Curt McGirt Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 where Roman Misawa'd him in the back of the head That looked great, but it should have been an immediate kill on Rollins and wasn't so it really wasn't. Reigns looks good on offense but every time he's selling I just sit there thinking about how hard he's gonna die against Brock. The killer interview at the start didn't help ("I'm gonna fuck up Roman Reigns. Peace out."). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hey guys, maybe Bryan knows something about his neck that we don't? Just sayin'... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hey guys, maybe Bryan knows something about his neck that we don't? Just sayin'... Because wrestlers are always such a good judge of their own health? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Even if he was perfectly 100% pristinely healthy, guys shouldn't be landing on their heads like that regardless. It's stupid no matter what your condition is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I am rapidly approaching the point where I no longer want to see Bryan wrestle, it's getting close to late-stage Foley. I don't know why Bryan seems to have an unyielding desire to require a feeding tube but he does. Maybe he's trying to prove a point but this is like the 3rd time in as many weeks he's taken a bump right on his head and it's ridiculous and it's uncomfortable to watch. I would highly recommend not watching that ladder match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'm really hoping that the other 6 guys do all the crazy bumps and that someone tells Bryan not to cripple himself on the biggest show of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 That Fujiwara armbar/face lock sub (there's got to be a name for that; it rules because it seems so simple). Well Alex Shelley calls it the Border City Stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbie Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 That opening to the Brie vs Paige was ace. Brie tried to disrespect an already pissed da fuck off Paige, so she got speared to the floor and tossed around for her troubles. Not sure if putting a chin lock on Paige works because she's pretty unsympathetic, but the rest of the action was fast paced and they looked like they wanted to beat the shit out of each other. The ending was Brie hitting her finisher she only uses on jobbers and thinking it would work on Paige worked out good too. I want to see them go 10 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All four women are doing their part to get this Mania match over. Even AJ seems a little less disinterested than usual lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Ambrose and Harper had a damn fine match with Harper doing some stuff I've never seen before, like tossing Dean into the second buckle face first and that Fujiwara armbar/face lock sub (there's got to be a name for that; it rules because it seems so simple). He did both in the match against Bryan a week or two ago. Guessing he took the turnbuckle thing from Johnny Gargano, who does it just about every match.

NikoBaltimore Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It's easy for AJ to be more interested in this feud as it seems to have a story to actually latch onto. They just might get a decent chance for this WM match. That was a damn fine gauntlet match. Harper needs to use that sumbission more often. I must have watch Bryan submit Harper at least a few times, it was so damn good. And Bryan/Ziggler was pretty damn good as well. SD gets pretty disregarded a lot of times, but it was a really fun show thanks to the gauntlet. The main event was good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yeah, I missed the Bryan/Harper match from that Raw even though I watched most of the Spanish language replay, so it's all new to me. The submission as a finisher is something that would be great for Harper because you can get a closeup of his crazy facial expressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I was looking for a gif of Regal's super safe half nelson suplex, where the guy basically flips all the way over and lands on his knees safely, even if it looks great, but all I could find was a version of it where Bryan took it right on his head.

Pete Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'm leaning towards the "Bryan knows what he can and can't get away with regarding his neck" camp, but all the same... jeez Louise. Here I thought he'd do the smoke-and-mirrors to work a safer style. That trios match was super-fun while it lasted. Matadores looked like stars out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 That thing is the ultimate wrestling move. It looks great. It "FEELS" great, in part because it plays upon the caveat of both Regal and the idea of the half nelson suplex and because it looks so big with its wide sweeping motion that plays to the last row, but it's super safe relatively.

MGFanJay Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Goddamn that whole gauntlet was fun. It actually treated the title seriously, and hopefully that's the direction they go with from now until WM...and then after that, but I'm not holding my breath. J and J Security ACTUALLY BEING A SECURITY TEAM rules. I'm going to just go with a theory though that everyone involved was just hired by Noble to make himself feel like a big deal. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/03/wwe-smackdown-3-19-15.html Screens - "Okay, so we need THE MOST ASIAN FONT EVER!" http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/ddzyf1rrsv2lnh5b3kswl44edq2m49wh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the same way about the Rikishi Driver. Super-nasty looking (no one ever complained that the 400-pound dude's SITOUT PILEDRIVER didn't look hurty enough) yet he had plenty of cushioning and never hurt anyone with it to the best of my memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 All the Crossface moves look painful: Daniel Bryan's, Sasha Banks and Luke Harper's. Agree with Curt McGee that Harper should use it as his submission finish and Matt D on William Regal's Half Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Bloody hell. Looking at this a few times, it looks like his hands/arms took the brunt of it and he barely got his forehead to make contact. It still hurts I'm sure and it's advisable to not tempt fate with these. But unless I'm way off base it doesn't seem as bad as it was when first watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
