APRIL 2022 WRESTLING DISCUSSION


Recommended Posts

The InDex wedding was the NXT finale as far as I'm concerned.

Shaw would probably be good in Impact. Dakota and Bivens are the only ones who really make sense for AEW. Dakota would be great to help get new-ROH off the ground with an occasional tour of AEW. Bivens fits in easily because he doesn't take up ring time and lots of people there could use a mouthpiece. Whoever said him and Jade Cargill is dead-on. He could poach Hobbs from Tazz too.

I hardly ever watch WWE beyond YouTube clips admittedly, and yeah I get he is 38, but no, I don't really understand how WWE couldn't squeeze another year or two out of Lumis.

Fuck it Tone, bring him in with Gargano, put him in the JAS or just stick him in Chaos Project or something.

Its more or less in line with how he has been about Vince for years now. Not sure what the surprise is.

Oh, I knew he was really negative about Vince and WWE. 

I didn't think he would take the rhetorical "Vince had a horrible childhood and his mother was a prostitute... Fuck him, LOL!" - approach. 

Then again, Ryback never seemed to be particularly bright.

I’ve been going on a 06 Danielson marathon this past week. Somewhat out of order, but unplanned fun. Vs Kenta @ GBHV, vs Nigel McGuiness @ Unified, vs Samoa Joe @ Fight of the Century. I love that title run and each of these matches.

What a fucking waste of Stokely's talent. Dude will hopefully thrive in AEW. Plus they GOTTA get Dakota Kai. 

Yeah, anyone who would have wanted him for the main roster is crazy! What would have been the chances of him being used any way good? Let's give him a mute gimmick! "That's it! Ok, you never speak. Not a single vowel, ever!"

They'd give him a gimmick where he'd be like that one episode of The Office where Kevin speaks like a caveman in order to eliminate unnecessary words and save time.

In 1998, WWF had Mosh and Trasher as the unsanctioned Tag Team Champions of the Universe, (Shane Mcmahon called the belts the intergalactic titles)and they wore those toy foam belts. Then they dropped the belts to the Oddities.

Weird.

For WWE, Meltzer said there will be main roster cuts. 

I was going to make a joke about phone signal in Nigeria, but I checked and Apollo actually has something of a Main Event winning streak recently. Still, I think it's not hard to get a read on who might be getting a call. 

- Maybe she is injured, but Doudrop hasn't wrestled in April according to Cagematch. 

- Nikki A.S.H was on Main Event this week, but has been barely used in a couple of months

- Gulak is getting the 'Billie Kay' push

- T-Bar lol.

- Fabian Aichner hasn't had a name change

- Hurt Business is kind of sad at this point.

- I'm thinking Viking Raiders stay because they'd probably be happy to go back to being War Machine at this point

- I'm thinking Los Lotharios are kept around, but they've not been featured much recently

- Roode is 45

- They don't seem that interested in doing anything with Shotzi

I'd say; in that gif, he's only saying "wind sock."

Even if Dakota Kai goes to AEW, it's become a problem that the women only get booked on one match per Dynamite or Rampage.

2006 is the best year of Bryan Danielson's career defending the ROH World Championship (he's also the best ROH World Champion in ROH history). 

Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Hero. ROH Hell Freezes Over.

Bryan Danielson vs. AJ Styles. ROH Dissension.

Bryan Danielson vs. Jimmy Rave. ROH Fourth Anniversary Show.

Bryan Danielson vs. Alex Shelley. ROH Arena Warfare.

Bryan Danielson vs. Roderick Strong. ROH Supercard of Honour.

Bryan Danielson vs. Lance Storm. ROH Better than our Best.

ROH vs. CZW Cage of Death gets my vote as best ROH match ever. My MOTY. Gave it *****.

Bryan Danielson vs. Samoa Joe. ROH Fight of the Century.

Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness at ROH Unified but I've never liked it to the extent most do. The stupid headbutts into the ring post and bashing heads in the ring.

Bryan Danielson vs. KENTA. ROH Glory by Honor V - Night 2. *****. My 2006 MOTY runner up to COD.

Bryan Danielson vs. Homicide. ROH Final Battle.

---

I've never seen the Broadway matches between Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson vs. Colt Cabana.

@Octopus: I assume you've read Bryan Danielson's autobiography? It's the best wrestling book ever and he goes in depth about his Ring of Honour World Championship run. Danielson regrets the Chris Hero match I mentioned wishing he'd do it differently.

I know this should probably go in the indie thread, but if you can find a copy of the DEFY show that aired on Pluto TV live tonight watch it. Moxley vs Tom Lawlor was a beautiful blood soaked brawl.

JFC you weren't kidding. Everytime Mox put the bulldog choke on I saw ARTERIAL SPURTING. Lawlor saw how Yuta bladed and said hold my beer.
