2017 Pro Wrestling Thread

And that guy probably got paid something like $50 for that match.

I get trying to do anything to entertain your fans, get noticed, and get a career break, but that ain't how to do it. Save something like that for Wrestlemania.

 

So, Asuka had to surrender the title with a "shoulder" injury.

Good way to protect her streak if it's a work, which I think it is because she answered questions after the match with an ESPN reporter if I read the interview correctly.

 

At least on the latest Masked Man or Jim Ross - I forget which one - they seemed to think it was a legit injury. Either way though, it's a good way to get her off NXT for a couple weeks / months, and then debut her on one of the main shows with her streak intact.

 

Wow. Wasn't expecting them to give one of the Hardys a singles shot this soon. Figured it would've been Jordan winning the battle royal, or one of the Miztourage so they could lay down to Mix next week.

 

John Cena brings out the best in everyone he cuts a promo with.

 

"Cheap ass corporate created Cena bootleg"

Cena's a savage. And he blasted Roman forgetting his lines. Working with him's a crucible.

 

And then they throw them into some half-ass tag match again. Should've at least had Cena AA Roman after the match, since Roman punched him last week.

 

Yeah that wasnt great. Against two guys that worked the damn battle royal!

They gotta write better material for Roman. Everything Cena said was basically true....everything Roman said was crap Ryback whines about that hasnt been believable in 4 years. Presumably Romans going over so he's going to need to find something to go at Cena for that resonates.

Two other things....crowd was SO dead for the bullet club tease in the battle royal and for the southpaw spot.... Kind of a reminder that most of the fans are compltely oblivious to the stuff the IWC goes gaga for

 

Not WWE, but down in Mexico last weekend, there was a rather controversial incident in the AAA lucha show. Sexy Star, best known up here for her work on Lucha Underground, went "shoot" on Rosemary, who has been in TNA/GFW, during a women's four-way match and injured her arm or shoulder. Star and another woman in the match actually legit brawled with each other, and Star took it out on Rosemary, who had nothing to do with the earlier dispute. Lots of people in the industry are expressing outrage at the intentional injuring of a wrestler in a match.

Sexy Star Pissed Off The Entire Wrestling World This Weekend

 

I just saw a commercial for a Camry. They used Cena's music throughout the entire commercial.

I nearly found myself chanting "John Cena succcccks" the entire commercial.

 

Wow. ... just wow.
