Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 427: If Sarah Logan wins, we Riott [rusev day]

(+) Yeah! (+)

A lot of you guys were saying it may be a chance for them to see if Omega can be WWE style

I would say a good chunk of the match was WWE pacing, but then a lot of quick hitting signature moves was about the only part that wasnt. Or am I way off?

so did it live up to the hype?

My favorite match was the Scrull 4 way match. Ive been getting less into the flippy stuff from WWE, but this was a multiman match where I like it and there was a lot of cool stuff in it. I think the backstory that Iceman gave help me be more invested too.
---

Storyline wise the main event was the highlight for me.

Certainly the best finishing stretch.

But that 4 way was frenetic and excellent fun
---

I was like half asleep for the main, I watched like the end end but it lost a lot of impact by not paying attention
---

Also 2 new pairings for MMC

Banks and Balor
and....

RUSEV AND LANA
---

Ok. It looks like people are finally talking about it, I didn't yet cause I didn't want to spoil it, can we talk on the last match now???

No because a lot of people will watch it over the weekend.

Fair enough. Thank you for the prompt response

Reminder that New Years Dash is tonight, NJPWs version of the post-WM Raw
---

Yeah expect beach balls and smark chants.
---

the NYD crowd is actually pretty damn smarky.

They don't chant about which diva swallows, but it's getting close to a western crowd.

I think a lot of people going to the Dome from America are going to both shows.

I don't know what to make of Jericho having long hair again.

If fucks with my brain.

He's racing Randy Orton to see who can get to their rookie year in WWE first.
---

Fantastic matches. The finishing stretch of Okada vs. Naito was spectacular for sure. Jericho vs. Omega was brutal and intense from the very start. I am definitely okay with having spent the money to watch those two matches.
---

So I was just realizing what could technically happen at WrestleMania this year, but I'm 100% sure WWE wouldn't (and honestly shouldn't) do it.

1) Carmella wins Women's Royal Rumble
2) Carmella challenges Charlotte to a match at Mania (or whoever the SD Women's champ is at the time)
3) Carmella wins SD Women's title at WM34
4) Later, she cashes in the MITB on the Raw Women's Champion, becoming the first woman to hold both belts at the same time

Im assuming 3/4 should be switched. Royal rumble winner can choose either brand, and mitb was a smackdown ppv. But wwe can make up rules etc

This. Loved their adorable chemistry in NXT

We are not discussing the last match, okay, but the 4-way was my favorite of the night. Takahashi is new boo thang.
---

I've got a ton of thoughts on WK12 but if we're going to hold off on the last match for a couple days, I might as well hold off on everything. I wanna see what happens at New Year's Dash anyway. My one hot take today is that I might be the only person on the planet who actually liked Okada's new pants.

Also, this probably doesn't mean much, but I really appreciate everyone who tuned in to watch, whether it was for the whole thing or just a match or two. Don't know how many new fans were created or anything, but y'all tried something new and that's all I can ask for. Thanks for the support.
---

Oh Paige..... i mean i guess they aren't technically new, just newly leaked

I liked them! But I'm not really into the little manties wrestlers wear, so pants4lyfe
---

Finally time to finish watching after I passed out last night. Junior 4 way was awesome, White/Tanahashi has been okay so far, not amazing
---

Beretta/Ishii/Yano is a blessed team.

i thought they were cool too

wear what you want man, unless it's blue. *cough* batista

WK12 beated that was fun

I have no eye for good wrestling through so I can't tell you what was and wasn't good. I feel Ibushi/Cody was my favorite match through
---

Usual set of feuds and angles built up for the coming months at NYD.

One in particular will make a lot of headlines.
---

aww yeah Jericho/Naito
---

Oh Meltzer confirmed on his twitter that Ricochet is heading to NXT.

Couple of years late, but he did have that LU contract at the time.
---

James Storm also made some comments about wanting to go back to NXT soon. Can't wait for that... feud?
---

I've only seen the first Ospreay match and his Prince Puma stuff in LU. Does he wrestle differently as himself?
---

Im watching RR 2001. Whats the deal with the Chyna injury? Its a work right? but why

So people would care about her WM win....

It doesn't work.

If you're asking why they treat it like the fucking Owen Hart injury......

Fuck you Vince!!!

I like both Hardys here working together and holding down the ring, but I dont get why they would fight. I would like to see a spot where a tag team comes in early and holds down the ring for a good chunk of the match would be interesting to see. Not like the Nexus stable stuff but just like the Usos holding down the fort for a while

or maybe sasha and bailey for the womens

this kane is best mask and attire by the way. Always been my favorite look for him
---

Man R truth had such a great physique. I wonder if his issue was just being black and thats why his cieling was so low

They had to explain why she was no longer wrestling men.

So what do you guys think about Miz and Asuka for MMC

Miz refusing to tag in and taking all the credit for their eventual win will be awesome.

Also Bayley and Samoa Joe is literally the final RAW team.
---

Makes sense. Miz wins for charity since he's Miz and Asuka remains undefeated.
---

Wrestlecrap's ****er of the Year is up for voting. Choices are...

- Bliss vs Bayley feud
- Orton vs Wyatt feud
- Wyatt vs Balor feud
- WWE Champion Jinder Mahal
- Mickie James is "old"
- Jeremy Borash vs Josh Matthews feud
- Lavar Ball on Raw
- Emmalina
- Dolph Ziggler rips off entrances, then disappears
- Jason Jordan is Kurt's son

Currently, Jinder is winning by 4% over Orton/Wyatt
---

I think you can narrow that list down to much fewer options. Some of those simply aren't very significant or weren't the worst thing in the world.

- Bliss vs Bayley feud
- Orton vs Wyatt feud
- Wyatt vs Balor feud
- WWE Champion Jinder Mahal
- Jason Jordan is Kurt's son

Obviously the Jinder thing was the most significant of those. But each one is pretty bad for its own reason. Wyatt vs. Balor wasn't the worst thing in the world until Sister Abigail, which was awful. Bayley got buried in her feud with Bliss and some really awful segments came of it. Orton vs. Wyatt had a pretty good start and then just completely trashed out from Wrestlemania forward. The Jason Jordan thing is just pretty dumb all around, but apparently they're actually getting the desired reaction - like you're supposed to kinda hate him already.

I think you could pretty well take Jinder as the worst of those overall, but I'll put a good second place on Bliss vs. Bayley for absolutely demolishing someone's character in the quickest way possible, and a very close tied-for-third on the Wyatt feuds.

Ok Miz. Lose the Intercontinental Title and not just say, "I'm going to become World Champion before the year ends." Way to set your sights low.
---

Strowman is the best
---

Braun is the best
---

Man, don't hinder Jinder
---

Raw was good

I actually like what they are doing with Jordan.
