Re: Wrestling related pet peeves of yours...

- Beat The Clock matches. There's a fundamental flaw to the entire concept, because after the time to beat is set in the initial match there is no suspense of sense of jeopardy until the final thirty seconds of the following two matches. This is even more absurd when the initial time is, say, six mi...

Re: The TNA Thread

So with this being the pro wrestling equivalent of being a passenger on the Titanic, who here ever thought the TNA Hall of Fame was a splendid idea? At the time they announced it, the idea of a TNA HoF was dumb - not for any LOLTNA reason, but the simple reason that a company should not be opening ...

Re: The NXT Thread

The red circle offset on the roundness of the G's and O's looks terrible. The first one looked cool. And that design is so commonly used everywhere (almost to the point of being a generic design) I don't think too many would have found it offensive. It's not like the swastika or something. Koreans ...

Re: Wrestling related pet peeves of yours...

Kicking out of a pin can take quite a bit of energy away. Ask any amateur wrestler. Just because X does Y in another sport doesn't mean that applies to pro wrestling. For example, take what Robareid said about how a hammerlock could potentially win a match in MMA, yet in wrestling it's just a rest ...

Re: Breaking News: ROH on Destination America

The amount of TNA spergs commenting on that vid is almost bizzare. i'm trying to be nice towards the TNA fanbase, I've got no beef with them. But they sure are making it hard to take them seriously. I've said for years that the main reason that TNA gets such a hard time is because of their fanboys ...

Re: Wrestling related pet peeves of yours...

Wrestlers kicking out at two far too early. If a wrestler wants to build suspense with a dramatic nearfall, they should kick out as the ref's hand comes down for the third time - but all too often they're kicking out before the ref's even lifted their hand off the match from counting two. Every pin ...

Re: Wrestling related pet peeves of yours...

WWE's policy of only allowing one pinfall to be broken per tag match - which looks especially ridiculous during a Survivor Series match, as you see four guys stood on the apron watching one of their teammates getting pinned right in front of them. How heel champions will tap the second their opponen...

Re: Breaking News: ROH on Destination America

Why TNA didnt get some sort of exclusivity deal sums them up There's no two ways about it, this makes TNA and/or UTA look inept - because the only way this would've happened is either they signed the first contract that was offered to them without taking time to read the fine print, or they assumed...

Re: The NXT Thread

Yeah I think it is jumping to conclusions a little bit to say all these former indy guys are getting hurt because their so banged up before they get to WWE. This is just one example but Mojo Rawley didn't see one indy match and he'd been out with an injury for a heck of a long time. It's a theory t...

Re: The WWE Thread

This is random but interesting I thought: an article on Bleacher Report argued that WWE should hire less seasoned independent wrestlers because their bodies have more wear and tear and are thus more injury prone than WWE farm system guys, what do you guys think of this?
