wait so they cut off bryan at the legs? of course that shit would happen

Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio Jr from Halloween Havoc '97 popped up on my youtube recommendations last night so I thought hey why not, and oh my that was a good match

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJSfVsKLD4Q

yeah that is soooooooo good.

tna is bankrupt supposedly, which is lol. maybe even funnier is that the internet thinks billy corgan might buy it.

Fantastic stuff!

Not 'really' watched WWE since..2010? What're the classic, 5* matches I need to catch up on?

lol

if you have a day free for youtube... in the past three years, 4 1/2 viewing:

CM Punk v. John Cena (Money in the Bank 2011, a Raw from this Feb)
CM Punk v. Daniel Bryan series from last year
P much all Shield PPV matches
Daniel Bryan guantlet from Raw this year
the Mark Henry title run
all of last years Extreme Rules
all of this years SummerSlam
Elimination Chamber 2012 (Smackdown one)
Punk v. Taker

all the Rumbles have been shit. the MITB matches for the past two years have been boring. HITC too. I only remember 2 matches from the past 3 Wrestlemanias and one of those is because it was 18 seconds long.

only memorable tna match afaik is the beer money no holds barred from bound for glory 2012

Daniel Bryan guantlet from Raw this year

^^ Cesaro portion of this features like 45 stiff uppercuts and the best small-package rollup in recent memory

I dunno, I'd rep for the all-heel MITB from this year. The very recent Rhodes/Goldust tag run is worth checking too if only because ol' Dustin is better than 90% of the roster.

hours of fun.

the last bit of raw this week is essential viewing. if dbry is that over, cena is legit no longer #1

And yet I just can't see them following through on it. When they bumped him down in order to push fuckin' Big Show, Jeezus.

Unless they're building Bryan for a Rumble win and a WM win over Cena for the unified title, in which case fair enough, it will probably have all been worth it in the end. The only other match I'd want to see Bryan in at WM would be against HBK.

Also of note - WWE sending out a survey with a list of guys from the main-event and upper mid-card asking fans who it is that they want to see maineventing next year. lol. Certainly speeds the process up a bit. Would be shocked if Bryan doesn't win it.

BIG DAVE IS BACK

i wasnt watching when evolution and whatevz were a thing, so i dunno why people hate him. all i know is "I THOUGHT YOU WAZ MY FRIEND REY REY" Batista and spotlight guy wanting to fuck up Cena Batista, so I love him.

Also what should next years thread title be?

Do people still hate him? For a while there everyone was fed up with him because for about 3 or 4 years he was a main-event given, big guy, rarely had a decent match, not a good promo guy, pretty much the epitome of a guy who's got "the look" but not a lot else. Feuding with The Great Khali, Big Show, Kane, Booker, JBL. It was pretty nightmarish.

Then he turned heel on Rey Mysterio and started doing the spotlight thing and just generally became by far and away the most enjoyable thing about Smackdown in late 2009. His initial rise with Evolution was also really good, if only cause HHH by that point was just totally unbearable. Batista still probably the most convincing argument for HHH making someone else a star.

In hindsight they probably should have saved their "Once In A Lifetime" dream-feud schtick that they pushed so hard for Cena / Orton throughout 2009 for Cena / Batista at WM in 2010. Their career trajectories were quite similar at that point. Odd to think that one point it looked like Batista was gonna be top banana with Cena beneath him

Its fascinating how much Vince has wanted to do big guy vs big guy in his career. Batista v. Great Khali? EURGH, Wrestlemania IX and SummerSlam 95 should have been enough punishment.

thinking it should either be Rolling 2014 EL TORITO Thread or Rolling 2014 Sheepmask Thread or Rolling 2014 The Battle of Many Earnest Millers Thread.

idk gimmicks are hard to come by these days.

Yeah the attempt to push Khali to the main event (didn't this happen twice?!) were sooooo wrongheaded. It really was like a return to the bad old days of Mabel as King of the Ring.

I'd be more help with the thread-naming if I actually watched the wrestling anymore rather than just checking in on the event reports while bored at work

Just checked, between 2006 and 2008 Khali was involved in high-level feuds with Undertaker, Batista, Cena, Triple H, Kane and Rey Mysterio. And he held the fucking Heavyweight Championship! Jesus, I forget these things. Amazed most of those guys agreed to work with him given that he once fucking killed a guy he was working with. Unbelievable.

Yeah I mostly just wait for the internet to tell what to watch each week. Solomon Crowe isn't on tv yet but he's a lock for the 2015 thread title. HE'S A HACKER WITH AN IPAD WOOOOO SCARRRY.

Did fans ever care? Or did they just get bored and find it kinda racist?

little of both really. (the cena/khali match surprisingly great btw, hero-level carry job.)

i stopped watching right around batista's rise but looking at the tail end of his run on youtube and stuff, it seems like he kinda figured it out (the batista/cena match from whatever wrestlemania it was--26?--was genuinely good!). interested to see how he is when he comes back.

the past couple months have been butters. however, i'm actually really excited about the rumble. potentially the 30 guys could include brock, taker, big dave, cena, bryan, punk, the usos (and kishi?), shield, wyatts, rey rey, hunter, big show, kane, mark henry, jake the fucking snake, cesaro, ziggler, goldust and cody, idk santino, swagger, miz and sandow. its the first time since like 2008 or something where legit 10 people could easily win it and another 10 you wouldn't feel cheated winning.

and even if its nothing like that, we can still easily see a bryan shawn/flair/rey/benoit long run win or reigns eliminating all other 29 or something awesome.

the first ever tna was on challange last night. jarrett beat up some country music guy and the ding dongs got jacked. start the way you want to go on imo.

i couldnt watch all of it, mainly because it was shit. again, start the way you want to go on.
