Gallant, I'd edit that if I were you.
Sounds like something the WWE would do, but it's just a dream.Y2Kev said:

Due to implying a sort of conspiracy that has been going on against WrestleGAF, WrestleGAF has come to terms on the release of UberTag due to a "tip" from one of its members. WrestleGAF would like to wish UberTag the best in his future endeavours.

It has an odd effect on people.
So Wrassle-GAF... I think it's time I get myself an avatar. I previously used Dark Link from that amazing Zelda Fanart... but then the avatar system changed and I didn't bother putting it back up.
I want a Wrestling related avatar - any ideas on what? (and no, not the Cena pic)

Methinks we should save that for an avatar bet. Something like: If CM Punk does not walk out of Summerslam as the champion, the loser has to use that until CM Punk wins the title back.

Those who looked at the picture, you were warned that the picture wasn't PG. Yet, you all clicked the picture. YOU ALL WANTED TO SEE THE PICTURE!

I can't wait for Raw tomorrow to see where this whole CM Punk thing goes and I can't remember the last time I felt like that. Good job, WWE.
Maybe the debut of Nexus, but they screwed that up for me the minute they fired Daniel Bryan.
So WWEShop can release a fucking Santino Cobra Sock Puppet, but not a Woo Woo Woo headband? There is no justice.

I think it would have worked better if they didn't suddenly bring Bryan back as a face. I mean, yeah, he was getting cheers, but he was getting cheers because his character did something despicable.

THey would have failed miserably if they tried to stay with that stuff. Kids these days don't find Rock making gay jokes or Stone Cold saying "asshole" to be edgy. It's a different generation. A lot of the stuff from the Attitude era would be corny now (remember, we are pushing on it being almost 20 years ago) You aren't going to capture the teenage-early 20s market with that stuff. We may hate it, but going all "kiddie" and focusing on selling Cena shirts to 10 year olds might have been the absolute best decision financially for the company.

Yeah but that's not necessarily a result of it being PG, that's a lack of creativity. If you tell this current creative staff they have the go-ahead to go "attitude" it will probably be a trainwreck. Allowing half naked chicks and cursing isn't magically going to make the product better. Might make it worse.
True enough, but it does feel at times that the product is being held back when its so eager to be kid friendly.Ninja Scooter said:
The Nexus was seen as a big deal because they wrecked the shit out of the place, choked the announcer with a tie and made kids cry. Then the angle got partially ruined by cutting Bryan because Mattel got butthurt.

I don't know, I am maybe in the minority but I thought that angle was lame. Had been done before SOOO many times (how many DX/nWo reboots have we had?) only for me it didn't work at all because these were a bunch of green rookies attempting a take over. Wasn't convincing at all.
I thought it worked first and foremost because of how the the crowd reacted, then because they tore a bunch of shit up and choked the announcer and spit on Cena's face, the crowd seemed really taken back by it, basically the crowd sold me on it then the wrestlers themselves, especially Bryan yelling "I'm better than you" at Cena and such.Ninja Scooter said:
There were so many different ways they could've taken the angle. But of course they ruined the whole angle by having Cena single handedly beat the entire stable.
Yeah you're right, it all goes back to SuperCena.Striker said:

That is ridiculous. If Santino starts pulling that out of his singlet during his matches I will scream. To think this all started as a joke by Raw Celebrity Guest Host Jon Lovitz. SMH
I really would buy a Broski headband

The fact that they were rookies was the hook that made it more interesting if you ask me, they would have to go the extra mile to make a big impact and due to being rookies the odds were kind of stacked against the group from the get go therefore making their beat downs on people all the more impressive.Ninja Scooter said:
And the less said about what happened at Summerslam and onwards the better, the most evil actions from Nexus after that was devilry like this.
More evidence that water is a potent weapon in the PG era

At least Danielson was spared that fate. In hindsight perhaps it wasn't so bad he was 'fired'.

I just dont' think they had the ability to pull it off, outside of maybe Barrett they all came across as a bunch of generic jobbers. There was nothing compelling about Otunga or Justin Gabriel.

Worst part of all this PG is lack of hardcore violence and blood.

Bottles of water are very deadly in the WWE. People sell them as if they're chairs. Look at Randy Orton vs. R-Truth on Smackdown two days ago.

Actually when you put it that way, yeah I basically looked at the Nexus as Barrett and his minions, Gabriel did have the somewhat menacing 450 splash at least, Tarver and Sheffield looked like they could deliver a good beat down and Heath Slater....well in the descriptive words of Cole "is another member of Nexus".Ninja Scooter said:

I foresee Bryan either losing the briefcase in a match against someone or using that Wrestlemania thing as a swerve heel turn on someone and cashing in earlier. Unfortunately he needs to be built up better if they are planning him win the title, but when your head announcer does nothing but bury him anytime he is on screen it hurts the progression of that.
BoboBrazil said:
Really hardcore violence? That doesn't make a big difference about the product at all. All you described was done during the attitude era and won't be unique today. Blood in matches isn't really important these days.
Punk was right to say that wrestling needs go down a notch and not find new ways of hardcore violence? Wasn't the ladder match violent enough for you? Chair headshots are banned for reason and should never be brought back.
People blame PG for everything when that is the least of the problems in wrestling today.
