The Pro-Wrestling Thread (All Pro Wrestling Goes Here...)

[ShakeAndBake58]

I fully expect this thread to be dominated by myself, Hester, Sturrock, and maybe Danny since I know we're the main four wrestling fans on here. I may be wrong for saying this, but I'm hoping the fans start throwing crap at Kyle Busch tonight... that would be priceless.

Im sure WWE is gonna try and make Kyle look like the baby face like they did with Al Sharpton which I think is stupid, Im gonna watch some of it but prolly not the entire show.

[EricSturrock]

myself I currently hate WWE(except 4 2night) WWE's stupid PG stuff to get Linda McMahon senator of Conn. McMahon said in a interview WWE is the most sospicated program on TV 2day(hahahah). WWE has no wrestler bleed anymore, no1 curses, & they took away my fav. match type the bra & panties match lol. Announcer Cole is sooo annoying on audio, WWE dosent want the fans to cheer for whoever they want so they add in cheers and boos to the ppl watchin at home. Which is ridulaous when the crowd is cherrin and you see them cheerin but you hear booooooooooooo.

I like TNA sometimes, but storylines are worse then WWE's and they do the crowd audio fixing as well. To me the crowd is funnier to watch then the show sometimes lol(espcilly candians lol)

ROH I like, startin 2 like Mike Hogewood as hes funny.

I'd say im a big wrestling fans. Gone to every WWE show in Albany or Poughkeepsie since 2002(been a fan since 2001), and have gone to ever TNA show in Albany & Poughkeepsie. Ive had my uncle order every WWE ppv since 2001, and every TNA ppv since 2006.

For me in wrestlng I like anything comedy, and no a stupid leprchican is not funny, neither is a guy dressed as a girl.

I read online McMahon went crazy last night backstage that Cena was bleedin in the ring(me I was happy its something diffent, I like expect the unexpected) he had the Head of Talent Relations & 2 Doctors run out to glue Cena's head shut durin the match.

the Divas were horrible last night, so sloppy. UnderTaker is too old can hardly move plus him & Batista had to talk over what moves they were gonna do so much that you could hear them talkin clearly. And Michel Cole sayin "Oh My" & "Vintage" 80 million times drove me crazy

"Its Vintage John Wes Townley"(now thats funny)

[EricSturrock]

oh and Mike Adamle was the greatest of all time ahahahah.

I actully miss him messin up every single line.

My favorite NASCAR/WWE commercial w/ Big Show, Kenny Wallace, Tony Stewart, & Scott Wimmer. Stewart's line is soooo funny youtube.com/watch?v=Tvwi7iK_cys

Count me in for this thread. Kyle Busch busting on Buffalo was great...til he screwed up Kofi Kingston's last name.

[ShakeAndBake58]

WWE's hit or miss with me. Raw bores me to tears because the HHH/Orton/HBK/Cena main event scene is painfully bad now, yet they have Kofi and Evan Bourne, so that makes it a bit more tolerable.

Smackdown's the work-rate show, but now that Taker's champ instead of CM Punk, I have a hard time sitting through it.

WWECW... the less said, the better. Now if it was old-school ECW, that would be awesome.

TNA finally appears to be headed in the right direction as they appear to be serious about elevating new guys to the main event.

ROH, I have to mostly keep up with it and FIP through the deals on HighSpots.com DVD-wise.

My favorite promotion of all-time was NWA Wildside and if they had a big money backer, they could have been as big as ROH, maybe bigger.

One promotion I'm into that's kind of an acquired taste is IWA: Mid-South. Not so much for the death-match stuff (though it's good in moderation), but for the stuff like the Ted Petty Invitational.

I'll tell you the one promotion I watch fairly regularly live that probably none of you have ever heard of is Fusion Tradition Wrestling out of Middle Tennessee (Cookeville/McMinnville/Sparta/Crossville). They're honestly just as good as IWA: Mid-South and I wish they had a DVD deals so they could get their product out there because it's an awesome show to watch if you're ever near the area.

lol Kofi Johnson FTW!

Jeff Gluck reports...

Kyle & Joey were nervous out their, after the Kyle blasted Buffalo, some fans chanted "NASCAR sucks" and Kyle said he forgot Kofi's name because of that.

Kyle & Joey were funny in the backstage bits.

Many ppl on Twitter were happy that the #18 Randy Orton designed car got destroyed.(its was a Joe Gibbs Racing Showcar with Orton's face all over it)

At the end, Joey said he was laughin on stage because someone yelled "Kyle Busch you suck! I Hate you, Kyle Busch!"

Kyle did well at the end cutting the promo(sad they brought out Hornswoggle)

On Twitter someone asked Kyle if he needed a midgit as a sidekick, Kyle said "I already have one Jeff Dickerson" hahah

WWE's getting a lot of flack for them gluing Cena's head shut, but they made the right call IMO. They still had about another 50 minutes left in the match, which is a long time for an open wound to be bleeding, plus there was still a segment of the match coming up that took place in the crowd, and that's a huge liability issue.

As for tonight, it was a fun show, and I like that they're pushing Kofi Kingston.

That said, RAW is easily my least favorite wrestling show right now. My favorite is TNA Impact. They've turned the corner for the better, and the way they're pushing the future of the business is great. My 2nd favorite is SmackDown! even with Undertaker as champion.

I seem to be in the minority of people that like ECW. When it came back it was on shaky ground because it obviously wasn't the old ECW, but it was pretending to be. Fast forward three years, and everything has changed except for the name. It's a place for young guys to make a name for themselves, and established names to get a fresh start and reinvent themselves. I honestly can't think of anyone on the ECW roster who I dislike.

For the record, I also thing that TV-PG is a good idea for WWE for now. For years, fans got so used to blood on almost every show, and every line being pushed that it got to a point where it didn't mean as much anymore. I'm also glad that the constant bra & panties crap is off my TV. If I wanted to see that, I'm pretty sure all I'd have to do is get on the internet. Save the shows for wrestling.

I also like ECW, but I wish Sheamus was still on it, now hes on Raw. Striker & Matthews are best commentary team.

Hope Jim Ross gets better, doctors today said theirs something wrong with his brain after his 3rd bell's palsy attack.

[lefflerfan]

From what I read, Smackdown is great. I don't get that stupid station where I live and my local Fox affiliate doesn't replay the show at all.

pro wrestling is so stupid.  its the guys version of watching soaps.

Thats like when someone says, "NASCAR is just cars going in circles"...a lot more too it then you would think.

And your point? That's exactly what it's supposed to be. 95% of wrestling fans acknowledge pro wrestling is not "on the level", but they gotta be really good athletes to do that stuff 250 days a year. Heck, I briefly trained to be a wrestler at one point and that was tough.
