2014 Pro Wrestling Thread

Speaking of keeping wrestlers humble, Paige just lost, in England, to Alicia Fox.

Weird match. Paige started off strong, then Alicia took over and Paige didn't get much of a comeback, one countermove, really. Alicia threw her horizontally in the corner through the buckles, then dragged her back and pinned her.

Then afterward, she mugged the ref, climbed out, grabbed Lawler's crown, climbed on the ring barrier, walked it like a tightrope, put on the crown, then grabbed some guy's soda from the front row and dumped it on her head.

Very weird.

 

They're apparently grooming her to be the next psycho Diva, and I'm actually looking forward to seeing what she can do.

 

I loved the crowd's reaction to Adam Rose. Not expecting American crowds to buy into him, but loved the UK fans.

 

Rose might be a lot more popular if the WWE hadn't blown it with the initial song he was using.

Although this one isn't bad. The original was so much better.

 

Yeah well they've bloated the market. It can't hold to three three-hour shows much longer. Good quality two hour ones were great ratings getters.

 

They have one 3-hour show. outside of PPVs

Vince seem to really like Reigns, Bray and Bad News Barrett.

 

So, Goldberg was on The Ross Report this week and said he's in-shape and wants to do one more WWE run - He wants his 7-year-old to see him in-ring action, since he was too young / not born the first time around. That could be really interesting if done well. Ross brought up Mania 31 as a possible target, and Goldberg didn't reject it.

 

Still in disbelief that A) The Best of Goldberg collection spanned more than 1 disc, and B) it was the WWE's best selling title for a while.

 

I think it's the best seller over the past 12 months by something like 300k units or something. His initial WCW run was a hell of a thing.

 

I still remember his debut match on Nitro against Hugh Morrus. Everyone thought he was a jobber because he had no entrance and nobody had heard of him before. He gets in some offense and won, and everyone was surprised.

 

Hell the first time he appeared on TV was when Piper was "boxing" people and Goldberg was one of the last guys out for him to "beat." I even think Piper gave him a nod because he knew what was coming.
