General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

[Tyrath]

Yeah honestly Reigns shouldn't be getting something as big as beating Brock for the WWE title. He's not that big yet.

[Krandor]

Worth noting that with the Rumble being in Philly, Reigns winning would likely be met with a chorus of boos.

And we shall dub that vid, "Fuckallmania"

[Krandor]

Anyone with the network, during the 12 Days of Attitude thing they just ran it included Raw #360 (where Jericho beats HHH for the title), one of the better Raws ever made that wasn't available before.

This was shared on FB by a couple wrestling pages I follow:

tl;dr version: June 12th killed a lot of careers.

[Anoat]

I think Kaitlyn quit rather than being fired.

[Trigun]

On one of Colt's old podcasts I remember PAC (now known as Adrian Neville) said Evan Bourne (now known again as Matt Sydal) told him he was happier setting up chairs (and wrestling) for Dragon Gate shows in Japan than his time in the WWE.

Future endeavored doesn't mean firing all the time. Kaitlyn, Vickie Guerro, and Teddy Long all asked for their releases.

Every year, there's one day that's a huge roster purge. That was the day someone looked at payroll and asked who is JTG?

[Krandor]

Alot of those guys landed on their feet alright. Except for Yoshitatsu, who landed on his head :/

[Nem0]

I have an old Chris Benoit Crippler t-shirt hanging up in my closet that I can no longer wear without looking like a colossal douche :/

Yeah it was a British wrestler. Can't remember the name but he was using Lionheart at times also. Reality is Styles has been using the move for over ten years without incident until this past year really in Japan. Makes me think that wrestlers in Japan aren't capable of taking the move due to their training methods over there as opposed to anything Styles is doing with it.

[Krandor]

It's all on the people taking the bump. It's a common reaction to tuck your head in when taking a bump, but doing that for a Styles Clash is going to lead to an injury.

[AoE]

Vickie Guerro

EXCUSE ME?!

[NynJa]

Probably a lack of prep / communication issues, and the Japanese wrestlers unaware of what the move is? Similar to this incident:

[arus2001]

Man, that one's more on HBK overselling like he's prone to do.
