The WWE/Pro Wrestling Thread

On this day in 1996...



My favorite part is when Heenan says, "What did I say for all those years?!"

 

Smarks would be cheering this if it happened nowadays (with Cena, for example).

 

Austin Aries got his release. Lame man.

 

Whoa!

Will be interested to hear what Solomonster says on why this happened...

Also Styles won the US Title at a house show from KO. That's cool.

 

See you in Japan

 

He didn't want to be relegated in being just in the CW division and on 205 live and asked for and was granted his release

 

Little kids would cry and explode

 

I can't wait for the Sheamus and Cesaro had a 3-1 lead signs

Edit: Lol posted this when it got tied. Nice match. Not mad about Shesaro winning

 

Yaaaaasss! Put the damn belt on Braun at Summerslam dammit!

 

Anybody else notice that the bell most definitely did ring in the Lesnar Vs Joe match?

They rang the bell before the introductions so doesn't that mean The match started? Idk just thought it was silly.

 

I never heard a bell before Joe jumped the gun. And the official bell starts when the ref signals the time keeper he called both guys together to go over the rules, which makes it seem it hadn't started.

I thought it was a pretty good fight, short but with the level of striking going back and forth that is realistic. I really hated the finish though.

 

It's funny that Brock hasn't been on tv for months before the feud with Joe and under wwe safety precautions, he can only go for 10-15 mins. Joe can go 30+ minutes easy, the nakamura feud comes to mind. Not sure why they didn't put the title on him to showcase the universal title when your current champ can't go longer than 10???

 

What safety precautions are these?

I was disappointed the fight didn't go longer but looking at Brock walking up the ramp he was the sweatiest man of all time. I'm not sure he could have gone any longer without passing out.

 

Being a part timer that's going to be the problem for him for sure. Can Brock become a full timer just on his athleticism alone or do you think he's past those years?

 

I'd bet he'll be a part timer forever. Part of his appeal is that he's so rarely around that his presence is a big deal.

I was just wondering if there were specific safety precautions laid out for Brock with regard to his match lengths.

 

Joe v Brock was booked correctly. The storytelling in my opinion was great as it showed that Brock barely escaped Joe.

That Braun vs Reigns feud is the best feud in the WWE right now. Nothing in Smackdown compares to either of those two feuds. Seems like Braun vs Reigns will continue onto Summer Slam, they might even make it a Fatal 4 Way match between those 4. That'd be great to see.

 

I wanna see Brock vs Balor next

 

Understood why the match was short. Love the heavy quick action.


Who's at Raw tonight. Contemplating a ticket somehow tonight.

 

They always ring the bell in the title matches right before they introduce them I just don't know what that means lol and I always wonder why the heels don't just start beating the crap out of the faces every time...

Check out at 3:10

 

Then everybody isn't just going to complain saying Balor isn't getting buried... I think Brock's matches should be short for the most part but I also think he shouldn't be mowing thru everybody... I mean he was destroyed by Goldberg and then joe has to beat 4 of the other top guys in company just to get a shot at him and then he losses... I just don't know what that says about your roster when nobody is even close to being a threat except a 50 year old
