Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

wow, Ryder is really really over. That was such a pop for him finally winning.

Now he just needs some rogaine and he'll be all set.

And seems like Cena isn't anywhere on the card too.

for once. the card seem a bit weak without him and a lot of the matches were a bit quiet.

lol @ beth getting picked up by the mics coaching Kelly halfway through the match. not many cool spots in the ppv, best one was ricardo from the top of the ladder through a table on the outside. almost every face won their match, which was very predictable. booker T was the only one to lose. ending to orton & barrett match was also way too predictable. overall pretty boring ppv despite the dangerous nature of the matches. they definitely needed christian healthy for this one.

No love for Zack Ryder for winning, Q?

no, I do. I really like him and how he came from nothing/ jobbing on Superstars to the US champion. it was all him and not Vince giving him a massive push like Shamus or ADR, so it was well deserved. I am also a big fan of Ziggler so i hate to see him drop it but he's had it forever and they've done nothing with it

well I thought their match was pretty damn good, so I'm up for an extended rivalry between those two.

Ziggler's a very good worker. he sells moves very well, even weak finishers look deadly when they are done on him.

The biggest news coming out of the PPV has to be Daniel Bryan winning the World Heavyweight Championship; so much for cashing in at Wrestlemania. Supposedly Mark Henry is legitimately injured which is the reason his reign has come to an end, though it would've been nice if Bryan had received more of a build and a clean win in a proper match. It remains to be seen how he'll be pushed as champion, I expect plenty of tiresome rants from Cole though.

Agreed. Edge's Spear looks so full of impact when Ziggler sells it. I'm a fan of his ring efforts, as well as Daniel Bryan's. Their match in Bragging Rights 2010 was a classic.

Batista continues to rip the current product, including Daniel Bryan's victory. Classy.

Ugh.

Love how Ziggler spin after Zack Ryder hits his finisher.

WWE's selling Anti Cena shirts. it's about time. and Cena's face is on Fruity Pebbles boxes

anybody notice how Punk's handcuffs magically reopened at least 3 times? cuffed to the ladder, he breaks the ladder to get it out, but the cuffs should still be closed. then they magically open up and he gets cuffed to the turnbuckle. then he unscrews it to get out again. then celebrating on the ladder you can see they are open again. and reports say he cuffed himself to Lillian Garcia after the match was over

At least they're acknowledging the mixed crowd reactions, even if they aren't going to fully take advantage of them and turn him heel.

I like Batista but he is turning into a jerk. Dude was pushed to the moon(well not really) and it was PG and Cena is feuding with a U MAD Masked Kane.

Too bad Henry has to dropped the title . Getting a push of a lifetime then injury stops the momentum. Who is the main heel in smackdown now?

As long as there are nothing inside those closed handcuffs (say a wrist or ladder) it can be opened again easily without a key.



Fuckin' handcuffs how do they work?

Good question. Perhaps we'll see a turn by Big Show.

Barrett?

Yeah, I guess so. They're kind of in the process of building him back up though.

its still weird to see Bryan and Cody Rhodes that jacked up...

It's awesome to see a relatively fresh group of champions, though it's a reminder they should've kept the Women's Championship, a better design for the tag belts and as mentioned once or twice before, brought back a more traditional design for the WWE Championship.

Awesome as all this is, it's kind of ruined by the fact that Alicia Fox has squashed both Phoenix and Natalya in consecutive weeks. Whilst using Maria's old entrance music for some reason.

^and beat Beth in a botched reverse DDT. is this the way they build up contenders now? smh

Haven't seen RAW or anything, but aren't they supposed to wait for both competitors to be on their feet before starting the match? Talking about Bryan's cash in of course.
