2013 Pro Wrestling Thread

I expected the Shield to run out and take out Joe Flacco. That or for a bell to chime and the Undertaker to appear at midfield.

 

Now that would have been pretty cool.

Jim Nantz: Good God almighty! There's three guys on the field stomping on Joe Flacco. And here comes Ray Lewis! Ray Lewis is going to make the save! But what the? The lights went out again!

Gong.

Phil Simms: Who's that choking Ray Lewis? It's some guy dressed for Halloween!


*Also supposedly, when Brian Pillman was starting his loose cannon gimmick, he considered running on the field during the Super Bowl and chaining himself to a goalpost in order to get attention.

 

I would have welcomed that.lol

 

Bet the WWE incorporates a blackout tonight.

 

The Shield was actually my first thought last night, probably because I was watching the game with my PPV friends. Would be surprised if The E lets tonight wrap up without a blackout.

 

Thank God I wasn't the only person who thought of this. People made Bane jokes throughout Twitter, but I was waiting for the lights to return to see The Shield laying Ray Lewis out with a triple powerbomb.

 

Bruno is the new inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame.

I cannot believe it.

 

When Bret Hart returned to WWE a couple of years back after 13 years, he joked that hell had frozen over.

Now, it really has. Bruno's induction truly shows the meaning of the term, "Never say never." All those years of him pretty much hating Vince, and refusing to have anything to do with the product. I hope they let him step in the ring again just to hear the fans cheer him.

They had a short story on his induction, and they'll have a longer interview on WWE.com later in the week. Apparently, Trips really convinced him to accept the honor. And surprisingly, Bruno even admitted he started watching the WWE again.

I've never realized how much Sammartino looks like Triple H.

 

This is truly a sign that HHH is more in power than at anytime in the past when it comes to running the day-to-day stuff. There's no way on God's green Earth Bruno would've joined the Hall of Fame had Vince still been running things or if Vince himself had asked. HHH asked Bruno last year - making it clear he respected Bruno's legacy and what he did - and Bruno said No then, but he made it clear that his beef wasn't with HHH, it was with Vince.
I think this shows that Vince may still be in charge, but HHH is definitely moving up in the world. And as the good Baron said, I think Hell truly has frozen over.

 

You know, watching Brock Lesnar since his return to WWE, I really don't think he gives a shit whether he hurts somebody or not. He really winged that chair at Miz and caught him flush with it, and was awfully close to planting his face into the hard edge of the couch on the F5. If it's just his character, he's doing a great job of selling it.

Also, that's twice the Miz TV couch has been expelled from the ring. Are they trying to make it the new Spanish Announce Table?

 

The way Miz reacted to being hit by the chair, it's all part of the act.

And it's pretty badass.
