2019 Pro Wrestling thread

And we have a last second contender for worst PPV of the year. There has been some absolute atrociousness tonight.

 

That was a very very mediocre ppv. We really need the Corbin/Reigns and Rusev feuds to continue into 2020? We do not.

It was also a pretty great main event. The finish was meh but the action in the middle was really good

 

I think Lashley botched the end by resting the table along the turnbuckle in the wrong direction (extended legs down), and that's why it didn't break.

 

Supposedly, Kairi got hurt during it, so that kinda messed things up. Supposedly, it was when she did the Insane Elbow on the table that didn’t break.

Rusev’s feud will end when he finds another woman to make Lana jealous, and then we get mixed tag matches. We all know this will happen.

Corbin just bores the hell out of me. In the old days, they would have a manager for him. He just speaks in such a monotone. Also, that brawl at the end sucked. It took away from the women, and why is everyone helping Roman now after not helping him during the match. Would have been better as a finish to Raw tonight. Let the angle, for whatever it is, breathe a little.

 

There's a big debate on Twitter about just when it happened. Some thing it was when Charlotte did a reverse slam to her against one of the guard rails along the ramp. Her head looked like it bounced off the exposed concrete there. Some people think it was the spear she took outside the ring, but I think she had it when that happened. I haven't seen the match, just the short clips of a few spots where people think she got hurt, so I'm not sure the sequence even. But it's clear she was fucked up and couldn't work, and WWE should have either ended the match or found a way to get her out of it and have someone else come from the back and replace her. There's no way she should have continued. Apparently, she almost retired in Japan because of concussions. I'm wondering if this will be the final straw for her.

 

I like Corbin the guy. He’s decent in the ring, he’s decent promo, he gets real heel heat. He’s borderline got Roman over as a face because no one will ever ironic-pop for him.

But good Lord does he make for boring ppvs. I mean the entire run with Seth, then the mixed with Becky and Lacey Evans, was shite. Last night’s match was shite and thank god it didn’t close the show.

 

Agree 100 percent. He's a phenomenal heel, as long as he doesn't ever have to get in the ring.
He's a lot like The Miz in that regard. Great on the mic and he's got some charisma, but they're frustratingly limited in the ring.

 

Man, I think the Miz is a thousand times better than Corbin. The Miz has been a credible world champion or contender at various points. Baron Corbin has been the new Test - a guy pushed hard by the office multiple times, but he's never gotten over.

 

I actually kinda like Corbin in the ring. He has some good moves and athleticism. I enjoyed his series with Gable.

 

Playing the role of Jake Roberts this evening will be Andrade.

 

The other thing that’s similar about Corbin and Miz is that neither is ever gonna win. And that ruins the matches. He’s not going over on Reigns. Not on this planet, so when he does it just signals we gotta watch this again.

I know it sounds stupid that I’m saying I’m pissed he won bc I want this feud over at the same time I’m saying he’s not ever a threat to win but......

 

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love Miz. I wish he'd get another world championship run, if for no other reason than he no longer would have to brag about his one title reign from almost 10 years ago now. But we're not getting a series of 5-star matches out of the man.
