AEW / WWE thread - Real Fighting about Fake Fighting

The most important character/wrestler to never win a world title?

 

Roddy Piper, Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect

 

Piper is a good call but Rude's career was really short. Thinking back on my list Scott Hall never winning a World Title has to be up there.

 

DiBiase, Arn and Jake the Snake in the conversation too

 

Technically DiBiase was the champ for a few days when Andre gave him the belt.

 

Dont think that shows up in the history books though. Thought Jack Tunney said that it didnt count and stripped Andre

 

You know shit was serious when this showed up during a broadcast.

 

Hot Take: Ember won that thread with Becky.

 

Please, not again....fitting that her and Roman on the same brand now

Becky Lynch to come face-to-face with Charlotte Flair for the first-time since WrestleMania

For the first-time since their epic Triple Threat Winner Take All Match against Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania, Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will stand across the ring from one another.

Considering the chances that the two intense Superstars will come to blows, will there be anything left of SmackDown LIVE when The Man stands face-to-face with The Queen?

 

Finally watched Montreal Screwjob on Vice. Nothing earth shattering in there but come away with the same feeling others did that indeed, Brett screwed Brett. Seems like they could have gone for a Steamboat-Flair double pin ending that ended up with the title being vacated but honestly Brett should have just done the job.

 

Charlotte laying the smackdown on Vince... She got Andrade back to Smackdown lol

My guess is they "trade" Samoa Joe for Almas and Vega

Also looks like Alister Black is also listed on the Smackdown roster so he may be moving over since he's now married to Vega

He's actually got a few more dates/house shows before he's gone.

 

I'm starting to believe Scott Hall and thinking it was a huge work. I belive Brett, Shawn, Vince and a couple others knew.

 

He did make a compelling case but Cornette sure didn't buy it.

 

Why does Jim Cornette hate Vince Russo so much? That was quite the rant he made at the end of the episode

 

She just keeps getting hotter

 

Blue pants signed with AEW

 

that would be quite a sell job considering Bret went backstage and broke Vince’s jaw

 

He didn’t break his jaw lol. He gave him a black eye

 

Lmao wwe changed the Viking experience to the Viking raiders already

 

Vince was never going to allow War. Viking Raiders is fine.

 

Seems like Andrade, Aleister Black and Zelina Vega have all been moved back to Smackdown

 

So how many changes have happened now since last weeks shakeup? Just amplifies how badly booked the product is now

 

I want to give them credit for thinking this out... Joe (a champion) for Black and Andrade makes sense.

They had some secondary talent moved post Smackdown but nothing serious. Probably Liv being the biggest name.

 

They started calling Ember Moon the War Goddess last week.

 

Really? the commentary team did?

 

Joe and Cesaro moved to RAW

 

Yes

 

Saw Joe announced in one of the 3 ways to determine #1 contender. No more Bar? Unceremonious end.

 

Joe was always going to Raw, he was just sick last week. So even if they sell it like a trade, it wasn't ever thought out that way.

 

Sheamus is hurt

 

crowd's so thirsty for Seth

 

Hope Cesaro gets a chance to shine then.

 

This is the most boring promo format they could come up with. Especially after announcing the matches 15 minutes before on USA.

 

man imagine how dumb these guys are gonna feel when none of them are in the triple threat matches

 

40 minutes for two total segments

EDIT: holy shit, Alicia Fox still has a job? Over/under 2 minute match?

 

to be fair one of those was a Raw main event level match

 

GET EM SAMI

 

So the war raiders are heels now?

EDIT: Also, outside the obvious reason for Seth Rollins, this crowd is dead

 

They've been calling her that since she got called up

 

Rusev and Dollar General. Never thought I'd see that combo

 

Got to be the sloppiest match I’ve seen from Becky in a while. Botch city

EDIT: Roode with the porn stache

 

Will Roode use the power of the penis as well?

 

Hey! I got an ideal! Let's rename Bobby Roode to Robert Roode and give him a mustache, doot doot doot!

 

Seriously, bring in Joey Ryan and make him partners with Roode and call them the Cockswains

 

Jake the Snake...never held a belt of any kind IN THE WWF

 

Bobby Robert Roode with a mustache that says “yeah, I’ve been nude on film, what about it?”

 

holy crap Bray

ok I'm on board
