Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 437

First time watching since WM. AEW does the no crowd stuff so much better. The wrestlers in the crowd for WWE comes off extremely fake/choreographed while AEW comes off more organic.

 

Probably because the heels actually root for the heels/boo faces and the faces cheer the faces/boo heels. The wwe crowd basically does what they want us to do which is root for the faces, boo the heels but it comes off too scripted.

 

Whole show was worth it for Dolph just screaming “WHY WONT YOU DIE!!!!”

also yeah that Tag match ruled

 

Per PWInsider:

 

Kairi

 

Is her wrestling career definitely over?

 

I believe it’s been reported she plans on wrestling in Japan for a bit, but probably not too much longer

 

What happened to Kairi?

 

wwe happened

 

Tino Sabatelli on AEW Dark this week

 

She got let go?

 

Sane is finishing up her run on good terms, having made the choice to return to live in Japan full-time as she was married earlier this year.

 

Just saw this now; the costume he would have worn when he was supposed to be Sister Abigail against Pumpkin Demon Finn. Then the mumps outbreak happened and we got Finn vs AJ and Kurt Angle in the Shield Reunion

 

Oooh, the veil and like, white makeup, right? Finn's weird pumpkin makeup sticks out more in my mind, lol

 

Rey being able to make a full recovery mean he signed with WWE again? lol

 

Ali is back finally lol

 

montez ford just hit the craziest frog splash quite possibly in human history

 

I know the reality is someone probably pitched at random with little forethought beyond maybe Rey leaving...but why would they not have a baby face ready to go to avenge Rey tonight? This is so tailor made to have them win a long-running, off and on, feud with Rollins when Rey makes a miraculous return at Survivor Series or something.

Instead he's entrant like 22 at the Rumble to a brief mention and gets tossed in 5 mins to no heat

 

Are Aleister Black and Seth Rollins gonna have a Hand for a Hand match at SummerSlam

 

This cold open is so good.

 

So it’s Dolph and Drew again in the exact same way just reversed... gaaah this is rough

 

Did Asuka actually lose the belt or something? Wtf? I read what happened at the PPV and watched a short video of the Bayley/Kairi match and Asuka is just standing at ringside while Sasha has her belt.

 

Yeah I fully expected someone to come out and save him.

Bayley put on the referee shirt and counted the 3 at the ppv but Asuka is still the official champ. Rematch next week. Dumb shit lol

 

There's a weird Twitter thread going on between RJ City and Randy Orton that somehow resulted in this exchange with Peyton Royce and FTR
