Where is this coming from though? It’s good stuff but almost doesn’t even seem like him like he got a intern running his account.
THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
I hope not.
I never cared for heel "Hollywood" Rock when he came back to WWE about 20 years ago.
And if they are still building towards a Rock vs. Roman match down the line at some point, it doesn't make sense to have a heel vs. heel match.
So two heels fighting each other??? Rock talked more about Cody's fans instead of Roman! Who's the babyface in this? Now, I would expect Roman to win AND THEN Cody goes to the next Wrestlemania. Did we need to convolute this? It seems folks was going to buy this PPV anyway.
I don’t think that’s the plan. I think Cody finds himself at Mania against Reigns. Not sure how but I think Rock giving the alley oop to it.
Is it the promoter that is telling them to calm down or the wrestler saying they don't want to do that anymore? A promoter doesn't care! They'll put your body through the meat grinder and not give a damn. I'll create promos and still get my money's worth (see Adam Cole). But the wrestler when you're young you think you're invincible, you keep having these Strong Style Dave Meltzer 5-star Huge Load Meme style ass matches and in your 30's your bodies like: "Fcuk this shyt I'm out!"
Look at it like this Strong Style is a lot like the style of play the Detroit teams (Piston championship teams, Lions, Red Wings) have. Red lining the entire game. That shyt isn't sustainable. It's the reason why Detroit Pistons have only one three titles. That style of play just wears the body into nothing. While Lakers, Celtics and Bulls will have a Dynasty. That style of play will last a lot longer.
Not really true. A promoter "cares" about their investment, and sometimes that investment is in the wrestlers they employ.
Hell look at some of the banned moves on WWE, as big a piece of shit Vince McMahon is, he cared for his investments (money spent on bringing in talent) to ban certain moves, especially when some of these moves caused bodily injury.
That's why some call the WWE style of wrestling "safe style" versus the BS you see in the Indies. Yeah, I doubt Vince McMahon gave a fuck about the people he employed as independent contractors, but he "cared" about the money invested in these independent contractors, selling t-shirts, shows, posters and tickets.
Sometimes wrestlers have to be saved from themselves.
Look at Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan being forced to retire early in WWE. WWE didn't want to see him suffer multiple injuries in their ring.
Now that AEW has signed Mercedes Mone this is what TK needs to do with the division.
- Tony needs to take a step back and bring in someone to book the women's division properly. Hire Scott D'Amore or someone with real experience. It's time to really double down and make this work.
- Mercedes needs to be on TV every week whether she's wrestling or not.
- There needs to be at least two women's matches/segments on every show.
- Get Athena off of ROH and back on AEW TV.
- Britt Baker needs to be Mercedes's first feud/program. Great feud to start right out the gate.
- Introduce the Women's version of the Continental classic tournament.
- Use Stardom's faction format to storytelling. Put every wrestler in a faction and have a top wrestler be the cornerstone of each faction. For example...
Athena's faction
Britt Baker's faction
Mercedes's faction
Shida's faction
Thunder Rosa's faction
Toni Storm's faction
And so forth. Doing this makes it easier to book singles, tags, and trios feuds while also developing on going storylines. Plus it gets more women on tv and it creates an environment where fans can root for a specific wrestler within a faction. Stardom are masters at this.

Anthem wants to be WWE like, they just got back on the map when D’Amore took over.
This is a Bret in Canada situation. Rock is only the heel if you aren't also a shit-talking asshole
She isn't coming Mariah. Instead call up Mina Shirakawa and get in AEW.
Roman laughing at Seth's belt got me good lol
Samoan World Order 
That shit took me back 20 years lol
Damn, WWE cooked with that press conference. 
Looks like The Rock and Roman are aligned now vs. Cody and Seth.
I'm guessing a tag team match for Elimination Chamber and then finally Cody vs. Roman at WM

LOL, Rock said "I'll slap his fucking teeth out of his mouth". Definitely not PG. LOL
Just watched the Press Conference show on Peacock. Goddamn that was more entertaining than some episodes of Raw. Lolz, yeah I'm a WWE Mark....but the storytelling they are doing is coming together. Love when WWE mixes realism with the entertainment world of pro wrestling. If there ever were an example of Vince McMahons touch no longer being on the product, tonight's press conference would have been it.
That shit was dope. I just wish they do a promo with Cody explaining what happened last week on Smackdown, because I can see how some may still be confused with what was going on.
I said it last week, there is still so much time to tell the story and tonight they really went in on the storytelling, even if it started a little sloppy last week.
Fuck, now I'm excited for WrestleMania. Dammit lol

Dear Zeus, Apollo, Baby Jesus, and JehovahPlease, PLEASE, let this man show up on Smackdown tomorrow and repeat this in front of WWE fans in a hopefully sold-out arena.
What the fuck is happening on this page?
Wtf is this press conference shit?
Did this air on TV?
3 hour Raw, 2 hour Smackdown, how ever long NXT is
, and they still gotta story tell in extra press conferences

It was a press conference to set up the matches and main event for Wrestlemania, which is now confirmed as Roman vs. Cody.What the fuck is happening on this page?

It aired on Peacock, YouTube, and WWE social media feeds.
They do these press conferences every year for WM, but this one was especially intriguing since the main even was still up in the air.
It was honestly better than any RAW or Smackdown you'll see with the story being told.
This was such a a success, I think WWE will do this moving forward. They will piggyback off Super Bowl week, run the annual WrestleMania press conference in the Super Bowl city to hype up Mania, due to the intersection between Football fans and wrestling fans..
It sounds amazing.
I didn't watch Raw yet this week. I was gonna wait until Saturday morning to watch Raw & Smackdown together.
And I'm pissed to be learning about all these important developments thru social media and BGOL.
Also, I think they need to bring in a Women's Tag Team Title Belts in the Division!!..They have enough women wrestlers on the roster to do that!!..
Theyll most likely pull the trigger on Damian cashing in at WM..Damn, WWE cooked with that press conference.

Agreed. Way too much wrestling as it is. What’s the point of promos if u have to have a press conference? Glad I don’t pay for any of this crap
The WWE been doing WWE pressers for Mania for as long as I remember.
This shit was great because you know why? We don’t know what is going on. All these dirt sheet fans who want shit to go there way? Confused and this is what it’s suppose to do.
