Wrestling Thread 5/19-6/1 | WWE Payback PPV - Shield v Evolution | Will Daniel Bryan Forfeit His Tit

I have always said I have no idea how WWE doesn't go with basic concepts like Survivor Series and King of the Ring.

For all the lazy booking they do.  For all the distraction finishes and no contests and inconsequential booking, why wouldn't they go with the most basic premise in sports: a playoff.

They could book most of Raw and Smackdown for at least a month with qualifying matches.  Have upsets to get guys momentum ala March Madness cinderellas. 

King of the Ring, throughout history, has done more to put guys over than most anything.  Stone Cold, HHH, Kurt Angle, Edge.  King of the Ring helped us believe they were gonna be something important.  Hell Booker T made a whole gimmick out of it, did some of the best work in his career, and became a champion.

Does anybody else fantasy book and then go "but that makes too much sense"?

Aye Big Vader,

Your father was on Stone Cold's Podcast. Go check it out

Kane VS D Bry at MITB will be a buried alive match.

If D Bry isn't ready, they hope to do it at Battleground.

This must have been tough, The Shield's top ten six-man matches:

Only one choice for the top spot if I did this, The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family at Elimination Chamber 2014.

Nice list

 

[danger style]

I have the TLC match against Ryback/Team Hell No ranked above the Wyatt match but thats about it. The Evolution match at #1.....

Lana looks like she just farted a lot of times. The look on her face

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Do you dudes agree with this?

I'd say Cena's top five are
vs Punk MitB '11,
vs Umaga RR '07,
vs Edge Backlash '09,
vs HBK on RAW in London '07, and
vs Lesnar at ER '12.

Any order is fine. I also really enjoyed his early stuff vs Taker at Vengeance 2003 (underrated show) and vs Lesnar at Backlash 2003,

 

[celticspride34]

I'm sure there's a Kurt Angle match with Cena that should be on that list...

 

[Peep Game]

^Agreed. Probably the one where Cena was heel and Angle was face. I think Angle had just recovered from surgery or something.

 

[steebie j]

Cena v JBL Judgment Day 05 should be an honorable mention

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I love yall man.

 

[danger style]

Bryan vs. Cena from last year man

And the Punk/Cena match from Raw last year >>>> but nothing can top the booking and atmosphere of their MitB match.

 

[celticspride34]

Cena v JBL Judgment Day 05 should be an honorable mention

Fantastic match till the finish... Ruined it for me..

 

[Meangene45]

Cena vs Dbry from last year

 

[ao17]

Cena vs Punk 2/25/2013 on Raw

 

[franknbeans]

You sure you want a tourney? Cause instead of building a quality storyline. Writers got lazy and just made a number 1 contender tourney for the ic title and now big e and bnb aren't even feuding

That's because they were thinking Arby's.

That IC tourney was fine tho.  It gave people purpose and I feel BNB came out looking better.  It could've been way better, sure.  But It was two or so weeks of consequential booking.

 

[franknbeans]

a tournament is only lazy if they make it lazy,if they have feuds stem from the tourney,couple guys turn heel or come out looking great then a tourney can be awesome.if done right,but i guess everything would be awesome if everything was done right 

 

[Peep Game]

This Judgement Day 05 LAW podcast is hilarious another reminder of how awful that era of Smackdown was. Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly teaming together, Kurt Angle wanting to rape Sharmelle, and Big Show being poisoned by eating Carlito's apple. Just terrible

Orlando Jordan vs Heidenreich for the US title :x

Wasn't able to catch NXT last night.  Watching it now.  Don't mind me talking to myself.

 

[4wrestling]

First time seeing Adam Rose in NXT. He's still a freaking geek but his entrance works so much better in a small arena.
