The Wrestling Thread

[MrShawnMichaels]

Think its quite an exciting card. I can remember previous years where most of the matches apart from 2/3 were thrown together in the last 2 weeks.

The top 5 you have mentioned all have been going for around 2 months minimum. Interest is strong here, regardless of what its been like building up.

Is it a Wrestlemania card? Hmm, not sure.





The sad news is of course the death of Perro Aguayo Jnr. Tributes at a lot of the shows and they'll probably continue into the indy shows this week in San Jose.

Apparently the Angle v Lashley title match was good on Impact this week. Mr Michael - been watching it since the move to Destination America?

Yeah, on the whole it has been decent but the UK crowds have really helped, they always do well over here and it improves their overall production. Spud and EC3 had a surprisingly good match the previous week and Ashley - Angle was predictably good. Also Drew Galloway (McIntyre) signed and delivered a couple of really good arrival promos, really looked like a star; hopefully he kicks on.

I do think they have cut back on a lot of the outright ****ery and the show has benefited from it; most of the booking has been relatively logical and with the exception of the ridiculous Revolution group (worst stable since Immortal) the shows are mostly featuring their best talent so I'm happy enough to keep watching.

Lesnar has sacked the UFC off and resigned with WWE.

Certainly makes the main event more interesting on Sunday. Shame we wont get to see Lesnar do his thing again though. He was phenomenal in the few fights he had (except for after his illness)

Yeah, I've heard about the EC3 v Spud bloodbath. Apparently Joe and Aries was good too, besides the finish. Certainly better TV than what Raw and Smackdown is by the sound of things. Not heard great things about the commentary though.

Well worth a watch this for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Interesting and very funny.

It's actually a sequel to one called Death and Return of Superman. Which is also really good.

He nails it doesn't he.

Just finished watching that and it was very enjoyable. Not as big a departure from the original Death of Superman storyline as I was expecting, but would probably have been worth the read had it been greenlit

Did you watch the Pitch? Or the one that was similar to Wrestling isn't Wrestling? Because his pitch is similar to how you describe too.

Yeah it's the vid in which he speaks about his pitch for a reimagining of the Death Of Supes that I was referring to rather than his vid about the original DOS.

However, this was hilarious:
