Wrestling Thread 3: Dan vs. Cam • Page 29

Just got home from work and saw the news. Can't believe it. Kind of a lucky break for Finn. Now he's in a way better match overall. But Kurt, that's so awesome for him.

 

Will this mean AJ moving over to raw?

 

I highly doubt it. Probably they just don't really have another singles star on the raw roster caliber enough to face Finn, so just get AJ to do a cross brand appearance is a quick easy out

 

Also says he’s still working as the Demon

But Alvarez is hit and miss sometimes

 

Not caliberwise but storywise I would have mixed Goldust in. He's still got it.

 

Finn as Demon makes sense. Lets him win on his brands PPV without hurting AJ.

 

im interested in the kayfabe reasoning behind it being AJ Styles though. I'm guessing Samoa joe still hurt?

 

Hes not due to return till at least next month

 

I've never totally understood this type of reporting when it comes to pro wrestling before a show. We all know that match times can change at the drop of a hat, literally seconds before you walk out from behind the curtain and everyone suddenly has an expectation for the match that could lead to disappointment. Like, I get reporting on how long an episode of Game of Thrones is going to be, because you know that's not going to change what's actually presented when it airs. It's one of the few times where I feel like wrestling is justified in being treated like a "real" sport.

 

Fine, fine, WWE. I'll watch your goddamn PPV live. Stop pushing.

 

the dramatic in me wishes they would've made Balor's opponent a mystery, but i think with the card being so damn shitty, they dont have room to fool around with that.

Obviously they need to announce Angle. Without the shield 'reuniting' (legit the only reason this ppv needs to exist) they had to announce a major backup plan.

 

i need to hear the pop that would follow an angle slam on strowman

 

That pop wouldn't be as loud as Angle's neck lol am i right

 

WWE ISSUES CORRECTION: Curtis Axel, not Kurt Angle, to wrestle this Sunday - Kayfabe News

 

The question is how angle can go back to being a GM after fighting those guys.

 

Dude at my gym right now looks like the more jacked Singh brother, and even though I know it’s not him, I keep getting thrown off guard when he walks by me cause they look fucking identical. Same haircut and overly groomed beard. If he walks out of here in an Express bottom-up I’m going to lose it.

 

Prince Devitt finally gonna get his comeuppance

 

I've said it once and I'll say it again if i ran the wwe, id put all my money behind AJ

 

I feel like this means Kurt was close to returning already, with him possibly already been planned to do something physical at SS.

 

Now I'm bummed they never did that as part of the New Day / Usos feud.

 

I haven't watched in months but the most surprising news to me about all this is that Kane is back and wrestling.

When did Kane return?
