Pro Wrestling is FAKE!?!

Indeed. I'd also throw XI on the table as worse.

Battleground wasn't very good, but the tag match was excellent, Owens/styles was good other than the weird ending (but you had to expect something screwy to keep it going until SS), Corbin/shin shoe was decent and again I was expecting a screwy finish, preshow match was solid, flag match had "gimmick that takes away from what could be a good match" written all over it, and it delivered. And if you saw the first two Punjabi prison matches, you knew this was going to be terrible. And that's before an immobile hairless Sasquatch lumbers down to the ring. Battleground was nowhere near the unmitigated tragedy people want to pretend it was. If you want to see some really awful PPVs let's talk either preNWO early/mid 90s WCW or the dying days of WCW. You haven't seen mind numbing terrible until you've watched the coalition to end hulksmania in a doomsday cage.

Oh my god, if you wanna see a terrible PPV watch WCW Greed.

WM XI is the most underrated one.

[BotheLaneFan]

Fashion Peaks is segment of the year. Holy shit. Hilarious and accurate. Just amazing.

[hbktonyb]

Breezango is killing it.

Still surprised they didn't save Nak/Cena for a big PPV.

how about Souled Out 2000 for a real waste of precious viewing hours?

I actually prefer IX over XI, at least IX has the spectacle and pageantry (cheesy in restrospect early 90s pageantry, but pageantry none the less) of ceasars palace and was the only outdoor daylight WM until 31. XI is just a near complete dud, HBK/Diesel have 3/4 of a really good match until they slow it down and have a ho hum finish. Other than hat the matches are god awful. And LT vs Bam Bam as the main event? This was before Bam Bam has his resurgence in ECW and was a midcard wrestler at best. XI would be terrible as a late spring In Your House event, never should have been a Mania.

I like LT/Bam Bam. I will say, XI does have the only bad Bret Hart at a major show match I've ever seen.

Sad part of the Breezeango stuff is how they are the least watched segments on youtube and other media forms.

They are probably the only reason to watch currently. they are killing it.

Ha ha, yeah. Even Brett says that match is awful and he wishes it hadn't happened.

The Little Bastard!

His shoot interview with YouShoot is one of the best ones ever. Dude is hilarious.

Most overrated wrestler ever.

Ever.

[ramiro24]

In NJPW news, i need to watch Okada/Omega II and III along with Naito/Omega G1 Final. love watching all 3 of those guys in the ring. I see Shibata came back. Such a shame he will never wrestle again.

convinced Shibata has the best entrance theme ever.

Corbin wow...I mean he will win Sunday but why do that to him

[crashintonickdm]

#FireRoadDogg

and i dont even like borin corbin. they mustve just soured on the idea of him holding the strap.

[BotheLaneFan]

This is the worst wrestling day ever.

[artiej1120]

Corbin takes the L of the year. WOW that sucks for him. Hope they haven't soured on him too much. I think he has potential if his mic skills improve.

[ramiro24]

Corbin failing in the cash in is brilliant. Cant have the MITB be an automatic win every time. Needs to have the element of surprise that maybe a cash in will fail.

edit: im glad they pulled the plug on him. Having back to back duds as WWE Champions would have been brutal. The prestige of the belt would have tanked hard (as if it hasn't already being pulled down by Jinder Freaking Mahal)

[chadizzy1]

Read this:

"Bryan Alvarez discussed this topic on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Live and mentioned that there is actually some backstage heat on Baron Corbin and this could have attributed to WWE deciding on a failed cash in attempt Tuesday night.

Alvarez says the heat has to do with Corbin’s recent actions on Twitter. It’s being said that Corbin went at it with a few people over the last couple of weeks on the social media site, with one of them being Dave Meltzer. Baron has also reportedly blocked individuals that work for WWE.

Corbin’s actions didn’t go over too well with people within WWE and his push within the company could be on the back burner. We will keep you updated if we hear anything else."
