2016 Pro Wrestling Thread

Shieeeet, you oughta see the pics redditors post in the r/WrestleWithThePlot sub .... not that I visit regularly or anything.

 

There's also this one from yesterday.

 

Was that the pickup line that landed Lana?

 

More like

Rusev walks up to Lana: Me. You. MACHKA made in heaven.

 

Yeah I had to go back and look at some of them. He's pretty funny actually.

 

Looks like Zack Ryder is destined for those three words that no athlete likes to hear.

Dr. James Andrews.

Sucks for him. Dude's kept on pushing no matter how many times WWE has buried him, and he and Mojo had just earned a title shot when Zack got hurt.

 

WWE introduces the United Kingdom championship, which will be up for grabs in a two-day tournament in January on the Network.

This, at least IMO, is the best looking of the new belts -- with SmackDown's women's title and tag titles second and third.

 

That makes, what, 10 championship belts floating around? Not counting NXT? We're getting close to championship overload.

 

I kind of wonder if that UK belt is just a way to get a foothold into that market and a British roster, and keep the belt and matches in the UK with minimal exposure on the main shows.

Oh, who am I kidding? In a couple of years, they'll probably have Mojo Rawley pinning Johnny Gargano for the strap at a house show in Dayton.

 

Universal, WWE, Intercontinental, U.S., Raw tag, SD tag, Raw women, SD women, cruiserweight.

I actually don't mind it. Would rather each show have its own titles.

I read somewhere earlier that that is the plan, to tap into the UK market and keep the title away from the main shows -- for now, anyway. Beyond that is anybody's guess.

 

So basically the old European Championship.

 

In two years, Roman will be the UK champ, which will be overlooked because he'll still be booked into the World/Universal title picture. Just a pretty prop for Roman to carry.
