2020 Pro Wrestling Thread

Titus O'Neill punctuates that ... match ... with the greatest, most accurate piece of WWE commentary ever.

 

I was so praying for Bray to transform into his dad.

 

I can't believe I'm saying this, but if not for being forced to go without a crowd, WWE probably wouldn't have even thought a need to create the Boneyard and Funhouse matches, so there's something there.

 

Call me crazy (yeah, I know), but I thoroughly enjoyed that Firefly “match”. That was nuts.

Drew’s win was eh. He needed a crowd.

 

Yeah. That and Braun last night.

 

Damn. Only about 5 minutes in, and this Undertaker doc is fuckin' excellent.

 

The two Wrestlemania world championship matches, by the numbers:
• Title changes: 2
• Combined length: 7 minutes
• Combined number of moves performed, excluding basic punches: 6

 

Maybe the Firefly match will grow on me, but it was a little too nuts for my tastes.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Boneyard match, which was cinematic but felt more grounded. You could tell those guys had a personal grudge to settle. It was like the last scene of a movie. The gang of druids made me cringe a bit because it was over the top, but the rest of it really worked.
The Firefly match was just too weird. It was like Bray and Cena dropped acid before coming up with that. I applaud them for doing something different, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

 

Now, this Edge doc. Wow.

Even addressing that "another company within the industry" had reached out to him. Had to have been AEW.

 

Well done to all involved despite being no fans WrestleMania was great

 

The only response to all that, to quote mcbossman, such good shit.

they did the 2 cinema matches perfectly. Takers was serious. Brays was goofy. They were different enough to both be memorable and incredible in their own rights without taking any shine off each other. Thats gotta be harder than it looks. Well friggin done.

The matches in the ring were all rather forgettable. Id put Edges as best, followed by Rollins, followed probably by Flair-Ripley, then the ladder match.

the two title world matches were quite poor.

 

I get that Goldberg’s an attraction, but at some point, someone has to tell him to increase his moveset a little. Doing two moves over and over again is ridiculous. He’s had 15 years to come up with something else. At least Brock can mix it up a little in between Germans and F-5s.

Would learning a headlock, an armbar (!) and a bodyslam be so difficult?
