Professional Wrestling

It depends on the wrestler. Most put their hands up or do back chairshots but guys like the Briscoes refuse to do it. At the last iPPV, Nigel (who's doing color commentary now) was screaming at them to put their hands up and sounded pissed when the unprotected chairshots kept on coming.

Roman Reigns was voted the #1 wrestler of 2016 in the PWI 500?

AHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

What an absolute joke that list has become. My respect for PWI is now completely dead and gone.

I stopped taking PWI seriously a long time ago. They're a bunch of WWE sheep. After all, didn't they give Rookie of the Year award prizes to Erik Watts and David Otunga?

They're a bunch of WWE sheep.

Agree 100%, as evidenced by the fact that not one TNA guy is in the their top ten this year. Lashley dominated for six months and held ALL THREE singles titles at one point, and he's barely in the top 25.

Kenny Omega took over the Bullet Club, won the IWGP Intercontinental title and was the first Western wrestler to win the G-1 Climax, and you put Chris fuckin' Jericho higher than him? What the fuck did Jericho do this year, besides lick Owens' balls and go over AJ in some bullshit WM match? Sheamus held the WWE title for three weeks and he's number 17??

And fucking John Cena. What did that guy do this year to earn the number 10 spot? He took time off twice for surgery and movies and lost every high-profile PPV match he wrestled when he was around. And he's one of the top 10?

An absolute fucking joke, lol. It's like the MTV music awards, WWE-style.

To be fair, Jericho has had the best run he's had in awhile this year. He's easily in the top 5 for me. My top five would probably look like:

1: AJ Styles
2: Samoa Joe
3: Kenny Omega
4: Nakamura
5: Matt Hardy

Jericho would be number 6.

Mahal retains once again w/ the help from the Singh Brothers. He's a bum. How can anyone take him seriously when he has to have a couple of lackeys win as well as giving Meekmahan a boner because of his steroid-drenched body? Plus, fuck Blandy Boreton.

lol

I read the results of this turdfest online, and saved myself three hours of life in doing so. Jinder the Jobber retains to nobody's surprise, and yet another jobber is now the de facto number one contender. Meanwhile Styles, Owens, Ziggler, Zayn and Nakamura get to fight over some worthless secondary title in the mid-card.

Not to mention that cringeworthy love gimmick they've got Mike and Maria Bennett slumming to. Dude hasn't even stepped foot in the ring and already looks like a doofus. Even TNA gave them a better debut and gimmick to work with.

What an unbelievably bad joke this organization has become..

[Prettybrokenspiral]

I near-completely bypassed what was very likely another turgid, run-of-the-mill PPV and only bothered streaming the Lesnar-Joe match

What an unbelievable waste of a fight. This should have been the hottest, most lucrative feud of the summer, culminating in a superfight at Summerslam, and they of course opt for a seven-minute match on some bushleague PPV with a stupid name.

It's the same shit EVERY time with Lesnar: disappears for four months, throws a bunch of his lame suplexes, F-5, see you in another four months. Joe is every bit the destroyer Lesnar ever was and has been decorated everywhere he's been before WWE. You could actually have this guy as your champion on your flagship program every week and people would show up to see what he would do next, but instead...here's some suplexes and an F-5 and now yet another hot main event superstar is vanquished in ridiculous fashion by a part-time guy.

It amazes me how truly and consistently awful the WWE and TNAImpactGlobalFarceWrestlingWhateverwecallourself have become. It's like an ongoing contest to see whose shit can stink worse, at this point. And the smell is getting far too wretched to justify even reading about it after the fact anymore..

I'm not surprised in what WWE does. Plus, I'm sick of Brock Lesnar as the top guy. Fuck part-timers. They don't belong in the business. As for Braun Strowman. If what happened to him doesn't make him a babyface then the WWE Creative and Meekmahan can go fuck themselves.

Oh, and fuck Global Impact or whatever it's fucking called. The Man Who is Fond of Slapping the Nutz is just a con artist.

[Prettybrokenspiral]

Despite what could be a decent match, Brock will destroy AJ at Survivor Series in about 3 minutes, with 18 of the same lame suplexes and F-5s he always employs.

Deflated, AJ will drop the WWE title back to Jinder the Jobber on the very next SDL, because that's what the WWE does there's no way WWE is going to India without a Punjabi champion

Jinder the Jobber will lose the WWE title to Triple H in India because WWE Triple H also believes winning the same title 16 times somehow makes him on par with Ric Flair.

Jinder the Jobber and his Singe brothers will defeat Triple H for the WWE title in a rematch before WWE leaves India, making Jinder the Jobber a three-time WWE champion in the same calendar year, and every bit as formidable in the eyes of Vince Meekman as fellow paper-champion Roman Reigns.

And thus, after this brief respite, every wrestling fan's living nightmare will resume into 2018, unabated.

This has been your 15-second WWE wrap-up for the rest of 2017.
