Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 460: Crowned Fools

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think it would maybe be okay if he didn't promptly kick out at 1. Like you're going to do this melodramatic spasm acting like your body's borked and then when the guy pins you you're instantly barely hurt? It basically stops being selling at that point because it's so obviously telling you this guy is just faking it
---

Yeah it was good until the kickout
---

The best oversell is RVD somehow jumping while upside down after a piledriver.
---

Is the best heel in wrestling Triple H after the latest BTE?

MMC1: We will donate money to a charity of your choice so you can improve the world!

MMC2: We're giving you an all expense paid vacation!

This is a contrast.

You were already going on a vacation for Total Divas and we're working it into storyline!

Lopen posted...

Yeah. Good on paper poor execution I think. Like if he just kinda slumped a bit (but much faster than he did in that one) after the flip attempt and just left it at that without the theatrics I think it would've been excellent.

I'm uncomfortable with how much I've been agreeing with Lopen recently.
---

so this raw is supposed to the first of the new era of shorter raws

lets see if they actually do it
---

I want to see Strowman go and destroy WWE headquarters now, if what I read in the recap so far is correct.
---

Dean Ambrose burning his Shield vest seems kinda pointless since he hated wearing it anyway.
---

I have this absurd dream where they let Drew be an elite level heel who doesn't need to resort to cheap tactics to win. He just beats people clean.

Someone who was BORN with that killer instinct

Maybe you dont be a fucking moron and say that about someone whos father was a legit fucking murderer!!!!

Man, who busted up Becky Lynch there. That cannot have been planned even if it did look cool.

Alexa or Nia.

Granted yes. I fucking hate them both.... but this is why.

It was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT one of those 2.

She only fucked with 2 people on Raw before bleeding.

Alexa on the ramp, Nia in the ring.
---

Looked like Fox and Nia both nailed her kinda hard
---

Alexa Bliss, the person who is not allowed to have any contact with people right now, is clearly the culprit.

Certainly not Nia Jax who has a reputation of injuring almost everyone she has extended time in the ring with.

Logic has no place when it comes to blind hatred!

Either way, Becky is amazing and easily the best thing in the women's division right now.

the optics of Becky whipping Ronda's ass with blood all over her is borderline Stone Cold WM13 level. Fucking awesome.

She's no Becky.

She's right up there too tbh

Yup. I saw that shot and I was like.... THATS the picture of her career. That can be an iconic shot.

Also Chad Gable is the best:

Also I loved Becky way before everyone else so y'all just late to the bandwagon.

This is disappointing, yeah. They have so much momentum with Becky, and they could make her into a megastar with a win over Rousey. Unfortunately they won't do that, even if it's like Strowman/Lesnar where pre-match interference causes the match to go one way. It'll be a heavily scripted Rousey match where she wins clean at the end like always.

This is false! I've been supporting Becky since NXT shortly before her main roster debut. Granted, it was Celtic Invasion that really made me take notice, but it still holds!

It's a lot easier to get my wife interested in stuff when she has women to follow, and she's a Becky fanatic.

I loved Becky back when you were having wet dreams about Sasha Banks don't play
---

I don't really have any problem with Lynch losing to Rousey just cause the Smackdown women's division is the fucking dregs right now.

Like if she knocks off Rousey, who's the next credible challenger?
---

I think watching the career paths of the four horsewomen of NXT, you can see how much WWE values people who can talk. Charlotte's not top tier or anything, but she's way better than Sasha and Bayley. If you really want to do something you need to learn to talk, it's about more than spotfests (and in Sasha's case, landing on your face).

The only woman on the roster (unless you count Stephanie, which I don't) that's on the same level as Becky is Alexa, and the amount of success she's had is obvious.

I'd like to say Asuka, but I don't think she's at that level anymore. I don't really think she needs a credible challenger right now though. Let her roll over would be challengers for a while until someone gets built up, making her eventual loss even bigger.

I could also ask the same thing about Rousey. Who is the next credible challenger to her on Raw? There's really nobody over there right now. Yeah, Nia is next up, but she hasn't been rebuilt as a monster yet.

In the end, we know Rousey will win because she has to remain undefeated when she goes against Charlotte at Wrestlemania, so they have the "Charlotte broke Asuka's streak can she break Ronda's" storyline on top of everything else.
---

The problem is that Asuka isn't far removed from getting clowned by fucking Carmella. Nia Jax is far more credible than her right now. And there's no real "plucky underdog" type to sell a short feud with Lynch. Like, would anyone care about her vs. Naomi? Or Lana? Or newly babyface Carmella? It's almost insulting to look at the face challengers beyond Charlotte and Asuka.
---

Nikki Cross is probably the third most credible contender in that division entirely due to not being ruined yet

Can anyone who watched Raw confirm something for me? I just read a second recap, and it mentioned the crowd giving a "one more time" chant when Becky was hitting Rousey with a chair, and that she got the biggest reaction of the entire show.

I never would have thought that Becky would be getting cheered over Ronda, but if she is that's huge.

Holy shit. They have a legitimate new megastar, because they gave someone a chance. Is there anybody on the entire roster that's hotter than Lynch right now?

What are the odds she'll be back to being just another wrestler on the roster in a year? I say like 75%.
---

I think theres a good way for Ronda to win while still keeping Becky strong

Just take the bloody Austin comparisons one step further and have her pass out in the armbar instead of tap
---

Passing out in an arm bar would be so lame though because who passes out from arm pain, especially when it would snap / dislocate long before the pass out from pain point.

Yes I know it's wrestling but that just isn't the right move for it.

absolutely this, and i heard plenty of ranting on good podcasts about someone doing exactly this recently.

Bust her open again so she passes out from blood loss, I dont care

She can do a different submission too, just for that match
