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

[Com Fox]

This Wrestlemania feels like Wrestlemania 29 levels of wrong. Especially if the completely waste, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn and just put them in a multi-man ladder match like the rumours say :/

What is annoying me the most is Ryback's feud with Kalisto. Not only is this Ryback/Mark Henry levels of rushed but this completely and utterly changed Ryback out of nowhere. I mean, last year he didn't care about size, and his heel turn was because he was done with teams. Fair enough, and I thought his feud with Kalisto would be about Ryback teaching Kalisto to leave Sin Cara and be alone saying team's would hold him back.

but now he is going off the cliche "Little guys suck, Big guys win" with Kalisto, pretty much chucking canon away faster than the Katie Vick angle.

Such a shame, last year, the U.S Championship was treated very well and respected with a massive feud with John Cena and Rusev which was very fitting and felt more like a World Heavyweight Championship match but now we got this 🤬 again.


As for Usos facing off against the Dudley Boyz, couldn't care less. I would if the Dudley Boyz had a chance of getting over but we all know this is just to push the Usos (which I don't have a problem with it, but the Dudleys have had no success since returning so not only is it obvious that they are losing but beating a team with no recent success isn't a worthy push).

Actually enjoyed Raw last night, it was refreshing to have the show start with an actual Wrestling match rather than a promo, loved Triple H's 'hope' promo, great heel move, his match with Dolph was good too, and the Undertaker/McMahon seg at the end was infinitely better that that car wreck of a seg a couple of weeks ago.

Neville has suffered a broken shinbone and a broken ankle, it happened during his match with Jericho when he attempted a baseball slide, he eventually won by DQ after Y2J shoved Charles Robinson after he attempted to win the match be a roll up but Charles stopped him because he knew Neville was in a bad way, it was a genuine tiff they had but Jericho apologised backstage, anyway its a bad injury and it looks like he will be out for a while, the injury curse strikes again!

Triple H needed 13 stitches to the side of his head after Roman Reigns threw a production crate at him....

 

[GTFan24]

I gotta say last night's crowd was awful in Pittsburgh. The only people that got excited there last night were those two girls when reigns was attacking Triple H which had me like: what the ****?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I heard about that but didn't actually see it, didn't they try to take selfies with him whilst he was attacking Triple H?!

 

[Com Fox]

Compared to previous weeks, this Raw was far better. Though I'll admit the beat down was rather boring since most of the spots were what Triple H did before (though I loved Roman chucking a bin at Triple H )

Spoiler

HOLY 🤬. Drew Galloway (McIntyre) is the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

I am disappointed as I wanted to see Matt Hardy's reign last longer but congratulations Drew on winning big after not getting a real chance in WWE

 

[Darla Starch]

I still can't accept that Nakamura is now a WWE superstar. I won't be able to wrap my head around it until I watch his entrance at Takeover.

 

[Com Fox]

I still can't get around how once the biggest joke in WWE is now not only the World Champion but massively loved in TNA .

Did everybody noticed that it was the "passing of the torch" during Mick Foley and Dean Ambrose promo where Mick gave Ambrose his "Barbie" (Foley's barbed wire) to him as a preparation against Brock at WM32? And are they ready to unleash Jon Moxley to the WWE fans?

I agree on that. The WM32 match cards all feel like WM29's match cards. Think about it in WM29 you have the Lesnar HHH match or the CM Punk Taker match as the supposed main event for fans but instead the booked main event for WM29 was the Rock vs Cena match for the WWE Championship. So it feels like we went back to the 2012-2013 season.

Sting is retiring from Professional Wrestling due to his neck injury (so throw your Sting vs Undertaker hopes out the window):

[MUSC4EVER]

Bobby Roode and Eric Young have both left TNA, there is an influx of former TNA talent making their way to the WWE, either on NXT or on the main roster like AJ Styles, I wonder if they will join them...

I'd want to see Bobby Roode go to main roster just to wrestle against Triple H. I reckon it would be a great match.

 

[Casey]

So Sting has said he's not officially retired, but I'm thinking they're going to force him to retire honestly.

 

[Com Fox]

It's not like a concussion though, so we'll have to wait.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Quite a news-worthy Raw last night, two more matches made for WM, tag team match between the Dudley's and The Usos (yawn!) and like last year we will have a IC Title ladder match with Owens, Ziggler, Stardust, Ryder, Sin Cara and Zayn, there was also a segment in which Vince said that if Undertaker loses to Shane then it will be his last WM, loved the bit between Ambrose and Terry Funk (yes really!), that was hilarious!

latest and possibly last of the HOF Inductee's is Stan Hansen, who I honestly have never heard of...

Braun Strowman was attacked in the dark match by a fan after Raw last night, the fan was escorted out of the arena, its been reported that he punched Braun in the face, which is very brave considering the size of Braun! Luke Harper reportedly suffered an injury to his right knee during the same match, he was seen by the doctor ringside and continued the match but didn't put any weight on that leg.

