Re: MondayNight Wrestling

I got back into it for a little while now. Don't have many channels since i'm trying to not spend so much on it, so i've been watching smack down on hulu. They don't stream Raw apparently.

Re: MondayNight Wrestling

I just started watching wrestling and I'm hooked

I like CM Punk and R Truth a good bit, but I agree that Punk has been on top for too long and some of the mid level wrestlers need more storylines.

Plus I don't get why everyone hates Laurinitis so much?

Re: MondayNight Wrestling

Johnny Ace has long been the scapegoat of the internet for anything going wrong, from taking the talent relations head position from JR to being responsible for hiring a ton of models and souring up the divas division (for some reason everyone forgets Trish Stratus and Stacy Kiebler and such were around the same time as Lita and Victoria...).

TV-wise, he's a huge corporate schill?

And now they're pretty much doing austin/mcmahon again with Punk and him...though I personally think it's going to lead to Punk joining up with him and going heel, which would be awesome.

Truth is great, he really ran with the heel turn they gave him back in April.

Re: MondayNight Wrestling

I can't believe they've kept around Great Khali as long as they have. Raja Lion was more athletic than him.

What can I say? I like Gimmicks. He's really ****in' big, that's his thing, and I think it's great.

Re: MondayNight Wrestling

I used to love Triple H. Once the Evolution thing ended I kinda stopped watching it. Then HBK and HHH did there DX thing again and I got into for that but then fell back out with it. It sucks these days. Cena is terrible, Kane was stupid since he took his mask away, The Undertaker is as old as the dirt he uses to bury people, and the good ones have all gone on to other things. On a side note I watched some other Wrestling franchise show once and saw everyone who used to be a part of the WWE including Rick Flare and Christian. Also Sting was there and that was pretty awesome. But I stopped watching that too.

Love the video games though.

Alicia Fox, walking injury dispenser.

One thing I will say about Trish Stratus was she worked her ass off. I've long been a critic of WWE's "Divas" division, since it seemed after Alundra Blayze/Madusa dumped their belt in the trash her first night on WCW, they shut it down for a while, and when it came back, looks were valued over actual talent.

Starting out, I could say Trish was not good at all, but she ended up more or less pretty good by the time she retired. TNA's Knockouts seem/seemed to have/had better talent but LOL TNA.

Re: MondayNight Wrestling

BTW, these Raw and Smackdown in 1 minute videos are great.

Re: MondayNight Wrestling

Jericho really screwed Punk tonight...

And my guess is that Lauranitis is out tomorrow morning

Re: MondayNight Wrestling

I don't think Johnny Ace is going anywhere, they're going to keep him around for the mania build with punk/jericho, maybe he'll be the referee for the match.

I'm telling ya either Punk or Cena's gonna turn come mania, and I have a feeling Punk is much more comfortable at being a heel than Cena must be at this point. Either way, looking forward to both characters getting some depth as these storylines continue. As for Jericho's promo, eh, not that excited. He's a little too old school, like JBL used to be, in his execution of being a heel. He wants to be whiny and lousy and hated and while JBL is respected now everyone forgets that they all hated him when the storyline was actually going on.

Other than that, ****ing terrible episode last night, countless recaps and the only Raw superstar to wrestle until the main event was David Otunga (who is becoming very entertaining in his snivelling lawler schtick), this is why I'd never go to a weekly show if they pass through MSG or something, I've been to too many crappy, recap filled ones. I'd rather attend a house show anyday.

Re: MondayNight Wrestling

OOPS!!!



This is why I like keeping tabs on it the day after more than seeing it day of, unless it's a PPV or something. Usually if there's a "HOLY **** DID YOU GUYS SEE" moment it will be highlighted, like the entire D.Bry vs. Punk match.

you guys might enjoy r/squaredcircle on reddit for this very reason, I know I do.

BTW, this is the most upvoted image I ever made after the Oklahoma earthquake.

Re: MondayNight Wrestling

RIP Earthquake~

I'm not sure if Miz's missed clothesline was really a botch or not, just some overselling.


Besides, Miz already had another colossal **** up that match...



Amazingly enough Truth wasn't injured.
