sek69 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Man, Shelton might be the most underused person ever in wrestling. Practically everyone agrees he's great, and yet his highest profile ever was being the Arn of the Hurt Business. Quote
Dav'oh Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Tapped out after an hour and a bit of today's RAW, which is about as long as I lasted with season 1 of It's Always Sunny Quote
sek69 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 I suppose it's another sign of being in a post-Vince in creative world when Cody's return in the Rumble is being promoted weeks in advance and not a Cena style surprise. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Posted January 17, 2023 Great little match between Tozawa and Reed. Bronson will do great stuff. Quote
sek69 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 We nee Bronson vs Otis for the meatiest BIG MEATY MEN match of all time. Quote
sek69 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 I think Dolph at this point is the WWE version of someone who hung around in real sports forever and piled up a bunch of stats because of that but was actually pretty average. Quote

I remember when he came to MLS I was like "wow we get to see one of the GOATs" and then watching him play. Also WWE getting lucky as fuck having a major football game end up an early blowout two weeks in a row . Quote
ButchReedMark Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Ah fuck I missed the cowboys game Quote

I love you brudda but Ibrahimovic was far from average and still carries teams on his back at the age of 97. Now, Lukas Podolski, or especially Steve Bull - then we are chatting. ooooh! I’ll have Kevin Phillips as well. And the very very best for this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhys_Griffiths_(footballer) Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Posted January 17, 2023 Podolski ain't even mediocre, he's just fucking bad! Somehow he's a World Cup winner despite his best seasons being in like 2002 or 2003. Ibra is overrated as shit. Yeah, a big man who can dribble as well as he does is impressive, but you never could really count on him during Champions League knock-out games and he spent his early 30s hiding in the then awful Ligue 1. No simpy from me! Choked on the big stages much like KENTA when he had that one RAW match. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Posted January 17, 2023 The corpse of Tom Brady has been defeated. This must have felt like Goldberg beating Hogan's ass. We know that old fart ain't done but it sure feels good watching him lose! Quote

And he’s better than the love child of Romario and John Charles, if they ever had one. Quote

I watched Main Event yesterday. What’s fucking going on with Von Wagners Brow/Forehead area. Wayne Bloom had a perfectly normal, non bulging above eye level head. Von Wagners pushes like a rejected prosthetic from total recall or a on thing. It unsettles me and he should be made unemployed post haste. Mike Enos needs a wrestling child as 1) He was ace to be fair so the child should be too and 2) it wouldn’t have a fucking weird bulbous top of the cranium. Quote

And in this case, really being the lesser choice. The Rumble is already sold out and breaking gates record. They don't need to sell a PPV. It makes it kinda plain. There's nothing like the pop of "we know it's happening even though we haven't been told", and Cody coming back unannounced would have blown the roof off. The pop will still be gigantic (I guess), but yeah, not the same feel. What is totally a Vince creative world is bringing back older stars for the 30th anniversary (30 years, and people still are trying to compare a 3 and a half years old show with it in term of public reach and awareness, yes they do) show, including Ric Flair of course. Because ya know, flight attendants and tanning bed salons employees notwithstanding, gotta get that pop from this always wonderful audience. Quote
NintendoLogic Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Yeah, let's be honest. Now that winning the Rumble doesn't necessarily mean anything special in terms of card placement at Mania, the only reason to watch is for surprise returns. That is, unless you really enjoy watching people hang from the apron while holding onto the ring ropes for an hour. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Posted January 17, 2023 Plus it's not like Cody wouldn't get a big fucking pop regardless. They are just hyping the shit outta him because he is beating Roman. Quote
Embrodak Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Did anybody have Cody in the “who will dethrone Roman” pool a year ago? Dude has to feel like the biggest pimp in the world. To go from accidentally putting yourself through a flaming table for no reason in an unimportant match against Andrade to maybe winning the Royal Rumble and beating the most dominant champ in decades is an unbelievable upgrade. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Posted January 17, 2023 The moment he made his WM debut, it was kinda clear to me that he would at least get that title shot. When he had that HiaC match with a torn pec and a babyface performance for the ages, it was just a matter of time before he took it from Reigns. Quote
El-P Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 The ultimate irony is that, the ONLY reason it can happen is because of AEW happening. If Cody doesn't come back from a red hot AEW, he's the former Stardust who had a bite in ROH, IMPACT and NJPW. He's not even close to a main event star to their eyes. Even after All In, there's no way Cody comes back with this kind of status. Their star making process has been so broke over the years that it took a strong competition to actually build one of their former whatever talent to a legit star status in their own eyes. I'm not convinced he's beating Roman. They probably should do it and shoot their shot with Cody while the iron is hot, but I'm not convinced it happens. Quote
Big Pete Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 It's weird how in Pro Wrestling going to a different promotion or taking your ball and going home gets you more over. I can see both arguments for the Cody announcement. From my POV, as soon as he injured his pec, we were already calling for the Royal Rumble win so putting that on the table now instead of treating it as a surprise at least shows some respect to the audience. Not to mention it's a good way to build some anticipation and stakes heading into the match instead of just serving up the match and expecting fans to care. We all saw how that went last year. Quote
