Ginko Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I read something about the ropes being too taut, but then his tag team partner took the dropkick and landed on the ropes without hurting himself, so it probably was just a freak accident to do with the way he fell and the angle he hit the ropes at. Still makes me feel queasy watching him hit the ropes and seeing the him just go completely limp. Massive shame.

Stevo985 Posted March 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2015 Yeah clearly something happen, I was more getting at that it wasn't an accident in terms of anything mysterio did. Drop kick was text book and it was just the way he fell which would have been his own judgement. Sickening stuff though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Oh yeah, it was nothing Mysterio did though I doubt that'll be any comfort to him and he'll still feel somewhat guilty. Shame such a shit finisher was the reason for someone's death though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's not even the finisher though is it? All the videos say "619 killed wrestler" But he's down before he even attempts it. It's just the set up. Very strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Looks like his neck hit the rope pretty hard. Pretty horrible to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This has got to be one of the worst build ups to Wrestlemania ever, barring Bray Wyatt and Sting. It feels like just another PPV. I didn't see it but just read on the ending for Raw yesterday and it sounded absolutely horrific. Reigns and Lesnar basically playing tug of war with the title belt.

The_Rev Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 There is a free episode of the Power Bombcast (it's a semi regular wrestling podcast from giantbomb.com) featuring Jim Ross. Haven't listened to it yet, but thought I'd link it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF the fact that Sting is wrestling in it makes the rest pretty much irrelevant. What I'm genuinely amazed at is how they've got everything spot on so far in terms of handling Sting's character, but obviously there's plenty of time to drop the ball, i.e. at Mania itself, surely he can't lose this one?

DCJonah Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've decided to try and get back into it, especially as sky one do an hour show summing up raw. Don't really get the love for Daniel Bryan. I've constantly read lots about him but I don't see anything special. What am I missing? Roman Reigns looks good and I have to say I'm a fan of John cena, but maybe that's because I haven't paid much attention to it over the last few years. Is it Bray Wyatt? He seems interesting and and someone to tune in for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems interesting and and someone to tune in for The hipster element of the smarks on the internet. Bryan came through independent wrestling productions before making it big with WWE. This means that people knew about him before he was a big star. Like CM Punk he is in my opinion just a good wrestler in a fairly average era he must be promoted to being one of the best of all time (as is the case with everything nowadays on the internet) You won't get much love for saying you like Cena and Reigns as it is now cool to dislike the 'good' guys. Personally I think both are good at being the characters they are told to portray Edited March 24, 2015 by RichardCanning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The problem with Cena is exactly the same character being forced down our throat for over a decade. His in ring ability is sub par but he is always portrayed as a super human and his booking has ruined the momentum of many potential stars on the rise (Wyatt was on a meteoric rise until he got put back about 12 months after a feud with Cena). Cena seems like a good guy and he busts his ass for the company, but people are bored and have been for years. The fact their top star gets booed out of the building in 8/10 events is embarrassing but wwe thing they've pulled a master stroke in billing him as a "controversial" "polarising" star. (They haven't). A heel turn could be huge, look what happened with Hogan. Another trick missed by Vince incidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Too late for Cena heel turn. Everyone would just cheer him. Daniel Bryan is loved because people know how hard he works, how good he is and how little he cares for backstage politics. Wyatt's promo on Monday was outstanding. Def watch it.

Meath_Villan Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Cena is just a shit wrestler ....I watched a match last month and you could see and hear him talking the plays against the russian lad ....pure terrible cant sell a punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yet Cena hardly ever has a bad match. BTW Brock Lesnar has re-signed with WWE. Please make Lesnar v Cesaro happen!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way ? he doesn't injure anyone ?.....other than that I think its your opinion about not having a bad match as all his matches are fairly poor and that's why the crowd cant really warm to the guy same shit every match nothing different .......out side of the ring cena is probably one of the best in the WWE always reportedly on hand first in line for the promos with the kids etc ...

The_Rev Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 How much of the WWE's revenue is tied to the house shows and merch sales? I presume it's the core business as the TV stuff wouldn't work if it played out in front of half empty arenas. Anyway, I guess what I am saying is I'm curious as to how Cena affects the ticket sales of house shows. I'd presume they must sell more quickly when he is in town (and he shifts the most merch) for the company to keep him as their top dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Rusev beating the hell out of Cena on Raw has basically given away the outcome of their match on Sunday. Generally whoever gets the better on the previous show, loses. With Lesnar re-signing I think he may actually win on Sunday now. Possible face turn and eventual Rollins cash in on him.
