General Wrestling Discussion

Something needs to be done about audience members acting like this during promos

I'm surprised Punk didn't deflect the question about working for a MAGA company by pointing out that the CEO's brother was President Obama's Chief of Staff.
 
I think the main event could go either way, Cena winning isn’t the guarantee some on twitter think it is, The promo battle on smackdown was very good I’d say both killed it on the mic, a bit strange Cody never went down once but it works for me

I guess Dragon Lee could replace him for the match against El Grande Americano.

Fenix is the option here

Cody has been ice cold since they put the belt on him.

It isn't his fault, he's just trapped in the Samoan Shitter vortex.

I would unironically take the Samoan Shitter vortex over either the Chris Jericho Midcard Vortex or the Death Riderz Heat Killer Experience.

And I say that as someone who sat through Aces and Eights AND Immortal. The bar is low.

this, also all of Codys challengers since beating Roman except for Solo have been all white guys, the argument that its just Samoans going after him makes no sense

GCW is running "The Collective" to help a lot of the larger indies/Japan promotions like DDT, TJPW, etc, as well as run their local events/Janela's and Barnett's events.

I can't stand GCW for a lot of reasons, but I have to give them credit where it's due; they've done an outstanding job this week. Everything is running like a well oiled machine and the shows have been great. Production has been top notch, too. They don't feel like independent shows. I don't know what they're paying to rent out this concert theater at the Palms (I can't imagine that it was cheap), but it's a fantastic wrestling venue. The two shows I've been to were great. Kicking myself for not going to Bloodsport, but hindsight and shit.

Just an aside I feel like getting out there, if you're a pro wrestling fan you've seriously got to think about doing a Mania week trip before you die. It's just so goddamn great. The sheer spectacle of Mania itself is something that needs to be seen to be believed, even if you're not a fan of WWE. Wrestlecon is a ton of fun, even if you just go to people watch, and if GCW can keep hitting home runs by bringing the independents and CyberFight promotions together like they did this week, I promise that you won't regret it. Even if you have to go by yourself, you'll meet some really cool people if you're willing to make conversation with strangers. Some of them might be a little autistic, but aren't we all? We're pro wrestling fans after all.

I don't think Cena turns heel without getting one last run with the title. There are too many story opportunities that would be wasted if Cena doesn't win. It feels right for Cody's reign to end after a year.

I think Cena could do great things with the title and Im cool with either of them winning really, Its one of the harder matches to predict this WrestleMania imo, one one hand you have Cody who they could easily get another year of mileage as Champ, plenty of guys he could feud with like Orton,Mcintyre,Punk,Breakker,etc. on the other hand Cena winning #17 as recognized by WWE would be huge for the company, and the threatening to retire as Champ thing would draw heat, sorta like when Punk threatened to leave with the belt in 2011 and they made a copy of the belt, plenty of angles to run, people who accuse them of fumbling are speaking nonsense to me

I'm surprised HHH mentioned Chyna and Billy Gunn in his speech as part of DX 2.0/DX Army and call it the most fun he ever had during his career, but didn't mention Dwayne or his feud with him all 2000 that made him the de facto heel of the WWF.

I noticed Shawn didn't mention Rock as one of HHH's most memorable feud rivals during his induction either. Odd.

No mention of Vince either.
Austin mentioned Vince multiple times, so it's not like HHH couldn't talk about how Vince basically molded him into the head honcho position.

Edit: He mentioned Vince, and admitted to skirting mentioning the man, but ultimately gave him his props.

Yeah The Rock going unmentioned is odd, it doesn’t look like Dwayne is there so maybe he’s flying in later today if they do plan on some sort of interference spot, if not then Cena vs Cody will probably be a clean finish with Vince I can understand Stone Cold isn’t a full time employee of WWE but HHH is basically the mouthpiece of the company now so he’s probably omitting him for PR Purposes

Foley is still my all time favorite despite how radically different his politics are from my own. I've heard him say some really retarded shit and I would never even dream of calling for him to be "canceled," even though I could not say for certain that he would say the same of me... But I've already said too much. Incoming stone heads.

He would, provided you were a wrestler like him.
Foley seems to make exceptions for his co-workers of the era like Taker, JBL, Val Venis, and Al Snow.
For random fans? He'd probably stop talking to you and sock you if you insisted on continuing conversation.

And that's rare. Most wrestlers who've talked in interviews have said politics were almost completely avoided (mostly because booze and cooze were more important to them anyways) and the only wrestlers I know who did engage in political thought and disagreed vehemently yet stayed friends were Danielson and Kane, to the point when Kane first had plans for political office, Bryan was one of the people who encouraged him to try.

hard to dodge the bullet, like with Cena hes responsible for their success and in Cena's case the reason he was propelled to become a massive movie star, obviously what Vince did was bad, but I understand why HHH would thank him for at least that, Twitterfags be damned

I can't imagine myself seething on anything related to coconut niggers despite not watching WWE at all every time. I'll rather watch Roman over Jericho and the "Desu Riderz" anytime.
