Random Wrestling Thoughts (Part 2)

Is it just me or is anyone tiring of HHH’s booking? Theres alot of same stuff appearing recently. And he has a massive problem with the follow through booking.

Like he can pull off great viral moments but zero follow up….

Wyatt Sicks - great introduction but zero follow up killed all momentum.

The New Day - excellent heel turn, epic heat and now momentum killed and feel lost in the shuffle already.

Cody’s title reign - WM40 great pay off been a bore fest since. Also his rumble win last year which they wanted him to just hand over his main event to rock was a massive misstep

Gable/Otis - crowd was itching for Otis to turn on gable and follow through feel flat. American made falling flat as well especially with this masked wrestler quest.

Even Cena’s heel turn - Epic turn, no Cena for weeks and the follow up was lacklustre as Cena isn’t available and doesn’t want to miss out on his last year of merchandise money

I feel like there’s 100’s more examples. I feel like a lot of programmes start well but fizzle out and lose momentum quick enough when it could be so much more.

Yep, I don't understand why they seem to insist on a cooling off feud right after a big moment. I do feel it's the same across the board though, AEW title wins are the very same, and even TNA had nothing for Joe Hendry after his big win or last year the first weeks after the big relaunch were so flat

Also Roman/Rollins does not need Punk involved in the match.

Reigns/Rollins has so much history Punk doesn’t fit. Other than shoe him into a match for the sake of it.

For the first time in 10 years neither world title match at mania will contain either Roman reigns or Brock Lesnar.

That’s a crazy stat.

Looks like fun.

I have to say Maven is one of most likeable guys in the industry from following his YouTube channel and podcast appearances.

Even though his wrestling ability was average at best, if he was able to show the amount of personality like he does now he probably would of had much better run.

J. Marston · 08-04-2025 06:01PM

Every other wrestler's spear looks like a running cuddle compared to Bron's. You'd wonder why people even do it when there is someone already doing it one hundred times better than everyone else.

Who was it that had a rivalry with Rhyno for a while, The Spear versus The Gore? Was it Edge?

It was indeed Edge.

August is going to be a great time if you're a European/UK wrestling fan. Expensive but awesome. I assume Arenas esp in some big US states have hosted both WWE and AEW in the one calendar year before ??

I hope Karrion Kross gets a well deserved push, he's been killing it lately. WWE need to pull the trigger and show a vignette of Kross manipulating pulling the strings over the past few months and some of his promos he cuts on social media.

Ridley · 17-04-2025 10:30AM

I was gonna joke that Kross should be the new Judgement Day member but that would kinda work? Would need to give factions their teeth back though.

He should take over and Call the group the Final Judgement.

Or just dress like Edge. 😉

Yeah he's the only former wrestler I listen to. I think his attitude comes from having given up on being an active part of the business though, it makes him very refreshing, positive, and (seemingly) honest in comparison to all the other bitter people out there

Apple Dumpling · 23-04-2025 08:12AM

What are WWE going to do when Paul Heyman kicks the bucket without him leading the line over the last 12 years or so with his Paul Heyman guys they wouldn’t have much of a main event scene.

ShagNastii · 23-04-2025 11:15AM

I often wonder with Vince gone and "one of the boys" Triple H now at the helm. Is the time ripe for talent to formally organise a union. WWE is awash with massive gates and colossal sponsorships

Wrestlers more than ever are being used across countless media platforms. WWE want to show a progressive front.

The Nal · 23-04-2025 05:13PM

What’s he after doing ? I take you are referring to booker T ?

CastorTroy · 24-04-2025 01:29PM

I hope that now Mania weekend is over that the Daddy Cool chants will stop. They do them for everyone who has the 2-1 syllable combo. Roman thought he was special then they did it with Cody and now Dirty Dom.
