2020 Pro Wrestling Thread

In 2044:

John Cena Jr. : " If my Dad hadn't dumped your whiny slut of a Mom, nobody would have ever seen you."

Matteo Bella: "Your Dad was more afraid of my Mom than he was of Brock Lesnar. He could only look, and not touch."

 

"The" John Cena actually IS junior (Sr. was involved in some storylines with Edge and Orton), which actually makes that even funnier.

 

Yeah, I forgot about his Dad, but knowing the E, they would just pretend the father never existed.

 

Cena III buries the Bella kid with help from Monroe Sky, launching a reboot of the McMahon/Helmsley angle complete with rasslin wedding segments featuring Grandpa Cena Sr and George Mizanin

 

He'll go by the name JC3 as the former Derek Bateman stews in retirement.

 

The Network Chronicle on Kevin Owens is unsurprisingly outstanding. Its a shame its not his time to go over and Roman Reigns is going to eat him

 

The KO doc also had me thinkin about the festival of friendship. With all the industry talk about AEW’s “long term story telling” vs WWE’s “greatest roster in history” it makes me chuckle that Jericho’s last good long term story was in the E

 

I got a kick out of him going from "Kill Steen Kill" to Florida carpool dad.

 

To be fair, he hasn't really been in a position to do long-term stories since leaving WWE. That hasn't been his job.
The stuff he did in Japan against Kenny Omega seemed like a special appearance feud leading to a specific PPV. And then in AEW his job (as well as most of their established names like Cody and the Young Bucks) has been to create and build new stars to get the company to a good place. I think he's done that pretty well with the Inner Circle, Orange Cassidy and a couple of others he's worked with. The Orange Cassidy and current MJF feuds have been pretty fun and last a while.

 

I watched it too, today and really liked it. They could continue this storyline, but if. they have Roman win as we all expect, they need to do it in a way that makes KO still look strong.

 

you’re right of course but that doesnt fit into Bryan Alvarez’ quick hit tweets, All AEW is amazing long term, all wwe is seat of the pants cuz Vince changed his mind

 

The Raw TLC match was good, but I hate the worn out move where they can't unstrap the velcro belt from the hook over 5 seconds.

And just kill off the Money in the Bank already. Asuka never had to cash in her case, while the men's case was hot-shotted off Otis, only to be blown by Miz.
