Professional wrestling thread

Yes. I thought I put that in there...

 

I can certainly live with that scenario. But it's got to be an extended program, extend it to Survivor Series, at least. There is no rule saying both belts have to be defended at every PPV. Build this program up and it can be a good one. WWE needs to do this. They can't just expect because it's Trips, everyone is going to want to see another Orton, HHH feud. Make it interesting. Have stuff happen outside of the ring, outside of the arena. Remember when Edge and Cena had their brawl on the boardwalk and Edge ended up in the drink? They need to build up the feud to that level and maybe turn it into the next Cena vs. Edge.

 

Great American Bash is done, and the big news is the new Cruiserweight champion ... Hornswaggle. You know, Finlay's midget? He beat Jamie Noble in a six-way match with a splash off the top rope after a Chavo superplex. They also announced HHH's return at Summerslam, and Cena and Khali defended their world titles. And Orton beat Dusty. Pretty blah card, sounds like.

 

The Observer said Khali just looked awful.

I've watched him in the ring. I'd rather be in there against Ahmed Johnson while he's only doing piledrivers.

 

For a couple of minutes, I actually thought about ordering the show tonight. I was bored, there was nothing to watch on TV and my 360 is in the hands of Microsoft. Judging by what I read, I didn't miss much, but I will pluck down the money for SummSlam. I always order the big 4.

 

Yeah, Khali is pretty bad. I can't remember anyone worse. He's got no athletic talet. Big Show was a huge guy, but did some stuff that showed some athletic ability. I can't think of anyone worse than Khali. Any contenders?

 

From today's WO.com dispatch:

 

Giant Gonzalez
Lashley
Any of the cruiserweights except maybe Chavo
Most of the divas

 

See the thing is, if you put any of those crusierweights in ROH-type setting, they would be to wrestle that style and be awesome at it. Wasn't there somebody in here who said how shocked they were to see Jamie Noble wrestle outside of WWE. He was doing things he would never have a chance to do in WWE. In the WWE setting, the crusierweights are nothing to get excited about. They were awesome in WCW and you see crusierweights in ROH all the time and they have a great work rate.

 

I forgot about Giant Gonzalez. Just terrible. In terms of Lashley, I think he has the ability to be better, but they won't allow him to be a mat wrestler and use his amateur background. I've made that comment again and again. And as far as the cruiserweights are concerend, I agree with Will. Put most of those guys back in the WCW cruiserweight division or a promotion who actually promotes wrestling and those guys are awesome to watch. WWE forgot what the word and the workrate of what a cruiserweight should be.

 

Lashley's downfall right now is he's terrible on the mic. I hate listening to him cut a promo. That's why Scott Bowden thinks WWE should bring in a manager for him. Bowden would get my vote to manage Lashley. Either him or Armando Alejandro Estrrrrrrrrrrrrrada.

 

Ok, so WWE's RAW main event is to totally rip off the main event of TNA's main event on its last PPV. It's not exactly the same concept, but it is. Pathetic.
