  1. What?! Mickie is awesome. She was great as a psycho heel and got over and then as a face she always received the most reaction of anyone. I loved her in tag matches, she'd get the hot tag, come in like a house of fire and the audience actually gave a crap..

     

    I hope they sign her back.

     

    She could not have cared less towards the end of her run. She got lazy and refused to adapt to the lesser experienced girls. Hell, there was that one match with Gail that was way worst than anything you could think of involving the current women.

     

     

    I think people are too hard on the divas. AJ is getting all these praise because she was actually given more than 90 seconds in the last 2 years to show what she can do. Not saying the likes of Rosa Mendes or whoever will make magic if given 10 minutes, but to be given only 90 seconds to do your thing, have your opponent do her thing, then finish has never helped anyone.

     

     

    Probably has something to do with the number of Divas who could botch three moves in 90 seconds and the few who could call that an above-average outing.

     

     

    Okay. So women aren't as athletic as the men. But when the women who know how to do a move thinks the other broad can take it, then you got problems. And I hate when people say "well, that isn't there fault most of the women can't wrestle." Nah. Good workers work around the other person's strengths and weaknesses.

     

    Naomi would be amazing if she didn't have to work a match against someone else.

  2. Mah two favorite promos of the last few years:

     

     

    You watch 4:00 on with anyone who isn't some jaded prick, they are going to be screaming for Cena to hit Barrett back to England. I watched it with my grandma before she died and she was all like "I would've kicked his ass! No job is worth taking that stuff!"

     

     

    And fuck you, some little kid screaming "NEVER GIVE UP!" and Cena's response is pro wrestling to me. (Sorry Wrestling Bear) It was also the last Piper's Pit to feel organic and special. idk But Piper probably wasn't hammered before this promo.

  3.  

    Can anyone point to a Davey Richards comedy match?

    When people ask why I think indy wrestling is stupid, I link to this. Of course they get mad, but what can I do?

     

     

    I, too haven't been expose to much Richards. I remember watching a clip of him and some other joker was supposed to be a 'press conference' for the ROH deal on Sinclair. Both guys had trouble looking at the camera, one of them was prolly stoned, and I rather watch Alicia Fox try to talk. I hope someone was slapped for that.

    That or the divas can't help it that ones who have gotten the "good" label since Trish left have been absolutely terrible. Beth tried to do moves with chicks that didn't know what the fuck she was doing. Nattie only has one thing to identify her and she still has trouble setting up the sharpshooter. Michelle was a charisma-less MOVEZ machine. Mickie was ugh. Melina was one dimensional.

  5. Prolly. But I don't get the point in trying to argue logic in pro wrestling. The logic has always been baffling if you really think about it.Unless you are wrestling a bear. Then everyone is happy.

    If only a wrestling bear could do a missile dropkick...*sigh*
    Idk. I am more inclined to the visual to a bunch of jobbers trying to swim up stream only to be Polish hammered to death
  6. I like how it's only the adults who think of the real life moral consequences of a fake tv show that included some asshole running around in checkerboard/rainbow tassels who happened to wear sunglasses in a dark arena while getting bugged eye towards anyone who looked at his woman..

     

    His woman that didn't say much about anything, which is really what makes the show fake.

  7. As terrible as a GM as Ireland has been, I can't find it in my heart to hate the guy after he asked Dez Bryant if he momma was a ho. That is some honesty for you.

     

     

    I still don't really know what is going on with Martin and such, but maybe it is a good thing this came out so early in his career. A lot of the talk has been about a "culture change." If that's the case, I highly doubt the Phins are the only fucked up team in the league. It's just that Martin situation brought attention to it.

     

    Who am I kidding, he is going to have a hard time convincing a team to sign him.

  8. Watched the show this week..

     

    - idk I am just not sold on the Wyatt act yet. The two big fucks are doing too much. And for a couple of guys who wears dirty clothes, they sure look like they wash their asses after every show. Someone make them roll around in some mud or something before the show. idk, it just comes across as too dated. This kind of act is like early 90's stuff. That being said, Jebus, is Titus full of so much potential as a babyface that is actually likable. The only thing harder to find than a decent commentator these days is a babyface you want to root for. Fuck you guys rooting for a Ziggles big push, give it to Titus. The guy actually has presence. You can't fake having or be taught how to have presence.

     

    - I thought the Divas started off cool. Then it kinda went too long and it slowly started to fall apart. Nikki is the charisma part of the Bellas and is much more athletic than Brie. But it is Brie that obviously cares a lot more. The crowd seemed into it for what it's worth. idk Nikki's body is like perfect, tho.

     

    - The Uso's acting like dicks to those other guys was awesome. I thought the match was too long and it was weird that they were trying to make Camacho bigger than he is. The Uso's dwarfed him. And there's something off about a little guy doing power moves to me.

     

    - Alex Riley is the worst.

  9. Jody Hamilton tells a great story about how nobody wanted to fight the bear the booker had brought in because he'd already bitten off some fingers several times. Don Leo Jonathan volunteered. The end result was that the bear was scared shitless whenever he saw Jonathan again. The trainer was in the ring with the bear and Jonathan snuck up to the ring behind them. He leapt over the ropes, the bear turned around and saw Jonathan, and jumped out of the ring, dragging his handler along.

    Random picture because thread:

    You ended such a great story with a pic of a X Box? So disappointing.
  10. A worst haircut in wrestling discussion is not complete without mentioning Rocky Maivia's poodle perm and Tyson Kidd's forelock or whatever the hell it was called.

    I fucking swear I wanted to be the shit out of Kidd each time I saw that fucking stupid haircut. But it was even more terrifying when he was bald gor a bit. He looked like some punk trying to impress a bunch of Neo Nazis. He is just one ugly guy.

  11. Looks like no THAD tomorrow, so. I'm dropping any hopes for an upset since TUEL TIME will probably go worse for the Bills than TOOL TIME usually did for Tim Allen.

    Goddamnit, each time I see THAD my head thinks "the" is in front of it and I am sorely disappointed. :-(
  12. I guess I will be the indifferent one towards Henry. I don't think he is the end all, be all. Yet I don't think that he is some worthless slug. I do likr the camera shot of his fucking huge back/head and how his "do this move to everyone in the ring when he enters the Rumble spot is headbutts for everyone. But I never got the vibe that he is a guy I want go see move of. Maybe because his stop and go pushes are because he can't last more than a month without getting hurt. Just feels like a watse of a spot that someone else can use.

  13. Is it possible that booking also hurts? I mean in 2010, Nexus was a bunch of nobies but the booking wasn't confusing and protected them. No one got exposed for being worst than they are and each guy (even Otunga and Young) were treated like they were important.

    If you have a character built around "who the fuck are you?" Which includes someone on air saying it, it shouldn't be a surprise when viewers think the same think.
