Ziggler is about the only one today with any ring psychology whatsoever.
He just needs to sort out his character. In the ring he's near perfection.

Dya think? I think he's quite a fun wrestler, but it is all SPOTZ and ATHLETICISM to my eyes. Like, his selling is absolutely piss poor - feels like watching a cartoon at times. Different strokes for different folks perhaps.Originally Posted by Browning

I think his selling is the best in the business. Sometimes he crosses the line and it looks a bit cartoonish, I'll give you that, but it's not all that often, most of the time he's spot on. Even when he does that, it's nothing that the likes of The Rock didn't do (watch him sell any Stunner). It's nice to see someone actually selling in this day and age.
Is he still selling a leg injury to put twats over?
WCPW have signed Kurt Angle for a show in October. Fucking hell.
Jesus. He's no Martin Kirby but Sandow, Rhodes, and now Angle is pretty impressive.
They're in a pokey warehouse in Newcastle right now, but I'd be very interested to see the crowd they could pull in a bigger venue. They can clearly pull in the talent already.
This was incredible. It was actual trolling.
I do agree but there must be a huge difference in getting one off appearances and actually signing people to a roster or does that only really happen in the bigger promotions? Still, having started (apart from a massive ready made platform) with nothing a few weeks ago they appear to be doing alright, I'm enjoying it at least.
I suspect it might be the bigger promotions that can commit to that. There's a shit one in Middlesbrough that manages to grab TNA talent for the odd night.
God the talent in the battle royal on SDeven worse the women's division - the reaction when Carmella came out, even the Shining Stars had a better reaction.
There shouldn't be a draft for the women, they should bring in a women's tag-title and have it competed on SD only and the women's title on RAW only.
Fucking hell.
He's going to eat his feet?
Just watching Raw and my they really are hammering Roman. Heels and faces teaming up against him, naughty boy.
Yep. When he said "I'm going to...." or whatever it was, I don't think I'd have guessed the next 3 words with 1000 guesses.
What is this opening to Raw
I hated it, loved it then hated it again. Enzo is brilliant but starting Raw with 20 minutes of talking to set up a meh mixed-tag, via a POOP joke, isn't ideal.What is this opening to Raw
I hate the new theme tune by the way...
Any ICW fans in Scotland, I'm hosting the stand up shows of Billy Kirkwood and The Wee Man tomorrow. Would love to meet up with TTHers for a pint.

Watching some Raws from 2000 seeing as they've just added them to the Network. I don't understand why HHH books Blackman against Angle and Stephanie is SEETHING. Is this part of/building up to the "love triangle" thing they did?
And British Bulldog has just interfered for Angle to win. I love dropping back to old episodes of Raw/Smackdown.
Shelton to WWE is off because he's injured.
Ryback has been released
Dana White to sign him up for a match against Punk.
WCPW to announce him within the week.
That was my first thought.
Imagine the Greggs he'll put away.
Kevin Owens on commentary was heel Lawler levels of good.
Ambrose took a while to warm up on Stone Cold Podcast. Pretty sure he's full of shit as well, or is at least extremely cagey as to what he will and won't talk about and covers for it rather than just refusing to answer.
I did like that he said what a load of shit his 'Mania match against Lesnar was though and stopped only just short of calling Baroque a cunt.
Fucking hell. WCPW got Jim fucking Ross. It's going to be so good.
Meanwhile, Billy Corgan is now President of TNA. First order of business was to sign Sandow.
I love those bitter TNA welcome promos. That one with the actual Triple Haitch impression was the best.
Onto the '09 Rumble on the Network and I appear to be watching a decent Jack Swagger match, which I didn't know was a thing.
I've been watching old wrasslin' videos this morning and eventually ended up on the clip of Bob Holly beating the shit out that twat on a Tough Enough. Holly comes across as a proper psycho and it's hilarious.
Cracking on through 2009. Has anybody else ever had the same finisher, like Christian did, but have it go through three names? Unprettier was a much better name than the Killswitch or Impaler as well.
I know the WWE's feud-booking strategy these days is mostly "book these two guys to wrestle each other eight times a week until everybody wishes they were dead" but to have what felt like a 20-odd minute match between Reigns and Rusev a week before Summerslam is an odd choice. Though if they're having Rusev go over (which I assume they are given Reigns won here and assuming they'll have him back in the main event soon enough) then I suppose this throws Reigns a bone and lets him beat somebody before he takes another defeat on Sunday.
'Finn Balor? Pfft. He's... Mate, he's just a knobhead from the in... SHITTING HELL HE'S PAINTED HIS FACE WE'RE FUCKED LADS!'
Also, I reckon Randy Orton will beat Baroque Les-nar with that wanker kick he used to do.
I didn't watch Raw this week but saw the segment between Brock and Heath Slater. Got to say I thought it was brilliant. I find Slater really entertaining on the mic and Brock dropping swear words and a massive BEATDOWN made it a really good couple of minutes of tv.
I think they'll have him win as well. I think I want him to but I don't know that I actually care, or at least I don't care enough about this shit face character and Viperville nonsense. I think I just want Lesnar to be an unstoppable monster. So I suppose if Orton is going to STEAL a win I hope he fucks off.
And yeah, I'm actually quite enjoying the Slater stuff too. A pity it's going to end in him being given a contract and then only seen again to be squashed.
Proper lol'd at that. Reminds me of a post you made on the old board about Triple H shitting his pants because a fat bloke took off a collared shirt to reveal a white one.
I liked his little mythology promo as well, asking Seth Rollin[g]s whether he knows about some Irish giant and Celtic Boys Club. Probably not, mate; but he beat Sting.
Was it a coffin he was sitting on as well? Whole thing's a bit silly.
I'm hoping that the DEMON KING having got the upperhand with his brutal overhead kicks on Rollins a couple of times now means that Rollins is going to do him on Sunday.
Rollins has to win on Sunday. It's way too soon for Balor.
Also, fuck Orton. He's been boring for a decade. Hope Brock destroys him.
I've noticed they have added more old RAWs on the network.
When are they going to add 2008-2011 for fuck sake?
Heath Slater has been the best thing about the last few weeks. I hope it ends with him winning a contract against a somewhat legitimate competitor and he gets a run at the US title or something.
If that's true, this really is the low point of the industry.
If any of you haven't seen it, I highly recommend the Stone Cold podcast with Dean Ambrose.
One of the very best bits of car crash TV I've had the pleasure of watching. Some of the death stares that Austin was giving him while Ambrose basically shrugged his shoulders at everything was priceless. I wouldn't have been surprised to see Austin Lou Thesz press him through the table and beat the shit out of him.
If you feel like switching off half way through, don't. The last 5 minutes are brilliant.
I'm quite annoyed they brought the 'DEMON KING' out on Monday - it's supposed to be a thing that takes him to 'another level', but instead it's become simply a costume for him to prance about it.
If you're going to do that, sit on it for much longer. I mean, he's just come up from NXT. You hold that shit back til the smarks from NXT burst when he finally does switch. It's the kind of thing you do to retire The Undertaker.
Del Rio just got suspended for violating the wellness policy
I'd have saved it for 'Mania and I'd have let him do new makeup and stuff, not the one from NXT.
