At this rate if they turned Cesaro face again and put him in a tag team he would get the American Males music and they'd be managed by Judy Bagwell.

If they paired him with somebody interesting, gave them the tag titles, and let them hold them for like a year it would do a ton towards building the tag titles credibility, keep him away from the singles scene letting them build other people up, and result in a ton of great matches.

So, how does the Brock/Heyman alliance not end with Heyman slapping Brock and taking an F-5? Is there really any other possible outcome?

It's kind of amazing to me that Vince, the biggest purveyor of fake fighting in history, has zero tolerance for the "fast guy beats strong guy by being faster and smarter than him," trope. It's been a staple of fake fighting in literally every medium in which it exists from animation to video games. Has the man never seen a Kung-Fu movie in his life? Also lets all remember that a few years after Rey's title reign of losing to big guys because it wasn't believable that he could defeat them Vince arranged for Floyd Mayweather to beat Big Show as Wrestlemania.

Have we ever had a thread for terrible backyard wrestling? We're sort of in a second golden age of it right now so it seems like I could put together a thread if there was interest.

There have been a few but with Hardcore Juvi trying to remove his videos from youtube and the ESW documentary never being posted in full we need a new one. I need new back yard heroes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kstrtjFu-E4 That will forever be my favorite Back Yard Wrestling video.

fatherdog posted:This would actually be an incredible loving idea, and then when Cesaro had his Michaels/Janetty moment it would make him a megaheel with the kids and megaface with the smarks, which they could parlay any way they wanted it. Cesaro would throw Cena through a brick wall (and onto some free-standing aluminum pipes)

What would be the logical top candidates for Randy Orton's best match? He's a talented guy who's hung around the upper card of WWE for years, but I'm having difficulty thinking of any truly great MOTY caliber matches he's had. I admittedly missed most of his career from mid 2006 - early 2010 though, so I might be missing something.

I can't help but be bored out of my loving mind every single time Orton is on screen, regardless of what he's doing. The last thing I enjoyed was the RNN updates and that was over ten years ago.

Yeah, it's not like I'm saying the guy blows or anything. He's good at having fun TV matches like the one from a few months ago against Cesaro, but unlike Cena I can't think of anything he's done that's blown me away to the extent that I could rate it one of the best matches of the year.

I was there for the Benoit match so I'm biased towards that but I love those Christian matches too. I feel like there should be more of them though.

Orton is great. On the Jericho podcast he and Edge said that Orton was so good that he probably doesn't even know it. He made Reigns look fantastic by controlling every aspect of that match. He's great at controlling the flow and getting the crowd to build. The problem in his match with Reigns is that Reigns isn't very good at selling. Hell, Rusev is STILL selling that ankle and Reigns takes a match worth of damage and shrugs it off the moment he needs to stop. I guess the thing is that Orton isn't a show stopper. He doesn't make the big moves, but he makes smaller, impactful, ones.

He busts out some incredible RKOs sometimes I think the RKO is one of the most adaptable moves, seeing as he can do it just about anywhere. Hell he can catch a guy in mid-air and do it. But he isn't a Cena with big crowd pleasing moves or even Reigns with his 5 moves. He's a 'wrestler' who doubles as a superstar.

Randy Orton owns pretty hard and I mark for the RKO. He is also a pretty good wrestler.
