The WRASSLIN’ Thread

[GAVol]

No, they're good friends and have been for years.

It may be just an act, but Schiavone comes off as a really nice guy on his podcast. I think he's almost got a little bit of shyness in him that gets misinterpreted sometimes.

Are we excited for a potential Tyson-Jericho match? I’m intrigued.

It's about 10 years too late.

I really enjoyed Tony calling matches in WCW and calling baseball games for the Gwinnett Braves-Stripers. I'm glad he's back calling wrestling matches for AEW.

I thought that segment last night was pretty bad, Jericho pushed him pretty soft, he should have pushed him harder and let Tyson punch him. Having Tyson, Cejudo, and Belfort in there and they all just got pulled away with nothing "violent" happening was pretty weak, imo.

Cejudo was the most shocking one to me. Excited to see what he may do

If they could get half of those views to buy or watch a match between Tyson and Jericho...

It’s unfortunate they didn’t sell it better than Austin/Tyson did for WWE

Chris Jericho is no Stone Cold

On the mic?

Wrestling?

Or straight up brawling?

On the mic and brawling in my opinion

On the mic and brawling in my opinion

I think there’s times when they were equal on the mic. They are very different in my opinion in a fight. I think Stone Cold could hold is own if he had to. JR was asked in an interview: if you needed two wrestlers in a street fight who you’d you pick? Lesnar and Stone.

Watching old Kane videos on youtube reminds me just how good he was. That type of character development is missing in todays WWE

I don't think it's missing, but I think it's happening less. The best character development in WWE right now, to me, is Seth Rollins. I'm so intrigued by his storyline

Love the new Rollins!

I think what’s missing is long-term booking and story telling. I know it’s hard to do right now with the current situation and social media hasn’t helped, but those are essential components to get fans invested in something.

It’s amazing how much less awkward the product is with just 50 people in the “crowd” making a little noise and reacting.

I still find it funny that they fully branded this to mock Fyre Fest. It being free just makes it even funnier.

Just getting around to dynamite. I'm kind of glad to see the old Matt Hardy back. The broken thing was fun for a while. But I was ready for a break from it.

Adam Cole getting as bad as early 2000s HHH

I feel pretty confident that they want the belt to go from Cole to Lee to Kross

I could buy that, its pretty easy to tell theyre trying to build Kross into something huge

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Also little nitpick thing here, but does it bother anyone else that Knox tries to use a choke slam now. I get the lady Kane angle, but its just not a believable move to me.

I didn't really know that was a thing. But I googled Lady Kane and saw that she was on The Bump and got surprised by him joining the show as well and she lost it she was so happy. So now I'm 100% on board with it haha sorry

Its fine, ive seen that video too. Its just to me the move doesnt make sense for her

I feel like they are setting up Lee to be a double champion which will be cool. Kross, eh was not impressed. I'll see how things play out with him but I just ain't feeling his character, look, or anything about him atm.
