Wrestling Thread 4: The Ruethless Aggression Era • Page 683

There’s a difference, I think, between “overcoming the odds” and the whole “being an underdog” thing, and getting your ass kicked every time you take a breath. I made a joke last week about Becky rolling into WrestleMania in an iron lung, and that’s seriously what’s going on. Becky got completely, effortlessly trounced by Charlotte Flair here with almost no resistance, and was straight-up about to lose via submission (like she did at the Royal Rumble) until the woman who kicked her ass on Monday made a pity save. I don’t blame Ronda; if I’m her, I want Becky in the match at WrestleMania, too, so I can easily win.

*record scratch* "Yeah, that's me, Mandy. You're probably wondering how I ended up like this"

 

Real question: What's the only way to gimmick a finisher like this to where it looks believable but isn't taken like a legit strike in an MMA bout? To catch them more with the kickpad? Aleister Black's Black Mass also seems to land just like this the majority of the time.

Also, I'm not sure if everyone pointing this out is implying some sort of error on Asuka's part, or appreciating Mandy's toughness for taking the shot the way it's intended?

 

I'm glad she ate that one, because Asuka whiffed on a kick earlier in the match and Mandy sold it like death.

 

That PPV was a stinker.

 

it really wasn't that bad for a C-level PPV in March

 

This time, ROMAN TURNS ON THEM!

 

That's true. There were a couple solid matches.

 

omg mjf

 

Is that what AEW is gonna be about? That's some TNA shit right there.

 

WWE usually doesn't go this hard with something like this unless there's an actual plan. Wondering if Dean re-signed or they're going to do Roman/Dean at Mania.

 

I enjoyed it. It was pretty fun. The WWE title, US, and Tag titles were all solid matches. Definitely the best Fastlane ever. Not saying much though haha.

 

Yeah Cole talked about Dean not re signing like 4 times last night, it's a work af

 

loving that you're using your custom title to spread fake news

 

You should love that I took it easy on you bruh bruh

 

More like 40. Honestly, between that and how many times them mention Miz's dad in the very first match, this was the closest I've come to muting the broadcast in a long time. Cristen was openly laughing at how silly and cringey they were being with it all.

 

Yeah I was gonna say 4 times and that's with me naturally tuning out the commentary most of the time so it must of been more

 

Wow, this is a helluva fascinating video:

Flair is crazy :D

 

GET STOKED

WWE Performance Center adds new recruits

 

Is that Bloom guy Khali's son? Looks just like him

 

Chuck Taylor™️ got signed before Chuck Taylor. What a travesty.
