It's the September Wrasslin thread (a few days early because I'm going to be out for the weekend)

Are you ready?

I DON'T THINK YOU HEAR ME....

I SAID ARE YOU READY?

Last month we were building to a battle of epic proportions. John Cena vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship....what happened?

What do you think of that Mr. H's?

Oh....

and then this happened...

Now we are at the start of a new era. The McMahon Helmsley Era Part 2. This time Triple H is leading the charge backed by Vince McMahon and their corporate stooge champ is Randy Orton. How far is this new corporation ready to go? The Shield are their corporate security team and they have put anyone who goes against them in 3 vs 1 handicap matches. They have also threatened careers if anyone interferes with anything involving Bryan. It's some entertaining TV....Raw is giving NXT a run for it's money finally. Can WWE keep it up? You know what I think?

Elsewhere in wrasslin....

Christian blue himself...

Not really...but wouldn't that be cool? Smackdown is actually Raw part 2 again, so watch it.

Over on NXT, this happened...

and it is said to be the match of the year....even after Bryan vs Cena. I tend to agree but you should check it out for yourself on Hulu.

TNA's Bound For Glory series is wrapping up and will end with the free PPV No Surrender on September 12th....

Hopefully September can keep the Power of June rolling. The Raw in Toronto on the 9th will be my first time at a TV taping so I hope its good.

We need to get a GAF meetup before Raw planned out. I know Entropia and krae_man are going. Do either of you have a suggestion for a place to go?

 

[Nocturnowl]

I give this thread a B plus.

 

[Kaladin]

I hope Toronto makes for a hot smark crowd with how they've been burned for so long on a live WWE show. (but not so bad that they get blacklisted again)

[Kaladin]

I didn't mention it in the OP because it's already long enough, but buy Mr. H's blu-ray....

The doc has rare Undertaker interviews.

Gimmick change?

 

[Penguin]

YES!

Finally made it back to the Wall of Shame!

Also what time does NXT typically go up?

 

[Man God]

So youtube has been acting funny at my house for the last hour.

Just recently it wouldn't let me play any of the H cubed themes I've been thinking about bombing the thread with.

It does like one person's themes though.

[bean breath]

Gimmick change?

In an OP devoid of any Lucha Libre wrestling promotions or Latino wrestlers, I felt that enough was enough and it was time for a change.

Besides ADR said that now the Latino fans have a hero they can cheer for. Although Ricardo Rodriguez seems to think that RVD is a better fit to represent his community, su comunidad.

Mr. H's wouldn't know a good lucha wrestler if it smacked him across the face....I mean, just look at Sin Cara.

Well its getting close because they put up two clips for this weeks episode.

 

[strobogo]

How can I go back to WCW after a few hours of powerbombing aliens and a toilet as Bruce Campbell voiced by Nolan North playing Nolan North while dressed as Roddy Piper?

Sounds like an angle WCW would have ran.

 

[jred2k]

Did his head grow or his face shrink? He looks even worse in that shoot interview clip someone posted yesterday.

[strobogo]

Gaming side is crazy and weird and it is so strange that people have completely different posting styles in the games threads than OT stuff.

 

[Data West]

They don't even like Bo on Gaming Side. Heathens.

IF you're looking for feedback it can't have anything to do with Christian.

Why do WWE blacklist Canadian crowds? They're rowdy as fuck. At least they don't sit on their hands like some places

Because they were the first crowds to cheer whatever the fuck they wanted and it frightened Vince.

We should definitely organize something. However, I may not be able to get to town until 6pm which would mean I need to go right to getting in line to go in.

We'll see. TO Wrasslegaf should definitely meetup if possible.

 

[Vox-Pop]

AJ Lee is the Kendrick Lamar of wrestling.

This one is clearly fake. When has Randy ever had pants on?
