He's someone I would genuinely start watching RAW again for. I can just never forget the way he could ragdoll any 300lber around like it was nothing. Although I've heard his mic skills and his ability to just rag anything around was half the reason WWE didn't seem that bothered in letting him walk away. Claims that he's dangerous to work with aren't rare to find. I don't think kicking Bret Hart's head off does him any justice. Hart was never sour about this though. If anything I swear he blamed a lot of people except Goldberg. He blamed those that sent Goldberg out there and told him to look like a machine or dominant rather than teaching him how to work in the ring.

With Goldberg though, not the greatest technical wrestler by any means, I see a pure athlete, someone capable of absolutely anything and is always in near perfect condition. Reminds me of the first Lesnar stint. Lesnar back then was another pure athlete that looked like the real deal and very much was.

He's another one of the 'Big guys' I think WWE is lacking. Lesnar is about part time but I already feel like Ryback all but failed, Reigns. Rollins, Ambrose and co just don't do it for me and that's why I've never watched RAW in a long time now, you can go back a while in this thread before you find me up to date on what's going on.

My ever growing love for MMA has probably played it's part in that but factor in just growing well out of a PG show with the loss of major stars, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan forever being injured or just falling down the pecking order, Dolph Ziggler's 5 minutes and so on.

Wrestling today sucks so hard. I've had to go back to watching old wcw shows things have got so bad

Daniel Bryan has announced his retirement from wresting and will make an official announcement on Raw tonight.

MalteseFalcon · 08-02-2016, 21:17

Very disappointing news, but health always comes first. Apparently it is a concussion that has forced retirement, not the neck injury he had the other year. I imagine the pop tonight is going to freaking huge when the music hits. Hopefully not the last time we see him in a ring.

...but WOW! The opening 10 minutes to Raw was the biggest "Holy ****" start in about 20 years that didn't involve Paul Heyman or The Rock. Seriously did not see that coming, very very smart piece of business.

MalteseFalcon · 23-02-2016, 05:44

Hoping it means what I hope it means, because I want Hunter to be champion for a LONG time to come.

Gave Raw a try last week, Too much to catch up on after a few years away from it now but I quickly discovered Titus O'Neil was suspended after a Live incident at D-bry's retirement. After watching it on youtube and hearing the story behind it... well it's nice to see WWE may be in a PG era but still manages to absolutely crap on talent at every conceivable opportunity.

Russ · 12-03-2016, 07:19

All the more shocking when Titus is the number 2 guy behind Cena for charity events but word is WWE wanted to send a message of "we'll punish anyone if they step out of line".

adzii_nufc · 12-03-2016, 07:31

I still feel the need to tune in to WM though, there's no way Shane goes over Taker cleanly and it's also too much to have Taker just win and that be that. There's a turn coming somewhere in this match.

MalteseFalcon · 12-03-2016, 08:26

I wish I could say I was looking forward to Mania. Sadly, I am losing interest in WWE once again. This part of the year always used to be the best for buildup, but this year it sucks. Sucks more than the most powerful vacuum cleaner.

adzii_nufc · 17-03-2016, 18:48

Anyone played the games lately? 15 and 16?

Also a proper topic, Reigns is toxic, if people thought John Cena being face for so long was dire then they need to watch the reactions to Reigns, I've never seen a face get so much of a negative reaction.

Russ · 17-03-2016, 20:18

I can't agree with that, it's true Reigns does get negative reactions but not as much as Cena. There have been plenty of shows where the crowd has been mainly pro-Reigns. Cena gets booed almost everywhere.

MalteseFalcon · 17-03-2016, 20:46

Up until the week Triple H attacked Reigns, it was PPV crowds who dumped over Reigns, and the RAW crowds cheered him on. I really don't think Reigns is the new face of the business.

Sting forced to retire with the same injury that retired Edge.

Jacqueline takes the Divas spot in the HoF this year, joining the Freebirds and Big Boss Man in there.

adzii_nufc · 18-03-2016, 05:32

Sad but different for Sting. Still capable of holding up a match but was nearing the end of his legendary career. I feel Edge was still in his prime and had so much more to give.
Sucks for both either way. There's no justice. The original botchcara gets to wrestle albeit elsewhere and the great Khali lives on. I did understand where they were going with Khali at first as a monster heel but Cena dumped him off a crane and lo and behold, someone worse than Kane for being buried, even though Kane isn't a complete broom in the ring. It's not exactly uncommon. Umaga (Umanga as legend Regal puts it)

Although they were both buried by Cena funnily enough. Lesnar came back to be a monster heel but was pinned by Cena in his first match.

Anyway is Jericho off on tour again? Usually when he's putting someone over in a feud it means he's going to be away at the end of it. Pretty admirable guy when you consider the amount of new talent he's laid down for and put over.

Lastly, people are adamant there's a brand split coming. With that in mind, there's simply no way Shane goes over Taker cleanly. I'd die. So how does Shane win? They won't be bothered now that Taker has a loss already so I'm sure they're happy to have a dodgy ending. Anyone expecting a massive twist?

MalteseFalcon · 18-03-2016, 06:41

I am but damned if I can see what it is. I wonder if Rollins will be back early from injury and cost Taker the match, or cost Shane the match and they have a match at the next PPV with the brand up for grabs.