 

[Darla Starch]

Fair point on Hansen, he competed in the Americas primarily in the 70's and 80's, but mostly worked in Japan.

Speaking of Japan, Vader will be the man inducting him. If y'all are wondering why I mentioned this, it's because the two of them had a legendary match over there in the early 90's; legendary in the fact that it was so physical (and due to his poor eyesight), Hansen caused one of Vader's eyes to pop out of his skull.

 

[Com Fox]

Oh, I remember hearing about that. Gosh that would be painful

I'm very disappointed that it's not Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn. I get that the Intercontinental Championship Ladder match worked last year but that was because the participants didn't really have any great potential feuds. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens had potential to be an amazing match but now they are just shoved in a Ladder match with the rest of the participants being jobbers (I wish I could say Ziggler isn't a jobber but the way he is being treated )

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So its Wrestlemania week then....

 

[Com Fox]

Aside from NXT Takeover: Dallas. I'm totally not interested. since I don't have exams on Monday I can actually watch Wrestlemania 32 which I will but I'm not to keen on it.

 

[Com Fox]

So 4 matches are on the Pre-Show this year.

I was actually going to praise Wrestlemania for a lot of matches on the PPV which would mean that Celebrity involvement would be cut.

Sadly this was not the case and instead we got 7 matches on the PPV. Same as Wrestlemania 29 (granted it was supposed to have 8). This is going to be so cringeworthy especially since the only match I actually looking forward too is the Diva's Championship Match, since that is only match that isn't done before or has a terrible build up. I would be excited for The New Day vs. League of Nations but the Tag Team Championships won't be defended on the PPV .

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I'm feeling more indifferent than disappointed in this years card, quite a few of the matches look underwhelming on paper but I'm hopeful they will be good in reality, still looking forward to the event

Raw was very meh last night, loved the first bit between Taker and Shane, Shane is still the worst puncher I have ever seen though!, but it went downhill pretty fast after that with not one but two promo's from The Authority, WWE said to be disappointed with the reaction Eva Marie got last night, what did the expect?!

 

[Eva]

To be honest, I like Shane because he's terrible. He's so unorthodox I find it amusing, and I'm beginning to understand the storyline finally. Still doesn't make sense, but we know either Shane is losing, or Undertaker is retiring. If it plays out how I'm hoping, this will be a nice match for the Undertaker to go out on, and on the other hand, this could very well play into the WHC match if Shane loses and decides to interfere out of vengeance. Either way, my mind has been captured by that. The Divas match has been something that's been asked for so long, and for it to happen on the biggest stage should be suiting. The Ambrose/Lesnar match has me all giddy inside because I love the street fight type matches. And that very same reason is the only reason I'm even interested in the main event. Can't help but predict it'll be a potato-fest. Overall, I think they made some last minute saves to make some of the matches make sense or look appealing. I'll still be sitting through all 4 hours I believe it is, so oh woe is me.

Bright side, NXT Takeover Dallas should be beautiful. Nakamura! Nuff said.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

There was something I realised when I was watching Raw earlier, I don't know if this is true or not but I think there are more Wrestlers making their first Wrestlemania appearances this year than ever before, there's all three competitors in the Divas title match making their debut, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Kalisto, Xavier Woods, (maybe Big E too?), Zack Ryder, a few of the Divas in the tag match on the pre show making their debut's too I believe, they maybe a few more I'm forgetting...

 

[GTFan24]

The Authority's promos last night were predictable as ever:

1. Triple H and Steph Mchmann come out
2. They talk about how great H is as a champion and trash talk Roman.
3. Reigns interrupts and attacks H.

On another note: Zack Ryder won

 

[Com Fox]

I'm sure Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar will be a crazy match but the problem I have is that it doesn't matter who wins. Dean doesn't lose or gain anything, not even momentum. Brock Lesnar is in the same boat. I just can't get myself to care what happens.

Shane and Undertaker is the opposite, I am very concerned about how the match will turn out but nearly everything is on the line for this match.

@MUSC4EVER New Day were on the Pre-Show matches last year and Zack Ryder appeared in Wrestlemania XXVIII

And to add, The Shane/Taker match isn't even the main event.

 

[Com Fox]

Honestly, I think WWE can turn Eva Marie's boo's to her advantage and make her a high level heel. Kinda like how they turned Bo Dallas boo's around.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I think the Shane/Taker match will be the main event, or at least it should be, there is more at stake in that match that the WWE Title match.

 

[Darla Starch]

I'm more pumped for the RAW after Mania this year than Mania itself.

Anyone fancy a guess on announced attendance number? 103,000 neighborhood is mine.

I doubt that, I mean, the promotional stuff says otherwise.
