  1. wasn't this followed by some deal where DDP beat Hennig a few times but wouldn't take the US title until he beat him with the Diamond Cutter?
  2. Just send the guy to Earth-2 or something?
  3. I think you're being kind there. I don't think I've enjoyed a match of his since he's come to WWE (admittedly may need to rewatch vs Zayn). He's well and truly into that Dean Ambrose model of getting your shit in, meandering around, wacky/crazy faces, more signature spots, the end. One thing to judge him on being able to get over like no other Japanese wrestler has been able to get past the language barrier on physical charisma alone, another on being a capable story teller, and without that above model, he does not.
  4. Agreed. In the current game, rewards centers for basically being half decent/useful, as there's maybe 5 in the league who pull their weight, and punishes maybe 10-12 guards for being in the league the same time as unprecedented stats being put up by Curry, Westbrook and Harden. Like Rudy Gobert deserves it more than Paul George...
  5. What I said. Orton does chinlocks therefore everything he does needs to be exaggerated beyond belief.
  6. The more I think about this, the more I want to see it. Like a meta version of Luger's turn. Make no effort to explain why Rusev is now a good guy, or that the fans should like him, have the announcers completely confused as to what he's doing/why he suddenly is waving the US flag around. He's naturally likable enough to get cheered anyway, it would totally work.
  7. There's going to end up being some weird back story to this, surely, similar to how Virgil got his job by impressing Pat Patterson. Vince sees him lifting a set of weights and is all "God damn, pal", or he's got a gorilla dick. Either or/both.
  8. I'm tired as fuck already. First born due in September, dad diagnosed recently as having 9 months to live with renal failure (on the other side of the world), whilst trying to organize buying first home (lease on rental up in August, tenants in property we bought have lease till October) around work who seem pretty happy to find an excuse to get rid of me. Wife came home in tears on Saturday afternoon. Freaked out wondering what was going on.... "THE MAN AT ZAMBRERO WAS REALLY MEAN TO ME AND CHARGED ME EXTRA FOR JALAPENOS AND ITS YOUR FAULT BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T FUCKING THERE". This really wasn't the wisest choices of to be drinking less over the next few months....
  9. Who was it that said that "What's so Stunning about Stunning Steve Austin"? One of the Fullers? What's so riotous about Ruby Riot? "Tonight I wanna start a riot!".....by wrestling two other females in the ring as advertised. Same thing as Dean Ambrose, edgy character portrayed as dull as possible.
  10. I hope someone's booked studio time for him to cover that I'll Be Your Hero song from around then.
  11. HOW ANGRY I FEEL ABOUT RANDY ORTON NEARLY KILLING SOMEONE MUST BE LINKED TO HOW I FEEL ABOUT HIM AS A PERFORMER. That time Joe nearly made a quadriplegic out of Tyson Kidd was WWE's fault for holding him down. The dozens of botched Styles clashes? The other guys fault for not knowing how to land. Lesnar never protecting guys on suplexes? Lesnar never does chinlocks....
  12. I'm assuming Sami is the next challenger for Jinder based on those results? What on earth...
  13. Nigel has to go though. Better than Percy Watson, but still sounds like the announcer for the London Silly Nannies is moonlighting for the night.
  14. the most vicious airplane spin I have seen. A legit false finish. Well I never.
  15. so not following the logic on Arrow. Yep, he's recruited Merlin, makes sense. Nyssa, not quite, but OK, stretch belief slightly. Why on earth Slade rather than Barry/Supergirl/Legends/Bratva/literally anyone else?
  16. Fair play to Orton. Whenever he's taken a shitkicking or a monster bump, it's looked vicious and generally meant something along the way (Lesnar mauling, Foley match at Backlash with the tacks, numerous RKO on the table related bumps, that over the top rope bump from HHH that legitimately fucked him up)
  17. At a guess, Orton retains by screwy finish/standing tall~! ending shot and then loses it in nefarious circumstances in a gimmick match at the next Smackdown PPV.
  18. Jimmy Jacobs Jimmy Rave Jimmy Yang Jimmy Snuka Jimmy Del Ray Jimmy Hart Jimmy Valiant Jimmy Garvin Of course, Little Jimmy. Which is worse?
  19. I spose it depends on what story you want to tell better. Shawn costing Diesel the MITB by accidentally super kicking him instead of Bret works well, but doesn't really change much from what was a perfectly explained story to begin with. On the other hand, I'm not sure Owen was really ever a threat to Bret, wins KOTR, has the Anvil help him win MITB, narrowly loses the cage match, but takes advantage of Bret's fighting champion persona and constantly making appearances at ringside etc. Survivor Series probably works better if his parents don't give in and throw in the towel, use the '96 Survivor Series finish a few years early, fluke roll up rebounding off the turnbuckle, Bret narrowly wins a miracle against Backlund....Owen cashes in instead. Then Diesel beats him in 30 seconds instead.
  20. Davey Boy Smith in 95 or 96 to give him another blown title shot perhaps. I'd have had Owen in 94
