Arena Pro Wrestling Discussion

Well, the three way at ER has been changed to a #1 Contender's I Quit match, so I guess the WWE consider's Ziggler's concussion serious enough to keep him off the PPV.

Other additions to Extreme Rules as of RAW:

Miz vs Cody Rhodes as the pre - show match

Jericho vs Fandango
Rollins/Reigns of the Shield vs Team Hell No for the tag belts.
Big Show vs Orton.
Dean Ambrose of the Shield vs Kofi Kingston for the US Title.

 

The closest I come to watching wrestling anymore is following TheRock on Twitter. Just couldn't keep watching it after I really got into UFC.

 

Aside from Punk, there won't be much to attract me either once the last of the Attitude Era people retire.

 

WWE Releases seven developmental wrestlers, including the younger brother of Dolph Ziggler

The Shield now hold the US and Tag Titles.

 

Today marks two years to the day Randy Savage died.

 

Team Hell No had a good run, hopefully other teams can be a good challenge to The Shield and build the division.

 

The post match interview seems to be setting Bryan up for a heel turn. We'll see.

It seems a lot of people were pissed off by the no - finish to the Ryback/Cena match.

 

It was a pretty meh event tbh

So Henning's son is the newest Paul Heyman guy.

 

HBK pulled off the fake concussion thing a lot more believably with Owen Hart about 15 years ago. More proof that Triple H can't do anything Shawn hasn't already done better.

 

He's still a better injury faker than Cena.

 

True but that is a really low standard.

 

Hunter at least would limp for a show or two if he was faking a leg injury. Cena can't even do that.

 

Tammy Lynn Sytch claims cancer scare while in prison.

WWE fires yet another head writer.

 

Sounds like that writer may have been half-competent too, I expect better of Steph with regards to knowing these things.

 

Her father came up with such memorable gems like the Katie Vick angle. From what I heard the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in regards to creative and booking.

I immediately thought of this thread when I read the article.

 

Oh man, the Brawl-for-All. I'd almost completely forgotten about that. Almost.

 

next time WWE wants to do a Brawl-For-All, they should at least get legitimately trained athletes like Lesnar involved. Kurt Angle would have been great in something like that, even Undertaker has done some MMA training. Why use amateurs? All they will do (and did do) is hurt each other.

I didn't know about JBL & Blue Meanie getting all legit, pretty crazy. Although, cracked claiming JBL might have died from that chair shot is silly, those things are made from aluminium and so are bendy as hell. Plus he got a glancing blow from the end of it not a full whack on the top of the head. Credit to JBL for still being able to kick out after that and a moonsault though.

 

I knew about JBL/Meanie, and at least three of the others (like I said, I thought I had scrubbed the Brawl For All from my mind. Ironically enough the finals are on a WM VHS that I still own), but I didn't know about Andre being drunk during a match. That was some interesting and new info for me.

 

He's a big dude, sounds like that match was pretty scrappy. I thought Andre would've just grabbed him and hurled him into the crowd or something rather than fall over and kick or wander about aimlessly.

 

Hulk Hogan hospitalized after radiator explosion injures his hand.

 

I hope he still has his wagging finger, can't Hulk-out without that

















But seriously, I hope the dude will be fine. I guess it could have been worse so at least he didn't get a more serious injury.

 

Very true. Definitely could have been a lot worse.

In sadder news:

Hector Garza passed away from Lung Cancer yesterday at age 43.
