Gunner55 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 AJ fucking Styles. Can't believe they put him over. Fucking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Happy for Becky and Styles, Heath too. Crazy that in this summer we've had Nakamura, Devitt, Steen and Styles win WWE's top titles.

Ace Spade Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I heard a rumor that AJ Lee was overheard telling Mickey Gall how fine he was after the punk fight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'd have never guessed at the start of the year that Kevin Owens & AJ Styles would be the top guys in the company at some point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 That Miz/Ziggler match was probably the best Miz match I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 And he wrestled it in that style that Bryan precisely hates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Probably the most solid PPV of the year so far, with the exception of whatever they were doing with Bray Wyatt. They could benefit from shortening these PPVs again to 2h30 and giving each match a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Wyatt is like Ambrose... they're above Ziggler, but they're the guys that work with the top guys then lose. If they saw Bray as any sort of future top star, he wouldn't be jobbing to Kane. Kane of course is getting built up for that dream match against Baron Corbin. It just feel like standards have plunged to the depths if this was deemed acceptable. The show wasn't offensive, but average seems to be the new gold standard for "this is awesome" chants. Terrible roster too, I mean that was everyone except Cena (who they have doing house shows only atm), American Alpha (that were kept off the show to make the Usos look strong, thus burying the titles when Slater/Rhyno are the top team) and Orton (who hasn't been medically cleared in a month, but they advertised him anyway). December to Dismember had more star power than this show and it was a WWE-C branded show that ended with Bobby Lashley winning the title. Kudos to A.J. though. He's held now held the NJPW Title, WWE Title, ROH Title, NWA Title, TNA Title, PWG Title ect... It's just a shame that the brand split means that he has no one except Orton interesting to work with.

axlslash Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Color me impressed. I was way down on this card going in, and was proven absolutely wrong. Women were solid, and THRILLED to see them not take the easy out and put the strap on Lady Cena. The Uso turn was perfectly executed, getting them heat on the Hype Bros then putting over Heath and Congressman Rhyno. Miz and Ziggles were unreal - a perfect match that doesn't weaken Miz in the ring but continues his "coward" storyline (and what the fuck, man, stop this cock teasing if you aren't going to actually give me Miz/Bryan at WrestleMania, it's perfect but I can't deal with the disappointment if it doesn't pay off). And of course - will I ever get used to saying "WWE champion AJ Styles"?! How fuckin cool is that! Can you imagine, going into Survivor Series, AJ with Smackdown's big belt and the Good Brothers holding the RAW tag straps?! Hoo boy. The Bullet Club had arrived.

luciusfunk Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 No, apparently AJ never did win the ROH title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 He won the Pure Championship which I assume was intended to be treated as a top title similar to the other one. A few months afterwards afterwards something happened... scroll down and read or google; http://wrestlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Rob_Feinstein_Controversy Anyway TNA/ROH ended their relationship soon afterwards and the belt ended up vacated. The title though was held by the likes of Joe, before it got unified with Bryan's belt. Had he still been on NJPW though, I reckon their's a good chance he'd held the other ROH belt given their relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner55 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Only downside to AJ holding the title is that it's a transitional holder until cenawinslol comes back to tie Naitch's record. John posted Flair on his instagram so get ready guys! Internet's gunna break when Cena beats styles for that title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 What a fucking trainwreck Raw was last night. A whole bunch of "maybe we'll change this match" followed by "lol kidding." Can't tell if Rollins is supposed to be face or heel. Can't tell if Dana is face or heel. Lots of wheel-spinning all around. Pretty solid wrestling, but mighty shitty storytelling. Only worthwhile segment was the Highlight Reel and the backstage interviews with KO and Y2J. Those two are top choice heels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The female Roman Reigns.... good luck with that. Still shocked some of you people seem to be watching 5 hours of RAW/SmackDown! every week. My commute is about 80 minutes each direction, so my consumption is at unhealthy levels. I watch everything on the train the day after it airs: Raw on Tuesday, Smackdown Wednesday, NXT and Lucha on Thursday, iMPACT on Friday. Between that and podcasts, the last couple of months have seen pro wrestling consume an ever increasing percentage of my life Dont compare Dana to Roman. Roman doesn't deserve the boos and "you can't wrestle" chants. He's like Cena: the crowds hate him because management loves him, but all he ever gives is 110% in the ring, and the result is almost always something like his matches with AJ and KO. Dana legit cannot wrestle. Every time she botches the face-to-the-turnbuckle spot, I chuckle. Edited September 14, 2016 by axlslash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 3 hours of Backlash, 3 hours of Raw and 2 1/2 hours of Smackdown, I'm exhausted I like to watch TNA sometimes also, but unless your life is wrestling, it's very difficult to also keep up with things like ROH, PWG, AAA, LU, etc also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) Only time I ever really check out ROH is during the NJPW tours. CWC Finals are tonight. It might not be the Super J Cup 94, but it'll no doubt be the best WWE show since Takeover: Brooklyn II. Only problem is, the best wrestler in the tournament isn't (or wasn't a few weeks ago) under contract and on the wrong side of the bracket. Might be a swerve though. The biggest shame though, is the people who are signed will be doing jobs in mediocre matches on RAW.

axlslash Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Folks in the NYC area: there will be a Lucha Underground panel at NY Comic Con, Sunday Oct 8. Rey, Taya, and some behind-the-scenes folks are confirmed, with more participants to be announced. I have other plans that day already, but if you're in the area, sounds like it'll be neat.
