The Wrestling Discussion Thread

@RedwoodOriginal I don’t want to spoil it for myself because when I watch a match after a while, it’s like seeing it for the first time again and you pick up things you didn’t see before, but I feel like there was a piledriver spot from that Flair/Funk match which lived long in my memory

Plus Jericho doesn't need another 5 year run in WWE like he did in AEW. He's already a legend and a first ballot HOFer. Just around 1 year of Y2J. Hopefully Y2J will be more apprehensive towards Nose in getting his own creative get through to the WWE. Cena was too nice to just follow their orders with a shitty creative.
 
First time posting real wrestling here lol https://m.youtube.com/@TheKidGeorgio/shorts

Have yall seen this guy? Has been doing this take down or get a $1000 challenge for years; lost once but he deleted the video lol.

Shows how elite level wrestling really is. Think he was state or national level.

It’s no surprise Brock and Kurt were freak athletes in wrestling and pro wrestling. You need crazy strength in positions that will cause the average bloke to twist an ankle or break a hand, or if Allah na karay he breaks his friggin neck then no telling if he’ll ever come back.

Then you add to that that there’s level in there between State, actually making NCAA rankings, and then National and Olympic levels. The level difference shown when Kurt beat Brock back stage in a wrestling match, weighing less and with less height.

Same thing in MMA. Wrestling is the best base. It’s why Daniel Cormier despite being 5’7” was double champ in light heavy and heavyweight routinely fighting guys who were 6’2”+ because his base was that of an Olympic medalist wrestler like Kurt

He was actually supposed to fight Brock!! They even had a confrontation to build up the fight in the octagon pushing each other, but I believe Brock left for the WWE instead.

To the point that many firmly believe Daniel would’ve beaten Brock despite the size difference with superior striking and grappling.

But at the same time if Brock and Kurt both started MMA from the very beginning, there’s a very good chance that they would be world class champions. Brock already went pretty far despite getting in late.

Think Brock's ploy was simply to get a bigger deal from WWE as he told later in 2019 that he was just too old for MMA at that point. And that tease for a switch back to UFC worked immensely in Brock's favor. Just one appearance at UFC and a picture with Dana White without even having filed for clearance of his name for PED testing fooled the whole world of wrestling and MMA into thinking he was going back.
Cormier and Brock have actually known each other since their high school days as both were freestyle wrestlers then and if I am not wrong they competed against each other back then. I saw an interview of Brock with Cormier a few years ago where they went down that memory lane.
Another reason why Gable Steveson was so hyped to become a success in WWE but for some reason never found going in prowrestling.

I have deep admiration for wrestlers and their toughness, in-fact I have more respect for this sport then MMA as a whole, it’s no coincidence that greatest MMA fighters were from wrestling backgrounds, technically sound and extremely tough / mentally unbreakable. It would have been an interesting fight to see, DC/Brock, at that point I feel DC would have been a big favourite, but it would have been more interesting to see DC against a Lesnar during his best form as HW Champion, it’s still ridiculous how successful he became in the UFC despite getting in so late.
 
Apart from the ME, what a soulless RAW, they telegraphed Y2J and put on the drizzling sh!ts. Is this what we call a premier show? Nothing happened.
 
Bron as good as he is, far from the finished article; he 100% could do with more reps, maybe it’s a tad harsh because this was his first big title shot / lengthy match, and perhaps it was nerves to, in the long run this experience will benefit him for sure. You can still make a guy like Bron at this stage but the hierarchy is clueless with making stars. He was way more over-eager with his work & his timing was a little off, areas which can be sorted though.
 
- Cena: Gone
- Roman Reigns: Kept low profile
- Orton: Kept low profile & tasked to be media mascot
- Lesnar: Kept low profile
- AJ Styles: Stuck in the mid-card
- The Rock: Left due to creative differences

I wonder what’s causing ALL THIS? Could it be the charisma vacuum with a fragile ego, who can’t satisfy Stephanie properly when the lights go off.

I noticed the same thing during his triple threat match against Ilja and JD and later on against Hayes as well. Some of spots are great but he somehow just disjointed in those matches too. Yet to watch his match against Punk though. Haven't been able to watch WWE properly for over a month now owing to the lack of excitement and stupid booking.

Hes lucky Orton respects him so much, and couldn’t really care about accolades so he’s happy to be ambassador / mascot or whatever. Unlike Kutta, he has actually evolved and grown mature with age.

the others have achieved everything there is to achieve in this industry, 50x over whatever Kutta could do, so at this point they don’t really care if he gives them their flowers or not. Unlike him they don’t have an ego about it.

Vince would work with his worst enemy if necessary to deliver A+ product, this guy can’t even do justice by the guys who look up to him and were good to him.

So sad to see our childhood hero getting treated like a sideshow bob on his own podcast by a talentless chick who went anywhere only through her connection to him…

Time to take her off the pod man. Let her throw a fit behind closed doors. It happens.

She’s gonna tank whatever relations and friendships he has with anyone in the business. Shes fully capable of burning all those bridges.
