2015 Pro Wrestling Thread

He was evidently at home the entire time. He wasn't answering his phone or returning texts.

 

Thank goodness. The last time that happened with a major star, they found a trail of bodies.

 

Hate to say it, but I think Tyson's injury may have been the best thing that's happened since winning the first Andre battle royal. He's had an incredible stretch, tonight included.

 

If Cesaro would do the UFO (Unidentified Flying Opponent) on RAW, the Internet would break.
Here's an example of the UFO done in a match between the Kings of Wrestling (Cesaro and Chris Hero) and World's Greatest Tag Team from ROH:

 

Well damn. I guess it would've been too easy to let Cody be Cody.

 

Of course it would have. Leave it to the E to soft-pedal what could have been a very memorable moment.

At least, I wish they would have let him come out as Cody this week, then renew the Stardust character next week.

 

Sounds like the seeds for one last return for the Big Red Machine.

 

Well, now we get the Kane face turn. Maybe it's his final one.

 

Based on Twitter I think I'm the only one underwhelmed by the Divas thing. What's with the teams? If all the girls who can actually work are on the same team, how are there going to be good matches? Why does Steph have to insert herself in the middle of it? I guess to legitimize it for people that don't watch NXT?

 

Yeah, not going to lie. A little bit let down by that NXT reveal but only because there were a thousand better ways to do it.
Still, Sasha Banks on the main roster. AND Becky Lynch? #Pumped.
Now just let's get Bayley up here and just have Becky vs. Charlotte vs. Sasha vs. Bayley at each PPV for the next year.

 

Agreed. I cannot stand when someone announces the surprise, instead of just letting the music hit and the reaction speak for itself. Evidenced by the recent surprise debuts of Owens and Zayn (even though Hart introduced him and he was in his hometown), a majority of the live crowd is smart enough to recognize who it is and pop accordingly.

 

I was going to ask this, as I usually FF through "Divas" segments. Has Steph been involved, like, at all, in any of these storylines so far? Also, isn't Steph a heel? Aren't the Bellas heels too?

I'd heard enough buzz to look forward to seeing the NXT women, but as soon as I saw Steph glom on to the angle, I hit FF again. I don't think there's a single other person who could get me to change the channel quicker.
