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.

Rollins having an unsanctioned match at WM made no sense when he had a normal match the next night. Jeez

What's even sadder is that all of those are still rated ahead and get more tv time than 75% of the current roster.

When was the last time we saw Kane? Big Show, Mark Henry and Rhyno are barely featured anymore. The Hardyz are only back 1 week. Triple H and Steph are absolutely featured too much. Shane takes hardly any TV time. The Rock hasn't been back for ages and Jericho is still one of the best around.

Not quite as sad as it seems maybe.

For me those people you've listed are part of my childhood/ teenage years and so for fans my age they will always be more over than the current roster when they are on TV.

Now, the fact that they are still on tv in some form or fashion isn't good for wwe as a product. At some point they won't be there and like vince McMahon is meant to say when presented with an angle is "then what ?"

I feel a little wrestled out now and going too wait and watch NXT at the weekend

Enjoyed mania week some very happy and very sad moments with taker finally calling it a day but the return of the Hardyz, Finn Balors return, Angle becoming GM of Raw and the awesome NXT call ups.

Taker retiring is truly the end of an era, is it only Kane, Big show,Mark Henry, Rhyno,Hardyz, Triple H, Stephanie, Shane, The Rock and Chris Jericho that remain still active with the WWE today from the attitude era ??

Dustin Runnels is there since 1995 as Goldust and wrestled as Dustin Rhodes in 1991. I'd say he's there as long as anyone else.

**** Forgot about Goldust. He is the true mid card star and seems very happy with his career even though (if I recall) was never in then world title/WWE championship scene

William Regal is another one too that's still around from the attitude era. An underrated wrestler. Another obvious guy I missed is Y2J himself Chris Jericho

Angron

It's mad that Henry has been under contract with WWE since 96.

I wonder will The New Day be put out in front of the live RAW on Monday the most vocal crowd of the year.

They should be able to get away with WM drowning out any negative chants but on RAW i don't think they will.

DEFTLEFTHAND

They may very well involve tables and chairs in the match anyway. Being a ladder match, there's obviously no DQs.

Quite simply, because they have a TLC PPV later on in the year.

But the TLC PPV also has Ladder Matches in it. I just think if they wanted to go nostalgic and make a nod back to the days of Edge & Christian, The Hardy Boyz, and the Dudley Boyz TLC matches then it would be a great opportunity. I just think TLCs are much more fun then a traditional ladder match.

Plus Enzo has enough of a chance of injuring himself without adding tables and chairs into the mix

This guy has the hardest time getting thrown over the rope, i'm not sure what WWE was thinking putting him a Big Cass in the match. But maybe it will work out. Alternatively they could have replaced Enzo and Big Cass with the New Day.

Why didn't they make the Triple Threat Tag Team Match at Wrestlemania a TLC? I know it's a ladder match which is fundamentally the same, but I love the set up of the TLC matches with the tables, ladders, and chairs placed around the ring.

I had no idea they showed live PPVs as far back as that.

I know they began showing live ppvs on Sky when Sky One and Sky Sports came round in 1989, didn't know this aired live at the time.

It probably was the first live wrestling show that aired this side of the world but I do remember seeing WM2 at some stage before that and that was probably more a highlights show.

WoS was also showing one or two matches from North America on there weekly Saturday show around this time as well.

I synced up the network version of wrestlemania 3 and pressed play at 9pm GMT Irish time.

Nice job by aretha franklin on the anthem.

Can am connection vs don muraco and bob Orton jr. nice match so far and the can am connection pick up the win. The crowd is hot and it's only the first match.

Sure wasn't the Shield Punk's idea to get his mate Hero onto the main roster so I would be at all surprised if it was Ryback's idea or another wrestlers.

briany

Can anyone tell me why it's such an outrageous claim on the part of Ryback that he suggested The Shield do the triple powerbomb? I thought wrestlers often suggest moves to do to one another in building a match?
