2019 Pro Wrestling thread

Damn. Even WWE's MLK tribute is awe-inspiring.

 

Graves after Hawkins, as ref, counts the pin on the Revival for Roode/Gable.

“Someone get on the phone and call New York!”

 

EDGEHEADS REUNITE!!!

I'm surprised they remembered where the button was to play Ryder's music.

 

I think many of us understand the business, and would disagree with this tweet, right?

 

Considering he is a Guerrero by marriage, I think he should do well on the cruiserweight show. I'll be curious to see how it goes.

 

Its also not the same business it was in the 70s and 80s.

Weve been told for 5 years to be patient with Lesnar because the rub someone gets from finallybeating him will mint a career. Stopped being true around Mania 33 I think. Well past the sell by date here in 2019

 

The "legacy" is fast becoming the thought when he shows up that, "Oh yeah, there's something called the Universal Championship that's supposedly the main belt on Raw, isn't it?"
The Universal Championship has almost as much relevance now as the European Championship did in 2002.

 

This.

And this.

The other difference is that Bruno and Hogan were regular presences. They rarely wrestled on TV, but they were still there for promos and angles. They may have taken a week or two off to give their faces a rest and give others the time to breathe, but you knew they were around.

Brock disappears for a month at a time, then Heyman shows up one week, then they disappear for another couple of weeks. It’s boring as hell, despite Heyman’s excellence.

Secondly, as already noted, it’s a different era. There’s so much out there now, both in wrestling and in other entertainment options. Patience is much thinner now for dull options.

 

This is weird, but I’m more excited for all four major title matches (Finn/Lesnar, AJ/DB, Man/Asuska, Ronda/Sasha) than for either Royal Rumble match.

Also Mr McMahon is just gold. RAWs segment with brock braun and finn and tonights with AJ and DB..... the good shit. And he’s like leaning in to his beef loving underdog hating internet persona in a way sports entertains me greatly. I mean the look on Vinces face while Bryan was ranting and raving......

 

I thought Daniel Bryan was supposed to be a heel.

 

Brother!
