The Wrestling Thread

Rusev has been gold the last few weeks. Hopefully Owens transitions into a feud with him because I could see them having some excellent matches.

The Divas stuff was interesting although I'm not a big fan of how they were introduced, seemed a bit forced.

Rusev has been excellent. Really taken his character into a new direction. I wish they protected him more because he does have some believability about him, given his size. Those three consecutive losses to Cena have really hurt him.
Owens is heading into the same direction. What a **** ending to that feud.

NXT and New Japan are apparently entering into an agreement.

Exciting times ahead!

If I'm ROH, I'd be very very worried at what WWE is pulling off here.

Last person they deleted from history was for a rather grim reason. Really hope its nothing too horrible.

There is no official word yet from WWE, but there are rumours floating around that Hogan was recorded on tape using racial slurs. This has been highlighted as a rumour by Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer though.

All over the place now. He's ****ed. Basically it's an incredibly racist triage on a sex tape.

Heard them talking about it on 5Live (possibly R2) this morning. Said he was being egged on and goaded. Not sure it matters too much at the end of the day.

Mate said on Facebook today he has apparently taken to twitter to show black people supporting him. Tricked into sharing a photo of Purple Aki!

Oh man, couldn't have happened to a nicer person

He needs to stay off Twitter.

Roddy Piper has passed away.

He'd been behaving erratically recently so it's almost surprising to find out that it was of natural causes.

'Rowdy' Roddy Piper RIP

Wrestling legend Rowdy Roddy Piper dies aged 61

Piper, who died at his home in Hollywood, had been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2006 but last autumn said he was cancer-free

“Rowdy” Roddy Piper, the kilt wearing trash-talker who headlined the first WrestleMania and later found movie stardom, died Friday. He was 61.

Whatever about the wrestling, this was truly his finest hour

R.I.P Roddy Piper

Good event, bad event, good event.

Shame they couldnt be as logcial with Summerslam as the two events either side of it.

Cena v Rollins was a classic, Cesaro v Owens was decent. But the rest was a bit average. Then that main event. It was alright until the ending.

Last nights Raw seems great though. Couple of big returns and a bit more of a clearer story for most people.
