Why are we even debating this? Shaq has already wrestled at WrestleMania. And a lot of you have already forgotten that. The celebrity match is so long over. We are living in a world where one of the biggest box office stars in the world was WWE champion WHILE BEING one of the BIGGEST box office stars in the WORLD. And that gave a minor bump in business. Quit wasting your time arguing over whether WWE gets a mention on Inside the NBA or not. Because that's all it amounts to. But can Shaq throw a decent punch/land a decent dropkick?

The winner of the match gets to have their head shaved and the credit that comes with having raised all that money. I do believe Allison has legit retired from the ring otherwise yeah, that would've worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Sigh....

JCM Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 17 hours ago, Craig H said: I unfortunately missed out a lot of Bryan in ROH and didn't see anything he did in PWG or elsewhere. I mean, I caught some of his ROH run, but I missed out on most or all of him doing the strongman look or being the master of the small package. Comparing what I saw of him in ROH to what I saw of him in WWE, it seems like he went even harder in WWE, doing even riskier and more dangerous shit that I'm guessing he thought he had to do to stand out in a land of giants. Is that a fair assessment, or was the majority of his matches him taking really bad bumps? Matwork is a dirty word on the main roster. You see it with how the women work on the main roster(Bayley taking a Folley bump off the apron against Charlotte for example) and Gallagher killing himself with bumps while showing 2% of his mat ability.

Wyld Samurai Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 When did Bayley do a nestea plunge? Indy Dragon worked more of a strong style... and loved using his head as and battering ram. I think we were all shocked to learn he had to retire due to concussions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she did, and proposed to him in the ring. Maybe they didn't care because it wasn't an ROH or TNA. Im sure that whole thing with WWE being an investor in The Rocks movie about her and the family complicates matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Meltzer said a while ago that she's still got a long recovery path from neck surgery done in October. I wonder how her story with WWE will unfold because she's still only 24 and was pretty good before the injury, if not booked very poorly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt788 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 That UK/205 show looks like a fun time. I am curious to see if they have a women's match planned. UK and 205 have no women wrestlers, but if a UK/205 tour becomes a thing maybe they will get some from NXT. I heard Heidi Lovelace and Kimber Lee got signed by WWE developmental. Maybe they or some other gals could fill the void of having no women wrestlers on that tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Watched the Miz video. How you could have gotten along with him in high school and maybe before that is beyond me. There probably is a reason Bryan and him are so combative beyond the work. Dad taking the piss out of him and getting called on it is fantastic.
