cm funk Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm a big Cesaro fan going back well over a decade now, but his best work in WWE and really over the years has been as a tag team wrestler. Him and Hero were great back in the day. Real Americans were great. Him and Kidd were awesome. I really like him and Sheamus as a team. I think he's a great tag team guy who's best doing that with an occasional singles push here and there, and there's nothing wrong with being in that spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parties Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 To tie all three together: Meltzer's talking point after attending one of those WrestleMania Fan Access day Q&A sessions was that of the unscripted dudes, Cesaro and Roman were the two who stood out as being way more charismatic and at ease than usual.

DMJ Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Probably not the place to say it, but I see Roman as Batista-esque in the promo department. As a scripted babyface being handed punchlines to read, he is not great, but I predict, when/if he does turn heel, he's going to be really good at trolling the crowd and getting heat (like that Batista run against Cena where he was doing those spotlight promos).

sek69 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Can someone explain this interview thing and the backlash? Twitter is not making it clear for a non subscriber. Â Â HHH was on Observer Live to do a PR fluff interview on the new WWE animated movie and wrestling Twitter demanded a hard hitting takedown apparently.

pol Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I mean, a guy in Bryan's position probably shouldn't be doing a PR fluff interview with HHH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 After listening to this I can say that Alvarez is the perfect person to do a PR fluff interview with Triple H. This is a guy who people aren't even sure watches the current product who would rather spend 30 minutes trying to make his grandma look feeble (failing by the way) than talk about RAW or Smackdown. Â Getting news and information about the wrestling business from Bryan Alvarez is like getting your sports knowledge from watching First Take or basically anything from Fox Sports 1 before 7:00 PM.

sek69 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 To be fair, people (in the business normally) have been saying Dave's ruining the business) since like the second day he had a newsletter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Kinda ridiculous ? Try "dumb as fuck". Â That being said, some people around this place have been saying the same kind of dumb as fuck things lately about Meltz.

El-P Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Damn, Kenny Omega buried Jim Cornette on the last Metz podcast where he announced he wouldn't be at the Rumble. The guy knows what he's doing though in term of managing his career. Unless something unexpected happens, I totally see him signing with WWE next year.

Â I didn't listen to it, but Omega is never going to be worth more than he was this month before he made his decision. He's highly unlikely to ever get that kind of buzz again. I would have used that to cash in on some big WWE bucks while I could. Â Who knows what will happen by next year. He could easily be injured, NJPW might be pushing someone else, he might be on the outs with NJPW, you just never no in wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Well, technically, he hasn't re-signed with New Japan yet so who knows if he'll get everything he wants. But I'm really thinking that Omega really wants this program with Kota Ibushi before parting ways with New Japan for good. I'm sure this was his highest motivation to turn down WWE.

Parties Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I enjoyed Okada-Omega, but he came off like an oblivious primadonna in that interview, and has yet to contribute a hundredth of what Cornette has to wrestling. I can even at times agree that some of present-day Cornette feels a bit "old man yells at cloud", but if top gaijin stars have to have two on-air therapy sessions with Dave to come down every time they have a good match, it's not worth it. There are Heavenly Bodies matches that I haven't seen yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Meltzer said today that the reason that so many mexican wrestlers are well into their 50s and 60s and having long careers is not due to style, but due to economic necessity.

KawadaSmile Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I would easily rank style over economics, if that's a thing. Mat-based wrestling with "softer" spots surely would make someone have a longer career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he sounded like someone who didn't really want to bash a guy who is obviously a legend in the business but at the same time is tiring of listening to his bullshit. I don't listen to Corny's podcasts/shoots but apparently he's telling stores about Omega's time in ROH that are inaccurate, and in a business where your reputation can get sunk by someone telling tales on you, I can't blame him wanting to set the record straight.

stro Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Jim Cornette holds absolutely no sway in pro wrestling in 2017. It's bizarre guys like Omega/KO/Young Bucks can't get over the shit he said about them years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
