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.

WWE really need to start using some new camera angles.

Remember when Raw & Smackdown split again, they were using new angles for a few weeks, instead of Bucky Beaver in the back directing the cameramen to revert to that horrible presentation?

THANK YOU! This is a MASSIVE turn off for me too. They're doing this 2009 pseudo-documentary close up shaky-cam bulls**t all the time too. The only "normal" camera we get is the wide shot. All ringside cameras are for closeups and WON'T F**KING STOP MOVING. It screams of desperation that what's on screen isn't interesting enough. Combine that with bobbing the camera for kicks and punches and Jay has a very short viewing session.

Ehhh. At least it wasn't like World of Sport last year where they just couldn't stop cutting to another shot.

honestly the camera cuts for every move is so ****ing annoying. I haven't been watching much Raw and Smackdown lately so this is the first WWE match I've watched in awhile. I think it's more noticeable when you've been watching other promotions.

Does Kevin Dunne produce the Takeover shows or is the person producing them trying to replicate his **** style?

I went to watch the Velveteen Dream Vs Alistair Black match because it was getting good reviews but honestly the camera cuts for every move is so ****ing annoying. I haven't been watching much Raw and Smackdown lately so this is the first WWE match I've watched in awhile. I think it's more noticeable when you've been watching other promotions.

The worst is when someone has a person in the corner and is throwing a few punches and it cuts to a different camera around 10 times in a row.

They've gotten rid of the zoom in zoom out **** and shaky cam when someone hits a move but have replaced it with this crap.

Yup, Macho. It was a thing where he ran backstage to yell at his manager, and Torrie Wilson was beside her and starts laughing so Macho gives her a smack.

In the botchamania videos when they do the 'send for the man' clips, who is the man? Looks like a WCW clip but the camera is always behind him and I cant make out who it is.

Have they ever acknowledged Dean and Renee on air? Cena and Nikki, Brie and Bryan, Lana and Rusev and Miz and Maryse have all been acknowledged. Apart from them saying Dean was on his honeymoon without naming his bride, I don't think they have.

Seth name dropped Renee when Dean was on honeymoon most definitely.

They acknowledged it last year when Dean was feuding with The Miz on Smackdown. It looked like they were developing a storyline out of it but nothing came of it in the end. I think they scrapped it, possibly because Dean and Renee might have been uncomfortable about it, I don't know.

I'm still trying to figure Ohno's place in the grand scheme of things. Personally I'm not bothered by his weight either, but his character is just strange to me. I don't understand what it's all about with him.

Work with inexperienced guys to bring them along. A veteran role and what NXT should be about, developing talent.
His look is absolutely awful though. If I hated someone I still wouldn't make him where that ill-fitting basketball top.

Another random wrasslin' thought. It won't happen but I was thinking it'd great if Jordon Devlin joined the Bulletclub in a sort of a throwback to Fergal Devitt being the founder. It would really skyrocket his career much like Marty Scrull's.

While I wouldn't say it's in the works now or anything like that, I wouldn't go as far to say as it won't happen either. He's making waves on shows with these guys, he has the obvious contact in there and it'd be a cool fit since he now known on the indies as having a tie-in with Balor. Obviously he's signed to WWE but he'd have options there if he ever decided to explore them.

ShagNastii

I'd agree. The Ohno ship sailed a long time ago. Nothing worse than a "why should I care about this guy" guy. He isn't at Kane level yet but certainly on par with Ziggler.

Its clique to say he should go to Japan but I think Ohno would be fantastic if he went east and really hossed it up.

Couldn't agree more. He holds no appeal for me. Seems to me like a hyped indy name from a decade ago that never really made it. I don't know, he just doesn't engage me in the slightest.

Seven does not have the body shape for it, if it was Ohno everyone would be getting on him about it

Why would people have a reason to be preferential for one over another? I'm not really bothered by Trent's weight as he makes it work in general.

I'm strictly a wwe man but just watched Jerichos attack on Omega in NJPW and pretty hyped for that event and will deff watch that match in Jan. weird seeing blood and Jericho going insane

I was too young and not tech savy enough too see WCW/ECW in there day so it was WWE Raw on Friday nights and SD sat morning until they moved times and eventually ended up being on live/earlier in the week. I remember when TNA had it's small rise in 2008 or 2009 (could of been after that cant remember) when Hogan/Flair/Angle etc were on there roster I downloaded and watched for a few weeks but stopped after a while

don't think I'll ever stop watching wrestling no matter how **** it might get

PTH, to get yourself in the mood for it, I highly suggest going back and watching at least the last 2 Wrestlekingdoms. Unbelieveable matches such as Shinsuke Nakamura vs Kota Ibushi, Okada vs Hiroshi Tanahashi (he's a bit like WWE's Cena to NJPW), and last year, Nakamura vs AJ Styles, Okada Vs Kenny Omega & Tetsuya Naito vs Tanahashi

There is nothing I wish for more in wrestling right now than for WWE to go all in with British Strong Style.

Put them top of the heap in NXT for 5-6 months and build the show around them. Then bring them up to the RAW or SMACKDOWN placing them instantly in the main event/upper mid card scene.

I can't see a single flaw in Seven, Bate or Dunne.

I badly wanted them in War Games. They had unfinished business with Undisputed Era and would've slotted in nicely with the other trios pattern. That plus a logical reluctant partners storyline was built in. Time is on their side though,definitely Bate and Dunne's anyway.

Step beyond the WWE box into a world not ruled by PG, where anything and everything is possible, where logic and continuity are actually cared about. Also New Japan World is worth the sub. Cheaper than the WWE Network. Don't just watch the Omega/Jericho match, watch the entire show.

Again there's a whole world of possibility beyond the WWE. Why limit yourself?

Even though New Japan haven't announced the rest of the Wrestle Kingdom 12 card, I'm pretty excited for the show Friday January 5th.. Probably the only time I would ever get up early..

Summer Rae is the ultimate butterface.

Is there any reason why the 'modern'/oval Intercontinental championship has seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth?

Had a replica of it years ago, sold it when i was stuck for cash. Was in two minds of getting another one, and just noticed it seems to have been Benoit'ed? I don't get it?

Well if you believe Bruce Prichard, be careful what you pitch to Vince because you never know which crap idea he will fall in love with.
