Victator Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Quote Sabu driving around in an RV, smearing hotel walls in shit, and still doing what he's done since he started his career in and out of the ring has to be up there. That was a lie told by former jobber, current Ryback sycophant Pat Buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 And I'm sure that if you asked Ryback, it was his idea for Sabu to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Oddly enough, I just watched the Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk match from Money in the Bank. I never saw that match and totally forgot about the angle with AJ Lee. I sat there just not liking anything I was seeing, wondering why couldn't they just let these two have a regular match like they had some months prior. Why involve the weapons and make it a shitty garbage match? Involving AJ also felt really contrived. I'm not sure how I missed the match way back then, but I didn't really miss much. Anyway, weird coincidence for me with watching this and then finding out AJ's book came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read that he did a 450 splash (Don't know if he hit or missed the move), felt sore afterwards, got to the locker-room and threw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kronos Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Confession Time: I seem to have very recently developed extreme discomfort at seeing wrestlers do dangerous moves. (I am talking seriously dangerous, like head-drops or Claudio's knee at Mania - though that was an accident.) I don't know what started it, but it's definitely recent. And it's causing me to not be able to enjoy basically anything except maybe Mexico from 2000s forward. [Especially sucks because I was about to start on a watch/re-watch project of 90's All Japan.] Obviously no one likes to see someone dropped on their head, etc. But I have always been able to tolerate it. Nowadays, even piledrivers have started making me uncomfortable to watch. I think I can handle the crazy stuff from lucha because they're not aiming for Big Impact. Unless it's a bloody brawl, they're carrying a pretty light touch. Maybe I'm just burned out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It had to be Johnny Ace. He only viewed women as pieces of meat basically, he hired Alicia Fox and Kelly Kelly because he saw them in a swim catalogue. I wonder if the women who hated AJ were the Bellas... basically because she said good things about everyone else who was there at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE had a show a few years ago where "moves to the head" were a no-no. Perhaps you'd enjoy some of this playlist: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I wouldn't count Big E out of a B-Show title run at some point. There are a lot of guys who could enjoy a nice Mark Henry or Christian-type late career push if they stay healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Pushing E while keeping New Day together seems obvious to me, but it has for the last like 8 months. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 If Big E doesn't win either world title within 18-24 months, they done fucked up. I still worry about him being able to tell a dramatic 20+ minute match on his own, but if you put him on a loop with AJ or another top notch in-ring guy, he'll come along. Other than that, he has the look, the charisma, the promos, and the signature offense spots to wow fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I think Big E as world champion with the New Day defending it with Freebird Rules would be tremendous. And it can slowly build towards Kofi getting jealous of Big E and turning on E and Woods and eventually beating E for the Championship and finally getting a world title run. They can get E and the New Day there in 18 months have them win either the IC or US title and defend it with Freebird rules and give them like a 6-8 month run with it. And to plant the seeds for Kofi's eneventual turn have him win the money in the bank but it's stated that any member of the New Day can use it and Big E ends up using it and wins the World title and then 6 months down the road Kofi turns and they build towards Kofi beating E then give Kofi a year place run then he can retire into the Sunset. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I think that could have worked a year ago, but at this point feel like they are past their sell by point. This could be more a personal thing for me, because I find them really irritating now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 You can't Freebird a singles title, can you? Big E could slide into the WHC easily and still be in A New Day. If anything it would give the trio a shot in the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened to me too last fall. It came up from the Sasha/Charlotte series where I was legitimately worried about the well being of both women because they were reaching for moves that were almost beyond their grasp. After that, I was uncomfortable watching big dives (especially after Sasha and Cesaro had pretty bad face plants). Eventually, it passed. When Charlotte did her big twisting moonsault at Mania I was more amazed than worried. But I still wince if I see things like Honma's headbutts to nowhere or a gif of a 90s All Japan head drop. And not in a good way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
