I really can't wait until Cena shuts Rusev up.
Can't STAND Rusev one BIT
Seriously miffed that Rowan didn't at least land a hit on that son of a bitch, let alone waste him.

Now that's what I'm talking about, Rowan. I don't even care that he lost; at least he gave Rusev a proper beatdown this time.
 
man, I'm a little sad some of my favorite guys are either boring or have stopped wrestling.

;-; you know the Santino era was amazing.

I'll miss you on something good Brodus Clay.
 
I always was under the impression that TNA was a less good WWE.
 
Nah bruh, tna r da bomb
 
This Sunday is the new HOV Fire Express Checkout Fast Lane PPV and the card's pretty stacked.

Cena/Rusev for US Title
Ambrose/Barret for Intercontinental
Usos/Uppercats for Tag Titles
Dust Bros
Reigns/Bryan in a "Fix-The-Wrestlemania-Main-Event" Match

I have a feeling Bryan ain't winning, but I still think he'll get involved at Wrestlemania somehow.
 
so wait, is TNA a good wrestling thing or the not good one?

I'm confused.

TNA was good, but it got real lame lately. It's simply not as entertaining as WWE and doesn't have as many interesting characters as WWE does. While it built up strong, it's practically irrelevant now.

But, predictable or not, Fast Lane's gonna be sweet. Whether or not Bryan wins, at least it's a more satisfying finish than RR was. And I'm definitely looking forward to Cena kicking Rusev's ass.

I have mixed feelings after tonight. Overall though, I guess it was better than the Rumble.


Cesaro has a belt for the first time in nearly 2 years, good for him, and Kidd too for turning his career around.

Cody's said his dream match would be vs Goldust at Wrestlemania and looks like he's getting it. High expectations.

Cena definitely winning at Wrestlmania. Maybe not a bad thing though.

RKOs!

I guess they really want Reigns at Wrestlemania. If they get the same reaction as last month though...

...they can't say it wasn't unexpected.

can we just fire vince mcmahon please
 
Rumor is that Vinny Mac himself is writing Regins' promos. Can you tell that Mr McMahon is out of touch?
Especially when McMahon tells Cena: "Keep it up my [racial slur]!" Even John Cena couldn't believe or sell it. Oh and Booker T happens to be around the corner.

Shoutouts to Botchamania! Can't break that Japanese Table? Just flip it (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
 
I think Roman winning was the only satisfactory thing that happened. Bryan's right: he better kick Lesnar's ass.

Disappointment from virtually all ends, otherwise. Authority wins yet again (though Orton's appearance was pretty nice), Goldust/Stardust thing not settled, Ambrose disqualified, Paige getting eliminated by a lousy move, Uso's losing, Cena losing and now I gotta wait another month for Triple H/Sting to actually fight this time... failure all around.
 
Welcome to mid-Rumble-and-Wrestlemania PPVs. Don't get why they always have these.

60 Minute Iron Man Match for the MiTB briefcase at Wrestlemania. Stewart wins, cashes in on Reigns after main event (clean finish), Colbert debuts and turns heel, interferes. Roman's Reign begins.

So I've been trying to go around and find good alternatives to the WWE main show because McMahon sucks and I really don't want to give him my money.

Lucha Underground is amazing. It airs on a channel called El Rey Network which I don't have but I'll be attempting to find a way to watch this show somehow.

And say whatever you want about Triple H, if this is the type of show he produces in his spare time then I have some faith in the company once the old man leaves. Not sure if I'm willing to pay for Hulu and I'm certainly not willing to pay for the WWE Network, but I will find a good way to watch NXT.

I also hear a lot of good things about New Japan Pro Wrestling. Can any other wrestling fans recommend it around here and maybe provide a sample match? I'm curious.
 
I never realized how much I wanted and needed to see Seth Rollins get nutshot by Jon Steward until this very moment.
 
Monday night was pretty good. The IC Belt is apparently defended 24/7 now, which I like, ha ha. I'm glad with how the Jon Steward/ Seth Rollins exchange went. The main event was... eh. As someone on the Something Awful forums said, "Why make Reigns lose if you want him to look like he won anyway?" "We gotta push this kid for Wrestlemania!" Not really, but ok.

Yeah that was a fun Raw all around. Good to see them getting some steam for Wrestlemania finally.
Really felt like they were hinting that Bryan/Ziggler match.

So this is what Jon's gonna do after leaving the Daily Show
I wish. Would make the product much more watchable.
 
Now, that was a good RAW.

You get a beatdown, and you get a beatdown! EVERYONE GETS A BEATDOWN!

Aside from Cena beating up Rusev and the Triple H/Sting clash, it's the main thing I'm looking forward to in WM honestly.

You mean WWE Amateur Hour? How about no.

Does this main event (which happens to be a Diva Match, something WWE would never allow, hence #GiveDivasAChance) look like amateur hour to you? (39:04)


I don't know if I'm getting worked.

I'm not at all a fan of Diva matches, so I really couldn't care less.

It might be the developmental show...but in a the wwe the focus is no longer wrestling and more entertainment so you get three minute matches with jbl and company ignoring the match and talking about twerking, and matches themselves that are pretty much the same 9 times out of ten...so people beyond the upper card are never actually given a chance to wrestle...and since the whole story of the show is about the heavyweight title...this means no one gets built up...and oftentimes the show can be complete shite just because people tire of the same old thing over and over. I just love having big shoiw and Kane in another main event in 2015 I tell you what. Add to this the limited wwe style with it emphasis on safety and the pg product thing and you have a massive handicap to boot limiting even more what the superstars can do in and out of the ring.

In nxt the emphasis is the wrestling so you get 10-30 minute matches with a little more creativity that resembles the indy wrestling style...like the people in developmental aren't all amateur guys who have been wrestling one year or more..you have guys like Finn Balor or Sami Zayn (world famous guys who already know their craft pretty darn well) who regularly put on what could easily be considered better than what the wwe are regularly putting out barring various exceptions.


The entire "if it's not on raw or ppvs in a wwe product it doesn't matter" thing is rather ignorant to boot. There is currently alot of good wrestling available all around the world. Lucha Underground is absolutely killing it this year...

Not to mention New Japan..which had Jr announce their wrestlemania equivelent this year alongside a record two five star matches in wrestling observer over a couple months span. To put that in perspective wwe has only received a five star rating 5 times in the span of their entire existance. The legendary Misawa holds the mighty record of 25 of these because he was honestly the best wrestler of all time.

Also NXT has Enzo Amore and Big Cass, Bayley, and Hideo Atami (KENTA). That automatically makes it the superior show.
 
Also TNA is/was bad with fleeting moments of brightness..it had/has good wrestlers but oftentimes squanders/squandered them for no reason. Revived Bully Ray's career tho. Also brought us such great wrestlers as Ec3, Rockstar Spud, and Bobby Roode who are all fantastic.
 
Only Lucha Underground would be able to take a casket match and turn it into a MOTY candidate.


I also heard Bayley won a match during the Ohio tapings and that makes me irrationally happy. Please win the matches Bayley.

it was quite good. Lucha Underground still a great great show. Replays are available on daily motion. They recently hired Alberto Del Rio and Ray Mysterio. They are rumored to want to hire the young bucks as well...but who doesn't want to hire the young bucks at this point in time.
