ignore the troll

dood is legit a hardcore Trump supporter who now loves Big Cass after the Meltzer story broke

just move along

So I'm a troll because I don't agree with your opinion on fake wrestling?

Wow


I've been very consistent with my views on wrestling on GAF

 

[norm9]

Not surprised. I imagine a lot of wrestlers are. They tend to go conservative and terrible

jbl is a textbook conservative.

 

[Shauni]

I'm telling y'all not to fall for it and you keep falling for it.

You, this is particularly my bad. Wrestling threads go so fast I don't realize who I'm responding to sometimes. I blame Cole.

 

[Heroman]

You have a wrestler who wrestled a little girl in your avatar

And you have a guy wearing a black leather jacket as your as avatar, what is your point?

 

[Risette]

I cancelled a few days ago and it seems like I picked a good time to cancel?

 

[poppedcollar69]

jbl is a textbook conservative.

it makes me sad that aj is apparently pretty conservative cause he seems like a really smart guy otherwise and also hes p1

 

[orioto]

True but its the first match that went against the smart money. Aj was -4950 favorite.

I didn't see that, but i saw every podcast was predicting AJ winning. WHich i wasn't so sure to begin with for several reasons.

_The feud had only 2 ppv match. 3 would be more logical.
_House show wins are often reverted it seems to me
_AJ didn't win that big title on tv. So he can win it "for good" at summerslam
_Owens still has the face of murica titantron and all

I think that was the planned finish but it was poorly booked and a bad idea, that's all.
I mean there was no climax, no finisher, Owens didn't do any of its neck breaker things to AJ..

In that ppv there was Nakamura, Zayn, AJ Styles. The only "this is awesome" i heard was in the uso match. That's amazing

Spoiler

ly sad

when you think about it.

Maybe there is a secret plan from Vince to sabotage every indy darling so people realize true wrestling is WWE!

 

[XenoRaven]

This is every wrestling thread in OT. Stop engaging him.

 

[Officerrob]

So what yall got for the Summerslam lineup?

- Reigns vs Strowman vs Joe vs Lesnar
- Ambrose and Rollins vs Miz and the Miztourage (or Ambrose vs Rollins vs Miz)
- Balor vs Wyatt
- Alexa vs Sasha vs Bayley
- Mahal vs Cena
- Corbin vs Orton
- Nakamura vs Rusev
- Owens vs Styles (gimmick match)
- Naomi vs Nattie
- New Day vs Usos vs Breezango vs 2 heavymetal dudes who didn't go to the concert
- Becky and Charlotte vs Tamina and Lana

That's all I got.

You are getting Orton vs Khali

 

[Proc]

Does the dude Zayne fought have any pedigree behind him? I didn't recognize him. Terrible gimmick.

I'd like to see Owens and Orton at some point.

Zayne and Styles could be good. Not sure how you'd build to it.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

See the funny thing is that if you know watch the match then you would know it was 50 percent selling since Zach is a submission expert.

Also Ibushi uses his strength to overcome Sabre.

That spot only happens because Zach taunts, frustrates and humiliates Ibushi so that he goes into his pissed off sequence and is ready with a counter. You're clearly being disingenuous calling that carny shit when you're watching a main event where the only high spots are people falling off high things and there's no psychology.

So I’m a troll because I don’t agree with your opinion on fake wrestling?

Wow


I’ve been very consistent with my views on wrestling on GAF

I was born saved in heaven
It was nothing like the promised land
Raised in a good christian house
Underneath a good christian hand
I was schooled down and dirty
Signed a note back to town
It was there that the workers slaved all week
Waiting for payday to come around

 

[FallingEdge]

I'm telling y'all not to fall for it and you keep falling for it.

 

[Ithil]

Not surprised. I imagine a lot of wrestlers are. They tend to go conservative and terrible

It was in the context that Cass is not well liked in the locker room because of it.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

And you have a guy wearing a black leather jacket as your as avatar, what is your point?

My point is the type of wrestling you’re into I just have zero respect for, it’s a joke of a joke to me

Give me good ol fashion match like HBK/Taker over Japanese “strong style”, which is a joke. Legit hitting each in a work, lol. That’s why this new generation of wrasslers have had so many severe injuries so early in their careers, it’s a WORK

 

[norm9]

Real sad that the best match was the first match on this card.

 

[Shauni]

It was in the context that Cass is not well liked in the locker room because of it.

Really? That actually surprises me, pleasantly

 

[Foggy]

Gimmick posters alive and well in 2017. Imagine living that life.

