Wrestling Thread April-September 2018 RIP

[Peep Game]

I had a good time at SmackDown tonight.

• The crowd is firmly behind Becky. Creative had her trash the fans and it just didn't work. Charlotte is clearly the heel here. She got booed out of the building.
  • Why are heels helping to break things up? Shouldn't that result in mini brawls especially with Naomi just losing to the IIconics?
• It was a sold out event. The only empty seats were those around the cameras.
• Liked the way they wrote Rowan off of the show while he addresses his injury.
  • The Bludgeon Brothers are massive in person. Their gimmick works when they're wrecking shop.

The WWE is sorry as **** for trying to go this route. There’s no reason at all to boo Becky in this feud

If we are talking about the WWF Title, I would say once the WCW title got thrown into the mix. So that would be around 2001. Once that unification happened with Jericho, I felt like the prestigue of the title had dropped tremendously.

So I would say 2001 is when the initial drop off occurred.

wait you think unifying with big gold made it weaker? big gold is THEE belt imo.....guess the difference is i don't care which fictional character they put the belt around.....i'm already suspending my disbelief;. so i might not like their choice for champion, but the title is still the title....just like they want me to be focused on that red belt; it's not my number one title; but i don't say it lost some luster; because it's the pinnacle of sports entertainment

Yea I disagree with the idea of, "It is wrestling, the fictional champ doesn't matter."

So fundementally, we don't even agree there so of course we won't agree with the level of prestige the title has

The Big Gold was THE BELT OUTSIDE of the WWF Realm

Show me where I said it was prestigious back then?

I generally feel the introduction of another title, whether "organic" or through unification, indirectly lowers the value of said title(s)

Miz beating Bryan then facing Styles for the title? Unless they do face vs face with Bryan

you can disagree; but it's fictional so how does one character add credibility in a fictious realm

The Big Gold was THE BELT OUTSIDE of the WWF Realm

right they unified their belt, with the most iconic belt; don't understand the logic that makes it weaker

Nah he trash

Get the **** on up back to the mcu thread

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Half truth.

@PLVN you remember the actual story, Meltzer mentioned it months ago

I believe he was told he was supposed to go on a tour with the next roster but he didn't want to go.​

that logic is pretty flawed though if you take a universal outlook that unification is a negative.....i would say if you're belt is the weaker of the two titles and you unify with the stronger title it adds prestige......now if big gold added winged eagle then the title is lessened imo

 

[Blue Mamba]

I forgot Gran Metalik was on the roster

feels like KO been lost in the shuffle with Sami gone. probably had plans of them winning tag titles or going into another program with one another

At me tell you man, that run up to Infiniry War that whole damn thread was a zoo

The whole feud with Strowman was a waste of time. Probably just to get a laugh out of Vince from KO getting ragdolled all the time
