Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 414: Punjabi Prison America On a Pole

(+) Yeah! (+)

Agreed. Both of Suzuki's matches have been bogged down by SZG inteference.

SANADA definitely has "Star" written all over him, though. Maybe not next year or even the year after, but he'll be a main eventer at some point, especially if Shibata is indeed done forever.

Tournament has been excellent so far. Ibushi/Naito, Ibushi/ZSJ, and Okada/Elgin were all fantastic.
---

SANADA has star written on him, the way Go Shiozaki has star written all over him.

Would rather put all my eggs into the Kitamura basket.

Still waiting for the "update" from Biscuit about Del Rio being cleared as a suspect and reinstated to GFW, while police have established probable cause to charge Paige with domestic battery.

Hmmmmm
---

why

Hmmmmm

this is called baiting someone into an argument

if you don't want the "novels" then shut the hell up about biscuit and just talk about wrestling in a friendly manner like everyone else does in here. y'all disagree about the situation. get over it.
---

why is the belief harper/rowan?
---

Just a guess on who's been messing with The Fashion Police in their latest skits. Unless for some reason it's The Colons or The Ascension (again)

Huge WWE return announced for 2018!

Meltzer apparently reported tsukky was arrested for stabbing kagetsu.

But that makes no sense, he really can't be trusted on that kind of news.
---

I don't see Harper turning heel again to reunite with Rowan (not that that's stopped WWE)

Leaning Authors of Pain, but I don't want to rule out one betrays the other and they break up (which would be a big mistake)
---

English vs Dillinger was a lot of fun with back and forths and counters
---

It was a lot more fun than I was expecting, yeah. That spinebuster was crazy.
---

I thought for sure with Xavier Woods in the match that The Uso's would retain. To have him get the pin is even more shocking.

Woods has actually been the New Day ironman several times, now.
---

I've only been watching the PPV's for the last few months, unless it's been like that on those as well in which case I must not be paying good enough attention.
---

Dick Kick City

Corbin the King of Dong Style.
---

Those roundhouse kicks by Lana were probably the literal worst I have ever seen.
---

That's... an odd choice for a Summerslam Women's Title match.
---

It has pre-show written all over it.
---

Why is it odd? Natalya's the only heel on the women's roster except for Lana (which holy crap don't put her in the Summerslam match if she can't even cover someone properly) or Tamina which... might not have been too bad either, especially with Lana shenanigans. But Natalya can always put on a good match, so I can see their match being really good. Plus you always have the chance of a Carmella cash in.
---

Because are they really gonna have a Summerslam Women's Title match WITHOUT Charlotte?
---

"Hey Kev, the ref is down, what should we do?"
"Let's go for a bunch of submissions!"
"Sounds good."
---

...What kind of ending was that
---

Um.

What was that finish.
---

Like, did AJ just literally not notice he was being pinned. Was that what that was supposed to be?
---

That was one of the stranger ref bump segments I've ever seen
---

I'm thinking the logic is that Styles didn't realize the ref was stirring.

But they're literally going for submissions. While he's down. Meaning if someone taps it won't matter.

That was some of the dumbest wrestling I've ever seen.
---

Looks like Jinder/Orton is main eventing.

There goes streak.
---

Battle for the Heart of America, because the Face is already set (Thanks Kev!).
---

I missed the finish in that match, but I just went back and watched it and I don't understand any of it.
---

Wait I think I know the ending they were supposed to have there and Owens may have fucked it up.

AJ is getting pinned.
Owens was probably supposed to tap before the 3 count.
Groggy ref doesn't notice the tap, only sees the shoulders down for the three count.

Hence the whole submission set up there.
---

This Cena flag SCREAMING AMERICA PROMO bs is the worst. I think this is the most I've disliked him his whole career.
---

Damn Rusev is a handsome man.

Come on Carmella cash-in!

HANDSOME RUSEV chant

also Mike Kanellis for streak continuer

So handsome.
---

Also a possibility: the arena loses power randomly after this match and the show cannot continue
---

Has Fashion Police happened yet?
---

YOU STILL GOT IT chants for

JOHN
CENA

I am dying!
---

what if the main event becomes a tag team match playa?

Does Orton/Zack Ryder beating Jinder/Sin Cara count as a new winner?
---

I hope they both get the flags down and we have a nationalistic light saber battle with them
---

Strategy: Get the other person's flag down and hide it
---

Let's Go Rusev/Rusev Sucks chants.
---

Wait.

Have they always had to put their flag on a stand to end the match?

I always thought that it ended with them just getting the flag.
---

Only Cena could get a fanbase to cheer a man picking up a Bulgarian flag.

It's not like Flag matches happen often enough for there to be set rules, but traditionally you're right.
---

Well, I can see why they're traditionally like that, because this match is a bit ridiculous right now with them moving as slow as they can with a flag to put it on a podium on the top of the stage. I don't know what I expected though, because this whole feud has been the laziest thing.
