Random Wrestling Thoughts (Part 2)

Riddle101

I think The Authors of Pain would have been better with Samoa Joe. Just imagine Joe as the leader of a new faction with AOP. He could call it the Nation of Violence which I know would be a reference to his past in TNA but WWE have already acknowledged TNA so it wouldn't be such a hard thing really.

Of course Vince would probably be worried people might mistake it for Nation of Domination. But I think Joe being the leader would have been a much better swerve than Seth Rollins. I know Joe is injured now but it still would have been cool I think.

I wonder if Sheamus is going to bring up this moment tonight. Everyone that I knew was shocked when this moment happened 10 years ago.

Agreed.

Joe is basically a shell of his former self, it'd drop into the mid card fast and sink into obscurity.

Saw a great stat on Reddit.

2019 will the first year since 2001 where there hasn't been a John Cena PPV match.

His last PPV match was Super Showdown in October 2018.

Would be funny if he had a 5 second squash against someone like Eric Young just to keep the streak going.

The WWE need to start to protect finishing moves to make them seem important.


It is ridiculous now you lads wrestlers are kicking out of so many finishing moves I think half of them would kick out of being dead.


One wrestler kicks out of 5 finishing moves and then loses to a school boy.

Thigh-slapping has become an epidemic.

I stopped watching WWE years ago, once YouTube and R/SC had the best bits up shortly after it happened. It's just too much of a time commitment these days. Lucha Underground got me back into Indy Wrestling, which coincided well with the rise of OTT and I'd much rather watch an OTT event than anything WWE produces.

Here's a random thought. This forum in general has been pretty quiet, dare I say a bit sh*t, as of late.

For example, there was F all responses to the Boards Awards of the Year where historically they've been popular. No real interaction. Single digits were enough to win or a mere nomination in some categories! No buzz or anything around them. The live threads are nearly dead. RAW used to have a weekly busy new thread, now it's a ''super'' thread where usually one fella is talking to himself during the night.

I don't know if it's because of Reddit, other sites, people not watching things at the same time due to on demand services, people enjoying an array of different companies so there's less communal spirit and discussion, or maybe the day of the forum is done. Either way it's a disappointing I think

For me I've cut back on posting due to the fact the main WWE product is just spinning the wheels at the moment and has been for a long time now, Wyatt being the only exception but that was more his doing than WWE's. And even then they've completely over-booked for him to surprise surprise have him defeated by the Big Dwag at Mania.

NXT is enjoyable and more palatable of a product to get behind. AEW while in ring is fantastic other than Jericho character wise just isn't grabbing me.

For me there's not enough passion in WWE for me to get passionate about, last night's PPV summed it up, they don't need to wheel out their big guns or put on a decent PPV anymore but people will still subscribe. PPVs are more like one giant pre-show for Steve Austin's podcast.

Has anyone kicked out of the RKO? I think it was one of the only moves that still finished people.

Mod Note: This thread is quite something.

For obvious reasons, there's going to be cards handed out here. In the mean time, if anyone else decides to start cyber-stalking or wanting to throw personal shots, I'm more than happy to remove access for them....

In the mean time, stay on the topic of pro-wrestling.

Requoting this for anyone who missed it...

...and adding to it.

I've deleted 109 posts in here this evening, and had to issue 4 yellow cards, two of which were for people who decided to ignore the mod warning and keep the nonsense going.

I actually think there could have been a mature discussion over objectification had, but for some reason, it utterly devolved into a personal bitch fest, with multiple people both baiting and engaging into personal attacks.

4 cards issued tonight is probably more than I've had to issue this entire year combined. I don't know where the personal beef some people have with each other stems from, and frankly, I don't care.

I'm going to leave this thread closed till tomorrow, to give some people a chance to cool off. When it re-opens, I expect everyone to have moved on. If not, I'll happily start upgrading warnings to bans if people can't act in a more mature manner. But the carry on today was really pathetic. Keep the personal bitch-fest to yourselves.

Was watching The Toys That Made Us and was wondering if AEW have made any moves in that direction? I remember TNA did a video game.
I know they're just new and less PG but even ECW had a toy line.
And Cody even appeared on the show for a bit.

Well accordingly there is an AEW game in development. Cody has referenced as much. It's been rumored Aki (no mercy n64, nwo revenge n64 etc) are the ones who are developing it.

May even be Yukes (Former WWE games developer) as they have split and, while saying they are "making their own wrestling game" - that could very well turn out to be AEW. So if they are going with a video game they have to have action figures in the process.

See Pentagon and Fenix have figures coming out in 2020 under a legends of Lucia libre line. 40 bucks each it looks like I've stopped collecting myself, it's become outrageously expensive.

MJF had a picture up of a head scan not so long ago which i fixated the video game or action figure!

Metallingus by Alter Bridge has to be on any of these lists, WWE version being slightly better (shoot me)

Saliva's Ladies & Gentlemen was the WM22 theme and I always thought it was a cracker

I've you've never played it, your point stands for nothing.

2K19 was a great game.
