The Wrestling Thread

[chadrtc]

The tag match has been thrown together at the last minute.
The Intercontinental match has been thrown together at the last minute.
The HHH / Sting match has had only one person involved in the build up (not counting the incredibly fake looking Sting).
Bray / Taker has been even worse.

The Andre the Giant Memorial match is just filled with the leftover wrestlers that had nothing to do (apart from Miz and Mizdow who had a story, but they decided to not bother using it).

Cena v Russev has some story, but will be as much fun as bashing a nail into your forehead with a sledgehammer.

And finally Reigns has been pushed too far, too soon, at the expense of other people that deserve it more.

That's a pretty good summary of the situation.

Agreed fully.

The worst person to come out of all of this is Daniel Bryan. From main eventing Wrestlemania, he is now in a match with R-Truth and Stardust. Those guys can't tie his laces. They've done a real job on making him seem like a nothing character. All because he's short, looks like a goat, doesn't look like a superstar etc etc. Forgetting the fact that he was/is over with the audience. At worst, he should be the second over babyface.

Reigns seems to be getting zero reaction which is worse than a negative reaction. No one seems to care about him.

Yeah I agree Jay. One of the worst builds to Mania I can remember. Ratings are down at the moment during the peak which says a lot about the storytelling.

Dont know if anyone listens to it but I heartily recommend the Steve Austin Show podcast. He tends to interview a lot of wrestlers and people around the industry, its great craic. Just a couple of weeks ago he had a really interesting chat with HHH which went into HHH's role with WWE, storylines etc.

Taker to stay of screens until Mania.

Nothing too exciting about Wrestlemania build up this year.

Hopefully Brock extends his contract.

With all due respect, please piss off to a thread you're not trying to wind people up in.

It's the same tired abuse thrown at it. People enjoy it, so people watch it. Not hard is it.

Down boy lol....just asking. I know it's entertainment. I used to watch it but it was when I was really young.

[MrShawnMichaels]

Slap a hammer lock on him Alex. That'll learn 'im

Tie up, shoot off the ropes, duck, headlock takeover go into a hammerlock.

Balor is great and that match was very good too. As was Zayn v Owens, though I do think they had even better in RoH.

In other news....

#SayYesMadonna Grado's entrance - Like A Prayer on TV! - YouTube

Agreed, their feud in RoH was good but I imagine this is just the start of it. They had to write Zayn off with him missing the tapings and going to Abu Dhabi - had to be done because of his presence in the Arab world.

Has Grado managed to get the rights then? I know TNA couldn't get them from Madonna. It's such a surreal entrance especially when he was doing it in ICW.
