Random Wrasslin' thoughts.....

gimmick

So this is a thread for your musings which do not deserve an entire thread of its own.

For example

I just watched Card Subject To Change. Horrific to think that since its been made the following has happened -

Kamala has become an amputee

Sensational Sherrie, Paul Bearer and Trent Acid are dead

Had Kevin Sullivan and Nancy stayed together one of Wrestlings darkest moments would be completely different or never would have happened.

Lacey Von Erich almost became a diva. She is also crazy hot. Pure nom.

I also mused that even while Sherri was a dispicable heel while she was on tv she may well have been my first celeb crush.

All this in one lazy evening.

With Sky Sports going to 40 quid a month I can handle a PPV for each show a month, can skip RAW and Smackdown when I cancel sports and just watch the PPVs. Watch this week in WWae or bits on youtube if anything gets good reports.

Im getting rid of my sky sports too. have the network for the ppvs and theres ways of getting to see Raw/SD. WWE/Darts/odd soccer and Rugby match are my only sky sports viewings

I reckon they beat respect into each other and become tag champs

Mr.Nice Guy

I saw an interesting idea online from somebody who pointed out that the prize for the best of seven between Cesaro and Sheamus is supposed to be a 'championship opportunity' and that since it hasn't been specified what title it will be, perhaps Cesaro wins and receives an Intercontinental Title shot against Miz. This would play into the storyline between Miz and Daniel Bryan as Cesaro would be Bryan's representative, and if you recall a few months back Bryan made a comment to Cesaro that he thought he was being underutilized.

I can't shake the notion that I've heard TJ Perkins entrance music somewhere before..

eh i dunno

I remember only 4 ppv's a year. Great times

The whole point of a PPV is that its something thats been built up and youve been looking forward to. Time is a vital component.

As little-viewed as the cruiserweight classic was, I bet it done way more to retain or bring in additional subscribers than another four or five B-tier PPVs would do.

It feels like they are cramming PPVs too close together now to try and get people to justify keeping the network. We had Backlash 2 weeks ago, Clash of Champions last night, No Mercy in another 2 weeks.

Chain Smoker

Is it just me, or has the switch to each show having a monthly PPV really crippled the chance to feel like any PPV main event has much build and actually made the product significantly harder to follow than even the move to 3 hours did.

Alternating months would've been far easier to deal with.

WWE.com just did a "Where are they now" on Kozlov actually: http://www.wwe.com/videos/vladimir-kozlov-where-are-they-now

Basically, not in wrestling any more, he's now doing some acting and has a production company.

Agent Coulson

Is Kozlov still wrestling in anyway?

I think he and Rusev could be great together.

Bad ass Kozlov not the comedy guy he became.

Only time I'm aware of him breaking character was at the house show where he announced he was retiring.

It was never likely that they'd keep it at one title. They need a top tier belt for both shows touring schedule.

Is it just me or do both the universal and world titles seem less important than the world title was before the split? I really think WWE should have one undisputed champ, I could see that elevate the mid card titles and have less championship reigns that wouldn't/shouldn't have happened ala Khali, Ziggler, Henry and Big Show. I think it would also make it a way bigger deal when someone like Christian finally got to win the big one.

I have always disliked the idea of two world titles, each belt seems less important than one on it's own. When they unified the titles in 2013, each title change was a big deal as well as the guy holding it being more important. I was hoping when they had the brand split that they would still have only one title but unfortunately not.

Christian wouldn't have been a world champion if there were one title.

Making my way through February 1997 on the network and can I just say. Sunny sweet Jesus and the baby angels yes. Unreal. Shame about her personal issues over the years.

Tomko's role in the Christian/Tomko duo in WWE is underrated.

I don't think Christian ever could've been a top guy, but their unwillingness to run with the pretty f*cking obvious appeal of a veteran underdog face championship run for Christian following Edge's retirement was shockingly blinkered. Between goodwill towards Edge and Christian being a guy that would be able to garner a face pop pretty easily using an underappreciated veteran type gimmick.
Especially as they were starting into a very dominant heel run for Mark Henry at the time too. Give him three or four months of pulling through with the title only to have Henry absolutely kill him when he finally got up to the title scene.

but instead Vince got into a panic over the idea of Christian being on top* and threw the belt onto Orton ASAP only to realise there wasn't really anyone set up for Orton to work with and Orton's face character wasn't at all figured out.

* Vince has always thought Christian was an astoundingly ugly guy, to the point that I believe he wanted to come up with an excuse to hide his face from television at one point. I don't really get this at all, Christian (post-haircut) would've been down as one of the better looking wrestlers to me tbh.

I thought Christian was great, his friendship and feud with Jericho was one of the best, funniest stories on WWE at the time imo, 'one dollar, canadian'

. He was a proper heel who still got over while being an actual rude, sleazy heel. Him hitting on Trish after they were put in an intergender match 'We'll just go out to the ring, I lay down and you just cover me, 1,2,3................... and since I lay down for you, maybe you can lay down for me' :pac:

Didn't his first world title run last a day or something. Christian also seems like one of the good guys of wrestling. I was delighted when he won the title. He did have Orton and Sheamus in the smackdown main event scene at the time.

kksaints

Christian was defintiely an underated wrestler very good at promos and comedy skits, always had good matches. It was a real shame that his title runs on Smackdown in 2011 were treated so poorly by the WWE. He deserved at least one much longer title reign.

the second tlc match between them, the hardys and the dudleys will always hold a special place for me! the at last you're on your own theme is still my ringtone actually now I mention it
