Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 417: The Abominable Strowman

(+) Yeah! (+)

So Asuka is actually injured and will only be out for 6-8 weeks and the next major NXT event is in November, so she probably won't be stripped of the title, which is good.
---

We talk about how Dean Grand Slammed this past Sunday?
---

Strip her and she goes to the main roster yo feud with carmella

I mentioned it, yes.
---

Is it bad, that I got my hopes up when rusev was rumoured to have asked for his release?
---

No. He and Ziggler both should leave for their own good, if that's what they want.
---

Where would Rusev be used better and also make comparable money?

He's really really great as a WWE heel, and even when his push wanes, he still gets TV time and gets to travel with his wife
---

How much money does Rusev make in WWE?

Like does he make more than the Young Bucks?.
---

Even if he doesn't, he's not making YB money on the indies either

That sucks

I thought she was dating Dolph.
---

Everybody's dating Dolph

Even you

choking on food has to be one of the worst ways to go
---

Saw some facebook comments about it. One jackass went off on how this should be a wakeup call to everyone who does steroids, blah blah blah right after the news hit. Watched the thread progress over a few hours when they announced that he choked to death. Said jackass suddenly went quiet.

People are disgusting.

This Reigns/Cena thing immediately has me wondering if Vince realizes the crowd can just boo both of them.

Does Vince even believe that the crowd boos Roman yet?
---

Between all the boos and Miz tearing into them, you'd think Vince would have some idea. Then again, Miz DID get his moments back in 2010-2011. That was the only problem with an otherwise scathing promo. If he'd tweaked it, saying, "I have had a career year, but you two still overshadow me, and I'm fucking sick of it," that would have solidified the statement.
---

I thought I heard some comment one of the announcers made about Roman being voted the most hated superstar of the year or something during Summerslam. Could have misheard though. If I didn't mishear it, it's almost surprising that Vince hasn't realized it yet. I'd assume he just ignores or doesn't believe it.

That moment doesn't exactly make him look good though <_<
---

It's more than half the roster gets though. He had a huge push in 2011, recently stat padded the hell out of the IC title, and made the case to be a WWE Hall of Famer (like a fringe 2nd/3rd tier inductee). Sure, wanting to be #1 guy is great and all, but Miz is hardly in a position to whine about things. What he should have said is wanting shots at world titles, that those two get because of who they are.
---

I just don't think "I haven't had any moment since that one where I sucked and distracted everyone from the Rock" has much bite to it in a promo
---

I just realized I never watched the rock and cena matches

are they worth it
---

First one is okay. Worth watching once if you never have before.

Second one is fairly mediocre after Rock got injured pretty early on
---

Also I feel like at least having seen the first one is a must considering that it will probably reign forever as the biggest money making match in wrestling history.
---

I feel like for the rumble its either starting out Joe and AJ and they both go super deep or Joe comes out at like 6 or 7 to clear the ring and he rules the whole middle portion until Braun comes in
---

Oh god remember when Corbin eliminated Braun?

LOL
---

Made up championships that only us/me/PWB keep up with
WWE's The Man: Jinder Mahal
WWE's The Guy: Brock Lesnar
Raw Jobber Champion: Curt Hawkins
SD Jobber Champion: Chad Gable
Raw Women's Jobber Champion: Emma
SD Women's Jobber Champion: Lana
Cruiserweight Jobber Champion: Drew Gulak
GFW's The Man: Alberto El Patron
GFW Jobber Champion: Eddie Edwards
---

Damn, El Patron is going out on top.
---

I'm waiting until further notice to vacate said title, as he's only suspended by GFW, not released.

And honestly, if he does get released, then that's probably it for me keeping up with the "title", considering I only read up on online reports and never really watch GFW except for small highlights if a good match occurs.
---

Honestly, I enjoy GFW. It's utterly stupid quite often, but it's fun to make fun of, and there are some good matches.
---

Spoilers for GFW

Eddie Edwards being Jobber Champ is funny since he's the last one eliminated in the Battle Royal for the vacant title.
---

The first one is worth watching for Rock saying "wanna do DDT?" while his voice is cracking.
---

This is the only thing you really need to see to get the experience of the second match.

Braun vs Brock is driving even more casual interest than Joe vs Brock
---

As it should! Braun makes everything better.
---

Jinder's actually not a bad talker at all when he's being arrogant. It's when he tries to get upset or intense that he kinda falls apart.
---

Please let this be the end of the feud. I wanted the Open Challenge. It'll never happen at this rate.
---

I actually do like this Zayn dynamic added to it
---

FDFDFlkLJFDKJLF;ASLDKJFASD;LKFJDS;LFJDASL;KJDSL;KFDS;LKFDS;LKFSDJAF OH SO GLORIOUS!!!!!
---

I also like the idea of Roode seeing a literal spotlight on somebody else and going "Nope, can't have that."
---

THAT is how you make an entrance.
---

That helps SmackDown a lot. I thought they were in a pretty bad situation having Rusev and Gable being improperly used, Jinder as world champ, and Cena leaving for Raw. Roode can add a bit of lost star power back to the equation.
---

Oh my lord SmackDown just renewed interest in the course of 20 minutes.

A great debut and a great return.
---

I wonder if James Storm ever regrets burning bridges with WWE
---

AIN'T NO STOPPIN SMACKDOWN NOOOOOOW!

Goddamn
---

Jon Jones popped for PEDs

Sorry Brock!
---

Mojo pls don't do a gutwrench if you're going to throw the guy directly on his hip.
---

that kick to mojo's head outside the ring is the SAWFTest kick I've ever seen
---

he certainly sold it like it was
