/wooo/ - Pro Wrestling

Did Dean ever have any matches in NXT before the Shield? I know he was in FCW but I don't remember him ever having an NXT match before joining the shield. Rollins had a ton, even Roman had 1 or 2

The Nigel

>>17961

I think the closest he came to winning a big match was the ladder match with Sef for the title, and that ended in a fuck finish and nothing came from it. The big theory is he loses these big matches and momentum every time because Vince & creative don't want him more over than Roman. Hell he had to go film that movie and be written off conveniently after he was the most over on the roster and Roman was coming back from exploded guts. He's in a Cesaro position where the crowd absolutely loves the guy, but he keeps getting cut down at the knees because they might be bad for the golden boy.

Also on the lariat, I'm happy he's calmed down a bit on it. Late 2015 he was doing the fucking move like 3-4 times a match.

This week on SmackDown, Ranallo called it the 'Catapault Clothesline'. It's ok I guess.

What's even been happening with TNA lately?

I feel really bad for TNA, even if their product gets good they'll always have the shitty stigma Dixie has given the whole thing.

>>18025

I imagine that a lot of their talent leaving for WWE is gonna hit them pretty hard. What younger guys do they have besides EC3?

The 6 sided ring is also a really stupid decision that never works with any promotion

>>18022

They're looking for investors, last I heard there was a group interested but they wanted 51% stake in the company and Dixie to have 49%. Of course Dixie in her bullheadedness turned them down because every time this has happened she never wants to give up majority control I guess due to feeling like a failure if she did. In their current situation they really don't have the ability to turn down offers like that but she did it again.

>>18025

I don't know if I want to see an older and fatter Matt & Jeff flying around my screen, it's depressing enough as is.

>>18027

They have several guys they signed from smaller promotions, but they're going to have to build them up.

>>18027

They got some guys that has potential of being stars. EC3 as you mentioned, E-Li Drake who already is close to the top in mic-skills in the world, they seem to have a plan with Mike Bennett and his wife Maria Kanellis which they have been consistent with. And they seem really high on Drew Galloway (i'm not, i'm going to go out on a limb and say he lacks the it-factor to be anything else than an upper-midcarder. He doesn't connect).

I think it's important that TNA is still around and that they will grow back their audience again, it won't happen over night but it will if they continue to put on good shows for a year or two. Would TNA go out of business it would put a blow to wrestling as it would either be WWE or WWENXT, which is WWE. And it would suuuuck.

>>18078

That's the issue I've always had with him, he's sub-par at best but they pair him with these world class workers and expect you to say see he can go great, love him damn it. All it proves is that he has to be carried hard to a good match.

If that happens, I'd rather have him feud with Jericho for the rest of his run.

AJ is one of the biggest faces in the company. Reigns destroying him mercilessly like jericho did to him could be the way to turn him full heel. I'm sad as a Styles fan but his heel turn with bulletclub/balor club/bulletproof is probably coming sometime near summerslam

face Rollins vs heel Reigns soon, lads

Smackdown might be interesting tonight. I read the spoilers but I'd like to see what actually happens, like if Roman gives off more heel vibes.

Also wonder if they'll finally stop editing cheers into Roman's entrance/actions. By now everyone knows he gets heavy boos.

>>18106

Just started watching a DL'd version and thye still fucking edit LOUD cheering into Roman's entrance but you can hear some of the real booing in the background

IT'S FUCKING EVERYWHERE

>>17978

>>17980

>>18028

>>18031

>>18034

I forgot about this thread, someone should make it their goal to find the first episode this phrase was yelled.

>>18037

Agreed, but it would be hard to know whether or not it was edited in by the WWE network.

>>18060

Well the clip I posted had WWF on the screen so I imagine we'd have to look at grainy quality WWF episodes.

>>17970

>The Voice of the Voiceless will never come back

>>17983

How would face Wyatts even work?

>>17996

He feuds with heels instead of faces. I don't think they would really need to change their attitude very much. The crowd becoming 'fireflies' during their entrance pretty much guarantees they'll be cheered instead of booed in nearly any situation.

>>18004

Isn't the main roster suffering from a lack of good heels though?

>>18011

Yes, they are. I don't think Wyatts should turn face any time soon, but I also think that their full potential lies in them being face, even if a big part of the reason why is because the audience can interact with their entrance.

>>17937

All I can say is stay tuned for the rest of the season & season 3

>>17984

IIRC from the spoiler Meltzer said on one of the WON podcasts, he comes back and does exactly what you want him to do.

>>14618

LU is so fucking good, I started watching it when I was working at My uncle's last Summer, I can't be the only one thinking there should be a thread for it like Raw every week? We could give it a go for a couple of weeks and see if it's popular enough?

