THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....

The Legion of Boom...
It's good to see TNA stepping up.. It looked like there was more than 200 people in the crowd for once..
Chicago should now be considered the best wrestling city in North America. They're hot for WWE, they're hot for TNA, and they're hot for ROH.
Huge week for TNA overall. Attendance record of over 7000 for Lockdown and another 5-6 thousand for Impact that same week.
The match with Aries might have been Sting's best match in a long time. Aries deserves a raise.
As usual, TNA shows WWE how to protect their heels and still keep the faces strong.

Im still giving it to my hometown of Dallas but i love the Chi-Town crowds
Dallas has to show and prove, cant be living off the good ol days.
Count another 2-3 thousand in Corbin, KY (where the hell is that) for Bully's first title defense. This might be the best week they've ever had domestically.
remember this old ad
the woman playing booker's wife could get it..
""FRIIIED chicken, mash potatuhs, corn n' puddin!"

Chicago wasn't hot for Super Clash 3 back in the day

Booker T had me eating the shit out of some Hungry Man dinners!
Have you not seen the crowds whenever they come here? ROH is basically a new version of WCCW & the reason we don't have a dominant indy promotion here is because of all the in-fighting between these local so-called promoters. TNA was here last year and the crowd was great, hell even Arlington was great for Slammiversary. You want an example of how Dallas crowds react to wrestling look no further than the Punk vs Cena match from a few weeks ago

@ AJ clotheslining Storm so hard his hoodie popped back on.
he brought the Russian Sickle back on him
speaking of TNA
- Madison Rayne, who has not competed in recent months, announced on her Twitter account today that her recent absence from the ring is because she is expecting a child:
"I want to announce b4 it gets out elsewhere, that I've been away from the ring b/c @Reaper_3 and I are expecting our 1st Raynedrop in Aug. I appreciate the love & support y'all have shown and can't wait for this new journey."

Booker T in the Hall of Fame
My only question is why did they have to bring up GI Bro?

My question was why did they use the, "We comin for you, nigga" video?
I am watching RAW and it is so predictable right now. It is also very corny. TNA is doing it right finally. Or, maybe I just think the roster is better in TNA. I hope they rebuild the X Division and the Knockouts. On another note, can they put Jake the Snake in the Hall?
Hell Ravishing Rick Rude. I think the problem with Jake is that he's still alive and considering his issues they don't trust him in that scenario.
Boy have they gotten the Swagger-Del Rio thing wrong. The crowd was cheering USA while the Swagger was whooping ass and only started booing after he injured Ricardo Rodriguez.
My question was why did they use the, "We comin for you, nigga" video?
Was done when I saw that!
could tell ricardo sold the hell out of it when he was screaming like a bitch,and had cole and lawler doing their"serious" voices coming back from commercial break
Really? Super Clash 3.

I don't know about ROH being the new World Class but Dallas could be a contender. Chicago just gave TNA one of their largest domestic crowds ever, the same week as their largest crowd ever.

WTF? Love doesn't even work with the chick anymore so why would she even think Tess was talking about her? Thin skinned bitch.
It's them not knowing what they're doing. Week by week, they make ADR softer and softer and his scripted promos are getting worse and worse while making Swagger a bad ass dude. Wrestling fans like bad ass dudes.
My question was why did they use the, "We comin for you, nigga" video?
I was dying at that shit...I had to take a double take like "Did they just play the "We coming for you nigga"? ". Then they hit us with that GI Bro....
I was like damn....Booker had a great career though. As far as African American wrestlers, he's numero uno right? I can't think of anyone else. We consider Rock black but i'm speaking just strictly black with no Samoan heritage...

I think that's what the WWE wants to do. I think they want to make Swagger the bad ass. I got a feeling once Del Rio loses this title he's gonna get buried. He's gonna be on Kofi status.

For me, even considering Rock, it's still Booker. Rock, from the beginning had the "machine" behind him even when fans weren't. Booker didn't have that until late and had the ball snatched from him plenty of times but every time he got a chance, he shined and showed why he should have always been a main eventer.
I saw his and his brother's debut in Global Wrestling as the Ebony Experience and they were rough but they had potential. For Booker to go from a legitimate all time great tag team to becoming an all time great singles is a rare feat and puts him in exclusive territory.
Rock was a bigger star and draw but Booker T was hands down a better wrestler and it's not even close.
Add Booker to the list of guys who will always have missing matches in the WWE library because many of his best involved Chris Benoit.
That would be stupid but it wouldn't shock me.
But I doubt they would bury ADR since they want to break into that Hispanic market and into Mexico.
They took a long ass time to get to Cena burying Darren Young. Shave some time off that and it would have been funny. But even in that mess, Titus has something for real.
Wash rags.
I know Fandango is not about to make his WM debut against a former world champ in Chris Jericho and they still have nothing for their current US champ and a guy with world champ potential in Antonio Cesaro. Mixed up priorities is part of the problem with that damn company.
That must have been the most nothing show of the year. The few good moments were diluted with long stretches of nothing.

