Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

To reinforce this: part of why I hate the Jinder push is that it's both Race baiting, asking for bigotry, and works only if they think the Indian fans are drat idiots.

It takes only the tiniest of intelligence to realise that Jinder is an rear end in a top hat who doesn't deserve the title. Plus the simplest of wikipedia search to find out he's Canadian.


Any female opinions confirm/deny: Jinder is an ugly man with a large nose. Then again, large nose didn't stop HHH from being a sex symbol to a lot of ladies.

What's this "deserve" business?

Because he won only via the help of 2 other people, Indians should hate the guy just the same.

Team Canada Bret Hart had flunkies that helped him, and he talked about how America is a deeply flawed nation, but he could be respected due to his actual skill and years of hard work. At least I think that's how it went, feel free to correct me on that, but this doesn't feel like a heel in America, face everywhere else kind of situation.

Wait, what did Jinder do that was so assholish, other than imitate Rewarded With A Wrestlemania 31 Main Event Win Seth Rollins by hitting his opponent really hard in head?

He was really stiff with main eventers for no reason? Concussed Finn, I'm amazed he didn't concuss Roman on a dropkick he gave him like 2 weeks before that. The actual guy is probably nice enough, I think most people just think he not deserve the push based on his ability, and the reasons why he is getting it anyway are awful/terrifying.

That VICE article is spot-on

Except for saying that the audience eat it up, while noting the declining ratings.

Don't want to hinder the Jinder talk, but I guess they're telegraphing Balor/Lesnar for GREAT BALLS OF FIRE? I'm not sure I want to see that match yet. Maybe I'm a stupid idiot though.

They sure are. A large part of me doesn't want to see the match as much because they had Finn lose twice in the last 3 weeks because they're insane.

So the storyline for Raw's No.1 Contender is basically nothing more than "smash these 5 guys together in random matches with basically no storyline or deeper meaning"

Including, as Bryan and Vinny pointed out, they did the initial segment backwards by having Kurt make the match then they said they deserved the shot, as opposed to the other way around.

Your theory has actually been tested by Liger

For those wondering, Liger tries to pin 4 NJPW stars after a night out, at 5am after sneaking into their rooms. If his enemy is drunkenly asleep, can he pin: Tanahashi, Nakanishi, Togi Makabe, or Honma?

And that's what I'm saying. I don't know in what world an entire man (190 lbs or 300 lbs doesn't matter) stomping his feet down full force directly on your chest, where your heart lives, doesn't look like it hurts to you.

It makes sense, but Finn's style often looks worse. The style where you buckle your legs and fall forwards looks better than his, where he looks like he slips on his opponent.

Roman is never going to be a credible underdog without losing a lot of matches clean. which would be stupid because he,s the face of the company

you'd think Vince and wwe would be able to do the math and stop booking him as an underdog but welp

Do you forget the years of Cena beating the odds? He couldn't possibly win in ~this~ situation!

Roman beating Finn last week 'because he needed a win' makes sense in that context. I'm actually getting close to my tether of bad booking :(

They should kill 2 birds with one stone and do the high profile LGBT homosexual plotline they said they would do.

Lol of course a goon would be mad about a shirt being a color other than black.

It's a bad decision for his first shirt. Do you actually think white with black text works better for the character and design, or do you just like being annoyed?

To properly say both, you're supposed to briefly make the mouth movement for the u, but not the sound.

Also don't go by what English commentators say if that's what you're listening to. If there's a difference in how the wrestlers actually say it, it might be because Asuka has a relatively pronounced Osaka accent.

Every drat time a Yakuza kick is used.

Also Darren Young is clearly not a marketable force enough to be pushed. At least that jacked up bland dude won't be main champion. Did they even move him to Smackdown?

Are you ready for a train wreck?

Oh and in terms of injuries, yeah the style is so physical now. Ever hear people talking about how they used to do nothing?

Some stiff punches, way more bleeding, but less high flying and a lot more stalling. And squash matches! It's a lot physically easier to squash some loser than have a competitive match.
