The Wrestling Thread

I'm fine with Orton VS Lesnar. I think it could still be a good match. It's better than getting Lesnar VS Cena or Triple H again.

---

I guess my worry is they'll put on a slow match and it won't be fun. I like both of these guys, so if they're gonna face each other, I really hope it's good cause they haven't wrestled each other since 2002

---

I'm kind of burnt out with Brock. His suplex city shtick got old quite fast for me, yeah the decimation of Cena was great but man was the Ambrose match at Mania a huge letdown. I don't think Orton and Brock can put on a good match that'll excite me personally but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Orton - Lesnar sounds like a match that would have been amazing in about 2005.

---

The brand split is this Tuesday. Here's my prediction:

RAW: MOSTLY contains most of the the newer 2008-present stars and NXT stars. Roman Reigns, maybe Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Apollo Crews, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Sheamus, etc. This show will focus on Superstars putting up spectacular Matches and making the 3-hour-show worthy. The women's division could also maybe be held here. There isn't enough women to split them between the 2 brands. Also maybe the Ascension and Apollo Crews could finally get pushes, and we could see the Shield reunite one more time.

SMACKDOWN: MOSTLY contains the stars whose been wrestling for quite some years (REGARDLESS if they wrestled in WWE or not), and can still wrestle to this day, and also most of the alumni could return to this brand too. I'm talkin' John Cena, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Big Show, Mark Henry, Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin, Jeff Hardy, etc. This show will focus on nostalgia and basically a showcase for legends who are still in shape to this day. Also the World Heavyweight Championship would be reinstated here. LOLCENAWINS

The Tag Team Division is kinda difficult to predict where to go.... there ARE so much tag teams too. Hmm...maybe they could split the tag teams between the two shows, and bring back the WORLD Tag Team Championship title. Either that or make all of the Tag Teams free agents and just have them all fighting for ONE Tag Team Championship title.

---

So Mick Foley and Daniel Bryan are the GMs for Raw and Smackdown respectively. That's neat. Hopefully they get to do stuff and aren't just there to be figure heads.

---

Goddamn what a stupid finish that title match was. They announce the match was a draw ONCE THE SHOW IS OFF THE AIR. Fucking really? Now 90% of people are actually going to think Rollins is the champion going into the match. Morons.

---

The Rosters so far:

RAW

Big E Langston
Big Show
Brock Lesnar
Cesaro
Charlotte
Chris Jericho
Colin Cassidy
Enzo Amore
Finn Balor
Karl Anderson
Kevin Owens
Kofi Kingston
Lana
Luke Gallows
Neville
Nia Jax
Roman Reigns
Rusev
Sami Zayn
Sasha Banks
Seth Rollins
Sheamus
Xavier Woods

Smackdown

AJ Styles
Alberto Del Rio
Baron Corbin
Becky Lynch
Braun Strowman
Bray Wyatt
Chad Gable
Dean Ambrose
Dolph Ziggler
Erick Rowan
Jason Jordan
John Cena
Maryse
The Miz
Natalya
Randy Orton

RAW has fucking Charlotte and the fucking New Day, but Smackdown has the FUCKING Miz. However, RAW has Finn Balor and Roman Reigns, but Smackdown has Randy Orton, Baron Corbin, the Wyatt Family, and AMERICAN ALPHA! This was a hard decision, but I think I'll be enjoying Smackdown more.

---

If Smackdown could trade Corbin for Owens, it would be perfect. Then I could watch Smackdown and never have to look at Raw.

---

Disappointed with no Nakamura, but the show to watch is definitely SmackDown right now. Not watching a show where Reigns just stomps everyone and Bork does Bork shit.

---

Why did RAW have more picks than Smackdown? Is that just arbitrary favoritism or did a Smackdown representative lost a match?

The newz sites are not mentioning why, from what I've seen.

---

Because RAW is a three hour show while SmackDown is two.

It was stupid.

---

Wow. How arbitrary indeed, but understandable. Watch them not use some of the midcard and the lower-card. I'm not optimistic about this the same way they first went 3-hours.