Break out, come on if you're coming
Cause baby i just can't stay
I want to take out the walls of this joint
I want to blow this town away

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Accusing others of being a gimmick because they don’t share your view, imagine that life

Now I ain't into fast livin'
I ain't into dying young
And I ain't looking to be forgiven
For any of the stupid things that I've done

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Really? That actually surprises me, pleasantly

I imagine the young guys are a bunch of libitards. Probably why wrestling is dying.

 

[Zee-Row]

Did I mention that this PPV was absolute horseshit?

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Here’s the thing, if you do that once in match it’s effective, not 20x a match and for the entire card

 

[norm9]

The perfect move is to break up the Usos.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Did I mention that this PPV was absolute horseshit?

I didn't even watch it and I could tell you that.

Buncha marks still waiting for WWE to not suck, 10 years and counting.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Kevin Nash just had his 32nd surgery.

Nagata is wrestling great matches multiple times a week.

 

[Heroman]

Here’s the thing, if you do that once in match it’s effective, not 20x a match and for the entire card

They do it 20 times a match? I must be on my phone to much.
And the undertaker is the walking imagine of health

 

[UberTag]

I cancelled a few days ago and it seems like I picked a good time to cancel?

Every time is a good time to cancel. Don't let them bait you back in with a free subscription, either.

 

[Ithil]

Instant default to "JUST A DIFFERENT VIEW" like clockwork.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

They do it 20 times a match? I must be on my phone to much.

He's had a long career and he's a legit big man (more prone to injuries). But taker doesn't represent the majority of those from his era when it comes to injuries. Nice failed spin attempt

 

[Tall4Life]

If you think WWE matches are just high spot indie fests with no selling boy do I have news for you

 

[Hidden One]

Why do you think that? She seems to have a set position in the company.

A trend with the ladies that are actually pretty decent is that they finally start connecting with the crowd and get some title reigns and then they leave like 2 years later.

 

[norm9]

Forgot Corbin is the MITB winner. This guy is great on talking smack and that's it.

 

[orioto]

Csonka's review :

Nakamura match : **½
AJ/Owens: **½
Zayn: **¼

I mean to have those wrestlers being so tepid, all of them in a ppv, you need to do something terribly wrong backstage..

 

[Puck Beaverton]

I wish every match was as stupid as Ricochet/Ospreay

 

[Heroman]

He’s had a long career and he’s a legit big man (more prone to injuries). But taker doesn’t represent the majority of those from his era when it comes to injuries. Nice failed spin attempt

But so did nagata or Kojima or Suzuki or fujinami aka those crazy Japanese strong stlye dudes that will end your career. Also joking by your standards a big man should never do dives cause it to crazy or something.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Yeah that NJPW flippy crazy shit is lame at times. I've seen a lot of great NJPW matches but whenever that flip shit comes into play it takes me out of it. Like dude thought that would work, come on now. I prefer matches away from that shit.

There is very little actual flippy shit in NJPW

 

[Professor Beef]

I'm telling y'all not to fall for it and you keep falling for it.

why would i listen to a midget

Not surprised. I imagine a lot of wrestlers are. They tend to go conservative and terrible

the first big mistake wrestling fans can make is to equate workrate with morality

 

[cordy]

You are getting Orton vs Khali

Oh yeah I forgot Khali's still got shit to do. I figured he'd just show up but nah he's gonna wrestle probably.

There is very little actual flippy shit in NJPW

Doesn't mean I like it when I see it though. I hate it.

 

[excelsiorlef]

True but its the first match that went against the smart money. Aj was -4950 favorite.

Vince changes his mind last minute all the time.

best to ignore alot of people that post in wrestlegaf learned that last year when i said i could give two shits about anything outside of WWE and was called a fake wrestling fan for it.

Wait didn't Shawn suffer a horrific back injury in one of those Undertaker matches and was out for like 6 or 7 years of his prime ?

 

[Shauni]

I have no idea what that means

 

[Shauni]

I don't think that's when he actually injured his back. The Hell in a Cell match from 96

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Wait didn't Shawn suffer a horrific back injury in one of those Undertaker matches and was out for like 6 or 7 years of his prime ?

Yes, it was the botched back drop on the casket, bad luck with the awkward angle on the landing

 

[Nekofrog]

who is accusing NJPW of being flippy shit? because that literally proves you don't watch it

 

[Ronin Ray]

Yes, it was the botched back drop on the casket, bad luck with the awkward angle on the landing

Yeah he got basically stabbed with the corner of the casket.