>>17999

We should try it tonight since it's on at 8PM EST on Wednesdays.

Who is he?

>>15237

Spoony? I'm sure someone could give you a better summary of his "career" than I can, but to sum it up:

>started off doing videogame reviews of old AMV games and had some popularity

>joined that guy with the glasses and hooked up with some cunt of a woman

>overall quality of his work tanked and he became incredibly obnoxious and full of himself (you could say the same of anyone related to TGWTG)

>Started doing wrestling related content which no one really gave a shit about

>His girl left him and he ended up leaving TGWTG

>Is now a hollow shell of a man descending into madness

Is that fucking TSlayer or whatever the hell he went by

>>15238

I had to look up what TGWTG is. this is some cancerous e-celeb dogshit.

>Spoony

>telling others to kill themselves

This is funny of several levels. He needs to off himself before he goes completely mad.

Not into wrestling and thought I'd check this place out.

Wrestling lies less than Todd Howard.

Yeah right and Pro Boxing is real.

>>17942

No lies, only ruined dreams.

>>14706

He looks like a Big Guy

UUUU

>>14706

He was really good in Sherlock Holmes.

>>14706

I liked him in Pacific Rim.

I liked when he was part of the Truth Commission.

>>15229

OP's prolapsed pleb asshole.

BEN CARSON HOLY SHIT

>>15216

sick

>OP posted this two days before April Fools

Terrible

>>15545

Ben Carson where? April Fools was last Friday.

Vince's exploding limo

Or the WCW mysterious white hummer.

Man, that stuff hasn't been done in a long time. I miss it.

>>17939

The wacky racers never took off though

Oh great, prepare for an influx of shitposting marks.

>>10210

Cody over does it way too much. Even Goldust could over do it sometimes but I don't ever recall him being so bad at acting so consistently except during his TNA run. Stardust has no character other than being "weird". Dustin Rhodes figured out what type of "weird" Goldust was. Cody needs to do the same.

>>10207

>>10210

This

Cody is tryhard shit and it's probably why the internet loves him so much. They always grasp desperately onto these guys who are good workers, but just fall short of having it in all the other areas. It's like a weird obsession they have with incomplete wrestlers.

Stardust is fucking great all of you shut the fuck up.

We need more comic book characters in wrestling.

>>17871

WWE has been tanking viewers, and is likely to continue to do so.

>>17847

This was my first Wrestlemania since WM28 and I mostly enjoyed it until the battle royale

>IC Ladder match

3.75/5

Difficult to screw up a ladder match, had some good spots and Rydermania stole the show

>AJ vs Jericho

4.25/5

I'm an AJ fanboy so I'm willing to forgive some of the sloppiness of the match. Jericho looked good but I disliked that he won.

>LON vs New Day

3/5

Decent tag match, nothing else. The stuff afterwards with the 3 legends was fantastic

>Brock vs Ambrose

2/5

Disappointed a lot, Ambrose gave it his all but Brock was boring old suplexshit. PG shit didn't even allow Dean to go full Moxley, wish he won.

>Women's triple threat

4.25/5

At least tied as match of the night with AJ vs Y2J. Aside from the pin chain in the start, loved everything else. Sasha or even Becky should have won, Charlotte's been champ for too long.

>Shane vs Taker

3.5/5

The first half was super slow and they both really showed they're age but it got better. Shane da real MVP. Taker was ok.

After that, it all went downhill

>Battle Royale

1/5

Corbin winning was the only good thing

>Rock segment

-5/5

JFMSU tier, got nothing to say

>HHH vs Ramen

Didn't see, stopped after the WPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>17877

Viewer numbers are increasingly irrelevant. Broadcast TV as a medium is shedding viewers; it's dying. WWE is well ahead of the curve with the network. Now if network subs start falling off, they're in trouble…

>>17860

Okay, someone needs to explain the last picture. Are he and Rene in the same situation as Lana and Rusov (hated by the clique of Cena, Bellas, Vince, & Paul), or did Dean do something to piss creative off like Ziggler?

>>14615

>Ronnie

>Great comic artist

>>14158

This is wonderful.

This is Brennan's first match, as "Marcellus Black, the Shogun of the ROW."

Skip to about 14 minutes in.

>>17875

Is he fighting negro Bane?

>>17878

>>17875

Oh, nevermind, negro Bane is a manlet compared to The Shogun of the ROW

>>15163

If you invite the faggot boards I'm out.

>>15235

lol

The important question is, when is the party where we watch Takeover?

Just remember to bump any invite threads on the invited boards tomorrow or the day of mania, if they're gone post it one more time

Has RAW started?

/v/ user here, was watching wrestlemania yesterday
