The Pro Wrestling Thread

Just finished NXT. Holy crap the MVP/Husky Harris match was awful. The crowd was completely dead, Husky looked tired and slow throughout. They also talked A LOT throughout it. It seemed like Husky was lost and MVP was doing his best to walk him through it but at least once MVP shouted "what" at him after Husky called out a move. Ugly.

What the hell was Titus O'Neil talking about?

LOL wow, I just read there's a chance that Wade Barrett's work visa issues may prevent him from coming back until late August.............talk about the whole 'Nexus' angle being screwed!

That is bad news. They definitely need to wrestle soon, and, as you mentioned earlier, with Danielson gone, the Nexus (happy?) guys really need to rely on Barrett to carry them in the ring.

better

[Kicksave]

Maybe this will put pressure on them to bring Danielson back sooner rather than later?

(I didn't watch NXT yet. Have it DVR'd)

I think it's fairly obvious now that unless they rig the internet vote Kaval is winning NXT 2. They can try to bury him like they did to BD (although he did actually get the win last night), but people are going to vote for him regardless.

Um.. John Cena changed a bit in the last five years.

Apparently Ricky Steamboat had a brain aneurysm today, but is now in stable condition. I wonder if that was triggered by the 'attack' on Monday? Not really sure how aneurysms work.

That was during a period that I paid less attention to wrestling than I normally do. I remember going to a friends for a PPV. Cena was facing Triple H who was a major heel at the time. The crowd was pretty pro HHH and JR was trying to cover it up as old school fans who just didnt like the new guy on the scene. I asked my friend why they were against Cena when I thought he was pretty popular. He said "Because his gimick sucks" And he was right. Its slightly better now but I havent liked him since. We were disgusted that they had HHH tap out that night to John friggen Cena

I found it funny that they were really pushing Cena as edgy early on in his career, then he suddenly turned into PG golden boy. FU becomes Attitude Adjuster, STFU because STF (which makes no sense at all). Also interesting in that clip, it seems like the vast majority of fans, including the men, were really into Cena's schtick.

STFU because STF (which makes no sense at all).

Actually the move has always been called the STF before Cena started using it, they added the 'U' for Cena. It's the stepover toehold facelock. Yes, sadly, I knew that off the top of my head.

Cena was entertaining when he started, most likely due to the fact that interviews weren't being completely scripted at that point and he was pretty good at improving lines.

All this pro wrestling makes me think of this.

I'm even sadder that I didn't know that off the top of my head. Good info.

The Undertaker and Michelle McCool got married.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

So he isn't in a coma?

[steve784]

Haha 20 years and that's the first time I think I've ever seen The Undertaker crack a smile.

[Kicksave]

So he isn't in a coma?

He got married, so same thing?

[skullman80]

He's a dead man.

[steve784]

Hopefully he doesn't get this one's name tattooed on his neck.........and hopefully DDP doesn't stalk this one.

Lord, when i hear them announce Edge as a 9 time world champion, and see the likes of Cena and Sheamus exchange the belt week in and week out, it makes me sick. I remember when Flair being 9, 10, 11 time champion actually meant something. (Excuse me while i get these whipper-snappers off my lawn)
