THE WRESTLING THREAD: HELL HAS FROZE OVER JOHN CENA HAS GONE FULL HEEL

I'm questioning any list that has Ric Flair outside of top 10 :hmm:. The only caveat is it says WWE stars of all time. Ric did his best work in WCW/NWA. That's the only explanation I will accept

Yeah because I’m trying to remember what did Ric do? Evolution was probably his only contributions right? I don’t remember much in WWE.

He had cool moments in his first run when he appeared on WWF Prime Time Wrestling with the Big Gold Belt, and then winning the WWF Championship at the Royal Rumble from the number 3 spot. His feud with Macho Man over Flair's claims of sleeping with Miss Elizabeth was also a memorable storyline, before dropping the WWF title to Macho at WrestleMania 8.

I honestly remember that WWF run more so than his Evolution run as I wasn't really watching Wrestling during the Ruthless Aggression Era.
 
She's pouring it on really thick. Either she saw this as an opportunity to be a big fish in a small pond or she thought the division sucked and she would be the one to push it to new heights. Either way, I'm finding it hard to believe she did it for anything other than the money she was paid.

"I kept on watching the women’s division and my dreams just became so much bigger and brighter and I knew instantly," Yeah ok.

I love her but she just needs to be wrestling already. Either settle on Julia or Willow and start a program. Hell why isn't Saraya even remotely interested in her? There's a pre-made storyline right there. TK relying on unscripted word-salad promos to maintain interest with no in-ring product is a wild decision.

Jade ain't been on Smackdown but 2 or 3 weeks and has already whooped more ass and made a bigger impact.

Mone NEEDS to be in a program. Oh and she also desperately needs some new theme music.

That CEO shit reminds me of that God-awful RVD theme in TNA.

She's super talented but wish she would slow down. I know she has an acrobatics background and that makes up most of her offense, but I have a feeling she'll get hurt again if she doesn't slow down. That said, pretty impressive for someone with only two years in the ring.

The standing moonsault and DDT off the rope were nice though.

Translation: "I told TK I would think about signing with AEW so that my asking price would go up and the money mark would pay me more" :lol:

Probable unpopular opinion incoming ....

I think this year Mania was unnecessarily tampered with by a panic move on their part because of the Vince stuff.

That news dropped and within a week Rock the Dwayne was inserted into the picture. The story with Roman and Cody should be center stage and it's not. Hell even the title and the historic title run aren't center stage anymore.

At best, Rock could have been the ref or cost Roman the title in some way that would finished the Cody story and started the Roman/Rock feud.

I'm allergic to memberberries, so no I don't think, "wrestling is cool again." It got interesting again when Roman carried the company thru the pandemic. It isn't getting cooler because a 50 year old man is saying 'shit' on tv.

It definitely isn't cool that Rock is clearly going into business for himself by going over the top in ways that would get anyone else fired or taken off tv. Even some of those slaps last week looked way too stiff. I hope Cody gives his ass a few receipts on Saturday.

It will definitely be cool when Roman can start roasting his ass in promos. Rock's early 2000s catchphrase bingo is going to be food for the tribal chief.

See this is the exact memberberry bullshit at I'm allergic to. I vaguely remember thinking once that Rock wore a shirt that I made him look like a cow.

Well 20 years and over 100 pound of muscle later, he looks even more like a cow.

:cmonson: I couldn't disagree more, as a person who hadn't watched wrestling in years and was drawn in by the rock and all the coverage he's been getting I definitely don't see it that way, and I'm not the only person in my immediate circle and the forums info to that feel that way. This is an amazing storyline that has made me appreciate guys I had zero interest in like Cody Rhodes, roman, Seth Rollins and all the others involved. I've found this entire road to WrestleMania to have been epic. The numbers also seem to agree with me, I'm seeing articles on cnn, Becky on different interview shows I've never seen wrestlers on let alone female wrestlers, the rock has put a giant spotlight on the WWE and it's undeniable. You don't have to like it but you can't act like the rock hasn't made this massive.

This could turn into a good platform for mid card guys to start to make a name for themselves and get over with the fans.
A lot of times all you need is 3 minutes to show the fans what you can do.
This seems like the perfect platform for a guy like Ricochet to show off all his moves and not have to worry about promos.

I agree. I liked what I saw. Quick matches without any botches. It could use a little more selling but at least we didn't see Dragon Lee and Ricochet trade back-to-back-to-back Canadian Destroyers.

This could be a good series for talent you rarely see build themselves on socials. In a world where our attention spans are small thanks to TikTok and social media, having a series of matches on Twitter that condenses everything into a three minute match will be good for talent. I'm surprised it's a Twitter/X exclusive though, WWE has a ridiculous following on YouTube.

That aside, it was a quick three minutes and done. No story lines just action. AEW fans might love it....or hate it because it's WWE.

That's cool what Cody had said!!..AEW did help him get his name back out there!!..Also, you never know if you might need AEW in the future again!!.. :yes:

No. Cody made a name for himself on the independent circuit after he left WWE, which in turn, helped make AEW a thing.

There would be no AEW without the original All In.

There wouldn't have been an "All In" show without Cody Rhodes.
 
Sami is legit hilarious and has great comedic timing....I think this will be fun.

If someone scrolls by a vid without watching it on Twitter (not calling that shit X) it counts as a view. I wouldn't put too much stock in the numbers on there. Could be a cool thing for mid to low card dudes but, numbers on that platform are pretty superficial with how they're counted.

Regardless of how many of those three minutes people watched, whether they scrolled past or not, the fact that they have reached 1.5 million people is impressive as fuck. And folks who follow wrestling will see wrestling on their Twitter feed so I doubt many just scrolled past, more than likely the algorithm placed it on their feed.

Whether it's accurate or not, having engaged with or reached 1.5 million people is big, whether you agree or not.
