Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 968

gives jungleboy someone to chase when christian returns. i would guess JB/Luchasaurus happens at Full Gear, and the hope is Christian is back by Revolution. I think its dumb, but I get the feeling thats the logic

 

He could have still won and had the Luchasaurus attack after

 

Plus Christian can come back and say “that win wasn’t fair. I was hurt”. Now it’s like he comes back but why should he concern himself with someone he beat while he wasn’t even healthy

 

They should have just kept Lucha heel and had Jungle Boy go through him to get to Christian.

 

I have zero interest in Jungle Boy going 1 on 1 against Luchasaurus at a ppv

 

i'd say they handled the fallout of all out quite well.

i did catch when mjf said he can cash in his chip at any time. if that's the case i'd have danielson/allin as the main event of grand slam and regardless of who wins, mjf cashes in right after and takes the strap. and onto 2023 we go. unfortunately, i got used to aew without omega that it won't be a huge loss if he's let go, and i was at peace with punk retiring from wrestling before he returned last yer. so i can quickly get over punk's absence if he never returns again.

 

Lol

 

now he gets to brag that he beat jungleboy while he was hurt

 

Well yeah, Christian vs. JB is still the PPV match. You have Luchasaurus be Christian's lackey for a few weeks, JB returns in mid-July, fights Lucha on Dynamite to face Christian at All Out & then you condense the build-up to a couple of weeks instead of the entire summer like it has been. I guess they can still do that but if Christian's hurt and they already turned Luchasaurus there's not much they can do except have a blow-off match at some point & move them to different feuds.

 

Mox's promo was great last night but fuck I don't want him in the title picture anymore lol

 

A lot going on. I think I’m back in.

Watched both Raw and Dynamite live for the first time in ages.

MJF is the best.

 

I just can’t sit through 3 hours of Raw and with football coming back I definitely don’t see that changing. I am however more excited to watch the PPV’s and the occasional SD/RAW clips from YouTube.

 

Triple H will be the greatest person in WWE forever if he makes raw a 2 hour show again.

 

only way three hours goes away is if they move to network tv on mondays

actual possibility, but if they stay on usa its not happening

 

You tellin me the cerebral assassin can’t negotiate??????

 

I wouldn't watch Raw if DVR didn't exist. I don't know how people would otherwise even if you like the show.

 

punk's a tier 1 jabroni, he went out of his way to bring up cabana and then complained about the fact he was having to talk about cabana

if christian couldnt wrestle then jungle boy going over him in a quick squash wouldn't have accomplished much. turning luchasaurus and making jb more sympathetic was the better play, and they leave open the possibility of revisiting the christian stuff for a better payoff at a later time

 

Jon Alba made an interesting point that there might be issues firing him while he's injured and that could be a delay

 

Cool keep him around for 8 months then fire him when he is healed. The only way I welcome him back is if he puts over Hangman and everyone else in the elite lol

 

Testing my joke here before I share it with the rest of the world

 

I would agree but I don't know how they're going to stretch this out over nine months unless CC is going to stay on TV as a manager. Even then they've really dragged this feud out.

 

Just about everything Punk did was stupid as all hell but I understand to an extent, if he really has absolutely nothing to do with Colt Cabana’s job status, how frustrating that would be for the story to get as big as it did and get asked about it by (I think?) Sports Illustrated and have a fan chanting “Colt Cabana” at him front row the Wednesday before All Out. Combine that with likely knowing he was injured/his career was potentially over, I’m sure he was pissed and emotions were high. He’s still a 43 year old man who should have recognized how high his emotions were flying and did what he could have to ground himself before going scorched earth and fucking over the company he said he was trying to bring business to