Booker and his wife Sharmel were sitting behind us at a Rockets game a couple of years ago. I've run into him a couple other times too. Real cool cat to chop it up with. Congrats to him on getting into the Hall of Fame.

Good to hear. I hope he and his brother have moved past whatever had them not speaking for years.
I guess because me and my brothers are close and we always liked them being legitimate brothers (and Black), it hit me kind of strange to hear they weren't speaking.
That series put him on another level. He had already had some good matches with Rick Martel and Perry Saturn over the TV title but the Benoit matches were special.
People always talk about the best of 7 but they had like 3 great time limit draws before those that set the best of series up. I still remember being like
when Benoit came out to challenge Booker for the TV title the first time.The forgotten man in that was Fit Finlay, who walked into the middle of that feud and beat both of them and himself became a star.

I expect them to do something to hotshot those ratings for next week. They are going in the wrong direction for Mania.

I thought that having Fandango come out with that huge production and then leave was pretty classic heel tactics. I wish he would decide whether he was White or Latino tho. He goes from sounding like Del Rio to Val Venis to Dolph Ziggler in the span of one sentence.
I hear you but The Rock was better on the stick...I respect Booker but I'm not sure that he was MILES ahead of The Rock in the ring...especially when you consider the fact that The Rock was only a full time wrestler from 1996-2002

The tactic is cool, even if Jericho just did it last year. But it's another young midcard guy with a gimmick that has no hopes of being a main event player no matter how good he is in the ring.
Rock was much better on the mic.
I stick "miles ahead". Rock could go but at his best, he's a limited guy. Booker could literally do everything, from being a decent mat wrestler to a great brawler to being a 260 lbs guy who could pull over that rolling legdrop from the top rope.
Really good lineup for a free iPPV next month
2CW will return to Watertown, NY with a free iPPV that features a really loaded card on Saturday 4/20.
2CW in Upstate New York announced they would be debuting on iPPV with a free broadcast on Saturday 4/20 at the Fairgrounds Arena at 8 PM. The card will feature:
*2CW Heavyweight Champion Kevin Steen vs. John Hennigan (Morrison)
*Matt Hardy vs. Sami Callihan
*Spike Dudley vs. Masada - No Holds Barred.
*Colt Cabana vs. Slyck Wagner Brown
*“Juggernaut” Jason Axe VS. Isys Ephex - Stairway to Hell Match
*The Punisher VanSlyke & Kevin “The Man” Graham 2CW’s Tag Team Title Challenge
Also appearing will be Rachel Summerlyn, Colin Delaney, Super Smash Brothers, Bin Hamin, ZSIII, and many more.
The two top matches will be great but the sleeper might be the Cabana vs Brown match. Slyck should have been in WWE or TNA a long time ago.
Mic Work - Rock
Ring Work - Booker T
Rock's advantage was being incredible smooth in the ring and making any match look believable, Booker T on the other hand was an outstanding wrestler who could do it all (except lucha). Both were great in their own right but each had something the other couldn't do which isn't a bad thing imo, i mean we all saw the horrible idea WCW had when they thought it would be a good idea to have Booker T impersonate Rock
From NoDQ
This all sounds great which means it won't happen, after all what happened to HHH wanting to bring the TT division back?

While Rock was limited, the best thing about him was how he bumped for smaller guys like Jericho and Benoit. He made them look credible when they beat him even though he outweighed them by 20-30 lbs.
He can want all he wants but the boss's name is still Vincent McMahon and he thinks tag teams suck.
I knew it
They had to do it. Taryn's okay but Ivelisse can really go in the ring.
Bully Ray is doing a HELL of a job explaining the whole Aces and Eights storyline.
Is A.J. Styles gonna be a mix of Sting and Steve Austin?
He did a great job indeed
i concur.
and i bet she wont be the only one,they probably will start adding more females to the group,like,say,Daffney(since she was in the audience at the Knockouts PPV),as well as maybe even Mickie James and Madison Rayne if she decides to come back after having the kid..
however if they end up having Dixie Carter herself join up
