The WRASSLIN’ Thread

WWE needs to sell a Rusuv calendar and on all 365 days it should say Rusev Day and a picture of Lana for every month.

It’s available minus the Lana pic

Really?? I may have to get one.

I was interested in the Elimination Chamber, but this "Gauntlet Match" has already lost my interest. 35 kickouts from the insurmountable already.

I can’t believe I’m getting this match on free TV

Tell me why it's still exciting to watch wrestlers kick out of finisher after finisher after finisher?

The kick outs suck, but Rollins is putting on a show

 

[oUTlaw]

At this point, Rollins has to go the distance in this match only to be crushed by Braun at the end, right?

Because this isn’t 1998 and finishers don’t mean what they use to. Sure there was finisher spam but I enjoyed the hell out of that story and pacing of the match.

Probably.

Kind of a weird time to start a Rollins push.

 

[zjcvols]

Well that was odd booking

It's not a "Rollins" push as much as it is Rollins lost both of his tag team partners and they can't go to Mania without him.

Thanks

... Which is a huge problem. They can only up the ante on high spots so much.

Not really. Now they can make Balor look good to push him for Mania. Then Strowman cleans up with whoever is left.

I just got home, what was this gauntlet match for? I assume i need to go back and watch it?

 

[ATC_VOL]

At home sick with the flu and watching RAW for the first time in 3-4 years. Rollins was really impressive. I do kind of agree with the over use of finishers, but he was very entertaining.

If you forgot how awesome Rollins is, yes you should go watch it. I don't mean to sound so negative, the finishers thing is just so silly. Rollins completely made the AA and the STF look completely worthless though.

the STF has only been slightly less worthless than the Walls of Jericho for about 4 years now

Charly is a very lovely woman.

 

[GAVol]

Why on earth do they make Asuka talk and why do they give Nia Jax a job?

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Speaking of finishers not meaning much anymore, Nia Jax just delivered 3 leg drops to Asuka. Imagine if that were Hulk Hogan, they'd have to carry the guy out on a strecher.

There's a lot of cushion in Nia's legdrop.
