THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

[Mastermind2002]

Solid match between Swerve and Penta except one problem. Penta does his arm snap maneuver on Swerve and he doesn't sell it at all. His arm should be broken however he continues the match like nothing happened. I hate the way TK has nerfed Penta in AEW. I want Lucha Underground Penta back.

 

[Mastermind2002]

Keith Lee looks refreshed in this match against Samoa Joe. He's moving fantastic! Where has this version of Keith Lee been?

 

[Mastermind2002]

Samoa Joe beats Keith Lee then vacates the ROH TV title. Why not just put over Lee as the new Champ? Tk's stupid booking strikes again.

 

[Mastermind2002]

I love how the Gunns have transformed themselves into one of the best tag teams in AEW. Fantastic heel work and they're ring work has improved a ton as well.

Joe challenging Max after a title loss wouldn't have hit the same.

 

[Mastermind2002]

If done right this could be dope. Doing it right would be filming the street fight ahead of time on the streets of Tokyo Yakuza style then airing it at Full Gear.

He shouldn't be challenging Max right now to begin with.

 

[Mastermind2002]

My Champ!

 

[Mastermind2002]

Loved this!

It's official! Underwhelming way to debut her though. Teaming her with Toni Storm should be great though. Loved that Mariah mentioned her run in Stardom.

Probably going to have her stalking Toni..like that whole Micki James/Trish Stratus thing in WWE

 

[Mastermind2002]

Jay White is too damn good not to be a World Champion down the road. Dude is a perfect heel. I loved his work in New Japan and I'm loving his work in AEW.

 

[tajshan]

Every now and then you have to remind people.................

 

[Mastermind2002]

I hope not. She's better than that type of storyline.

 

[tajshan]

I wouldn't be against it. They just need to have an all Joshi faction.

I feel like that's what's coming if and when Asuka returns.

[Mastermind2002]

Not right now. She's getting there though. She just needs to keep getting better in the ring and she'll see gold in 2024.

 

[chrislee]

Should've just held onto the title. Even a triple threat match and have someone else eat the pin.

 

[Mastermind2002]

 

[Mastermind2002]

Only thing missing is a booker who can book the division properly. Talent is not the issue.

 

[XXXplosive]

Loved this!

Toni's character development in AEW has been excellent. I'm loving this character too.
This is the perfect example of someone leaving WWE for AEW and being allowed creative freedom to do their own thing.
Too bad most of the other WWE exiles in AEW have gotten lost in the shuffle or have come up with lame characters.

She'll get lost in the shuffle just like every other female wrestler that debuts in AEW.
Too bad, she has the look and promo ability to be a star here in the U.S.

 

[Mastermind2002]

There's people out there that think that TK didn't fire CM Punk and that it's him playing this Devil character. Others believe Adam Cole's injury is a work and he's the devil. I'm kinda leaning that way myself. It can literally be anybody though.

 

[EPDC]

Does anyone even care who the "devil" character is? I bet the reveal is going to be as underwhelming and TK's weekly announcements.

Looking at how Cole got hurt, I don't think the injury is a work. I think a lot of people hoped it was when it happened because of the story with MJF. Go back and watch him jump off the side and how he landed. I said immediately, he fucked himself up.

If it turns out to be CM Punk, which I don't belive it will be, that shit would be perhaps the greatest rouse of all time. I honestly think anyone other than him is going is gonna get a meh reaction.

It would be HIGHLY unlikely it's CM Punk.
With the way The Young Bucks paraded around the ring on the first night of Collision after Punk was let go. Not with the way TK described his fear for his life. All the other wrestlers on AEW chiming in about the cancer being removed....

Ain't no way this is Punk. I'd expect it to be Marko Stunt before thinking Punk. It's going to be Cole or Jungle Boy. In other words....meh.

 

[fu2]

I thought about Jungle Boy too. Could it be anticlimactic? Yes.

That's all I got.

 

[Mastermind2002]

If true that sounds better than some rehashed WWE Trish/Mickie storyline.

 

[Mastermind2002]

ROH could've had a TV deal and TK passed on it. Missed opportunity.

 

[EPDC]

Damn, that's fucked up. Wouldn't mind seeing Coach in the USXFL....

 

[EPDC]

Don't watch much of AEW but I always liked seeing The Butcher and The Blade (as fellow Buffalo kids).....I wonder if the Bunny being (possibly) released means their contracts are up too...

Majority of the OG's are gone. Most didn't have staying power. I do miss the original version of AEW. Reminded me of the early TNA & ECW days when it was just alternative wrestling entertainment.
