Hey, I'm Russian and I wanna get into watching american wrestling. I was never exposed to it, so can you give me some advice on what I should watch? I know there's WWE, TNA, and some other franchises, those have various sub-championships (?) and it all looks like a mish-mash of random abbreviations to me.
Is there a particular franchise or particularly good seasons within those franchises you can recommend?
No weeb shit pls.
Watch wrestling reloaded on YouTube

Very funny, anon, but could you at least give me a quick rundown of most popular franchises. WWE seems to be the most popular one, but there are a lot of people shitting on it for being a shitty circus instead of a wrestling show.
>>2880306
WWE is the big circus. Lots of weird stories and mishandled wrestlers, but by being the biggest promotion it is kind of guaranteed that the best wrestlers will end up there eventually, so you end up with some good stuff almost in spite of management.
The WWE network is probably a good buy, since it gets you every Pay-Per View, as well as tons of back-catalog stuff, NXT (which is their 'developmental' brand, but lots of people like more than Raw/Smackdown), it's just the TV stuff gets there on a Delay.
TNA/Impact Wrestling is kind of the 'Other' TV wrestling show, and it doesn't have a great reputation. Went through some management shakeups, and I think is now owned by people who do a lot of MMA and Boxing stuff, dunno how that will be reflected.
ROH Is Ring of Honor, which tries to do a kind of MMA style of presentation. Don't have much experience with them, though their wrestlers tend to do a whole lot of inter-promotional work. And they put on pretty good shows on other promotions.
Ever notice the graphics in there entrance looks eerie and unsettling? Well I just found this by inverting it and I have to say its pretty cool and scary!
That's real neato, never noticed it before. Good job, OP.
Reigns dancing gimmick when?
Reigns hasn't been the face of the company for like 9 months
So
If not Reigns who?
>>2879681
Well it weren't fucking bo dallas who won the main event of Mania and retired Taker was it you lemon
He's done for isn't he lads?
>No Big Ass
>Jobs to Big Ass
>Got kicked off RAM Bus by the Big Dog
>Probably won't have any good storylines after this
What do?
>>2879375
kill himself
>>2879375
the first couple episodes of battlegrounds shows Cass and his bitch floundering in developmental until they team up with Enzo
>>2879375
He is a wrestler who can't wrestle, so...yeah...solo he is utterly hopeless.
Duh. Why would they spend so much money to get her otherwise?
>>2874386
She could lose to a heel in the finals
>>2874386
Her vs Candice LaRae needs to happen at some point. Don't know what the bracket looks like, but that would be great in the final

Please keep it kind and on topic.
Also no SCA/Reenactment/HMB please.
old thread >>2745078
So how do you guys think about one handers?
>>2809627
I think they should be legal as long as there are rules for afterblows negating points. Not doing so would encourage unsafe and unmartial fencing.
As long as the techniques aren't dangerous (like mordhau), anything should be allowed. If you keep getting hit by one-handed strikes, you clearly are fencing too close to your opponent.
>>2809627
>So how do you guys think about one handers?
They're one of the main attacks in """English""" longsword, so yeah, pretty sweet and like >>2811846 said.
>Also fuck people with good hip mobility.
>But mostly fuck my bonitis
>tfw so elegant, spectacular, low lunge in Prima ;_;
>ass kicked by jannetty
>ass kicked by bret
>ass kicked by random bikers so bad he had to give up the intercontinental belt
>too afraid to fight undertaker
>so insecure about his affair with the locker room whore that he started a rumor that almost ruined another man's marriage
Is Shawn the biggest bitch of all time?
he got fucked by marines too.
>scared so bad by The Harris brothers that he started to cry
>ass kicked by bret
Bullshit
>"Uhh, alright Im sure Im going to be burning a bridge with this one, cause I'm not supposed to know about this. And hopefully, nobody gets into any trouble over this because leaks happen, right? But you remember the storyline with AJ and Claire? WWE is ripping that off. Dixie is Claire and Kurt is AJ. Im saying the storyline, that everyone is alluding to, is shockingly familiar to AJ and Claire."
Everyone already knew this.
>>2883665
They already ripped off Claire Lynch with Daniel Bryan and Chelsea Green. The state of this company.
Thank you Eric for letting me know to not bother with Raw this week.
Will Vince take a note from this and turn WWE 18+? Did ya hear how fucking loud the crowd popped for Mcgregors promo.
Won't matter because WWE doesn't have a talent like Conor and a heel as over as Floyd
>>2883324
Thats just not true, WWE has an enornous amount of talent, they dont know what to do with em. Imagine based Reigns cutting a promo he created himself. It would btfo smarks so bad they would need therapy to deal with it.
>>2883317
childish insults? Garbage
>hehe bitch I'll know you out hehe bitch
Very entertaining
"......I never felt so embarrassed to be out on a date with someone who watches FAKE FIGHTING"
Thats what you get for falling for the women meme. Sex robots are the future.
>it says here under hobbies, you STILL watch professional wrestling, care to explain?...
>>2883286
Told a girl I know that I watched wrestling, and she told me her ex-bf was a wrestler who toured japan!
Apparently there's a new Rollins theme that hasn't and possibly will never be used. Thoughts on it? I always see people complaining that there aren't enough themes with lyrics anymore.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN12XMd5L_4
>>2882794
Themes without lyrics are better. Case and point, Stone Cold's theme. Sure the Disturbed theme is fine, but then the guy starts singing and it sounds dumb.
I never understood how people can make such generic sounding music. It's literally the modern version of cheesy bon-tempi organ elevator music.
getting pretty sick of hearing hack cfo$ loops over and over again. i understand they loop cos songs are only played for like a minute so they dont need to make full length songs with lyrics and verses but they have literally nothing else to do just make a fucking song properly
Do you think AJ will main event a wrestlemnaia before he retires?
I think he joined WWE too late for that, hes the same age as Cena
He will
He'll be a Triple Crown winner at the bare minimum plus a single WM main event (doesn't matter if he wins or loses)
>>2882790
>IC belts is in RAM
>bmaj gets drafted to ram
>romanreigns.jpg
let him stay insmackdown
I want him to form a tag team with Cena more than I want him to win another world championship

>That cute, proud, devilishly sly little smirk after he says it
God fucking damn it, he is soooo god damn cute. I'm not even gay but he is just unbelievably charismatic and good-looking. Also, his little reactions when Ibushi was speaking were golden. He looked like a gilded ex-girlfriend, still bitter about her breakup. Name a wrestler with better facial expressions. Go on, I'll wait. No one even comes close. Is Kenny truly /ourguy/?
>>2882350
Welcome to /asp/ Ibushi!
>>2882354
Everyone else seems to agree. You don't need to be personally related to him to appreciate his genius.
>"evil desu"
Evil is cuter than tryhard Ogayga
