CI Wrestling Thread #56

They will sell out. People are more willing to go to chicago for Punk’s return then go to Vegas and see Goldberg/Lashley. Not sure how over Cena/reigns is right now admittedly. So I could be wrong.
 
I am 100% a Cornette listener but I also have been an avid follower of the business for 30 plus years. A lot of his views are antiquated when it comes to the business. I will admit that but he is 100% spot on when it comes to AEW. That doesn’t mean folks don’t like it. That’s their choice. I think they’re totally wrong and that it’s trash play wrestling but it’s their choice nevertheless.
 
Sasha is a better heel anyways
The problem with that was that it was maybe the most predictable turn in wrestling history. Who else was Belair going to fight at Summer Slam? Maybe and old school back alley street brawl against Carmella? I would pay to see that but they don't even do the bra and panties matches anymore.

Ya it’s typical wwe - Sasha went and filmed a movie and they basically took what should have been a two month angle and condensed it into one episode - the rematch was inevitable

Every single thing he says about AEW and especially The Elite should be ignored. He’s so jaded when it comes to them that most of what he says borders on lunacy.

Hey mods. You do realize that this is Zatyoven and you already banned him don't you? If a ban falls in the woods and nobody is there to enforce it, did they really get banned?

It should come as no surprise, but reports are out that WWE was behind the emails sent to Dominoes posing as regular tv watchers being ‘disgusted’ by what was on AEW. They sent emails to numerous AEW advertisers.

Funny that comes just hours after Vince said AEW wasn’t competition and he wasn’t worried about them blah blah blah.

He may be jaded but his AEW takes are pretty spot on. I agree with him that The Elite is horrible and belong wrestling in some Armory in Corbin opposed to the shows they work.
 
Well I guess Vince wanted to send them more wrestlers...right??

I believe Sasha's heel turn was probably the most obvious since The Four Horsemen turned on Sting.
 
Good. The Fiend stuff is unwatchable and reminds me of a poorly scripted Netflix Halloween special. Guess I'll quote Cornette and say "If you want to be an actor, quit wrestling and move to Hollywood." Same with Alexa. She's in a wrestling (I know Vince would say Entertainment) company, so wrestle occasionally and drop the swing sit surrounded by dolls routine.
 
Going to have to go back to Elimination Chamber 2014 and watch the Wyatt’s vs The Shield.

That was one of my favorite matches of
the last few years.

Wild someone just outright admits to being 100% delusional in more ways than one

Idk how many of you old timers have tik tok, but I would suggest looking up Lingerie fighting… thank me later. I’m looking at you @Col. Angus
 
Ok, lol. I just finished the rough copy of Cornette and towards the end…Meltzer is 100% on AEW’s payroll after giving Jericho and methhead 4 stars. Listen to that clowns reasoning, lol.
 
SMH. He said himself he didn’t even like the match.

Rumors going around that Mox will be facing Tanahashi at All Out. That’s going to end up a loaded show if things work out like it’s looking.

I had a suspicion it would go that route. Will be a helluva card. I just honestly want Hangman vs Omgea. Hangman doesn’t even have to win. 60 time limit draw. Boom. Omega vs anyone else, even punk would be underwhelming at this point.
