If Gallows was doing on his own, fair enough, it's a twisting suplex or something.
Anderson actually ruins it by limply tossing the legs down like a bag of cement. Put some razzle dazzle on the move!
It's one of those moves that has the ability to look both impressive and shite. No impact off it whatsoever.
The Eco match battle for the Environment that WWE never had can finally happen now Eco Juice Robinson vs Eco Bryan Danielson
The Magic Killer is such a shíte move.
The best (or my favourite, rather) promos in wrestling today are, by far, the ones Jim Cornette does on his thought-enemies during his weekly podcasts. Not even close.
Yeah where is the time going.
Geez I am just remembering some old memories of wrestling now. Staying up late to watch Survivor Series 1994 on Sky Sports (First live wwe ppv shown in UK I do believe) to watching the Royal Rumble 2000 on an hour tape delay ... thank you very much Channel 4! lol.
Hard to believe the Summer of Punk was 10 years ago now. I still remember watching Money in the Bank 2011 at my friend's house and being completely blown away by the match. Still feels like it happened only recently.
Right after briefly making a tit of myself a month ago(which brother lithium93 stopped me from going further) by writing a post about the tenth anniversary of the MITB PPV where punk won the title from cena. Well today it is indeed the tenth anniversary of what at the time was an important moment in wrestling, and given the offerings WWE have served us up in the intervening ten years, it’s gotten better. I remember this was on sky sports and not sky box office and my god the pop CM punk got in his home town was unreal and the booing of cena to the point where you couldn’t hear his music seems like something WWE can’t do now.
There were a couple of moments this week where I was wondering why the ref didn't call what he saw to finish the match.
In AEW Dark (maybe was Elevation) Riho was fighting Amber Nova, I think, and she pinned Amber but the ref said Amber got her shoulder up when she clearly didn't and hadn't even attempted to. That should've been reason enough to end the match rather than continue.
In NXT Sarray fought Gigi Dolan (Priscilla Kelly) and had some kind of submission locked in. Gigi tapped Sarray's hand and said something and she broke the hold and the match continued. The ref would've seen the tap.
In both cases it would've been the same winner anyway

One thing that has become noticeable in the last years though is that the average height of male wrestlers has decreased and the overall size of female wrestlers increased.. if you stick a modern light heavyweight in the ring with a bigger female wrestler the size difference isn't as noticeable as it was years ago, it's getting easier to suspend disbelief watching matches other than the above mentioned 'Amazons'

Sure there's a big debate over in the Current Affairs forum about a transgendered (man to woman) being allowed to compete in weightlifting women's division at Tokyo games. The general opinion is that it's not fair. Like, we all know wrestling is predetermined or 'fake' if you will - but putting a 100 pound woman against a 250lbs so called jacked superstar is not the best move. Because, in the realm of wrestling, anything more than him grabbing her by the hair and punching her for the pin would make said male wrestler come off in a bad light. Not to mention in this day and age a man "fighting" a woman wouldn't go down well. WWE are right not to book women vs men imo.

Feinstein asked daniels what his thoughts about men wrestling women were. To which Daniels responded with "what's the best finish to a man wrestling a woman? A punch to the face" :pac: (ie, women have no place wrestling a man) Couldn't be getting away with saying that now lol.

About 14 years ago, an employee of theirs killed his family and then himself, with CTE being put forward as a major contributing factor. So it doesn't really surprise me that WWE has their talent work light. They're probably just hedging their bets not to get sued by another crop of guys in a decade or two's time.

But, I've noticed a change in wwe over the last few years... like everyone knows the old way of go snug for TV and light for house shows (sure even Austin tweeting to punk saying lay it in kid its tv years ago) but wwe don't do that anymore. Its light and soft all the time now. They don't want anyone getting hurt anymore as they are no longer a wrestling promotion but a content creator.
