Topic: Wrestling?

What's sad are the rumors that Finn was supposed to be Takers opponent for Mania. The theatrics would make that match amazing, and I believe Finn would be the ideal opponent if Undertaker is having his last Wrestlemania match.

I never thought of Taker appearing to cost Reigns the match, but it makes sense now that they need to protect Strowman and yet give a way out of the feud for Roman.

I am NOT happy in any way that Taker is being fed to Roman to boost him again. UNLESS this ends in a full on heel turn at Wrestlemania, there is no point. Even then, people won't be shocked as they would for say, the John Cena heel turn.

We'd just say "well it's about time".

Imagine if Reigns puts up one of his I am just THE guy promos in an atmosphere of a post WM RAW after he has ended the career of the Undertaker, the true blood wrestling fans from all over the world will eat him alive.
If the man that retires the Undertaker is not an absolute legend like the Rock, or his brother Kane in a double retirement or an UNDISPUTED rising star, I would look for a very, very good security.

I think people are ok if someone like Finn went over. In kayfabe it would make sense as a young demon taking over. Still my wishful thinking is for Undertaker to retire with one last victory.

Looks like the Hardys were looking for creative control and were told to scoot off to WWE instead. At least it looks like Anthem has not given in their balls at the reception as it seems when they took over.

On the other hands, it seems that they don´t really know or care who they bring in instead of the Hardys, Drew Galloway, Jade, Maria and Benett. How someone can think that Bruce Pricard can add anything of value to TNA is beyond me.

Pffffft HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cesaro won his 4th "Most Underrated wrestler" award from Wrestling Observer in a row. Yep, sounds about right

WM32 won the worst show of the year. Almost everything is right in the world.

And Broken Matt Hardy won Best Gimmick of the year. NOW everything is right with the world.

The rest of the awards are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wrestling_Observer_Newsletter_awards

I always take them with a HUGE grain of salt, but it's funny to look at the best and worst of wrestling in the year.

Lol, that JJ award for most overrated in 2005. Was that the time when he was either IC champion or whinning why he was not IC champion or only IC champion but should be the WWE champion?
Not terribly surprised by Roman Reigns though.

I certainly disagree with Kaval though. If there ever was a vanilla midget in WWE, it was this guy.
And now push CESARO, VINCE!

The ladder match 1994 between Michaels and Ramon is up until today one of the most exciting wrestling matches for me. Most wrestling fans don´t like it though.

I loved the 2010 campaign from Linda McMahon. That look on the face of Vince when he saw that his multimillion dollar campaign had netted absolutely nothing and some hayseed democrat won the seat. It is as if Lesnar had promised to hit him right between the grapefruits with his best punch at a random date in the next week and he now has time think about it.

Certainly agree with the woman survivor series match 2013. That was a trainwreck waiting to happen from start to end.

John Cena vs Kane should have won worst feud 2014 too because it was bad enough for 2 years.

The Shockmaster is the best Gimmick ever! What could go wrong with a guy that sat in a de facto blinded Storm Trooper helmet and is unable to break a wall of cardboard without making a fool out of himself? Fake Diesel and Ramon were really bad. Was what Vince thinking there? The largest majority of people is not actually braindead despite what Vince may think.

Every time someone asks to "Push Cesaro", the date of him winning the world title is prolonged by a month.

I find that resilience of Vince pretty astounding to be honest in the light of people like Swagger or AdR becoming WHC.
He has all the qualities Vince supposedly likes in his wrestlers:
He is tall, buffed, strong and is passionate for wrestling. He can be photographed without causing emergency crashes and could be for europe what Bret Hart was for Canada. Put him in pink and black and he is Bret Hart, just taller and with less hair.^^

Edit: Granted, he resisted long and hard to let Bret Hart shoot to the top, but it finally paid off in the end. Hogan and Warrior would have ruined the WWE sooner or later.
