Then she shouldn't have signed for kayfabe baqwas, should have stayed in UFC getting owned by Nunes and Holm.

She had a legendary career, better then nakli victories kids get the lube out for, thinking the disarmer is more deadly then an actual armbar, idiots.
 
Lesnar didn’t even go to the Olympics and he went into MMA late and had great success, just off Angle’s wrestling, assuming he would be healthy, he’d be devastating. Just look at how dominant Khazmat & other wrestlers have been in MMA which you’ve mentioned, I wish we did get to see him but he wouldn’t have been 100% healthy. Dana & Angle spoke again around 06/07, Angle said he would do it if he could do both TNA & UFC, but Dana said UFC only and Angle didn’t think about it again, besides that cameo in Warrior :afridi
Perc Angle would’ve been an u unstoppable force as USADA was not in the picture at that point so you could use any cocktail substance mix no matter how cracked and whatever roids. Just ask Jon jones

Good times. And yeah exactly Brock wasn’t event Olympic level but already so good. That’s why Yoel who had the same base as Kurt as Olympic wrestler went so far, so would Kurt.

But mma is an unforgiving sport man, despite the bumps and travelling etc in pro wrestling… Kurt knew that and chose the smarter option, and still took so long to recover from his injuries

True lmao it wouldn’t have been short lived with the personal drug abuse, although he would never take PED’s. When you go through pro-wrestling then MMA, your body is already so beaten up, like people don’t appreciate how tough wrestlers are, we saw that spirit when Punk went into the UFC & he was never an athlete so it was always going to be a lottery, but he never tapped out to strikes & won a round or two on the judges cards which was a miracle in itself, it’s even more surreal to see Lesnar have the success he did, well past his physical prime & a brutal few years with the WWE. So it was a good choice from Angle, I think because of his background maybe he could have had some success against the top contenders and a little less likely been champion, even if he did it would have been short lived in 06/07.
 
Can’t believe that first hour involved Cena/Sami in a match then Lesnar at the end, maybe the best hour of TV they have done in ages, what a great match; who’d have thought if you just let the wrestlers go out there and work you can achieve such wonders, I pray there’s some slim home Cena & AJ get to work together.

Great to see AJ Lee back, I expected a new gimmick but this is what the fans know.

Seeing the effect pro wrestling had on Kurt's body, it's a good decision in hindsight that he didn't go to UFC. MMA is even far more damaging on the body.

Seems like Cena's been told by Noseley that he's not getting a match with AJ. Now noseley is willingly trying to book Cena poorly probs cause Cena gave him the finger when he said recalling Brock wasn't his idea.
 
Talking about the inverse, really feel Chael Sonnen should’ve switched to pro wrestling after mma.

Dude grew up watching pro wrestling and his promos were A+ lmao, seemed like someone airdropped out of a pro wrestling event with mic in hand and initially said he wanted to be a pro wrestler. Rampage said the same. Both could’ve made it big in WWE.
This.

It's a shame Chael never went to WWE because I can think of few UFC fighters as good at talking trash. Chael was the pioneer in UFC in that regard. Long before that dips**t McGregor stepped in. Think he would have transitioned to wrestling really well.
 
She probably said no to Wade back in the day
:yk3

I mean it’s fine really, in all honestly I think whoever has been responsible for managing Nikki’s return has done a p!ss poor job, whatever peoples view on her, she’s a star in her own right and I don’t think they’ve given her that respect based on her age and misguided view on her abilities really, Nikki doesn’t seem like a suck up either so H could easily have put up these guys to it for the wrong reasons.
You think too highly of Nikki Bella. For me, she was nothing more than a sightly better version of a typical Diva. I don't remember any of her matches being any good. She was always super hot, don't get me wrong. But women's wrestling didn't start improving till Paige came in, and then after that you had Charlotte, Becky, Bayley, Sasha on NXT. What did Nikki Bella ever do besides generating some ratings for them from that dumb reality TV show and dating Cena?

Maybe Bella's return could have been slightly better if she was feuding with Liv, like they originally planned. But still I don't know if it could have been that different. You can't blame Triple H or whoever put this together for the multiple botches she did in Paris.

My man Wade on the other hand is probably the best heel commentator going around these days. Not that the bar is particularly high. But still catching flak for saying something like is beyond stupid.

Kurt's neck was in no shape for him to do UFC. Add to that, the substance abuse issues he had during that time and you just know it would have ended really badly. I think he knew this, and also, he loved wrestling too much which is why he went to TNA after falling out with Vince.

It was pretty good but slightly ruined by the fans. I get that they love Cena and it's his final appearance in Chicago but I don't understand why they felt the need to boo one of their top babyfaces Sami Zayn like that. I also felt like it was one of the dumber WWE crowds. Like, it was fairly obvious when Sami came out that they were going to a match, yet these people started booing him loudly before he even said a word.

Also felt like the opening segment showed one of the reasons why Cena's heel run failed. The crowd did not want to boo him. Even when he turned heel it felt very forced whenever the crowd would try to boo him, and even then the crowd used to be split with the Let's Go Cena/Cena Sucks chants. Heck, when Cena won the belt at WrestleMania he was loudly cheered after he cheated to beat their top babyface. The last year has exposed Triple H as a booker unlike anything else.

If this was any other wrestling promotion in the world, he was have been out on his a$$ months ago.

Also Michael Cole reminded everyone why he is a complete dope and only in this position because of his incessant a$$ kissing over the years of people like Kevin Dunn, Vince and now H.

First this dummy calls the Angle Slam/Olympic Slam, a back suplex.

Then when it's completely obvious that Cena is paying homage to Edge with the spear...even running his hand over his hair like Edge used to, this idiot says it's a reference to Roman Reigns.

Thank god Corey Graves was there to cover on both counts. Amazing how someone like Graves gets shafted to NXT while this idiot Cole is considered to be the 'voice of WWE', and their top commentator. :facepalm:
