Sammo~! Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Pro wrestling is an inherently dangerous activity and all you can do is a actively try to reduce risks, but you can never fully eliminate them. Even the safest guys can be put down by a freak accident and sometimes the crazy risk takers can go years without hurting themselves or others. But the reality is no one is going to feel physically healthy at the end of their careers and most are likely to have them prematurely shortened, safe or not. (But cool it on the head shots and unnecessary dives plz?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll feel it every day he wakes up and he'll probably be in rough shape later in life like all former wrestlers. It's not like he avoids bumping in his matches. He just generally avoids head drops and gets his hands up on kicks. He's not willing to take that shit and in return, he also doesn't drop people on their heads or hit them really hard. Keep in mind, Miz suffered a brutal concussion in the biggest match of his life and can barely remember any of it. One point of criticism is his complete unwillingness to catch guys on dives. That shit is dangerouuus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 But Bret only had how many years in the business when he wrestled Bad News and the Stomper? He certainly learned from those mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can totally picture Bret going on about this to a cashier at a supermarket checkout. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 If the office really had a problem with getting your hands up, nobody ever bothered to mention that to the Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I don't really have a problem with guys putting their hands up. It's a natural reaction to seeing someone setting up to hit you in the face. It doesn't take me out of the action or make it seem fake, it makes it seem like a guy saw a move coming and wants to block it in some small way. Putting your hands up in front of a steel chair at the last second would still hurt like hell. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'm one week away from declaring that American Alpha are terrible and were completely carried to great matches by the Revival and others. I'm going heel on them. Also, it was so sad seeing Carmella jump out of the entrance and do her shtick to complete apathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Aa came across as a 1 trick pony in NXT and they haven't quite evolved from being so formulaic. Jordan is actually irritating... intriguing ability... but irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I wish Miz knew how to stall a little better. That's the one thing. He should be watching Memphis and Zbyszko. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll never happen, but I can dream. I kind of hate you right now. I mean, not really...but now you've put this idea in my head and it's never going to happen. So now I don't get to see Dash Wilder let Zack Ryder chase him around ringside right into an AA clothesline or Arn and Dawson both hitting guys with spinebusters at the same time. Nope, I was right the first time, I hate you now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The only thing that irritated me about AA was Dawson doing the crying face like it was such a huge win at the end of the match. Then again I haven't seen them in NXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo~! Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I kind of like AA as jock bros who yell "Sick!" all the time. They seem like the perfect foils for the hipster trash that I wish the Vaudevillains were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCM Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 So now people are turning on AA and saying they were carried I've heard it all now. They never had anything less than a good match in NXT including a pretty badass match with green as grass Authors of Pain. I guess that was Ryhno and Corbin carrying them to a great match in the tag classic last year. I can't wait for Asuka to show up and have a few mediocre matches with Carmella and Nattie so people can say she was carried in NXT. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 3 hours ago, MADCAP said: He's an entertainer, not a worker, and somehow Bryan, a guy who worked hard his whole professional life and took his job seriously is a moron and Miz, who was a quasi-reality star, who would get drunk and turn into his imaginary character, and who's life ambition was just to be famous....he's the smart one just because he'll do whatever wwe asks, no matter how degrading it is and because he has a semi-attractive wife. Am I wrong in my summation? You definitely wrong about that Maryse being "semi-attractive" shit... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 1 hour ago, caley said: By the way, if there were anyone who still believed this turned into a shoot, WWE just tweeted a link to "the segment that everyone is talking about". If this had "gone too far" or turned into something they hadn't intended, it would disappear pretty quickly, not be repeatedly brought up by WWE. True but there's the 5% chance it did go beyond what was intended and they are going to run with it anyway because it got people talking. This is a great look for the network too. Talking Smack has almost become must-see TV. Whether it was intended or not, this could be a nice win for the network. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
