2021 Pro Wrestling Thread

With Alexa and (even more so) Bray Wyatt, it just feels like WWE has waited too long to pull the trigger on a meaningful push for either one of them, and as a result, they're both stagnant and in danger of veering into WrestleCrap, if they haven't already. To me, Wyatt should be in the Undertaker category of "special attraction" in some ways. When a babyface is making his way up the card, that's when Wyatt should be attacking him, for the babyface to eventually prevail down the road. Otherwise, he should be kept strong, and only beating the shit out of jobbers / not losing, and not bothering with the title chase. As a character, he doesn't care about titles, which is pretty valuable from a booking standpoint. (It's also silly that they have him "drafted" to Raw, but the ship has seemingly sailed on stuff like that anyway.)

 

I know she had some physicality last night, but I wonder if Alexa has had more concussion problems, and that's why she hasn't really done anything beyond the funhouse crap.

 

Dark Side on Dynamite Kid -- another tough story.

Wild that Mick (Jack) Foley's second career match saw him job out to the Bulldogs and get his jaw shattered by Dynamite.

 

Watching the Kofi-MVP segment, I can’t help but wonder if we can get a Kofi-Lashley title match down the line. Perhaps a Kofi heel turn, too, since it’s not like the New Day is the New Day. Would allow Xavier to make his first singles run in forever. Kofi vs. Xavier.

All of this might never happen. Just thinking out loud.

 

one idea I saw bandied about that I really liked was Kofi winning MITB, cashing in on Lesnar after he returns and beats Lashley and getting revenge with a technically “shorter” win than Lesanrs Smackdown squash

 

Watched the Dark Side episode on the Dynamite Kid. Holy shit. I knew some of the stories, but that was something.

Jacques Rougeau talking about Dino Bravo and the Mafia is incredible.

 

AEW GOT BROCK!!!!!




I'm sure Arn is very proud of his son, Brock Anderson, for debuting next week.

 

Eleven years later, this guy is one of WWE's best on the mic.

 

Back in the New Day’s early years, I always appreciated Xavier’s distressed screams in the ring. I can’t remember if they were heel or face or both when he did it, but it always made me laugh.

 

I remember back when the Network did the behind the scenes series on the Performance Center and NXT, some of the brass were talking about guys they wanted to keep and guys that they were thinking of future endeavoring.

Woods’ name came up, a few of the brass were like, “he’s too small, and won’t amount to anything,” and Triple H talked about how Woods was well spoken, would be a role model for others, and could be a guy that could represent the company really well for many years. Needless to say, they kept him.

 

It was an E:60 piece. Mainly focused on Woods, Breeze and Adam Rose.

Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I still remember this AP story from when the PC opened, featuring Woods and Graves.

New training center cultivating WWE's next crop

 

Yeah, I mixed that up with the series they did on the network.

Hard to believe the PC has been around for eight years. Time flies.
