2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

Like, perhaps, Solo taking out The Rock ahead of WM to appease the Tribal Chief, and Cody steps into that headline match?

 

Well, I know the Rock has been booed and all, but I don't think you can tease having him at wrestlemania this strongly and then pull him.

I still think that Rock wins at Wrestlemania but by the end of Monday Night Raw, someone else has the belt, and it certainly could be Solo, with Roman chasing. It would be one way to extend the Bloodline storyline. I would think they would want to carry at the Bloodline as long as possible, given it's the best long-term narrative the company probably has ever had, and freshening it up would be the smartest use of the Rock, even if he only wrestles a match or two.

 

Max Caster, who got sent to sensitivity training in the past for saying he wanted to rape Sasha Banks, rapped in jest about the allegations of Vince McMahon raping a woman. Yes, this is pro 'rasslin and some indie bingo hall, but not the time, Max.

 

Bron Breakker just suplexed Trick and Carmelo together and followed it up with a flip off the top rope.

Whatever happens with the main event, just gimme Bron vs. Gunther at Mania, OK?

Solo could side with Rock too since he’s all about the elders and the family. He’s the most loyal to the tribe. If they go Rock heel…..

I know Bloodline story’s jumped the shark since last summer for most people but I’m still into it. I really think they got somethin planned thats gonna suck us all back in

 

Some pointing out this is a Japanese saying and wondering if this is Okada, that WWE won the sweepstakes over AEW. Okada seems like too big a name for NXT, but Shinsuke did start down there during NXT's indyriffic days.

AEW got Ospreay, Ibushi and apparently Sasha/Mercedes, so I suppose WWE can get one of the big international free agents.

 

Another idea for Gunther: does Trick beat Dragunov, and Dragunov gets the promotion to renew that epic rivalry?

 

Damn. I really thought they were going to pull the trigger on Trick before they do the split with Carmelo.

Excellent match. Those two literally left their blood, sweat and tears in the ring.

And an amazing ending as Carmelo absolutely murders Trick's knee to dueling "Melo Sucks" and "Fuck you Melo" chants. Everybody could see it from a mile away, but some serious Ciampa/Gargano or Owens/Zayn vibes.

Now wondering who's next for Dragunov. Nobody I see that's believable that we have already gone through ... unless Okada is the one. Bron's going up, Carmelo is going up after the Trick feud, Corbin and Dijak have been done.

 

Fightful is saying that WWE sweetened the crowd noise for NXT whenever Rock highlights were seen or shown. I think I could tell the same when Ava was interviewed.

 

Speaking of Max Caster, his father died over the weekend. Had no idea his dad was a former NFL player, and a pretty decent one at that.

Richard Caster, a 3-time Pro Bowl tight end and wide receiver for the Jets, dies at 75

 

I swear, there is no one on this earth harder to please than a WWE smart mark.

 

To channel another legend, The Rock's movies have been the drizziling shits for a couple years now, culminating in Black Adam getting the reception of a wet fart and him having to go back to the Fast franchise with his tail between his legs. He's mired in a slump.
