2019 Pro Wrestling thread

It also used to be common for wrestling fans to chant the F-word at gay-portraying wrestlers. It used to be common for African-American wrestlers to portray that they had hard heads, for some reason. It used to be common that women wrestlers were portrayed as eye-candy.

Thankfully, for the most part, and after some kicking and screaming, wrestling had gotten away from that because it has evolved. Chair shots to the head are another thing to become passé.

 

I always thought that was the one huge problem with that lawsuit. Kyros just allowed anyone to join it without questioning where they had worked and for how long. There were some guys who had worked years in the WWF who probably had a legitimate complaint. Then there were a lot of guys, like you said, who worked 20 years all over the place, but claimed they were concussed because they worked one WWF TV taping.

 

It wouldn’t be surprised me if they got a letter/email saying “if you took a chair shot at a WWE event between the years of 19XX and 20XX, you may be entitled to financial compensation”

 

That was fuckin' insane. And a "shit" from Corey Graves on live TV.

 

Although they could've kept up the illusion by keeping the video boards off, as if the circuitry had been destroyed.

 

That's something fresh. Becky and Seth vs. the Kanellises.

 

Followed by one of the most painfully awkward and bizarre finishes and angles in recent memory.

 

When did the 2 out of 3 falls stipulation become the hot new thing in the WWE? This is, like, the 10th one in the past month. Seems like every show has at least one now, and this AJ-Ricochet match apparently will be an unofficial one.

At least mix it up. Have a 2 out of 3 falls triple threat or fatal four-way match where the first person to score two falls wins and the guys who lose two get eliminated.

 

Because Vince has made some sort of ridiculous edict (yeah, I know) that there will no longer be any wrestling during commercial breaks.

 

So maybe plot the show that you don't start a match 60 seconds before a commercial break is due up?

 

I guess those two were pretty good in TNA once upon a time, but to think of the talent thats not on television and we get this weird 10 minutes where someone we havent seen in 10 months is hooting and hollering about not being a man? What?

Ditto the Street Profits.

 

And maybe stick to one storyline per segment?

Cornette (yeah, I know) had a good point about this. They’re supposed to try to get us interested in what they are showing. Instead, they were showing an entrance, then going to commercial, then coming back, showing highlights of what happened earlier and/or a video of some other storyline, then showing the opponent’s entrance, then wrestling a couple of minutes, one guy or gal does a dive, then go to commercial again.

Meanwhile, we’ve lost all interest because we don’t know why the two guys or gals are fighting each other.
