CI Wrestling Thread #56

Who wants some ratings

NXT- 654,000 and .18- up slightly from last week.

AEW- 871,000 and .33- down slightly from last week.
 
My biggest bag on AEW is all the talent they are bringing in is fun, but unnecessary. Need to utilize the roster that they already have. People like Luchasaurus, Brian Cage, and Lance Archer. Give them more prominent roles.
Yup it’s a really good point - the more guys you bring in the more irrelevant some of the other talent becomes. If they keep it up they will have a talent glut like wwe.

Agreed. Let’s see what they do with rampage. This is why all these factions have been beneficial. You put guys in organizations they don’t have to wrestle every week, but still remain in a story or be on tv. But yes, those three specifically need to be on TV more and need to be burying fools.

OT: I could obviously name guys like Benoit or Buck Zumhoff, but who is your most hated wrestler ever?

This week, Brian (Last) asked me if I could go back and do art for that Eddie Kingston interview after Aew went off the air and I realized “Kingston is my least favorite wrestler ever…and that covers a lot of ground”.

On the WWE side was never a fan of Bob Holly.
I’m sure there’s more but those are the ones I can think of.

Kingston's work doesn't bother me too much but he just looks like a lazy drunk that wears ball shorts all the time. I can't pinpoint it, but something makes me not like him either.

My most hated wresters

ICody Rhodes. He's not a bad worker but he has a false sense of self worth and has never entertained me other than his match with Goldust when AEW started.

I also cannot stand watching Kenny Olivier and the Young Bucks. There are many more on the AEW roster I can't stand to watch but none that I dislike as much as Cody, Olivier, and the Bucks.

On the WWF side of things, Nia Jax. I cannot stand her. On the mens side of things, I'm halfway inclined to say Rollins. I also don't care too much for Sami Zayn (Although like Rollins, his is just character based because both can put on hell of a match).
 
I can't believe I didn't put Nia Jax on my list...

If anyone's interested WWE announced more dates today.

Sunday September 26th- Extreme Rules in Columbus, Ohio

Monday September 27th- Raw in Cincinnati

AEW's All Out Sold Out in a couple of hours today.

I doubt Cornette would ever condone someone jumping in the ring, regardless of the promotion. Also, the guy did jack during that moment besides get taken down by security. I’ll never understand someone spending money on a ticket, and then thinking they owned someone or proved some weird point.
 
The only times I've ever wanted to interact with wrestlers at shows were when I was a kid and I was super jealous of everyone that got Bret Harts sunglasses, and I'd love to do a beer bash in the ring with Stone Cold. Past that I'm good in my seat.
 
Jim Cornette would be the first to endorse beating the hell out of a fan like that.

Also, Tully Blanchard is # 1 for me. God I hated that guy. Great heel.
Tully had good heat though, lol. I wanted to keep the channel on to see him get his ass kicked

I see Kingston and I’m turning the channel because I don’t want to see him on TV, lol
 
Every time I saw Trish Stratus I wanted to interact with her.

Well yeah but something tells me that at no point in my life will I buy a ticket to a wrestling show and one of the women will pick me out of the crowd and get naughty with me in the ring. When I was a kid it was conceivable that if I got a front row ticket Bret would give me his glasses.

Not with that attitude…

thats how I felt about Bo Dallas. For some reason every time I saw him I just wanted to turn off the tv. One of my friends was like "Well yeah thats his job!" and i went "no, his job is to make me want to spend money to go to a show and boo him and watch him get his ass kicked"
 
Being reported that Bailey has suffered an injury and will be out 9 months. Is it legit or a work for the storyline? Be pretty dumb to have an injury be a part of both women's title storylines.
 
Nia Jax will be with WWE forever. If you get your 2nd DUI in 2 years and don't even miss a show like Jimmy Uso has, that means anyone in that family has a job for life.

He's a mark fir himself who doesn't like the business. F him.
I cannot believe how far they have milked basically a six month to a year window in 1998. They never should’ve brought him back in 2016 or 2019. He can’t wrestle for shit. His appeal ended long ago and he’s just super into himself.
