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

Actually this dude is known to be a very safe worker. Entertaining as hell to watch. He gives me a Jack cartwheel vibe. Entertaining but their move set and lack of character means they’ll never make it to wwe level. Good times for us Indy fans though!
I have no clue who he is. He can be the safest worker ever. With that said, I understand being a wrestler is inherently risky. It just looks like that maneuver is too risky. And if I was his opponent, I would never agree to sell that move. The payoff wouldn't be enough. The setup which is not in the tweet wouldn't look very TV friendly without looking fake. If he's tired, it leaves your legs exposed to a major injury if the maneuver isn't executed perfectly every time.
Watched tonight's AEW show....wanted to like it but just found it boring.
The reasoning behind Cole turning on MJF was weak. Why help Samoa Joe win it? Yes, I know, MJF is injured...it just comes off making Joe look weak, and Wardlow look even weaker by being Cole's lacky now...
No Mercedes but Deonna Purrazzo debuted. I'm sure that will help their women's division, doubt that'll put butts in seats...Also, is she looking extra heavy or was it me? Crowd looked dead and disappointed it wasn't Mercedes lolz
Darby and Takeashita was entertaining for a few.
The four way match to see who will face Eddie was just a spot fest with no real story. I hate when AEWs cameras spend too much time on wresters (Vikingo in this case) finishing a move and just chilling outside the ring waiting for the match to finish. As long as he got his shit in I guess.
The Garcia/Swerve match was decent, even with that botch. I'm not feeling the dancing shit, it just comes off as too cartoonish for a man like Swerve to be taken seriously. He needs to drop Nana.
The ending was kind of dumb and made no sense to have Hangman out there and confront Swerve.
One minute Hangman cuts a promo pissed off at Adam Cole and the Undisputed Era/Samoa Joe attacking him, next minute he attacks Swerve in the ring. Yeah, I know they had a brutal match a few weeks ago but...Why?

My thoughts on last night's Dynamite...
I thought it was an good show. A step in the right direction and a reset of sorts for 2024. It felt fresh and focused. Multiple and consistent stories. Solid promos and character progression. Good matches.
- Samoa Joe's opening promo was short and sweet and established what needed to be established.
- Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett and Wardlow have now been repackaged as Undisputed Kingdom. I had no issue with why Adam Cole did what he did. The good that can come out of this is it's created a variety of storylines. Jay White/Bullet Club Gold are after Undisputed Kingdom. The Acclaimed are after Undisputed Kingdom and MJF when he returns from injury will be after Undisputed Kingdom. There's an array of storylines you can milk for months and months to come.
- What more can be said about Christian Cage. Doing the best work of his career. Phenomenal stuff!
- I love that all the matches had clean finishes continuing the sports based feel of the Continental classic tournament. This is what we want. The less Shenanigans involved in a match the better. Give us New Japan style clean finishes.
- Mariah May's debut was a success. The Stardom training has really paid off. She's fluid in her move execution and movement. Her presentation and charisma were on point and she's a solid promo. She'll have a great career in AEW if TK doesn't fumble her.
- I love that Deonna Purrazzo is All Elite. A great addition to the women's division. A main eventer who is gonna give you solid feuds and matches. I already see a great feud she can have with Britt Baker in the future.
- There does seem to be an added focus on the women's division as of late. Hopefully TK is serious about turning the women's division around because with the amount of talent that they have in that division it could easily be the best women's division in the United States if book properly.
- Although it was speculated that Mercedes was going to show up I understand why they didn't have her debut this week.The show was in New Jersey so it made better sense to have Deonna Purrazzo debut in her hometown. Bringing Mercedes out would've stepped all over that. They'll probably have Mercedes come out next week where they can put the full attention on her. Do a tease vignette on "Collision" where you don't see her face but you get the hint that it's her then next Dynamite you debut her.
- The Takeshita/Darby match was fantastic. So many great spots. It's been so long since Takeshita has been in the ring you forget how special he is. He definitely needs to see gold of some kind in 2024.
- The four way between Trent Beretta, Brian Cage, Bryan Keith, and Vikingo was just okay. At least it was to determine the next opponent for Eddie Kingston.
- Swerve/Daniel Garcia was good. TK overbooked the ending by having Hangman come out. Why are we revisiting this feud? Give Swerve somebody new. Give Hangman somebody new.

Looks like Ziggler is New Japan bound.

While I'm happy Stardom is doing another show in Anerica, having it on Wrestlemaina weekend isn't a good idea.
You damn right it is.
Hopefully TK can get a partnership with Stardom so Mina can come over and work some shows with Mariah.
My favorite spot of the Takeshita/Darby match last night.
Great match! They need to run it back one more time.
The prelude to her making the jump to America.
Tetsuya Naito the new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion!
So, she going to make her in ring debut in WWE at their upcoming PPV's?? or WWE don't know what they are going to do with her yet??
I would imagine Royal Rumble. After Nia Jax clears the ring, she comes out and has a faceoff with Nia Jax.
I'll watch this tonight. Between watching Dynamite last night and WrestleKingdom this morning I'm pooped.
Oh...I don't watch WWE no more so I don't know what's going on over there...So her and that Nia Jax chick already got beef over there??
Lolz Forbidden Door between AEW/WWE happened! You called it!
Just to hear you admit that you were wrong...I'll TAKE IT!!!!
Starks will be in WWE soon, we all know that right? Ricky isn't gonna fit in on an independent scene. He's a solid US champ. Contender to the big belt, but never getting the belt. But then again the WWE machine could shape him into a big belt champion!
He will have a great run in NXT and if rumors are true that WWE and TNA will have a working relationship, I can see Ricky perfecting his craft there as well, before getting the call up to the main roster.
I honestly DON'T see him as a World Champion in either promotion. He's a good promo but none of his matches stand out to me. Midcarder is the ceiling for him.
So you saying Jade will prob might her debut at Royal Rumble and start feuding with this Nia Jax wrestler or whoever wins the Royal Rumble??..
And I'll actually be at Royal Rumble too. Waiting for her to come out so I can scream "Let me eat that Jade pussy" not giving a damn about the kids sitting around me
