Wrestling Thread 3: Dan vs. Cam • Page 496

My only issue is that I don't feel like they've established Lars to be a believable winner for the belt. There are guys that have been built a lot stronger who should be shooting for the strap. I'm confident the build for Lars would have been strong enough to make it work, but now we'll never know.

I've come to notice, as much as WWE likes big guys, they haven't thrown a title on one in a long time. Brock is kind of an exception, but other than him, I can't think of a Lars/Braun guy who has held a title in ages.

 

omg Alundra Blayze didn't know the names of any of the women in the Rumble. JBL.

 

I love in a botchamania video Maffew botched Greg Hamilton's name while trying to point out Greg Hamilton's botch.

 

I saw the RR preshow live and all of my friends were just as agitated hearing Madusa speak. She names Asuka and Nia, just fucking decide on either one of them.

 

I knew Flip was too good to be true

 

Hahahahahaha fucking idiot

 

animated shows are a little different. you'd never see stuff like the alienist or mr. robot on fox for example. it really is as simple as cable vs. network.

now that I actually think about it, we probably wouldn't notice a day-to-day change in the product itself. but it needlessly limits the potential in the future for sure

 

This is a dope design

 

Yeah that's awesome

 

It was extremely painful watching that live. I thought at first she knew who was winning and trying not to say that name...but then it became clear she had no idea

 

DZ CREW

 

wtf is up with the Ziggler thing. it does not seem they had any sort of plan with it.

 

i can't believe how many people are buying this Graves/Booker stuff. maybe i'll eat my words but they seem to get along very well.

 

ZIGGLER VS NAKAMURA AT MANIA BAYBEEEE

Finally the rematch we've all wanted

 

From Meltzer today:

 

So, this is how they invent their way to a US title ladder match?

I get the pettiness from Shane just wanting to kneecap Sami/KO, but adding those two guys as a potential title challenger is super random

 

The xfl is shit but I guess something good will come out of it, what happens if the xfl actually does decent for a season or two though? Vince gonna work while he's super old still?

 

Ziggler got such a big pop at the rumble tho...

 

can we agree to banish that steph story to the speculation thread?

it's too awful to be true

 

What Steph story?

 

i think people are extrapolating a LOT from that blurb. without going into the spoilery nature of it, it sounds like they just want her to be more present in the mind of the casual fan, likely because she is buckling down into takeover gear and will be seen a lot more

 

that WWE are looking to increase her stock as a public personality/"star" by way of an upcoming angle

 

Oh god, that Steph story makes so much sense and I hate it more than anything.
