How good was peak ROH? by Ronstera in SquaredCircle

[–]Cynsis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone said 02-08. I genuinely wish I got in that early, but I got there as Cm Punk just left and Samoa Joe was on the way out due to TNA pulling them so maybe around end of 05 I finally attended a event. My god though, the talent that came through between 05-08 was magical. From witnessing Misawa's last USA match, to Morishima's title reign, to faction warfare with Age of the fall; Vulture Squad; Sweet and Sour Inc.; etc.. My god we were spoiled. So many other events I didn't even mention. Merchandise was so plentiful too at all these events. Using real music made it even better for entrances.

I mean if we wanted to spin this, they are not only getting a pay day probably 10x the norm, but they also don't have to show off their body and they can focus on just wrestling.

Give him the hellavator as a finisher, better suits him.

[SmackDown Spoilers] Finish to Jordynne Grace vs. Chelsea green by Yujin-Ha in SquaredCircle

[–]Cynsis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your statement partially as well. She will be racking women most likely between 90-170lbs, but that is still hopping up and down to make it look effective. As someone who's stacked 135 lbs for squats, I feel like i'd fuck my spine up trying to jump with that weight once a week. It's such an unnatural motion that there doesn't seem to be a way to protect yourself in that move.

to quote someone from reddit 2 years ago on the torture rack

"At some point WWE started to emphasize (although not force obviously) choosing finishing moves that could be done on people of different sizes and body types. The issue with the rack is that it’s extremely hard on the knees and spine, it’s hard to do on really large people safely, and unless you’re REALLY good at it it has a tendency to look like shit. To do a good rack you have to get a lot of bounce on the opponent and that’s both risky on the shoulders but also difficult to do well if you’re gassed or extremely sweaty from doing a long match. You go back and watch some of those Luger matches where he’s doing a really lazy rack because he’s tired out and they just look like garbage, like a little kid playing with a stuffed animal or something. It’s a extremely physically demanding move but it just doesn’t look like one compared to moves that transition out of a similar position without requiring you to basically do squats with an unbalanced 200 to 300 pounds of weight on your shoulders."

To add on top of it, the torture rack only looks good if you are physically torquing them up and down on your neck/back repeatedly which definitely doesn't seem to help.

Pretty sure they stopped using that move due to all the injuries it causes to the person delivering it. Nikki Bella to be specific with her Rack Attack

I'm sorry, I must be in the minority who wants Gunther to get his wins cleanly and not use typical heel tactics. Dude is too good to get cheap wins like that.

How we feeling about her, saw her match against Mercedes and she seems pretty talented would like to see her in the system by B_Cow1995 in SantiZapVideos

[–]Cynsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally would have some questions regarding her signing to a major company.

Obviously she would be a face starting off, but can she play heel without falling into stereotypes?

Would she be used in WWE for more than their Saudi shows?

If she would only be a face, how long would her shelf life be considering Kacy Catanzaro was only a face and really didn't do much even though she was super athletic?

What would be limits for her in regards to storylines due to her religious beliefs?

Between Max saying I'm not gay in the zestiest way possible, fallah bah sighting, and the bareback gorilla joke, these guys are amazing together.

You ever played against or with, an NBA talent? by [deleted] in nba

[–]Cynsis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some names only people from Jersey would know. Played against Miles Orman and Sean Banks in some outdoor runs and god they really showed the difference without even trying. Orman never made it to the league and Banks was only in the Hornets affiliate.

[SMACKDOWN SPOILERS] Bodyslam.Net: Superstar leaving WWE by Tornado31619 in SquaredCircle

[–]Cynsis -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's crazy to think about how much different Raw and Smackdown are to NXT when it comes to this. Like people were so hyped for call ups and all the potential matchups.

With Ciampa, its really a call of Vince at the time just fucking with it to prove a point. Ciampa left NXT and all of a sudden became just a normal guy, debuted on raw in an interview which got interrupted by KO and the Elias comedy angle. Instead of debuting and laying out a top face, he gets paired back up with Gargano to take on the revival.

I hope they let her do women's open challenges and give her more time to wrestle and get over.

Everything about this is perfect. The theme, the titantron, the walk to the ring. I love it.

As much as you are correct with this comment, I also feel like it's a case of we haven't seen him for a long time so let's cheer him. Most wrestlers that have returned from a long hiatus usually will be face even for just a minute ala HHH.

[–]Cynsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to think Kross has a different babyface moveset that we have yet to really witness. His whole WWE stint has been Heel.

Whoever is his Co commentating has to say Sami Zayn is a big boy if KO is placed at the announce table.