But then again, WWE have reportedly been contacting former wrestlers like Jimmy Wang Yang and Curt Hawkins to help beef up Smackdown.

---

I think they might be planning some kind of "legends return" with all of them, or at least the majority, going to Smackdown.

I also think that not drafting Nakamura yet is a wise move, as good as a showman he is, he doesn't have the mic skills to win over the average audience.

Battleground 2016 was actually a great show. Yes, BATTLEGROUND was a good PPV for the first time! 2013 was bad (Rhodes vs the Shield was the only good match), 2014 was bad (Usos vs Wyatts was the only good match), and 2015 was bad (Cena vs Owens was the only good match).

Pre Show:

Match: Something
Result: Breezango beat the Usos.
Rating: 6/10
My comment: Atleast the Usos didn't bury another tag team, and they're all talented wrestlers.

Main Show:

Match: Sasha Banks and ??? vs. Charlotte and Dana Brooke
Result: BAYLEY was Sasha's partner and they DEFEATED CHARLOTTE AND DANA BROOKE!!!
Rating: 10/10 - IGN totally forgetting that Dana Brooke appeared
My comment: Seriously, all 4 women put up a great match.

Match: The New Day vs. The Wyatt Family
Result: THE WYATT FAMILY WINS!!!
Rating: ANOTHER 10/10 - IGN
My comment: Things are going my way on this PPV!

Match: Zack Ryder vs. Zangief for the USA Championship
Result: LOLRUSEVWINS; followed by Mojo Rowley debuting and running towards Rusev.
Rating: 5/10
My comment: The last time I remembered those two fighting, Rusev won within 15 seconds. Also welcome to the roster, Mojo Rowley! I didn't think you'd ever make it here!

Match: Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens
Result: Zayn finally wins, for the fucking first time in millenniums.
Rating: 10/10; Great Match!
My comment: They honestly should've hugged or shook hands after that match.

Match: Becky Lynch vs. Natalya
Result: Why the fuck would Becky Lynch win a match? Her job, just like Curt Hawkins and Heath Slater, is to lose every match for money. That's what jobbers fo lyfe do.
Rating: 1/10
My comment: Goodness, my plate of Chicken, Corn Bread, and Baked Beans was delicious! I didn't need any hot sauce for the chicken either. My sister nailed the corn bread, too! Holy shit, the baked beans were even top notch. There was even shreaded hamburger meat in the baked beans too! I haven't had such a good dinner in a long-OH let's stick with WWE. Yeah, this match was so bad, I barely payed attention. MOVING ON.

Match: Darren Backlund vs. The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship
Result: The crowd continues showing no reactions to the Miz. There was also a double count out after Maryse pulled the "HAHAHAHA I slapped you and you can't hit me because it's PG TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL" card on Bob Backlund, then Darren Young and the Miz were both on the mat for the double count out.
Rating: Miz appearance. Shitty result. 0/10
My comment: Spare me a rope.

Match: John Sheena and Rambo Amore and Big Ass Colin Assidy vs. the Bullet Club
Result: After a (surprisingly) good match, the faces won. John Cena actually deserved that win.
Rating: 8/10
My comment: *silently shrugs*

Segment: Spooky Evil Chris Jericho interviews Randy Orton on the Highlight Reel.
Result: Randy Orton took a shot on Brock Lesnar taking steroids, and Chris Jericho was being the typical twat he is, and ended up getting RKO'd.
Rating: 9/10
My comment: Jericho deserved that, welcome back Randy Orton.

Match: Crazy Taxi vs. the worthy new Poster Boy vs. Sell Out for the WWE Championship
Result: Ambrose wins! GREAT MATCH.
Rating: 10/10 - Game Spot
My comment: Well done, Creative Team, well done. We didn't want anyone whining due to my current favorite wrestler Roman Reigns winning, and I CERTAINLY didn't want Seth Rollins winning either.

Overall rating: 8/10. Most of the show amazed me! Also shout out to the few friends I have on this site. You were all awesome. Shout out to everyone else, because I hate nobody. I'm not making sense LMAO bye.
