2019 Pro Wrestling thread

Richochet, Ali, Andrade AND Finn? Really, Baron is the only lemon in this match.

 

Which means he will win.

 

Never a big Ambrose guy but this is more interesting than anything on raw or smackdown this week

 

Dean Malenko has left the WWE.

Im no Lio Rush mark but this is just stupid, its not Texas high school football in 1979 Bobby Lashley can carry his own freaking bags

Remember thinking this when he told Sam Roberts he was going to be “locker room policeman” but this confirms for me, Mark Henry is nuts. His idea of locker room culture is 20 years out of date.

 

Revival’s plight falls into something Ive been thinking about this week, with the ratings as low as they are....... no body cares.

Revival Usos is 100% a 5 star match on a Takeover. Id be thoroughly entertained, probably blown away. But theres nothing about this feud, or esp Revivals gimmick/personality that make me give a damn.

I feel the same way about Styles and Rollins. I am stoked to watch that match on the ppv, its going to be awesome.... but neither guys “character” makes me care about the outcome beyond simply watching an awesome match.

Theres not much they can put on Raw that would change that and given my druthers Id just as soon fast forward to the match. Thats great for the athletics of it all but terrible for ratings and the business and I wonder if it reflects a bigger trend....

 

This is a huge problem with the E right now.
The in-ring talent is ridiculous. The problem though, is the personalities are just bland.

 

I’m kinda split on it. I get the hazing thing is way out of date and a lot of the E’s locker room stuff was just bullshit that no normal company would tolerate. I can see though, that etiquette should be if a veteran wrestler is taking the bumps, then the young guy should be driving them to the next town.

I remember reading years ago that when Kevin Nash first started, he was sitting in a chair in the locker room when Harley Race came in. Nash immediately got out of the chair and gave it to Race. Something like that is a nice sign of respect. But guys shouldn’t get heat if they don’t do it.

 

I feel some understand the business more than others.
