Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 418: McGregor vs Mayweather II in a Punjabi Prison

(+) Yeah! (+)

---

I'm still hoping for a Fingerpoke of Doom situation in tonight's fight tbh. The heat would be legendary.
---

But the bigger question would be, could Mayweather or McGregor beat the Great Khali?
---

Every time one of these super fights in boxing happens, I sit down to watch the undercard and realize how boring I find boxing to be.
---

I used to watch it religiously, but lolcable. ESPN2 had shows, but I could never get stuff like Fox Sports or any other station that carried it.
---

Here's my "hot take" on the fight. It's absolutely embarrassing that so many people have been suckered in by the hype behind this shit show. This fight is right up there with Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as a trifecta of idiocy that has destroyed my faith in humanity.

I mean

"Superfight"

In name only this time

I like these opening lines of the preview:

What some have been calling ‘The Fight of the Century’ has arrived. Tonight Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0 26 KOs) will take on Conor McGregor; who has never been in a pro-boxing match in his life.

---

This is Ali vs. Inoki Part 3, (Part 2 is Akebono vs. Sapp), it's a superfight in the Freakshow arena.
---

A classic, by the book rope-a-dope. Mayweather played him like a damn fiddle!
---

If the reports on what Sexy Star did in the Triplemania match are true, then she is an awful person.

She's been causing enough problems as is!

After being booked over Mil Muertes to win the LU title, nothing would surprise me about Sexy Star, and no amount of No Mas matches could help. I thought she retired to practice boxing or MMA. What did she do now?

You must be a ton of fun at parties.

Fight was fun as fuck, suck it nerd.

I saw the video of the finish, and it seems... Dubious.

Basically, she dislocated and hyperextended Rosemary's arm with her arm bar submission. Rosemary tapped out and was screaming in pain, which I think was not a sell at that point, and Sexy kept the submission locked on for at least five more seconds after the bell and continued yanking on it.

Apparently she got into it with someone else backstage (Lady Shani) and Vampiro had to drag Sexy to Rosemary to apologize.

I mean, it looks pretty bad. I don't know if it's on purpose or because Sexy Star is just an awful and unsafe worker.

The good part is that Rosemary will only be out a few weeks, thankfully.
---

You have to know you're a POS when Vampiro is telling you to apologize to someone.

A rope-a-dope is when you cover up and aren't absorbing damage. McGregor landed several shots flush, far more than I ever would have expected. Part of me is shocked that the uppercut didn't put Floyd down. That punch did more damage than what several world class boxers have managed.

God, I tried to defend Sexy Star for so long but even I have to give up now.

Also EC3's Twitter account always reads as There Alec to me.

Deserves to be fucking blacklisted from the Industry along with Teddy Hart.

I know this isn't a politics topic, but here's a Tweet worth reading:

In a lot of ways this is worse than the act/yoshiko shoot fight.

Okay. I think I'd kick Enzo off the bus too.

My brain melted trying to read that. Anyone have any idea what he was blabbing about?

The Bus if he was lucky. A Small ledge for that nonsense!

Nah. This would be more appropriate.

He's shit-talking Conor for never facing a real heavyweight like Big Show, as both he and Floyd have done. While flaunting his seats he paid $10,000 for.

Sheesh, and I felt bad paying $12 for junk food at a convenience store yesterday...
---

Is it short sighted to assume Enzo is just living the gimmick? Referencing fake fights as real seems like it.
---

It's not gonna be long before he's eating pins from Ellsworth.

You know how they say the best gimmicks are yourself turned up to 11?

I think Enzo's on-air gimmick is himself turned DOWN to 11.

Anybody watch any of the Mae Young Classic yet? Was anything good? None of the first round matches jumped off the page to me and I'm hearing commentary is horrendous, but I'm not quite as familiar with all of the competitors as I was with the CWC so I figure there may be some surprises in there.
---

*hears words Mae Young Classic*

*Ducks spoilers, shoves fingers in ear going lalalala*
---

I already know the finalists, cause I'm dumb...and I don't have the Network.

Go stupid stupid me
---

I have seen all of the released episodes so far. I am into it. On each of the four episodes there was at least one worthwhile match, but none of them have been actively bad that I can point out (though some were short, probably to cover for what would've made it bad).
---

THE shaved BIG SHOW?
---

And Enzo's wrestling. Good night.
---

This is what Reigns needed
---

Well, I turned to RAW after Preacher was over to see Cena completely bury Roman for terrible mic skills and forgetting his promo. But then Roman actually turned it up a bit. Like, he's acting like a total heel now though and dumping on Cena for being a part timer and saying he works every day, and how he buries young talent and it's like... Miz tried this before, but at least Roman's delivery was solid for a change.
---

I'd like to hear Kurt Angle's opinion on this debate
---

Well, Cena has totally demolished Roman now, and he's not even done. Eesh. Why couldn't Roman be like this against someone who won't totally destroy him on the mic?
---

the good brothers are here to get rid of these NERDZ
---

I came in about halfway through that segment and enjoyed what I saw.

Then I turned it back off after they made the tag match.
---

Guys, at No Mercy, they're going to be halfway through the match and then suddenly realize that they could be burying other people instead of each other

And then they'll form a team managed by Triple H and literally bury everybody
---

I gotta admit, Brock vs. Braun and Cena vs Reigns is quite the hook for a B-level PPV
---

https://twitter.com/davidbix/status/902352957672448000

Oh shit Cena went there?

That's good stuff
---

Yeah.

He buried Roman's promo skills at least three times too. It was just like... why do you put Roman's best promo against John Cena?
---

Well if he's supposed to replace Cena, shouldn't he be put to the test?

So meta

Say what you want about Russo-style worked shoots, but when WWE decides to jump in that pool it seems to work
---

Roman held his own on his part just fine. Cena was just brutal and went for the jugular right after.
---

Roman had a shot and something decent to back it up.

Cena killed it.

Cena buried Roman.

Cena is a smark like us.

We are Cena.

We can't see we.
