This stuff is interesting. So. Speaking of unnecessary words.) http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/28599-your-own-criteria/ This was very early into the proceedings over on PWO. You can tell from the level of excitement. There's a thread specifically on GMT around the end of it and it's more interesting as a relic of how burnt out everyone had become than anything else. There's more interesting stuff to dig through for you in this one, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. Eddie Guerrero did it right. But he was definitely the MVP last night. Seth's flame tights were more Jake Roberts than Eddie Guerrero. Asuka and Nakamura, for that matter, shouldn't be cutting long promos, but there's a 70 year old sociopath with a fondness for steroids, cocaine, and Red Bull that is amused by those whose first language isn't English speaking English. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his promos more than anything. I mean, nobody is good at a twenty minute promo, but he was the all-time worst at it. I mean, he's a terrible three minute promo. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, isn't that "killer" spelled backwards? And that, ladies and germs, is my most esoteric comment of the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibata Is My Homie Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 1 hour ago, bink_winkleman said: Oh yeah, that too - Did not like the Asuke promo. Don't do that. I actually get a kick out of Nak on the mic when it's short enough, but Asuke should just maybe be giving a threat or two, tops. They should do Asuka/Rousey with Heyman managing Rousey. Have Heyman turn on Rousey and become Asuka's mouthpiece. Gets Asuka over as a heel and Rousey over as a face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehabilitated Rick Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Asuka should limit her English but speak primarily Japanese especially when she's in battle mode. You could tell she was struggling out there which I can only imagine was a tester to see if she was comfortable enough in her English going forward. I fear for Kairi on the main roster. That was the best Shawn Michaels cosplay I've seen in years, bravo Seth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cool to shout out in the ring a time or two, but eh. Agreed never got that, just makes me think of when Shane O Mac threatened to put his hands on AJ or Owens in the Summerslam build last year.

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I thought HHH/Rollins was the second best match on the Mania card live, seriously underrated match that toned down both guys' propensity to do pointless shit. Beyond that, he falls into that Shane Douglas/Gangrel/X-Pac guy playing a lame bad guy who makes me suspend disbelief for all the wrong reasons. Please stop smiling arrogantly and laughing for no reason and go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 If you cut 5-7 minutes out of HHH-Rollins at Mania, it's a fantastic match. But they didn't, so it's not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Has there ever been a simpler person to book on any random RAW than Asuka should be right now? 1) Music hits...silently dance and smile 2) Silently beat the shit out of someone 3) Get threatened by heel stable 4) silently refuse to back down 5) silently beat the shit out of the heel stable 6) silently dance and smile It takes an amazing effort to fuck that up. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kairi supposedly speaks better English. I think Asuka is actually supposed to be the worst English speaker out of their current Japanese talent. Why they thought it was a good idea to have her do a promo with more than a couple of lines of English I have no idea. Hopefully they never do it again.
