Does Anyone Watch Wrestling? (WWE, AEW, TNA, NWA, etc)

[MUSC4EVER]

Two title matches on tonight's Raw, another tag team title match with Gallows and Anderson getting another shot at The New Day who are inching closer to Demolition's record, for that reason i seriously doubt that the title will change hands, they will most likely wait for another two weeks until they got there and then have them change hands.

Secondly we have a Women's Championship with Sasha getting her HIAC re-match v Charlotte, i have no idea about this one, Sasha has won the title on Raw twice this year, its in Charlotte's home town and Sasha won it in her home town, i do have the feeling that it will change hands again but i wont be surprised if it doesn't.

Would be a cool character development to begin if New Day fail to beat the record, either they fal apart and go into singles careers or they becomes more serious.

Spoiler: Raw

And your new THREE TIME women's champion...... can they either give Banks a proper rein for a few months or not bother. This hot potato malarkey is just silly now.

It is a little bit but it's to keep alive Charlotte's PPV streak of wins. I dunno why, unless they're building up to her losing to Bayley at Wrestlemania.

Honestly, sick of the Raw Women's Division, the main scene is 50/50 booking at its worse and the other women basically do nothing.

Complain about Smackdown's lack of women talent all you want, at least they're doing something.

I'm a big fan of Alexa Bliss, to be honest. I've been watching WWE more closely as of late due to school holidays and there being nothing else to watch, and she's probably my standout women's wrestler right now. Surprised she doesn't have the belt yet.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Liked Raw, i agree with the 'Hot-Potatoing' of the Raw Women's belt but at least its producing great matches with last night being another one of them, they have had a great rivalry this year and i have enjoyed it.

The New Day are hanging on to those tag titles by their fingernails!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Rich Swann is new Cruiserweight Champ, won the belt from Kendrick on the premiere of 205 Live last night.

 

[Com Fox]

Too bad 205 Live actually had disappearing crowds, and according to a few who stick around, most still at the arena were just drunk. Which I can understand, having a 1 hour show right after 2 hour Smackdown is like sitting through 3 Hours of Raw without Big Stars in the main event.

I think they should ditch the "Live" and just to tapings with NXT at the same venue. The NXT crowed is far more suited for the cruiserweights, as really, most of the cruiserweights are complete nobody's right now.

Caught up with Smackdown highlights OMG STYLES KILLED ELLSWORTH!

Eh it has been coming, Styles has suffered in last few weeks and has looked weak, had a feeling he was going to batter Ellsworth this week..

Hopefully that's the last we see of Ellsworth for a long, long time.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I actually like him and i am happy that he has a contract and is earning money, but i hope he wont interfere on Sunday and let the main eventers do their main event stuff.

Yeah I don't mind the fact he's a part of the company, but how he's been wedged in the main event scene leaves a lot to be desired.

In other news, there's a rumour going around that WWE plans for Owens to drop the Universal title to Reigns at Roadblock: End of the Line, leaving Reigns holding two titles, a la Conor McGregor. I'm just gonna leave it there as it speaks for itself. The Roman Experiment continues...

 

[Terronium-12]

We also wanted Lesnar's reign to end.

Did we though?

I am interested now in seeing what happens at the Royal Rumble and what happens to Lesnar, both of which I haven't felt in years.

Wholeheartedly agreed. Perhaps they'll stop limiting him to several moves when anyone that's seen him wrestle during his first run knows he's capable of way more and then some.

Hopefully they feed Goldberg to someone sticking around the roster full time once they build him up more.

I've been onboard with the "build some new deserving talent" train since I started watching again, but now, after I've actually thought about it (and have been watching less and less of wrestling lately) I just don't care anymore.

I can count the number of talents possessing that "larger than life" aura among them, and who I'd break a limb to watch perform on several fingers, beyond those few (one of whom was forced into retirement) there are just people who are good/exceptional at what they do and that's it. Perhaps this is the product of me being born at a time where pro wrestling was at its worst and rose to its booming best, or if it's the related reason of me judging them against at a time where no match was worth missing, and you were familiar with everyone and everything for better or worse.

I'm beginning to realize, perhaps even understand why Vince and company continue to draw from that well: no one else really measures up.

 

[m8h3r]

Poor Brock wasn't even this Linear during the first year of him coming back this time. It was his "Suplex City, 🤬" comment to Cena during Summerslam that made the suplexy rubbish stick.

 

[Eva]

I thought Brock said that during Wrestlemania with Reigns.

 

[m8h3r]

Could have sworn it was with Cena as he walked to the turnbuckle. Maybe I'm wrong.

Apologies I was wrong, it was at WrestleMania with Reigns.

 

[Com Fox]

With the whole James Ellsworth stick, I think it went on for too long. I liked it and it did make AJ Styles actually look like a good heel for once but they went with this angle for too long to the point where AJ Styles still looks like a 🤬 heel as the crowd turned on Ellsworth for styles.

From what I've seen in the independent circuit, James actually isn't a bad wrestler. I think he can be a lower mid-carder and probably do a program with Curt Hawkins as a sort of comedic storyline between the 2.

Looks like WWE once again ready to raid ROH talent.

I hope Jay Lethal goes to WWE. His skit with Ric Flair in TNA is what convinced me that not only he's a very good wrestler but good at promos.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

NXT live event from Osaka Japan tomorrow with Joe v Shinsuke for the NXT title again.

 

[NW48]

Apparently, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka only has 6 months to live...

These past few years have not been kind to Snuka, especially with the murder case hanging over his head.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Here is the card for TLC tonight.

Chairs Match
Kalisto v Baron Corbin

No Disqualification match
Carmella v Nikki Bella

Smackdown Tag Team Championship
Heath Slater & Rhyno v Bray Wyatt & Randy Orton

Intercontinental Championship-Ladder Match
The Miz (c) v Dolph Ziggler

Smackdown Women's Championship-Tables Match
Becky Lynch (c) v Alexa Bliss

WWE World Championship-TLC Match
AJ Styles (c) v Dean Ambrose

No Kick off show matches announced yet.

 

[Com Fox]

Only really excited in the Women's Tables match and the Intercontinental Ladder match, however the no DQ and Tag Team title match should be interesting too.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Well the Tag Title match will be more storyline-driven than anything else. The way I see it, there are two ways which it can go; either BRYKO (haha) win and then lose the belts later down the line due to mishaps between Orton and Wyatt and/or Harper, or Harper messes up trying to save Bray and cost his (Bray's) team the match.

The Ladder match is bound to be fun, if anything thanks to Ziggler being really good at killing himself in ladder matches (moreso than in normal matches, where he already bumps like hell). I know this sounds evil towards the guy, but I can't help it if he keeps taking big spots which nearly cripple him!

 

[m8h3r]

I'm expecting an STF from the top of the ladder to Ziggler!

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Don't you mean a SCF (Skull Crushing Finale)? I don't think Miz has more than one signature submission move...

Besides, what I want to see is Miz trying to do a bridge on the top of the ladder while applying a Figure 4. That way, he'll be doing a Figure 8, just like that Charlotte girl!

 

[m8h3r]

Yes sorry the SCF haha. The STF from the top of the ladder would be very impressive indeed

Spoiler: Styles v Ambrose

That ending was deflating as hell

That's not really a spoiler, you weren't giving away any important details. Just an opinion.

Though thank god for that, since I've yet to watch TLC

Yeah I thought I'd hide it in the spoiler as I thought it might give something away if the person reading it thinks abnormally hard about it.
