Upon further review I would have done the Cass/Enzo split a little different.

When Corey announced that it was Cass who attacked Enzo, I would have had Cass admit it, then beat Enzo's ass.

Next week, Enzo comes out demanding an explanation. Cass comes out with the new look, and says "You want an explanation, fine! You see, Enzo..." Then hits him with the Microphone and beats his ass again.

Next week, Cass comes out by himself. Gives the promo he gave, without Enzo standing there looking like a bitch. Cass caps off his promo with "I am the future of the WWE. Because, like some peon said, I am seven foot tall... AND YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT!"

Enzo runs in and attacks with a big flying move he hopefully doesn't botch, knocking Cass to the floor.

Bro... I need Russo to respond to that Bagwell/Rock comment.

In Noid's defense, I'd totally have understood if everyone raving about Alexa Bliss was the last straw for him. She really isn't half as good as people make her out to be. I can see feeling the need to escape the bizarro world for a bit.

But, would ya?

Bro.

:|

Should have stiffed the shit out of him after those shenanigans.

Yeah, I gotta echo Noid: I don't get Alexa Bliss either. She's pretty bleh .

I can third the Alexa notion, other than being eye candy.

Alexa Bliss ended up outing who in Creative wrote that terrible "This Is Your Life" Bayley segment a couple weeks ago.

Writer is named Johnny Russo which immediately generated the online jokes of if he's related to Vince Russo. Same guy is also in charge of the entire RAW Women's division so he's to blame for why its been terrible overall.

I still think Alexa's improved heaps over the last year. I genuinely thought she was being called up too early during the draft last year, but she's really taken to her role.

Yeah, I'm not gonna compare her to asuka or charlotte, but ignoring how much she's improved is just being unfair.

Didn't say she hadn't improved, but she is still very "meh" to me.

Savage saying Elizabeth was locked up :lol:

Which she probably was. :shifty:

Bret's promo was fucking terrible.

:y:

Actually, I think it was people gushing over The Usos' promos. It's just...okay, you are getting enjoyment out of it. It's not about yucking your yum. It's just the difference between favorite and best, and what you enjoy and what is actually good. Hell, wrestling itself could be considered "not good," but I enjoy it. I'm not going to justify it as an Emmy contender because I love it though.

I like Alexa Bliss just fine. She's wonderful to look at and pours her little heart into whatever it is she's doing. I quite enjoyed her NXT role -- even her early babyface stuff. I can just admit she's green as hell and has a long way to go before she gets as great as she is probably going to get, given their investment in her and her apparent ethic. I think they're blowing their load a bit early with her push now, because I think that by the time she gets really great, all the stuff that will be actually great about her will already be internalized by many of her fans now, and they will be the ones crying "boring" as she heads into her 9th WrestleMania championship match or whatever, as people who were chill on her are like "Wtf, she's great."

Reason!

Sanity!

People do, man. There are some who say she is the best in-ring worker the women's division has. But I'm not saying she hasn't improved. Of course she's improved. She's improving all the time. She's only in like the 4th year of her career. If she's not improving, something is wrong. And for the limited amount of time she has had training, she is far better than where she should be. I've alway said that.

I still just think she needs a lot of work. I think her acting is pretty atrocious, her mugging is pretty annoying and early on in that SmackDown role, you could see her focusing on patting her head and rubbing her tummy at the same time. She's just not polished and that is fine.

But improving =/= great. Improving is a process through which you increase in ability level. Heidenreich may have improved between the years of 2004 and 2005, but what does that necessarily mean about his ability level?

Out-fucking-standing. Meltzer's sometimes a bit giddy with the New Japan stuff, just in terms by how he rates it and such, but to hear him go to war with Russo is fantastic. I'm kind of marking out for "Takes No Shit" Dave.

To be fair, Buff WAS The Stuff............

Buff complaining or sending his mom to complain why Big Show got a limo and he didn't during his first days in the WWE is still a really funny story.

Only found out recently the whole limo thing was actually just a prank by Big Show that spiraled into something a lot bigger and a reason why Bagwell was quickly released by the WWE.

She's not even hott. She looks like a rodent

Actually just got to thinking about Sanity..... whatever happened to the first big guy before hairy Killian? Sawyer Fulton I think???

http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_...eda2f82958.png

Yea, Sawyer Fulton

I'd expect nothing less from you. To deny you'd do her if she were naked in front of you is lies.

Sawyer Fulton was injured or something, and replaced......

Too bad, because I think he was better than Killian Dane and "fit in more" with the group........

She's a solid 5 out 10. Good for a slump buster

Still feels so dumb that WWE ruined this Cody

Hahaha, stop

Cody Rhodes definitely winning the ROH title tonight.

Top 3

1. Maryse
2. Velvet Sky
3. Nitro Girl Spice

Very nice indeed.

1. Maryse
2. Peyton Royce
3. Tessa Blanchard

Remember when people used to act like Molly Holly was the hottest diva?

Gertner's list is good, but Alexa Bliss is fucking sexy.

Peyton is definitley hot as fuck

Mike Bennett/Kanellis has to be the first wrestler that I have ever forgotten what he looks like while I'm looking at him.

