We had that match a few weeks ago. Rusev just jobbed to him as far as I remember.
All you people complaining about Rusev's schtik need to watch him wrestle. He is legit exciting
I think there was a DQ in there. Rusev is legit good. He actually made people care about Swagger, that should say something

My memory is playing tricks on me. Rakishi definitely trained him well. Most of the guys and gals coming for NXT look really good. It makes me hopeful for the future in WWE now that the era of Cena is coming to an end
Sure I have time to kill, are there any links online to his exciting matches?

Vena is so corny. Never liked him.

He's the one guy in the company that actually looks like he could take down Brock.
They won't go that route but maybe they should.
First Rusev needs that US Title Belt.

Vince must be truly desperate to call in the big guns like that.

Haven't watched in years, but I will always tune in if the Rock is showing up. makes me feel just like you , lol.
I'm a massive mark for The Rock, but no, Austin carried WWF through the 90s. Rock carried WWF when Austin was injured and couldnt carry WWF.
Zeb made it possible. Nobody carries about Swagger without We The People catch phrase. He's just so boring. That's why when you get someone like Rock on that show, it just demoralizes how terrible the roster is in charisma.

rock made a ton of dumb sexist comments and the crowd cheered gross

Watching how much fun hr was having really shows off how humble he is and that he will always remember where he came from.
Also, in case anyone is interested, for....educational purposes....Lana did a topless scene in the TV show Banshee, where she played a hooker having cocaine snorted off her chest.
I think that's one of the coolest things about this. In this day and age of EVERYTHING leaking to the internet days, even weeks before a live event or PPV, the fact that this came out of nowhere goes to show how serious the WWE as taking it. I'm surprised it didn't leak, people knew he was in NYC for the Baywatch remake news but this never on anyone's radar. Especially when you consider that normally people make surprise appearances to hype other events on their lives, dude had nothing going on to get people hyped for.
I don't think so, especially when you think about how seriously the WWE is trying to keep a G/PG appearance and be a "family" show. And notice how he called Rusev an "a-hole" and directly after that the crowd themselves started chanting ASSHOLE.
People can question pretty much anything Triple H does because a lot of his actions can be questionable at times, but there's no denying that for the most part he is doing a great job at signing people and developing some very big potential stars in NXT. He may not be the smartest guy business-wise but he definitely has an eye for recognizing future talent and potential superstar material.
Wrestlemania 32, my friend.

I watch RAW every monday (because i'm a huge wrestling fan) but my Redskins were playing on MNF...Goddamnit. of course this would happen when i was not watching. Rewatched RAW the other day, this and Ambrose segments were the best part of the show.
Also that Derek Jeter chant was awesome and i'm not even a baseball fan

How could Stone Cold come back? Wasn't his injury one that he could never come back from?

Yes. Austin is never coming back. Just saw him on YouTube in a Wendy's canada ad and he's got a spare tire.
Brandon Stroud signed up for a GAF account?
I've always thought he's a member of wrasslegaf.

Just saw the video. Was kinda uncomfortable with the misogyny. Is Rock supposed to be a heel or a face?
He is. He goes by "strobogo"

I was in the middle of a game of Smash. I put down the damn thing so fast when I heard his music kick in.

I think he's supposed to be dated, because I felt the same as you. Like a guy from a different generation returning to remind us he's out of touch and lost a step.
Kano on the Phone

Gross. No thanks.
Same. This along with watching the Smackdown 15th Anniversary clip show on the Network where I was reminded that ten years ago a tag team were heels only because they were gay reminds you how fucking behind the times wrestling tends to be.
FallingEdge

yeah, the crowd didn't seem to care at all

Could we say that about pro wrestling in general? That it is a cultural relic from a different generation, steeped with passive (but inherent) misogyny, racism, and poor taste that feels somewhat out of sync with today's sensibilities?

You can only pull that trick so many times, at this point even Austin would last one megapop and that's it.
Liu Kang Baking A Pie

Yeah, for sure. There's always the Divas division, with the name and how they really doll themselves up to fight (who fucking does that). I get bored of them trying to talk the division up like they're about strong women, but I can't remember a time a woman in the WWE has ever spoken up for women in general in any way other than generically copying sports with Pink October.
I'll never forget Triple H telling Booker T "people like you don't win these championships," and then Triple H fucking beat him at Wrestlemania. It was the most obvious "our first black champion ever overcomes racism with all the odds against him" storyline, and then Triple H won.
