Sheamus used Irish Curse (onearm backbreaker) as his finishing move in ECW but someone felt like he needed something a bit more stronger to finish off his matches. And I agree with that decision. His crucifix powerbomb and the pump kick look more legit as finishing moves than the backbreaker...

It is ridiculous to say that the crowd is not into Sheamus. He is one of few wrestlers in WWE whom get booed by pretty much everyone. Whether the people don't like him or don't want to see him as a champ he is drawing major heat. As long as passing the torch goes, I don't see it happening yet...

Nigel is great. And I love his style of wrestling. I don't think that he is submission based, though. His 2 main finishing moves are Tower of London and his Jawbreaker lariat. And the way he works his matches, he doesn't work opponent's arm or leg just to get a submission victory but he does it...

Best Ever? Not in my opinion. Doing flips while trying to sell a move has never really impressed me unless done on a rare occasion and for a purpose. HBK is in my opinion the best at selling. Chris Benoit used to be great. Chris Jericho is pretty good himself. Undertaker has done a great job...

This smells like a troll post but has some decent points to it. Kurt Angle is a better entertainer than AJ Styles and a better draw. As long as in-ring ability goes Kurt Angle is a little bit overrated in my opinion. Yeah, he can wok different styles and wrestle anyone. His matches look intense...

It is not that big of a deal and was probably blown way out of proportion. Fans can be annoying little pricks at times. There is no reason what so ever to confront someone in a restaurant while they are eating and ask them to do something for you. Plus, the report itself says that Orton spit gum...

I understand the posts that say this mirrors nWo a lot. And every time Hall and nash together get involved into any kind of a group it will do so. However, 1 thing I think TNA and the wrestling world could capitalize from is a well known hatred in between Russo/Jarrett and Hogan/Bischoff. And...

To be honest I haven't been a big TNA fan ever since Russo took over the book. For a while TNA was an attractive alternative to WWE featuring great matches with the likes of AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle (early), Petey Williams, Jay Lethal, Austin Aries, etc. And they had...

Your post is garbage, a very biased garbage. John Cena has proved time and time again that he can work. His selling has improved a great deal. He now does a better job of selectively selling moves so it doesn't look like he is getting murdered on every move that he takes. And he sells the...

I would say Edge but not by a lot. Cena has made great strides in improving in some areas that very few people notice such as psychology. He has done a better job of selling the moves well without overselling them. For example, John Cena from 3-4 years ago would take a move, sell the beatdown...

Hmm... this is a tough one. Before I say it I wanna point out what to me makes a great in ring worker: 1. Psychology - a wide area. basically it is knowing when to go for which moves, when to pick up the pace and when to slow it down. Why to do certain things during the match like selling an...

I have a question for the original poster. You talk about all different variation of Vince McMahon that we have seen over the last 15-20 years. My question is, have we ever seen Vince McMahon who doesn't get a huge reaction whenever he comes out to the ring? So why change something that works so...

I am not sure to be honest. He is a very solid in ring worker, a big man who can move and has some devastating looking moves other than the ones we have already seen. I really think that WWE needs to establish him as a champion. I'd like to see him get a couple of wins over possibly DX and a...

Both would be a great choice but if I had to chose 1 of the 2 it would be The Rock. With Bret's age and health he would be a prop at most. They would probably run some kind of a lame segment involving him and DX. And they might have him and Vince have a face off. Not that it wouldn't be good but...

Honestly, I think TNA needs to start running shows in bigger arenas. Running TV shows in front of 1,300 people compared to WWE running theirs in front of 15,000 is what in my opinion makes TNA appear second rate. I am not trying to knock TNA fans but everything about watching TNA screams a small...
