Now I'm as big a Flair fan as the next guy, but I don't see the point in WWE bringing him back if he's not going to be allowed to break their PG product and randomly bust himself open during promos.

Dolph Ziggler as the 21st Century Nature Boy? Oh that could work.

If you thought the spinner belt was bad, this might be the new one

I'd rather they brought back a traditional belt like what they had years ago, from the 80s until late 90s, then they used a similar one until the early part of this century.

These gimmicky designs de-value the belt IMO.

I even prefer the bland WHC to the WWE title. Back, years ago, WWE/F championship belts always looked valuable and prestigious, now they just look like junk.

Watched Slammiversary last night, wasn't expecting much but was very very impressed. 2 absolutely outstanding matches; Aries (Best wrestler in the world right now?) vs Joe and Styles/Angle vs Daniels/Kazarian as well as probably the best bit of storytelling I've seen in Bully Ray (Best Heel in wrestling.) vs Joseph Parks (Clearly Abyss, but fantastic acting from him)

Sting is the first TNA Hall of Famer, Christian made an appearance (Part of the Ric Flair HoF deal) and Crimson's streak was blown apart.


Del Rio out of the title match this weekend due to a concussion, Ziggler is the logical replacement IMO.

Re: Men in Lycra - the Wrestling thread : Mon Jun 11, 2012 9:51 pm  

Slammiversary was the best PPV they've done for a long time, lots of excellent wrestling.

In addition the Texas crowd was big and really loud, which helps the feel, energy, makes them look big time etc. I'm sure the wrestlers loved that. I found it much better to watch compared to an Impact Zone based show.

They need to cut down the number of PPV's slightly and then take them all on the road.

"The Big Show hasn't been a threat since 1999"

That one line from Vince last night shows you in a nutshell what's wrong with WWE.

You've a PPV on Sunday and the head of the company buries one of the guys in the main event. Luckily, Show got a match with Kingston and came out of it looking like the monster heel that he needs to be going up against Cena.

Ziggler get's a World title shot. Now, I'm not knocking the guy cos I think he's one of the best workers WWE have right now, but he's something like 2 wins from 12 matches in the last month or so. Yes, I know Del Rio is only out due to injury, but still, WWE NEEDS to start protecting guys other than Cena and Orton.

And the worst thing was that Vader was more over than pretty much anyone else on last night's Raw

I'm not sure if that's the case. I think it's more there's nothing for Foley to do right now.
There's also the terrible segment he was in when he came back to WWE which might have left people wondering if Foley can still cut it.