At least I could pick Mark Mero or Chris Candido, two other famous 3rd wheels, out of a lineup. You could replace this guy with Curt Hawkins and I doubt anyone would notice.

That could actually be the gimmick that gets them over. Have Maria come out with some dude, calling him Mike Kanellis. And it be a different local talent every week. At PPVs, have it be a main roster person. Anyhow, the real Mike interferes to help the fake one win.

And it leads to an angle where Maria herself thinks Fandango or someone is her husband and Mike feuds with them over who she is really married to.

No1 said you were wrong. They just liked it and you were a huge fucking weiner about it. Youre a good poster but your opinion is not the be all end all of the forum so sometimes your reactions are a bit much.

Lol yeah. Just an average looking chick with a dumpy ass. Molly Holly fans were usually huge weirdos

Quality-wise, Johnston was a lot better but WWE pretty much has a different philosophy for music now. Instead of spending a lot of time crafting a theme to fit a gimmick/character or everyone having long entrances, WWE now wants more themes made at the same time and for shorter entrance times in general.

Pretty much view them like ringtones which makes it a lot more attractive for customers on iTunes and other digital music stores.

Jim Johnston had a lot less work to do, they licensed a lot and had stock music for guys like Hardcore Holly and the Hardy's. They also have a lot more people coming in these days and need a fast turnaround before hitting NXT.

I know. And I may get flak for this, but I actually enjoy the campy '80s pop power ballad style of it, in aso bad it's really good kind of way.

lol i love it, you are literally built like an ogre (a handsome ogre) and you have heinous descriptions of women.

But people tend to find what SEEMS obtainable to be attractive. Thus the Molly Holly love.

Promo from after ROH, put in spoilers just incase someone wanted to watch the match, cause dammit I'm nice.

I feel like wrestling fans definitely overrate women who wrestle...

cuz the fact that we're doing something we like probably makes them more attractive to us?

Molly Holly is like watching a soccer mom wrestle

So is AJ Styles

While reading Wikipedia, I read that Mr. Pogo allegedly died during back surgery on Friday.

I like how the security guard was about to say something to the fan and then, realizing how funny it was, just let it go.

I also like how Lawler sold it.

Something happened during surgery that caused a blockage to occur in his brain and suffered a stroke that doctors couldn't fix in time.

I remember buying FMW/Big Japan Death Match comp tapes in the mid 90's and couldn't believe what I was watching.

I don't think they're gay. I do recall hearing the lyrics for their entrance for the first time and being big Simpsons fan, the words did make me think of this. :D

According to Mike Bennett, Kevin Owens is the main reason why him and Maria are in the WWE.

You take them to be a bit much. You constantly project these emotions onto me that I simply don't have. You seem to take everything I say literally. Language can be hyperbolic or emotive without actually carrying the tone you get from it. A communication issue, but you take it as gospel, like I was having a mental breakdown or something. I was just getting bored. And I don't mean that aimed at anyone in particular or anything, it was just the critical level of the conversation. People enjoy different types of conversation, and that's cool too, but there was very little by way of "Hey, let's actually talk about this."

I don't think my opinion is the end-all, be-all. I've had many disagreements with posters I enjoy conversing with. I'm sorry I've given you the impression that I think that.

My language is hyperbolic too, Noid. Kind sir. Its why im able to tell Destor i wanna fuck him in the ass while debating the merits of ring psycology.

Dont make this about trying to dig at my psyche. That is deflecting that fact that you were being a weeny. There are people who wholeheartedly agree with me on your weeniness in that situation.

Sting defies gravity

lol What the fuck??

So instead of getting world class female wrestlers for their tournament like they did for the CWC and UK tournament, we're getting a bunch of green as grass trainees for the mae young classic. Super.

That dudes knees kind of lift Sting up as he falls back.

"That dude" went on to be a dentist, among other things...

Oh yeah, I can just about see through the VHS grain.

DOMINATING BACKYARD WRESTLING is back : Amazing new match feat the talented Mr. Judgment! Must watch
 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0DnPGdzGxgc?ecver=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

Mr. Judgment issues an open challenge. Who answers? You have to watch and find out. But what you will find out besides his opponent is an amazing wrestling match.

Enjoy the action.

Still looks weird how long it takes him to fall after his knee is no longer holding him up. lol

Maybe Kane was actually falling back so fast that it looked to be in normal speed as the tape slowed down for a second. Or Sting had/has magic powers.

This right here is why I want to be a Mod.

If there's no HABM..... nobody cares

Fuck Omega vs Okada. Psychology bitches. You sheeple who like those "6 star " darlings should watch this and learn a thing or two.

Was always going to be harder compared to the CWC and UK tournament because of the talent pool being smaller and trying to get everyone signed to a deal like with the UK. It was easier with the UK because everyone came from the same region and didn't require stuff like having to move to Orlando.

Main problem seems to be how bad the WWE mismanaged their time since they are still trying to get deals done this close to the tournament. Pretty much had to give up on the idea of everyone being signed to a deal and filling up spots with more NXT talent and "one night only" type talent.
