a plan for him, then rushed him in the main event spot, and now they're lost.

 

The dance contest with Albert and Brodus was pretty damn funny -- especially when they panned to the back and showed Ron Simmons watching. And JBL: "I know that guy!"

 

Cole: "Thank goodness for whoever cued the music."

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. That was an utter mess.

The Big Show/ADR/Ricardo segment was pretty good though.

 

I can't believe they found a way to make the diva's match even more pointless.
