The WRASSLIN’ Thread

I don’t know man, WWE has fallen of a cliff face first lately for me. AEW is just alright. I’d like to see both companies step it up, but WWE is almost embarrassingly bad lately to me. Only thing I really watch anymore is AEW ppvs, may have Dynamite on at some point in bed lol maybe im just burned out on wrestling

I would definitely agree that WWE has taken a strange turn. It’s not the wrestling or the wrestlers, but it’s the writing. Everything feels choppy and all over the place. There’s no linear path and every storyline feels super predictable. HHH needs to pick it up or else fans will start calling for some heads to roll.

Individuals complain about Cena being a heel but if people remember Cena was a heel when he first came into WWE.

Damn, i just watched him on the new episode of Legion of Skanks podcast Friday, it was filmed on Monday.

Hoping there's some excitement between now and a 2 night Summerslam. Last night wasn't bad. But I agree with the above, the writing isn't making sense and Cena as a heel just isn't believable.

He was on this week's episode about the original Sheik on Dark Side of The Ring. How sad. Guy put himself through a lot in those hardcore matches back in the day.

I can’t speak for others, but I’m not complaining about the heel turn itself; rather, I have issues with how they’ve done it. We went from selling out to The Rock to hating the fans to now there’s no true WWE Competition? It’s just been a very clumsy turn. And even if The Rock is the one who messed this up, you could still easily have fixed it with the lead up to WM and then substituted Travis Scott with someone far more believable.

I just watched his retirement match with Joey Janela a couple of weeks ago. He was not looking good in that match.

Lots of rough mileage in his career. Not many went as hard in ECW as he did.

Respect to those that have paved the way but are these necessary?

Once you can’t go why not ride into the sunset and enjoy the path you paved.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

Sounds like Janela and GCW are getting a lot of flack for allowing Sabu to work that match high as F.

Beach Break is gonna be a good one tonight.

Something has to give with the MJF/HS storyline tonight. I wonder if we could see a debut.

The biggest travesty in AEW history is that Ricochet trying to put a one legged man in a figure 4 was in picture and picture.

Anarchy in the Arena at Double or Nothing! Double or Nothing is shaping up to be a solid PPV.

 

[knoxvol52]

This Gabe Kidd individual is he any good? I've never heard of him before.

 

[Weezer]

1. 4 Horsemen
2. NWO
3. DX
4. Evolution
5. Bullet Club


I would like Evolution to be higher because they were probably my second favorite group, but I think purely on impact in the wrestling world that's the way it is.

Hon. Mention: Aces & Eights.

If you really want to go on impact alone, The Kliq. They arguably shaped the last 30 years of wrestling, IMO.

are those the 4 Horsemen from the Zone ?

 

[Dudleys87]

1. 4 Horsemen (the originals)

2. NWO (before Hogan ruined it. It wasn’t just Bisoff)
3. DX (could arguably be #2 since they are running WWE in the longest story line in the history of forever)
4. Evolution ( took over when the business needed a savior and a push)
5. Bullet Club

He's a member of the Wardogs in New Japan. They are the current top sub faction of Bullet Club. He's been a tag champ, the Never Open Weight champ, and took the Strong Open Weight belt from Eddie Kingston when he was doing his triple crown thing.

Dude has a brutal style and should fit right in with the Deathriders.

Praying for the best outcome for the very best announcer!

He’s absolutely killing it.

I don't recall ever seeing Ricochet this over. The heel turn and AEW's style have done wonders for him. He looks like he's having an absolute blast with it too.

I watched AEW for the first time Wednesday night, I have to admit that I’m a fan. The in-ring wrestling was night and day different from WWE. I think I’d like a bit more of the WWE style promos, but from a first time watch, I’m a fan.
