CW POD: Is pro wrestling fun again?

[mj4cy]

Rock explaining why he wasn't there. Didn't want to rain on Cody and John but I think he would of brought something worthwhile.

Yeah his reasoning is fair and makes sense....but why prop it up that he was an integral part of the storyline in February?

They easily could have brought Rock out, he gets knocked out by a Cody supporter (could have even been Randy), then let Cena have his moment/win dirty.

Just curious. Who's the good guy in WWE that everyone likes and you hate and who's the bad guy you like that is hated by the fan base?

Great/fun question.

New Day is pretty popular but they've always been meh to me. Not sure there is anyone hated by the fan base that I'm really into.

Listened to Busted Open, the 3 wrestlers Henry, Bully and Dreamer also hated night 2 finish.

One of big gripes was Cody looked weak for not giving Scott a true "receipt".

He gave Scott a crossroads but I guess they wanted more than that.

I do have to say this is one of my least favorite things about the OWC. Did anyone actually watch that and think that Cody "looked weak" because he only gave him the crossroads? That seems totally made up. I saw people complaining about Hendry looking weak as the TNA champ in a squash with Orton-- which is totally dumb as well.

It's totally legitimate to complain about the story lines not making sense, or certain people not getting a push, etc. But these guys that get all caught up in looking weak, or who takes the pin or whatever is just silly.

Guys refusing to do a proper job is the reason that pro wrestling has a lot of the problems it has...

Try the Gametime app. Closer it gets to showtime you might find a decent deal.

Ended up going last night. I’m typically very positive about these expierences as you’d be able to see from previous posts. Last night was an incredible disappointment and first time I’ve ever felt like I wasted money. Half assed effort and money gauging of the highest order by WWE.

Biggest star was Orton, who simply did a promo.

No Cody, Cena, McIntyre, or Reigns.

Seth didn’t come home.

The only match you promoted was for a guy who was literally a midcarder for AEW 4 months ago.

Jimmy and R-Truth were probably the 3rd and 4th most famous males there, and they never left back stage.

Tiffy wrestled for maybe 2 minutes?

No dark match after the show.

I may travel to Minneapolis/Omaha/KC for a show but if that’s the effort HHH and Co are going to give us, might as well skip Des Moines

Dark matches haven't been a thing for a year or so now.

Fort Worth last week was amazing so I knew this wouldn't be as good a show but still was solid for what it's worth.

Still enjoyed myself though. I was fourth row behind announcers.

People were sitting down for Zelina Piper and Green and Piper were looking toward our section so I jumped to salute them.

I love me some Chelsea Green. I want a recount!

Yeah I would agree overall I was underwhelmed. I didn't have super high expectations though. I assumed when RAW went to Netflix and Smackdown to USA, the push would be for RAW to have the best storylines/most big names. Also, my guess is most wrestlers won't want to go to Des Moines, Iowa if given the choice.

Did love to see LA Knight, the Miz, and Orton. Wanted to see Orton wrestle, but it was a good promo.

I took my youngest and she had the time of her life so that's really what was important.

I bought 3 uppers a while back planning to take my oldest and middle kid. Well the oldest had a softball tourney Friday evening that I help coach, so my wife took middle and youngest. They ended up getting upgraded to floor seats! The kids had a blast.

Though I doubt he remembers where it was, minor fun story. Cody Rhodes was “fired” after losing to Big Show in Des Moines. This storyline was created to give Cody time off for his wedding and honeymoon.

Triple H won his first WWE championship at Hilton Coliseum.

That was against Orton. I had front row seats to that show!

Favorite piece of wrestling trivia. It was also the debut of Lillian Garcia.

Dark match that night had some jobber named Kurt Angle... wonder whatever became of him?

Great men's mitb with the most predictable and boring winner. How do Punk and Zayn not come out after reed and breaker did?
