Wrestling Thread 4: The Ruethless Aggression Era • Page 638

Lunchbox collection. I swear I saw somewhere that he collects vintage lunchboxes. Unless I’m totally thinking of someone else

 

No, really guys, you need to start mentally preparing for when you see Batista's new belly-button tattoo. This is a PSA I am very passionate about.

 

No way shield bros for life

 

Have the revival won a match since winning the belts?

 

Also Ambrose is awesome now that he doesn’t give a shit

 

Its amazing to think how meh that RAW was when you type out the highlights.

Roman returned!
Ricochet/Black beat the tag champs!
Becky got arrested!
Ronda laid down the belt!
Roman and Seth saved Dean from a beat down!
Batista returned!

Two of those things seemed meaningless. Two more, together, were awkward instead of cool (I could be convinced they were cooling off Becky to have HHH/Batista main event off tonight). And one of them is setting up, yet again, a bunch of 50ish year old guys to have a marquee match.

Dean is currently playing exactly the character he played most of his time in WWE. There's just finally a non-kayfabe element that makes it click more.

 

at least they have matches and are on the show! Has Truth even been on television since winning the US title?

 

Really happy for Roman Reigns and actually excited to see how the crowd continues to react to him going forward, but I am absolutely dreading the amount of times we’re going to have to hear “THE BIG DOG!”

 

I missed a Sting appearance tonight?!?

 

The more I think about it, its kind of weird that Charlotte wasnt there. Its her fathers 70th and shes challenging Ronda at WM. Why wasnt she at least hanging out with Ric backstage?

(aside from the "she had a house show to be at" answer)

Are we getting Ric Flair again tomorrow in Charlotte?

 

I know it's cynical but I really hope they don't fuck up Roman's return and push him too hard too fast. After the responses I've seen it would be very easy for them to think let's strike while the iron's hot.

 

*quietly adds “i love no-fucks-given Ambrose” to thread bingo card*

 

AMBROSE STINKS

 

STINKS

 

Asuka

 

I know I’ve said it before but Asuka and Nia had a hell of a NXT house show match right after Nia was called up. It was like she was someone completely different. Guess it was a one night thing because after that I started defending her more. And I guess maybe that’s why I’m not so down on her as everyone else is.

 

Yup. He DOES NOT stink.

 

Roman didn't announce anything new on GMA

 

This is the second time I've seen them do this and it's quite cool. Aleister cuts a promo (mostly) in dutch, would love to see more of this even though they've probably done it a lot and I just haven't seen it

 

so Aleister Black and Riccochet are friends? why?

 

Otunga is so likable. Its a shame it never transitioned that way in WWE. lol

 

NXT Taping spoilers...but:

They are a team in the Dusty Classic, and have made it to the Finals so far, beating DIY along the way. So the more work they can give them as a tag team in the build to Takeover, the better they're chemistry

 

ambrose is hot trash

 

Why not? They have common enemies in NXT for the last couple of months.
