Re: The Wrestling thread
I'd make raw WAY shorter. Keep it punchy and fast paced. I think the show would then be a lot more interesting. Which I think would make the next generation more interesting, which I think would make the PPVs more interesting.
I think it's partially USA's (broadcasting Network) fault since they insisted that Raw be 3 hours long. Anyway, someone mentioned the PBP/Color guys, well the group they have on RAW is totally horrible and really waters down the product. I haven't heard the Smackdown guys but they can't be worse and Lawler went back to being a real heel. Add in stuff like the way they shoot the matches now (can't describe it, they take really weird angles at times during the match) and all these little things and you have a product that is poor.
Oh and I'd dump some of the PPV anyway. Some of them are just redundant and really are rematches from the last PPV anyway.
I'm shocked they did the right thing last night and let AJ Styles win instead of going with Jericho. It was a fun match even if I did get a little annoyed at guys kicking out of Jericho's finisher multiple times (another complaint I have).
Re: The Wrestling thread
Zack Ryder gets his Wrestlemania moment, and even after all this time, the crowd are right behind him, then he loses the title the next night on Raw to The Miz of all people. Was the point of Ryder winning at Mania simply for the shock factor? If so, this is a case of the powers that be cutting off their nose to spite their face. Absolutely baffling.
Re: The Wrestling thread
It was probably just to fuck with the betting and maybe to distract from A.J. being booked to lose clean again to Jericho for no apparent reason.
On the otherhand though Owens will probably get a title program against Reigns later in the year. So he would had to have dropped the title at some point and Zayn's only really just been introduced to the main audience. They like to have a chase/build-up to the big moment when a baby-face wins the title and unfortunately they probably see him winning the IC Title one day as his peak.
A4L did you watch NXT Takeover and see the Nakamura match? Easily the highlight of the weekend.

AJ losing to Jericho didn't bother me, because as the match was going on, I realised that Jericho hasn't won a Wrestlemania match in a long time so he was due a win. Besides, this was rectified the next night on Raw, as he pinned Jericho clean in the fatal four way and Styles standing tall was the last thing you saw going off the air.
As for Reigns, I sense a heel turn coming. He showed some heelish mannerisms on Raw last night. With Styles being his first title defense, I can't see AJ winning, so my theory is Reigns (on the verge of turning heel) will feud with babyface Styles for the next month or two until babyface Rollins returns and begins that inevitable feud.
No, admittedly I don't watch much of NXT. They've just announced a tour of the UK for June and Balor is on all the posters for it, so I'm guessing he isn't gonna get called up to the main roster anytime soon. I'll try check out Nakamura's match when I get the time.
Re: The Wrestling thread
Nakamura vs. Zayn was probably the best match produced by WWE since Punk vs. Cena in 2011, speaking of which...
The next PPV is in Chicago. So they obviously want the fans chanting A.J. instead of Punk at Reigns during the main event.
Re: The Wrestling thread
Chyna is dead.
http://deadspin.com/former-wrestling-st … 1772205525
She had a really good run from the late 90s to the early 2000s. You know, she was a train wreck since she left the WWE, but she was a big part of the Attitude Era. RIP.
Re: The Wrestling thread
Wow. So sad. In theory you should have expected it, but I didn't.
She really did deserve a hall of fame induction especially by their standards, but Triple H last year in an interview suggested it wasn't going to happen, because he didn't want kids to google Chyna and find porn. Which considering Triple H and her were together until he switched to Stephanie (not sure if it was an affair), well it was a mess.
R.I.P. thanks for those memories in the attitude era.

One of my most shameful fap's..

One of those pornos his friend was in, and I guarantee X-Pac gets inducted with DX.
