Skeeball Wizard Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 So according to WWE.com, Ambrose refused medical attention and is "missing". They're really firing on all cylinders w Dean Ambrose right now, and they really seem to get his character. That is perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 When Rollins got water dumped on him, I was bummed. I thought they were gonna turn Ambrose into a prankster or something instead of going for blood. And the one-liner was great, but still too quippy, he should be killing Seth. But then he tossed the bucket and attacked and I felt had for ever doubting Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The line worked, but in that circumstance I would have put the bucket over Rollins' head and beat the crap out of him then instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I loved the line by Ambrose, then throwing the bucket in his face to lead into the attack. Brilliant! Ambrose and Rollins main eventing Raw. It's a crazy new world we live in, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Jones Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I thought the line worked better, it made the bucket to the face that much more surprising. Man did Rollins take that right in the mush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbie Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Does nostalgia work on wrestling fans in a profitable way? There's been a ton of it the last few years and I was just wondering. The whole WWE2k15 is build around Sting. It's 2014.. Anyone who was going to get the game would've gotten it anyway and anyone who is still a Sting fan this many years later is already a hardcore wrestling fan. idk. It's just weird to me.

BEN! Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Chokes that compress the airway and restrict the flow of air into the body are illegal. (i.e. Daniel Bryan strangling Justin Roberts with a tie, Andre The Giant throttling his opponent's throat with his hands, William Regal casually laying his lower leg across his downed opponent's throat while conversing with the referee). Air chokes. Chokes that compress the carotid artery and restrict the flow of blood to the brain are legal. (i.e. sleeper hold, Tazmission, Dragon Sleeper, etc.). Blood chokes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I thought the line worked better, it made the bucket to the face that much more surprising. Man did Rollins take that right in the mush. Don't underestimate the damage a plastic bucket can do. During my backyard wrestling days in high school, I took a plastic clothes hamper to the face. It left me with one hell of a black eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 So what does everyone think of the new WWE title? http://instagram.com/p/r3IRdMgFKH/?modal=true Sorry I couldn't figure out how to embed the pic, I'm not familiar with instagram. I keep going back and forth. It's pretty "futuristic" with the new logo, and I like that it now says "World Heavyweight Champion" (albeit in a tiny, tiny font) but I also miss the belts of yore.

Bustronaut Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I think I'd like it more if the giant black spaces were gold. I've also never been a fan of that logo. (Fun fact, it was conceived and ON AIR within a week.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it interesting that, whereas past championships had a prominent globe on them most of the time, this one does not, instead just having a giant WWE logo. That's some very subtle "WWE = the whole world when it comes to wrestling" conditioning there. Or I'm just trying to read too much into the design as if I were a first-year grad student desperately trying to analyze an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Bray Wyatt should add spitting black mist into his opponents eyes. Imagine that shit running down his beard and looking all nasty in his teeth and on his white pants. If I can't get blood, give me "demon essence." I'm sorry about that. Deep down, I sort of want Bray Wyatt to partially morph into Kevin Sullivan. I need this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The whole "chokes are illegal" went out the door when Tazz came in, and Angle's appeal that the Tazzmission should be made illegal because its a choke was denied. Add in the popularity of the UFC and pro-wrestling adopting the tap out replacing the "I give up" submission, and you get a mix of some chokes "Tazzmission, Rear Naked, Hell's Gate" are legal, which the straight ol' wrap your hands around the throat are not. I still find it odd that the RNC is legal, but ref's check arm position on the Sleeper. The sleeper was originally called a choke hold. But Strangler Lewis said it did not cut off oxygen but cut blood off from the brain. Those other holds fall into that category. Has anybody been keeping up with Del Rio since he returned to Mexico. He went into more detail about his release on some television interviews. Before this is over, WWE will be wishing they had just let the social media douchebag sue them.
