    At the risk of seeming sexist, THIS is how you use women in wrestling

    I'm still a fan of employing a sexist gimmick you know, it's not PC but it's a heel everyone could hate. It'd be business suicide but would draw monster heat.

    Is it just me who's a bit annoyed by Brock's MMA style?

    From a character stand point you're right however he's not got the balance right yet between character intergration and having a good match sorted yet, it's like Ryback doing his dominating stuff vs Punk at HIAC it fit the character like a glove but the match was poor. Brock isn't that bad but...

    Joey Ryan - should they alter his gimmick?

    Hey Testify hop on for the moustache ride of your life. Recently Joey Ryan's "other career" has been played up a fair bit on commentary when he's actually on TV and I'm starting to think they should start playing to it more. He can keep the sleazy nature but as Val Venis shows a pornstar could...

    Name some good pundits.

    :obama: It wasn't a red, I think everyone with an understanding of football agrees with that. The rule book really needs updating and simplifying to remove these kind of incidents, too much is down to interpreation. It should be his foots high -----> is he aware an opponent is near? If so red...

    Name some good pundits.

    So how is Keane an idiot with this point? He is a colossal fool IMO but this one is a poor example of it.

    Name some good pundits.

    W Whilst this is true technically it's the Premier League which is at fault for not enforcing the idiotic rule, if you want consistency video replays are required as people are too inconsistent.

    Is it just me who's a bit annoyed by Brock's MMA style?

    This is the problem I'm getting at, he's too far in the MMA gimmick with his matches that variety is gone. He's approaching it too much like he's in a fight and not in a storytelling aspect. Going for the kimura in MMA multiple times I can't fault him for it but in something built around...

    Name some good pundits.

    It wasn't in the Prem though lol, you could use the argument of in La Liga it would have been a red with similar effect. I think it should have been a judgement call and he made the wrong one but calling Keane an idiot with that example when it's a valid opinion is just wrong IMO.

    Name some good pundits.

    To be fair to Roy his main point was by the letter of the law the red was justifiable, which if you take the rules strictly it was.

    Is it just me who's a bit annoyed by Brock's MMA style?

    The WWE don't care about what I think? I know that however it's an irrelevant point here as they don't care about any threads made on here. Who cares if a small percentage want to see it? A small percentage want to see Daniel Bryan say fuck you Vince and kick people's heads in does it make the...

    Is it just me who's a bit annoyed by Brock's MMA style?

    Implying I care about ratings, this is evaluating his match quality and why I don't see it as being up to par. Also the name Brock Lesnar draws not his style, people know wrestling is pre-determined so no way can you say Brock working an MMA style draws, Brock fighting that way drew not him...

    Could a stiff style of wrestling get over in the WWE?

    The WWE is too soft if that's the case, I'm not saying they should have people shooting on each other every night but every so often it'll add a lot to the product.

    Is it just me who's a bit annoyed by Brock's MMA style?

    Honestly I haven't been really satified with his return, the match with Cena was a good brawl and his match with Trips was well ... dull IMO and I haven't been blown away like a Brock Lesnar match should do, you know?

    Is it just me who's a bit annoyed by Brock's MMA style?

    Isn't he also a former WWE champion though, is it not theoretical for him to utilise more pro wrestling moves also? His entire moveset seems to be based around the MMA gimmick, I'm not denying he does it well it just seems awfully 1 dimensional IMO, compare it to his matches with Angle where...

    Conor O'Brian - the next monster?

    Rollins and Ambrose were both doing house shows pre WM I think, ADR did the WM revenge tour as Dos Caras or something similar when I saw the raw show in 2010 I think it was also.

    Could a stiff style of wrestling get over in the WWE?

    Apologies in advance for bringing Japanese vanilla midgets into this section but could the stiff style used by many in the orient firstly be viable in the WWE and secondly get over? If so who would you like to use it? The prime example is the match below between Misawa and Takayama below...

    Is it just me who's a bit annoyed by Brock's MMA style?

    And against Trips? He was barely even working the arm any other way if I remember rightly. I'm a fan of the Cena match but he seems to be really limited now, it's a shame really IMO. It could just be me being strange though.

    Is it just me who's a bit annoyed by Brock's MMA style?

    Probably he busted out a few but how many times did he shoot in and drop elbows or go for the Kimura for comparison, it was a lot more I'm guessing. It fits from a character stand point sure but why can't he be throwing people around more also? It just seems pretty limiting for a great performer...

    What was the REAL Main Event Sopost to be for WrestleMania 13!?

    I'm assuming we're talking about 97 here.
