2016 Pro Wrestling Thread

Bringing the Demon out on Raw was a waste. I'm with Baron. That should've been saved for the PPV.

 

Who else thinks it's amazing they're promoting this idea that Stephanie invented women's wrestling and equality while that funk a dactyl basically just did a Nitro girls segment because someone thinks this mess will get Eva Marie over?

 

I wonder how much truth there is to the rumor that Triple H wanted to save the Demon for Wrestlemania, but Vince overruled him because he doesn't think Balor can get over as himself.

 

Been gone for a bit but hello again chaps.

First: I am probably in the minority, but I love what they're doing with Roman now. And Rusev is crushing his role once again.

Finn/Rollins is going to be a fng classic.

I get the feeling that Brock is going to lose on Sunday. I mean why waste Orton's big return after surgery, right?

When are we going to get tag team titles and a women's title on Smackdown?

If New Day wins on Sunday, I'm going to throw something, probably a tantrum.

Gallows/Anderson have been great with the Dr. bits.

I actually like what they're doing with Eva Marie. It's hilarious. That big buildup "She's stuck in traffic and won't be appearing."

Naomi's new entrance was actually pretty good IMO.

I about lost my shit when Shinsuke did the "got your nose" bit to Samoa Joe. They are building mega heat with that match and I can't wait for it.

Asuka/Bayley buildup has been good, but I'm wondering just who is playing the heel here. I thought it was Asuka at first but then Bayley went heelish almost on this past Wednesday's show.

I haven't watched the last 3 weeks of the Cruiserweight Classic. Guess I'm waiting for the semifinals.

Feel horrible for The Vaudevillains and Ascension that they get the short entrance while Breezeango get the full.

Ambrose/Ziggler buildup has been phenomenal.

They're wasting Bray Wyatt again ...

 

Maybe he'll leave it behind soon, and then in 10 years he'll resurrect it for a TNA angle.

 

Which is weird, because the way Balor made his debut by winning two matches in one night for the shot at the new title reminded me a lot of Jericho's rise to the undisputed champion. I haven't seen enough of Balor to know if he's as good on the mic as 1999/2000 Chris Jericho was, but they've certainly made him look good in the ring.

 

Getting to Jericho's level in 1999/2000 won't happen, and I'll say that about anyone. That man was a god on the mic back then.

 

He still is.

 

Sooo, Paige and Alberto Del Rio, whose real-life relationship has apparently been frowned upon by WWE higher-ups, are hit with 30-day wellness suspensions on the same day. Yeah, that doesn't sound suspicious or anything.

Wait del rio was suspended too?

Also RE: Balor....it seems ridiculous to save it for Mania when he painted for every NXT PPV (except one?) I could see the argument for saving it for Summerslam, or not doing it for the between PPVs like Backlash etc, but Summerslam 1000% he needs to be painted.

 

Jimmy, the news about Del Rio actually came earlier.

And RE: Balor, I believe the complaints were that they had him all 'Demoned' up on an episode of Raw instead of saving it for SummerSlam.

 

That's if TNA is around in 10 years.
