2014 Pro Wrestling Thread

That result wasn't so familiar.

 

And we have a new Divas champion. At 21, is Paige the youngest ever in WWFE history to win any sort of title? I can't think of anyone else.

 

Well, I don't think anyone saw this coming.

 

Kenny (Dykstra) was 1/5th of the tag team champions with the rest of the Spirit Squad a month past his 20th birthday. That's the only champion in the age ballpark I can think of, and certainly none in the singles ranks. Lesnar remains the youngest top champion at 25.

 

I kinda did, and so did others. Because she beat the entire division (kinda) last night, the only thing left was to wrestle someone outside WWE, namely NXT. Sara Del Ray isn't coming up, Bayley isn't ready and Emma and Summer Rae are already up, so that leaves Paige.

Be curious to see how they book her.

 

Paul Heyman is a god. Not the God. A god.

 

And our new Paul Heyman guy ... Cesaro!
Weird that Heyman will be the mouthpiece for both one of the company's biggest heels, and someone you figure will be one of the top faces for the foreseeable future. Has anyone, and not talking about someone in a tweener role, ever played both sides of the fence like that?

Also, if you haven't heard it yet, Cesaro was on Grantland's Cheap Heat podcast last week and was a really great interview. One thing he talked about that was interesting was how he geared his workouts more toward practical strength than weightlifting (which shows in his moveset), and how he'd probably never be able to swing stubby guys like Mark Henry or Big Show.

 

I was referring to Heyman and Cesaro.

I wonder how they'll book Cesaro now. Just when he seems ripe for the babyface run ....

 

For a couple of months, Miss Elizabeth.

 

Unless this sets up some sort of nefarious turn that sets up Brock-Cesaro (which would be a hell of a match), I'm a little bummed because it clearly means Cesaro is staying heel (or switching back after a night of being a face).

 

How could I forget Kenny Dykstra?

Also, I thought Orton was 23? Or was Lesnar 23?

 

ah. I'm at work so I didn't hear about the Cesaro thing till a couple minutes ago
