CI Wrestling Thread #56

And had he won then no doubt you would be going on about how they’re just pushing another ex wwe guy to the top. Christian isn’t even a big signing imo. Doubt he ever holds a belt, maybe the tnt title. He’s there to put young guys over.
Another horrible take - who really thinks jungle boy will beat the champ? At least Christian one would think will be a logical champ since he’s held the big belt at other companies like Jericho/Mox/Omega

Cody wins?

Pinnacle loses?

Why hotshot Archer-Miro?

Why turn Cage babyface?

They do make the occasional booking mistake.
Agree with all of this and I would say Moxley and Kingston should have won last night.
And it’s still 1,000,000 times better than what we are getting tonight.

So I thought the A&E Warrior doc was just ok. Haven't watched the Dark Side one yet

I really am enjoying the Foley one.

I really am enjoying the Foley one.

Going to watch the Foley one tonight or tomorrow.

I still have trouble with the fact we got a mostly positive A&E doc on Warrior and a hack job on Savage.

The Dark Side one was probably a lot more honest, especially from Cornette and JR. However I didn't think it was as bad as his second wife wanted everyone to believe.

If the Dark Side is anything like the old WWE doc they did on Jake Roberts the one this week on Grizzly Smith will be something.

Nobody believes Christian would beat Omega either. Nobody thinks Omega is losing for awhile, All Out at the earliest. Hangman will be the guy. But Jungle Boy is a future cornerstone who is home grown. They have to build him up.

Cody winning is the right call although I thought for sure he’d lose. Can’t have him lose as the American Dream on Mem Day weekend to a loud mouth Brit. Especially one in his 3rd match. I suspect they take the Darby route with Ogogo. He keeps losing the big one until he finally breaks thru.

Pinnacle losing was the right call. Keeps the IC and sets up a third and final match.

I agree with Archer and Miro. That match shouldn’t have happened until they were ready for Archer to win.

Cage didn’t turn face. Just more arguments with Starks and Hook.
 
Sure wish I had A&E or some streaming service that would allow me to unlawfully watch these wrestling bios. Great reviews on all of em. YoutubeTV must hate A&E.
 
AEW could have something with Rusev and Archer but I just dont think they quite know how to book it. I agree with Cody going over against a greenhorn but I swear, I just don't see it with Cody. He's got all the tools but just seems like his peak his high midcard (at best) despite being booked and presented otherwise.
 
Have Gogo win by cheating.

Does this end the nightmare feud? Or will Brandy and the baby also got wins?

If IC can't lose - drop the stipulation. Or, hell, have them all come out as Midnight Rider 1 through 5.

Good news bad news for AEW. According to Meltzer the early projections for the DON buy rate are higher than last years 120,000.

Bad news- Dynamite only did 526,000 viewers on Friday night.
Good news- the .20 in the demo is double what NXT did.

Also rumors of more WWE releases coming today.

At this point is anyone left to be released?
 
Black makes absolutely no sense either. There have been a lot of rumblings about a sale recently and I think these cuts are going to ramp up those rumblings.
 
In total shock over Braun. That guy was the Universal Champ a year ago and in a WWE title match recently. How does that happen?

Aleister Black was wasted as soon as he went to the main roster. It’s why guys like him and Balor are just better off in NXT.

I’d just like to see the justification for this when they keep such garbage on the roster. How is Nia Jax employed or Titus O’Neil or just all of the nobodies!
 
Could see Braun run through AEW and beat Omega for the belt.
Braun would be a huge get. I’d take talent like that. I never would’ve signed Miro (Rusev) though. I don’t understand that type of crap. He’s just boring as hell.

Nia Jax is related to Dwayne so if they want him to reappear they have to keep her around
 
Nia is worse than Raw’s creative team. Just the absolute pits when it comes to wrestling.

I could see Black and/or Braun showing up on AEW, though that men’s side is getting crowded. Almost need another singles belt for people to chase.

Black is so damn good. Someone will be lucky getting him. Hello, Dark Order?

I I don’t understand half of what WWE is doing. If you could keep Big Show for 20+ years, why would you just toss away Braun?

So WWE has let go of Samoa Joe, Aleister Black, and Braun Strowman. I know not everyone can be on top all the time or even get that spot but how the hell do you make these decisions while keeping garbage?

Nia’s fatass should be working in the mall somewhere not in a ring.

Strowman and Black are mindblowing. It was said Vince was impressed with how Braun carried wwe during his title run and didn’t Black just return last week after a long time away?

I bet Braun regrets those tweets last year about all the indy guys who were out of jobs. I’m sure he will be seeing it thrown back at him a lot today.
 
Wonder if Braun getting released means Brock is coming back soon?

Also if it’s shedding salary how do they not cut Goldberg he has to be making a crazy salary?
