The Wrestling Thread

[Alex]

Oh so the rock was bald all the time.....my mistake.............either you love the rock or you don't...............clearly you and the other rockkettes are praising him for his talking skills,shame it's not for his wrestling skills first.Anyway the rocks back your happy and i can now go to work knowing Imy and co are happy. As for Boring well i thought they were wrestlers and not motivational/life speakers ........any chance i can hire the rock for his speaking skills as the house of commons is looking for a new speaker

The Rock could wrestle too. He wasnt just a talker. Him and Austin had some epic matches.

He might not be up there with Michaels, Taker, Benoit or Angle in the day. But he could definatly go.

Wrestling has not been about the matches for a while now.

Professional Wrestling is meant to be entertaining hence the over the top characters. Austin and Hogan who reached the pinnacle had about 4 wrestling moves (kick, punch, suplex, leg drop/stunner)

The Rock as a character is right up there, he's no Michaels, Angle, Hart, Benoit or Guerero but who is.

If you want to watch technical wrestling then you should watch either the amateur wrestling or smaller promotions like ROH.

Back to Orton not only is his character boring but so is his wrestling style, no surprise when you have crap like him at the top ratings are poor. Give me the entertaining Rock and Austin every day of the week.

I wouldn't recommend that. Some of the guys at ROH can only wrestle in the indy style. There are some in ROH who are very, very good like Davey Richards, Castagnoli and recently Danielson but some of them are ARGH!

And BLANDY BORETON can **** off.

Whatever you say guvnor.....i'm off to get Haircut......gonna ask for a rock special .............enjoy your wreslting folks....sorry i meant entertainment

The Rock is back in wrestling? When did it happen? I might need to start watching this **** again.

He is going to host Wrestlemania, not sure he will be on Raw or Smackdown shows up until then, except for the odd promo?!

He did say he was here to stay also so I hope he sticks around longer than Wrestlemania....

I might have to watch the last 20 mins of Raw again, it was epic.

Doubt he's there to stay. He had a huge tiff with Vince after he left because it wasn't on Vince's terms. They made up in 2009 and Vince thinks now is the best time to bring him back because Wrestlemania looks ****.

Card so far for Wrestlemania is: (white text)
Triple H v Undertaker - HBK Special Ref
Cena v Miz
Del Rio v Edge
CM Punk v Orton
Corre v Nexus
Michael Cole/Alex Riley v King

i think he is almost up there with them and surprised you dont include HHH in that list

I was talking pure wrestling ability. Triple H cant wrestle that well compared to those guys. He can do it well. But those 4 were the best of the modern era.

You think The Rock will ref Miz v Cena

[MrShawnMichaels]

Nah. It puts the stip into overkill. Besides The Rock has nothing besides some verbals at the moment with those two. Unlike the other one mentioned in my previous text who has history. I think he'll interfere and do the People's Elbow on one, if not both of them.

Taker? Really? He's a good wrestler for his size but you need to see his earlier stuff where he lacked co-ordination. Surely Guerrero, Storm or Jericho would be a better shout?

I cant think of anyone other than Taker that has put on consistantly good matches over as long a period he has. Guerrero and Jericho are both amazing in there own right. Storm I can really comment on because Ive not really watched much of him.

But yea, Id argue that Michaels, Taker, Angle and Benoit were the best of the out going generation, consistantly. The other two are just outside IMO.

Its all subjective though.

[Jayesh87]

Hope Jericho comes back for mania and faces Bryan

That was Danielson's first match in the WWE - look for it on Youtube. It was a good tv match. I think most of the internet will jizz collectively at a feud between CM Punk and Danielson.

I think that's a bit revisionist, if you don't mind me saying. Sure he is a very very good worker but he's had just as much **** matches as he has had excellent ones. For the ****, watch (or don't) Summerslam 94. For the excellent, it's Shawn Michaels last year or previous.
