WWE Off-Topic

[Bellsprout]

We don't really have a thread for if you just happen to be watching a match, any match, and you have some sort of observation or random comment about it.

Anyways, I was watching Punk/Cena from MITB last year, and damn was Cena's reversal of the GTS into the STF cool. Also loved Punk's reversal of the AA, which was basically overflipping and landing on his feet. That match seriously never gets old. Amazing crowd, and the match lived up to it.

Also, what is it about Cena that makes people want to actually hit him (or in this case, knee him) in the face? Lesnar's been doing it, and Punk did it too.



Now I'm watching HHH/Taker from Wrestlemania XXVII. I feel like this match gets forgotten for some weird reason, because while it's not either HBK/Taker match, and it's not HHH/Taker III from this year, it's freaking awesome. Brutal match.

Also, I think Ditto guy is sitting in the front row for it. Which makes me chuckle.

I think it's more Cena isn't afraid to take those hits and probably tells people beforehand that they can get one or two good shots on him in if they want.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Good thread idea. I remember ditto guy, but does anyone know what happened to Tie Dye guy (or am I thinking of the same person?)? lol

Also, just saw this grantland article comparing WWE to NBA.

Wouldn't surprise me, he's taken some brutal shots throughout his career may have some something to do with his football days but either way he's seemingly not afraid to get dirty.

Anyone ever notice that Bret Hart always beat HBK UNTIL the Ironman match? The one that finally mattered.

Also, anyone notice how long it took Shawn to get to the top? Everyone always gets pissed about how long it takes for to people to be pushed. One of the best of all time took YEARS to get pushed.

Bret Hart was a jerk throughout that match too. HBK worked on his arm for almost 30 minutes and Bret would not sell it.

So, when the match was over, HBK told Bret to "get the **** out of my ring."

Re: WWE Off-Topic

I've watched it multiple times, and to this day, it is the best match I've ever seen.

In fairness when you have guys like Hogan, Flair, Warrior(lol), Savage, it's kinda hard to replace them.


And to Marino's point, HBK said that wasn't the case. That message was not for anything that happened during that match or before it. It was to set up an angle later on between them.

I <3 Savage/Steamboat from WM III. Could watch this all day.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Now that I'm not "in the moment" and I can kind of sit back and relax while watching this, that Kane/Borton match is about as good a match as I think those two could possibly put on together.

Which means it's pretty mediocre, obviously. But it isn't ****ing horrible, and I consider that a win.

And if it weren't obvious, I'm watching Wrestlemania XXVIII right now.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

They showed a guy with a sign where he drew the house from Family Guy with The Rock standing outside it yelling "That guy's a jabroni!" at Cena inside. Whoever you are that made that, you're my favorite person of the day today.

Hell in a Cell time. I am happy.

Kane/Orton at Extreme Rules was better than their match at WM. Just saying.

I'm not disputing that. But for a standard singles match, what they did at Wrestlemania feels to me like about as decent a match as those two were capable of putting on. Which, as I said, was still fairly mediocre, but it wasn't terrible.
