THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
The Mina interview was fantastic as it accomplished its job of showing off Mina's beautiful personality to an American audience. They didn't even get two minutes into the interview and RJ is already talking about Mina's boobs. Highlights of the interview are at the 6:29 and 12:15 points. I also like how throughout the interview RJ's sarcasm jokes completely goes over Mina's head as sarcasm isn't really a thing in Japanese culture. Overall good shit. TK would be an absolute idiot not to sign her when her Stardom contract runs out next year.
It was okay but not better than Moxley/Takeshita, Anarchy in the Arena or Strong/Ospreay.
The Shida effect! Elevates everyone around her and for Emi Sakura to not hold a belt by now is insane.
I didn’t even know they shot that shit live lol.
Facts!!!...This was a good promo that Swerve did!!...
.....I'm looking forward to this match at Forbidden Door!!..This match is going to be straight fire!!..Mastermind2002, I got two early predictions about this match brother!!..1. Swerve will get the win(It won't hurt Ospreay cause he got a AEW Title already)..Or 2. Some is going to come in and interfere in the match!!..
This is going to be a hellva match no matter what!!..
The shit I took after beer and hot wings last night was better than anarchy in the arena.
Okada has done an okay job but he needs to do a better job booking the champions. Makia's red belt reign has been dry. Saroi Anou's white belt reign has been decent but doesn't feel important enough. He doesn't have a clue on what to do with the High Speed championship as he keeps playing hot potato with the belt between Mei Seira, Saki Kashima and Saya Kamitani. Mina, AZM, and Tam Nakano are just floundering around with nothing to do. He's got to inject some energy back into the promotion. With the 5 Star tournament coming up he'll have the opportunity to get things back on track.
This seems to be booking 101. Not sure why this even needs to be explained..smh
They did this with the TV title for wcw and they put them on WCW thunder..lol
Mercedes Mone lame ass is straight tripping and on that BS on what she said that her and willow stole the show!!!!...Shit, people are more upset and pissed that they put the belt on her on her first match at AEW!!...That wasn't right!!..
I'm still upset and pissed about it!!..
TK over analyzes ratings and viewership metrics so for the TV shows he caters to that with his booking instead of a more traditional style of booking. For the ppvs however he books in the more traditional way as with ppvs all he needs to be concerned with is ppv buys.
I enjoyed the match but I also like a wide variety of things. Not everything needs to be Flair/Steamboat to me.
Listen I get ya, and as someone who grew up loving ECW I like a furniture Match shit show as much as the next guy but imo it was just a giant cluster fuck. From the start to finish it was poorly executed in every way, the camera work, the spots, there was nothing appealing or captivating about the match. Jungle bitch walking around clearly drenched in flame retardant gel gave up the surprise which was also poorly executed. There was no rhythm or reason for anything I was watching and it just fell flat for me and ultimately I couldn't wait for it to be over.
But glad you enjoyed it
Bring her back and get her involved in "Forbidden Door".
The way I would book the Toni/Mariah/Mina storyline. Toni beats Mina at "Forbidden Door" but gives Mina too hard of a post match beatdown for Mariah's liking so she steps in. Toni gets pissed off at Mariah for defending Mina which leads to a war of words but they don't do the split yet. Mariah wins the Owen Hart tournament which gives her a shot at the World title. This causes more friction between Toni and Mariah and then one turns on the other and the split happens. TK books Mariah vs Toni for "All In" and Mariah defeats Toni and wins the title at Wembley. Out comes Mina, and her other friends from Stardom like Waka Tsukiyama, Hanan, Xena, and Xia Brookside to celebrate with her. This all depends however on when Jamie Hayter comes back. If Jamie Hayter comes back before or at "Forbidden Door" then the storyline with Toni/Mariah/Mina goes a different way.
Piper is Scottish bruh. Let ol girl get some shine in her homeland lol
Got to earn that shit bro. We aren't doing charity cases.
This sounds like a good storyline right here brother!!...I think it's time for Mariah May do her own thing now as a solo wrestler!!...She's too good of a wrestler for having her as a laggy to another wrestler!!..It's really time for her to shine at AEW now!!
Also when Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter comes back...Alot of the storylines are going to change in the Women's Division at AEW!!!...It's going to be crazy!!
Nia has improved but she only getting a push because of her cousin.
She hasn't done anything since losing to Athena at "Supercard Of Honor".
No doubt about that, but that's a tale as old as time especially in pro wrestling.
From.the jerretts to the vin Erich's, the McMahons and the harts, wrestling is a family business. I rather see a bunch of Samoans benefit off nepotism then a bunch of cacs like we've seen our whole lives.
It's essentially a super house show. You know this.
Meh, they did some New Japan/Gedo style booking to get Piper that title match where if you pin the champion in a tag match you get a shot. I always hated that. Just have Piper face Bayley in a non title match. Nobody actually believes that Piper is going to win this match so when you make it non-title then that makes it less predictable.
....this guy (Strong) loses his belt to the guy (Ospreay) who is challenging the AEW Champion at Forbidden Door....yet he demands a match, and receives it, against the current AEW Champion (Swerve)....
Talk about charity cases. Whatever happened to the ranking system? Just have Strong face Swerve in a non-title match. No one actually believes Strong is going to win the match so when you make it non-title then that makes it less predictable.....
He is the worst. That clip made no sense, like why even bother having a ranking system?
Yes, I remember that and agree. I hate nonsensical booking. In the case of Piper vs Bayley, I can see how it makes "sense" due to Piper being Scottish. WWE basically giving her a spotlight. Would be a nice surprise if she pulled the upset but she ain't winning. That match should be a throwaway Smackdown match, not a PPV but they are giving Piper a nice go home match. Nothing more.
In the grand scheme of things, the booking and lack of story in Smackdown's women's division is wack. Bayley's reign has been wack as there is a lack of challengers to create a story with. I hope they don't give Piper the belt, just because it's in Scotland. That would be some TK style booking lolz
Yeah, I remember that BS!!...TK did that cause she was from there!!....Was it a Three-way match??
