2015 Pro Wrestling Thread

I know they don't have a lot of time for build, but I'm looking forward to the Chamber.

The tag match should be interesting, at the very least, but I wonder if it'll be like the traditional Chamber match with two teams starting in the and the other four in the pods -- or if they'll limit the number of teams.

The IC title match, IIRC, will also be in the Chamber, so I'm guessing the world title match won't be.

 

Well, the Rusev-Lana split is complete. Dolph Ziggler will be renaming the Fame-asser to "Sloppy Seconds."

 

Kevin Owens kills John Cena. Awesome.

 

Like I told @Tommy_Dreamer, I like this side of Cena -- even if he went all Super Cena on Rusev for the millionth time. He's going to help make Steen into a star, even though Steen is perfectly capable of making himself into one.

 

Cena and Owens was great, his promo about being around longer than Cena plays perfectly to the half of the crowd that hates Cena anyway. Really really good stuff.

 

Kevin Owens.
Kevin motherf**king Owens.
Amazing. Just amazing.

 

Yeah, I loved that response when Cena was trying to call him a young man. The only thing different that would have been better would have been if, instead of him saying he hadn't been given a break, that he'd say that he wasn't willing to kiss anyone's ass.

 

Can I watch last night's RAW on the Network today? How much lag is there? And, if not there, where can I watch last night's show?

 

Hulu or the replays on USA or Universal HD are the best bets on Saturday nights, the Network lag for RAWs is months long. I'm not sure how the cable providers' OnDemand content with RAW works. The one I have isn't good.

The more I think about it, the more encouraging is it that they're building these older NXT guys to the moon. Bringing Owens/Steen in at 31 and not having him start at the mid card or bottom the way their true young stars d0 is such a great sign for what they might do with Balor, Itami and maybe even Samoa Joe if he signs.

 

Loved the Owens bit, and pretty much have a mancrush on Dean Ambrose and love everything he does, even if he always loses.

Hopefully Neville brings out more of Bo Dallas than we've seen so far. I'm all for it as long as it elevates both guys, but I'm a little disappointed that Neville goes from basically beating Cena to putting over Barrett and Dallas. Their promo segment was pretty solid, though.

 

Thanks. I found the clip of the Owens-Cena segment. That was pretty cool. Liked that a lot.

I haven't seen much of Owens other than the NXT match in which he won the title, but man, he just didn't have the look of a heel during the Cena thing. Hard to explain. He just didn't feel like a bad guy to me. It was probably just me, though.

 

Prior to Raw, I had a feeling Owens was going to come out to face off with Cena, figuring they wanted to build up Wednesday's live NXT show on the Network.

But didn't think they would build Owens up as strong as they did. Wow. That couldn't have gone any better.
