CSC Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Man, you all are crazy - Orton/Edge was awesome. It was like the longest "They Live" fight ever and I was hooked on every second of it. Edge's elbow off the chainlink ceiling of the boardroom was the move of the weekend. Edited April 7, 2020 by CSC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it one of those douchenozzle jerseys with "RUTH 3" on the back? Even better if so. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Moose Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 15 hours ago, RIShane said: Some good analysis of Charlotte/Rhea and it standing out by their making every move feel like a legitimate struggle rather than something more choreographed. I’ve noticed this quality before in Charlotte’s work with Ronda and Asuka, but combining it with all that relentless limb work was masterful, and I did not know Rhea was so good at selling. This is something we gave her praise for in the second MYC - a seemingly-intuitive sense of how to scale her selling (off balance from some spinny Catanzaro stuff rather than completely loopy) and keep herself busy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was an authentic-looking, old-timey jersey with a "3" on the back. Although I like your idea, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 So the newz sites are reporting that Rhea is going back to Australia this week as her US visa is expiring - and given the "current circumstances" right now - that might have played a role in the decision for her to drop the belt.

I'm coming around to this line of thought. I know there's not a lot of enthusiasm for Edge or Orton on this board, but I was shocked by the overwhelming negativity here. It was a nice change of pace from the other empty arena matches. And similar to what someone said regarding the boneyard match, it's easier to enjoy plodding backstage brawling knowing there isn't a paying audience sitting on their hands staring at a screen. Of course it was too long and on the melodramatic side, so there are clear knocks against it. But on the whole, I was fine with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I’d think athletes might be one of the exceptions, especially in international sports (which in the US is prob everything but the nfl). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Went back and watched Cesaro/Gulak because it's Cesaro/Gulak. Did I not catch anyone here mention that Cesaro FINALLY got to use the UFO in WWE? And not only, that he actually won with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I think somebody posted a gif of it in the gif thread now that I think of it. Anyway, he did it. And Gulak jumped right off the top facefirst into Cesaro's shoulder, too. That wasn't no damn uppercut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Who's the likeliest candidate to be even up the teams for Bryan/Gulak vs. Sami/Cesaro/Nak? In a normal timeline, this would be the ideal spot for an NXT call up. It would probably be Gargano or Ciampa. It would be the perfect spot for Riddle or Dunne if they weren't tag champs. Roddy or Oney would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Chad Gable not Shorty G would be a great 3rd addition. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I think using the weight set was a bad idea, but just my two cents. I don't think you should ever ban choking spots from a wrestling match. I mean you have submission holds that are basically designed to render your opponents unconscious and deprive their bodies or brains of oxygen and make them pass out.

The Natural Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 One of my favourite things about WrestleMania is seeing the bigger entrances on the Grandest Stage of All and the new ring gear wrestlers wear. Obviously the former wasn't happening with the move to the WWE Performance Centre. I thought the latter was disappointing with the exception of The Undertaker as a hybrid Dead Man/Biker Taker, Kevin Owens carrying on the KO Mania shirts, Seth Rollins coat and Bayley's gear with the big crosses over her former smiley logo.

Don't forget Kairi's fancy pirate outfit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
