Spontaneous Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Seems like that Raw is set to be a supershow. Interesting to see who he will face this year, the card seems to still be falling into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafkonia Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Back in the days of kayabe, how did wrestlers go about training new wrestlers? I'm sure it was standard to do a lot of stretching of new trainees at the start, to weed people out and to maintain the illusion. At what point would they pull back the curtain?

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I think you're reaching in defense of someone when one of your arguments is "it's okay when Cena does". You skipped over 5 pages and plucked out a single line and then didn't do much with it. I'm not sure you're built for this. Come back to me when you want to counter one of my arguments and have a serious conversation about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorman Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 For all of Punk's talent, he does seem like a very whiny, difficult person to be around. I'm not at all surprised many people in WWE are glad to see the back of him, or coming out of the woodwork to trash him. The man does have this hilarious ability to make everyone he meets into a supporting character in the Saga of People Who Fucked Over Phil Brooks. The Rock...stealing all his main event glory, practically spitting in his face! The Miz....stealing the main event spot at WrestleMania 27, practically spitting in his face! People in management getting pissed at his girlfriend for being rude to a visiting celebrity, practically spitting in his face! Vince putting him against Triple H at WrestleMania XXX, practically spitting in his face! Not since Livia Soprano has anyone wandered around with such a sense of undeserved martyrdom. I've got it! It was Damien Sandow --- "He stole my 'I'm a martyr' gimmick." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I used Cena as an example of someone who has received a pass for laughing off his losses. I am fully aware that Cena has received his fair share of criticism over the years but this is the only wrestling board I am currently reading and this also happens to be a place where Cena is very popular. Which is great.. I am not a huge Cena fan but I do enjoy a lot of his work. With that said, I don't recall anyone on here getting on him for showing up his opponents after he's been defeated. This was only a small part of the argument. When Triple H attacks the tag champions... people hate it. When The Rock defeats the Dudleys, that's fine. When CM Punk defeats The Shield 3 on 1, that's fine... There are levels to this shit. I'm not attempting to make Triple H appear to be something he isn't.. I'm pointing out inconsistencies in posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 What are the odds that at some point in 2014 we'll see Youtube video of some wrestling nerd proposing to the girl of his dreams (who shares his interest) and her accepting Daniel Bryan-style? Actually, if a video of a gay couple doing that went viral, would WWE find a way to exploit it or would they ignore it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffSnackwell Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 To be fair Benoit and Batista’s wins over Triple H were greatly enhanced and came off as much bigger deals precisely because of all those perceived burials (Jericho, Booker T, RVD, "fuck you and your bogus title too, rookie bitch Brock, I’m pulling Big Gold out of my ass and declaring myself real champ." ) and constant dickish feud-deciding blowoff match wins (Austin, Angle, Kane) that had bolstered him during that five-year stretch. Unless I’m misremembering everybody was also sure he was going over Cena at WM XXII….also precisely because all those big matches and feuds he went over in previously up to that point. So when you look at it that way it made it a much bigger deal when guys did decisively go over Triple H and in some strange way justified that he hadn’t dropped the belt to Booker T or RVD and shit on Goldberg and his profitability with his lame sledgehammer shot at Summerslam that one time. Of course, by now semi-retired Triple H going over the likes of Punk and Brock is just flatout ego-stroking rubbish on his part. It’s TNA Champ Jeff Jarrett type dread heat where no one wants to see the knob go over and it serves absolutely no purpose other than to remind you what a bona fide hot shit big shot the Game always has been and always will be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I liked Jarrett winning because I found the crying of TNA fans to be hilarious. It's like dude we are bad off enough being big enough dorks to like wrestling and those guys can't even be cool enough to like a real promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Weird how scarcely the WWF used 2/3 falls matches. Had a heap for the tag titles in the late 80s between the Harts, Demos, Rougeaus, Brainbusters, etc. Not another one till 1993 (Jannetty vs. Doink on RAW), then not another one till 1998 (HHH vs. Rock at Fully Loaded).

Reed Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 So, all this talk of Jarrett's new promotion trying to get TNA's deal on Spike in the autumn (effectively ending TNA) makes me realize that Jeff is now Vince McMahon circa 2002.

Morbidly obese, toothless, ugly pasty dudes wearing wolf shirts & talking with speech impediments. I'm still trying to understand the anatomy of how his stomach moves up and down like that. Like, it keeps folding the wolf in half. But it shouldn't move up like that right? It should sag, maybe...maybe move right to left. But it seems to be reacting like the pink slime in GHOSTBUSTERS 2. There's this extra muscle that keeps engaging to flip it upward like that. I keep trying to do it myself and I can't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
