Winner.

To follow up from the end of the last topic, I wonder if hell even use the basic Walls of Jericho

In New Japan, all the debuting Young Lions from the New Japan Dojo start with the exact same moveset (which they expand upon as they develop their style and character), and the Boston Crab is the submission finisher to that moveset.
---

Man, why are people letting the 500 posts get so lame?
---

Its like Raw viewership, tanking by the end
---

Jeez, that was simultaneously amazing and horrifying.
---

Honestly, Rusev rules
---

I just wish Rusev would get a good push so I can stop hearing that Rusev deserves a better push. And I LIKE Rusev.
---

oh Rusev yes I approve of Rusev Day

I did something silly and actually searched for "wrestling"

Happy Rusev Day!

Even WWE.com doesn't know the name of Seth's finisher anymore..."the knee."

Hasn't it been 8 months? Seriously, is it that hard? CONFLAGRATION! I came up with that in five seconds. "The Knee that beat Sheamus" is treading on hilarious callback syndrome to DB's fabled "THE KNEE THAT BEAT CENA!"
---

For the longest time I thought it was just called the Kingslayer.
---

King's Landing was the unofficial term. Not that I understand what that means.

It's a reference to a place in Game of Thrones
---

Sounds like something Seth would come up with. Not that I would know. I haven't watched American TV in 5 years.
---

So when is Seth banging is his sister on RAW?
---

so is the WK12 press conference in 90 minutes something I'll want to see for Jericho related things
---

So I guess Lillian Garcia had Paige on her podcast and Paige was really candid about it. Apparently she had a lot more issues with drugs and alcohol than we had thought when she was with Alberto. But during it, she owned up to basically everything and admitted she had messed up and has worked hard to get better. She's currently in AA and mental therapy and has said she's learned everything she did during that time was wrong.

I wish she had learned that a lot sooner, but I'm glad she was able to do a complete turnaround for her sake.
---

It didn't help the one outlet she had (wrestling) was something she couldn't do for nearly a year.
---

I wonder if she'll stop getting hated on by so many people now.

I think her not being on the air has a lot to do with the things she was doing wrong outside of the ring including Del Rio.

Sidenote: people on PWB are complaining about "Woken" Matt Hardy. I guess we just can't have nice things.
---

PWB is GameFAQs cancer. Outside of people bitching about Metacritic or RottenTomatoes review scores = quality or impact, PWB has to be the worst. Even when they post wrestling "news," it gets bogged down by stupid posts of people suffering from "INTERNET COCK SYNDROME!"
---

Im not too big on it right now, but i hope it gets better.
---

Can we stick with the standard name in the future then whatever for the caption please. I usually search for wres also so not seeing that pop up can be confusing

I have to say Joe is better on the stick in WWE. I recall him being good before, but it feels like all his embellishment and his way with words is really set up for the wwe style and he is nailing it now. I wonder how much time in NXT was him working that out. It feels a lot like Trips had some hand in the way he is speaking. Not the pacing but how he really hits certain words and expressions.

He may be a top 5 mic and worker right now
---

Also if you guys show me how to watch Omega and Jericho I probably will. I woud enjoy being filled in on the undercards as they happen too
---

God...why are so many pissed at the name?

I wanted it to be fun, not people bitching over semantics...

His feud with Regal was easily his best promo work ever.

Because people search for the topics by the word "wrestling".
---

I get that, but I don't need three people saying that in the span of a day. This isn't TPS reports from Office Space.
---

yeah well guess what

Happy Rusev Day
---

This as a one off is absolutely fine and if you couldn't find the topic via "wres" there's a million other ways you could have found it.

It was a one-off.

Yeah but someone has to pay for the mini-golf tournament

So I've slowly been catching up on NXT and I just need to ask.

Is Adam Cole what Shawn Michaels would be in the 90's if he was less of an asshole but more strung up on heroin?
---

No, he's Michael Cole's son.
---

so is real Naito as entertaining as Tiger Mask W Naito
---

No. But who really could be as amazing as that version of Naito?

Well, he's roughly .1% as talented as HBK.
---

Thats pretty harsh
---

.1% as talented at procuring Soma tablets for consumption as HBK.

Jobber scream for days

is there good stuff on NXT

I don't think I've watched it since Asuka left

Ehhh... no more or less than NXT had before that. It's always a hit or miss show. But it makes for good background for when I workout.

It's almost time to celebrate Rusev Day!

Gulak face turn continues to build

@MrBrandonStroud

Byron Saxton has suddenly become 100% the most unlikable character in WWE during this match's commentary. Holy shit
