Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 446: Billionaire Who Should Be a Millionaire

(+) Yeah! (+)

So for her big babyface push last night, they had Lana wear blue contacts, like Roman before her

Vince you Aryan bastard!

Lana looked yum.

I'm going to be very courageous and brave:

I like Ronda Rousey in WWE.

Ronda in WWE is forever ruined since Stephanie defended her armbar 8 times

I think her music is shit but am otherwise neutral.

I think this match with Nia Jax will be ugly as sin. I don't think there's really anything that interesting for her to do though. Not even her vs Nattie is all too interesting.
---

I just can't get over how they push her as the baddest woman on the planet, but then every single segment, no matter the tone, she's either smiling or looks like she's horribly, horribly constipated.

I just can't
---

Roman Reigns is the baddest man on the planet and hes always looking like a crybaby
---

Yeah but he's not the baddest bitch in the building.

Well I already don't take him seriously!

Ronda has been better than I expected, at least. I'm not remotely interested in seeing her vs Nia though. Someone with barely any experience versus someone who struggles to do anything properly? It's kind of the problem with bringing in a big celebrity though, they have to give her big stuff to do early before the hype of her joining the WWE dies, but she's pretty limited in what she can actually do well so early into her pro wrestling career.

You could be able to kick anyone's ass in a few minutes and still smile or be constipated.

They are not mutually exclusive

No but they are when the point is to look tough in that moment and she just doesn't

Like it's not a case where she's a smiling, constipated badass. She's supposed to look badass too and just sucks at it

She always has, though, to be fair. It's just much more noticeable now because of promo time.

19 years ago today for the Owen death. Damn.

Nord is Big Cass is probably going to have another ACL surgery now. Supposedly he has sucked in the ring because he came back too early from his injury. But having seen the majority of his matches, he probably sucks in the ring because he's Big Cass.

Regardless, the dude is probably done now and I will not miss him. Feel kinda bad though since injuries sucked, but he was so hard to watch for this past month.
---

Well at least Skyrim will still belong to him.

This made me laugh way too hard.

Sucks for him if that's true. It never good when someone gets injured, but he was going to school to be a doctor. Maybe he'll go back to that if he can't wrestle anymore. He's hopefully made enough to help offset some of those loans at least!
---

so how do the wrestlers feel about wearing blue contacts?

Blue

The XFL has job listings on its site for XFL Players. <_<

Wouldn't it be smarter to actually tell us what the fuck this league is supposed to be and how it will be played before you ask people to play in it?
---

*fights urge to drop everything and go be The Worst Football Player*

Read an awesome story idea for what they should do with Brock and the Universal title going forward that will never happen because it involves a full on Roman heel turn, instead of him being treated like a heel by the audience and booked like the sympathetic babyface.

Rollins continues his hot streak, gets a shot at Lesnar, and wins. This causes Roman to go into a jealous rage because he can't get the job done, and he turns on Seth. Simple, yet awesome.
---

I think I came up with that exact story in this topic
---

Fuck the XFL. Seriously.

Those are the four words I have to say about it and no more.

Or to be super-albeit-falsely-nice

Good Luck, Vince. *puts on shit-eating grin*

Didn't this kinda happen in its first iteration? Lol.

cooler talk at work, I brought up the XFL. they were discuss how Vince would make it scripted like wrestling "Bah gawd player x just poked the ref in the eye and gave player y the low blow, not like this!"
and "THE UNDERTAKER SLOWLY WALKING THE BALL TO THE END ZONE"

I want xfl to be like a football version of WMAC Masters or whatever it was called

For lack of any other discussion, have this absolute monster dunk by Dave on a Russo defender trying to claim he cant be homophobic because he wrote the Goldust character.

You don't have to say that literally every time somebody mentions Meltzer, you know

Dangerously close, but in which direction?

Truth =/= your opinion.

At least I can rationalize my disdain for those stains on the underwear of the business.

Russo - Horrible in every sense of the word. Oh, his WWF work 1997-99 was decent but he bodged WCW up something chronic.

Meltzer - Talks so much shit his toilet is jealous.

Anyway, At least I'm not wanting them "eliminated" like MWC would want Lebron. And I don't have "The problems Ulti has"...

I'm more like *sigh* "Ugh, Go away already" than "Die, Motherfucker, Die!" with either of those two.
---

Bro, the truth is bro, its abnormal for wrestling fans to like a guy like Finn Balor bro. Theyre just attracted to his abs and thats not normal bro.

</totally not homophobic rant>
---

Can we just agree to laugh at the idea that someone thought Goldust was ever a positive representation of gay men?
---

I guess...

*laughs at the Ahmed Stunt* I love how intro the 1995-96 OG Superstars theme showed that clip and goes "Goooldust.... Saved a guy!"

This smacks of someone who doesn't actually read or listen to Meltzer.

Congrats bud. You've arrived.

Enjoyed 205.

Itami and Tozawa really went for it. Still my fave brand

NXT, still good despite essential 2 squashes and a handicap match with a predictable outcome (in fairness it was decent) but the real entertainment came via Johnny/Candace/Ciampa.
---

Something I just learned from Dave that I did not know

The Cass injury is a work
---

At every house show last weekend he came out fine, wrestled, and then did an injury spot to end the match.
---

What do we make of Revival working an NXT house show this weekend?
---

That they should stay down there.

Their Main Roster tenure has been a shitshow.
