Matt Cross, and I only know this due to Roderick Strong dismissively referring to him as 'the gymnast' like 10 years ago in RoH

To any multilingual goons out there, are any of the other announcers on WWE any good? We see them all the time on PPV and Raw, but it's hard to get a feel for their announcing style when you don't speak the language.

I watched Cena v Styles with German commentary just to see how it is. It seems pretty good, definitely less irrelevant garbage and moronic repetition than Cole/JBL/Saxton (and they actually seem to know what moves are called) but it's also not as involved and excited as, say, JR. It has a slightly dry football commentary kind of vibe to it. Sporting event-like. edit: They did get excited for the big spots, though! a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Jun 29, 2016 |

Is there a reason why Hogan/Flair didn't do strong house show numbers together? Seems like that should've been THE dream match at the time.

A lot of times you'll see posts in gameday or weekly discussion threads like "Man, if you told me X years ago that Jon Moxley would be WWE World Champion..." or "Man, if you told me X years ago that Steen, Styles, Claudio, and Jericho would be main eventing RAW in a #1 Contenders Match for the World Championship...", and that got me thinking: Let's say you can communicate with an average Wrestlehut 2K poster as of 10 years ago, so the summer of '06. Well after the end of the Attitude Era, but before the boom of indie wrestlers making it to WWE. What do you think is the one fact about pro wrestling in the past 10 years that would blow that humble goon's mind the most?

the least foreseeable event is bryan danielson winning both world titles in the main event of the 30th wrestlemania. the most foreseeable event is bryan danielson retiring early due to various brain damages

He would not only go to UFC and become champion after his New Japan run, but would return to WWE and lose his first match to Cena, then get a 4 year godpush. That would've blown my mind knowing how he first exited WWE. bradzilla fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Jun 29, 2016 |

Triple H will replace developmental with his own version of ROH and everyone will like it. In 2011, CM Punk will become the #1 wrestling sensation because of a Brian Pillman promo and giving Cena one of the best matches he has ever had, only to be buried by Kevin Nash.

Forget 10 years, I want to go back 5 during the buzz right after Punk returned to Cult of Personality post MITB 2011 and tell people that in December 2014 Lesnar would be WWE Champ and Punk would sign with UFC.

Related to this, that Cena will win over a lot (but not all) of his detractors at age 38 by changing up his moveset to include a lot of ridiculous indie spots and having a series of fantastic midcard title defenses against indie stars

Super No Vacancy posted:the least foreseeable event is bryan danielson winning both world titles in the main event of the 30th wrestlemania. Yeah probably this. I remember years ago when people on other forums would go on and on about this Brian Danielson guy being the most talented wrestler in the world, but because he was a short, scrawny guy he'd never get to WWE except maybe as a jobber on Sunday Night Heat. Fast-forward a decade, and he's so wildly popular to the WWE audience that his fans destroy the Royal Rumble and basically force the company to rewrite Wrestlemania to avoid it being booed into oblivion.

Now with how much money he was making in UFC I was shocked he'd go back to WWE when UFC was still an option but that was a few years off. I'd personally be most shocked that Pro Wrestling NOAH would be on life support and owned by New Japan Pro Wrestling. In 2006 they were on the tail end of their hot period and seemed to have 3-4 young guys they were building up as the future of the company.

2006 was such a weird time. If you told me Danielson had been signed and became a huge star I'd be surprised. If you told me he became a star the way he did I'd be less surprised. But my mind wouldn't be completely blown just because they'd tried to sign him the year before, and signed Punk. It was a year they seemed to be focusing on developmental and having a half developmental brand. OVW had drawn crowds of 4-5K under Cornette so a developmental brand that drew 10K+ wasn't the craziest thing to hear. There were real signs that hey maybe they are going to change and the usual ones they wouldn't.

Corzaa posted:Sting signing. Eh, we all knew this was just a matter of time. Even in 06 when TNA was putting on OK shows sometimes the writing was pretty on the wall. Sting always knew the WWE wanted him and would easily be able to cut him a great deal for a few appearances and then a legends deal, that was never in question. So as long as his TNA checks weren't bouncing and he didn't want to retire it made sense for him to stay in the brand that booked him like a god 24/7 and let him do whatever dumb poo poo he wanted, when it was coming time for him to retire, that's when the move to WWE would make the most sense because it would be a guaranteed paycheck to go out on. 06 me probably would have been the most shocked about the current state of AAA. AAA was putting on some great shows in 06.
