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

[Mastermind2002]

It's simple. Vince McMahon over the years has done an excellent job of conditioning people into believing that the WWE brand is the embodiment of what wrestling should be so if you see something that is different from that model you naturally dislike it. Your conditioning won't allow you to be open-minded to other possibilities and this leads to tribalism. Those who are fortunate enough to experience wrestling outside of that WWE bubble see the full spectrum of what wrestling can offer.

They complain what goes on outside of WWE but fail to acknowledge shit like this.

He should be about 50 by now shouldn't he? He still in the business?

He was damn near 50 when he started. lol

 

[NightMare Paint]

Big dog is 58!
Look like he had to recover from a major surgery. Most wrestlers his age can barely move.

When Warner Media/Discovery said they wanted more AEW content they weren't lying. Dynamite, Rampage, All Access and now another in ring wrestling show. This is really great news for AEW when talks begin for a new TV contract. AEW about to get a massive deal.

You saw the super kick coming, but Jey deserves an Oscar for this entire storyline!

2 things that need to be done with Hobbs. 1)They need to get him the fuck away from QT Marshall.

I am going to disagree with EVERYONE for a moment. QT is GARBAGE!!!! NOBODY wants him on their TV!!!! Pairing him with Hobbs where the manager shuts his fcuking mouth and the wrestler does all the talking can possibly put QT over with crowds. Have him be a Bobby Heenan heel manager without the mic skills could be a GREAT pairing.

I was gonna say that Andersen Silva did a similar thing back in the day until I saw the Bayley impression!

Question about Cody Rhodes entrance ....




When is the pyro supposed to go off? It seems like it supposed to exploded on the, "Whoa!!!!"
But every show they seem to miss the mark and it goes off late.
Even the game nailed the "whoa!!!!"



I know it's a nitpick, but it just seems like the kind of thing they'd get right for the guy slated to be the next top guy.
Can you imagine them messing up Roman's pyro. Hell what about Brock?!?! He'd probably walk backstage and give the pyro guy a F5.

I think it's delayed so the "Whoa" comes through on the air. It's a thing now.

Nah that's not nitpicking, really lame to delay it. It's the part where fans get to interact with the song.

I forgot all about those thumb wrestlers. I never see them come up online in videos or conversations.

I've had my fair share of those growing up. I remember having the Hogan and Big John Stud thumb wrestlers. I had them with me when my mom took me with her to see the play Beauty Shop at the Fox theater in the late 80's. When we got outside I told her that I couldn't find Big John Stud. She went back in there and got it.

I just checked. They for cheap on eBay, even in good condition. I gotta pick up them up again.

To be fair a lot of this is on Shotzi. I know Charlotte is capable of working faster than this. From my observation it looks like Charlotte has to slow down and guide Shotzi because Shotzi has never been a good worker and if the match was done at a faster speed it would result in a lot of botches. I can always tell if someone's a good worker or not based on how they run the ropes.

 

[Mastermind2002]

To this day you STILL have WWE marks thinking Hogan was the first person to body slam Andre. Just another example of Vince conditioning people into believing everything fed to them in the WWE bubble.

This is just wrestling. Everybody has garbage matches like this. The problem I have is if this was on AEW it would be how shytty the women's division is and the ladies need to be fired. Granted the women's division is NOT on par with WWE, but the biases is so blatant sometimes.

That's tough to watch. You should never watch a match holding you breath and shielding you eyes when someone does a basic move. It makes it more obvious when Charlotte's long ass arms and legs draws more attention to the awkwardness. Since they cover some much TV screen surface area. Lol.

Kamala also slammed Andre if I remember correctly.

A lot of people did. Vince just wanted to create this narrative that Andre was some unstoppable force and only hulkamania could take him down. The kiddos believed it.

I can't stand that green haired bitch and her dumbass gimmick. Her and her tank are so fucking dumb.

Charlotte Flair can make damn near anyone look good in a match but couldn't help her one bit.

I get wanting the audio to come through on air but having that crowd participation part with the explosion would make the moment feel bigger.

Having that delay always feel like an awkward second where Cody is just waiting with his arms in the air after the crowd is already done participating. Like, "c'mon explode already."

I've noticed the same thing with Edge's Pyro lately. Mayne it's just a new pryo team
It's not a big deal. I just hope they have their A team working Mania.

Charlotte honestly looked annoyed at having to carry her to a half way decent match. She look legit as unfamiliar and uninterested with Shotzi as the crowd when she came out looking like a damn fool in that tank go cart. She didn’t get interested in the match until Rhea came out.

I love that they were smart enough to give Rhea a submission finisher. I think Rhea beats Charlotte with a pin, but the submission moves/will she tap moments are going to have the crowd hype!

Whatever match comes after might be in trouble.
