Official Pro Wrestling thread?
- Thread starter BeardOfKnowledge
- Start date
We had a pro wrestling forum when the site was started. I'm in but there is only a couple of us.
Might as well start with a single thread and see if we can grow it. Gives us somewhere to talk about what's going on in the WWE universe.
Of course we are gong to lose it in the middle of Raw tonight, lol.
Anyone watching Raw tonight? Great opening match.
I'm hoping that over time it'll grow. Maybe even if we don't get a sub forum, we can at least get this stickied somewhere. You watching Raw tonight?
Don't mind Dana, he's still upset that his biggest PPV draw was a WWE creation.Wrestling is fake and deserves no respect

I caught Rollins' promo then turned it off once Neville's music hit. Neville is good, but his gimmick (or lack thereof) is already getting stale. Plus, the pace of the three hour Raws is just too slow for me. There's a website that has the VOD up about 30 mins after it goes off-air, so I can watch and fast forward through the boring stuff.
Marathoning the legacy content on WWE Network has really fucked me up when it comes to the modern product. Today's pro wrestling can't hold a candle to '96-'98. It's so boring and predictable nowadays. I've been waiting for them to turn the corner and start getting a bit edgier, but it feels like they want to stick out the whole PG thing until the end of time.

I don't watch it weekly, but I'll watch the NXT PPVs when they come around. I agree their presentation is light years ahead of the main roster. I actually went to school at Full Sail University where they film most of the NXT stuff. I need to drag my ass down there one day to catch a live show.
Wow. You weren't kidding
@JohnyHendricksBeard. That opening match was intense. Rollins definitely deserves to have the belt. He's proven to be the most worthy of the former Shield members. Funny how he was the most overlooked at that time.
And Neville has such skill. He and Rollins paced that match perfectly. It's just a shame that they packaged him so poorly with the shit generic music and Darkwing Duck costume/colors. Hopefully they'll repackage him in the near future and give him something a little less cartoonish to work with.

Yes I watched nxt last night and thought it was good. Really the first time I watched an entire nxt event. Cool they had liger and Samoa joe on the event. I didn't know joe was a part of nxt.
I have two televisions in my living room and will be watching both tonight. Sound will be on summerslam as I can watch MMA without anik and whoever.
Crazy that the ufc would have an event against a Brock wwe main event. Doesn't seem like good timing to me. I expect the ufc ratings to be pretty low for this card.
Soooooooooooooo much money spentSo much money spent....
It was my first time watching the full thing too, even though im already a fan of some of their athletes. That Bayley vs Sasha match killed it even though it looked like they couldve seriously hurt themselves on multiple occasions.
...And im always a fan ok KO, hope they put him over tonight.
Fuck yes I watched it. Missed out on a little of the beginning due to reasons beyond my control, but I've got it pvr'ed. I think there are instances where they intentionally put weak Fox cards against WWE events to have an excuse for weak ratings. I'll be wataching Summerslam, but flipping to Fight Night between matches. They did it at some point earlier this year too.
I've said before, I often miss Raw, but I always watch NXT. The level of effort just feels so much higher in NXT than it does on the main roster, one can only hope as they move up, that level continues.
