    Well there's no chance in hell I get this 2016 recap finished in time for the new thread. It's seven pages long in Open Office and I'm only halfway through the year. I've got some words for 2016. That year needs to sit in the corner and think about what it's done.

    edit: boring TOTP but diddly dee here's a new episode of the AEP


    Awesome Truth in the neighbourhood? Who ya gonna call? The RrrroCk*spits*. Kefin, Adam and Billy reflect on a night of shambolic action in Madision Square Garden. Never Before. Never Again.

    Ronda Rousey shows up on Smackdown.

    Eva Marie interrupts her introduction to talk about Rousey being a loser. Goes to slap her.

    Rousey catches her hand.

    Rousey takes her down with a judo toss, locks in an armbar, referees storm to pull her off, Eva Marie slinks away clutching at the sorry remains of what used to be her arm while Ronda Rousey yells at her from the ring while being held back by a small army of referees.

    Bang, broken star rebuilt. It'll take all of five minutes.

    Honestly, Rousey isn't going to be a full timer, so I rather Eva Marie put Rousey in a hold and have Rousey tap, than have Rousey beat up a full time superstar(when Eva is not filming a movie).

    No offense but you're probably the only human being who feels this way.

    I am 800% fine with Rousey trouncing Eva because while Eva has become a fantastic character her wrestling skill is still lackluster at best and her character kind of needs her to be bad at actually wrestling so having her get her arm busted open by Rousey doesn't really hurt her at all.

    Eva's primary job should be either finding excuses not to wrestle or losing immediately if she does.

    And I like her.

    She could lose to a person who'd have one match and never wrestle again and I'd be fine with it.

    the most ridiculous part of this sentence is that Bone Soldier has a finishing move.

    John Cena recently spoke with ESPN, here are the highlights….

    On The New Crop of WWE Talent: “Over the past decade and a half that I’ve been around, the superstar turnover rate has been [high]. I’ve seen maybe three waves of talent come and go. I was just fortunate to be in a group in the turn of the century that was extremely talented, [with the] likes of Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar, just to name a few.”

    On a Possible Match With The Undertaker: “Undertaker certainly is a cornerstone of WWE, and just as I say to myself that I really would have liked to been able to get to know and certainly get in the ring with Andre the Giant, just because of all the respect and folklore that went around with Andre, I think The Undertaker has that same sort of respect and folklore around him. “If you’re asking if I’d want to be in a high-profile match with one of the most legendary superstars in the industry, my answer is yes.”

    Speaking of potential Mania matches, so is Roman vs Goldberg now on the table?

    I continue to assume that Roman vs Strowman is more likely.

    1) Silence 2) Books must be returned by the last date shown 3) Do not interfere with the nature of causality

    If WWE really wants to push Roman as the bestest ever wrestler why not have him beat he guy who beat the guy in less than 2 minutes who ended the streak.

    This would require Goldberg to wrestle for more than two minutes.

    You could have Roman beat him in a 10-15 minute match, but it would do him no favors. Roman isn't talented enough to carry Goldberg through it, so you'd have a fifteen minute snooze fest. He'd look worse coming out of it, even with a victory.

    I mean the females could use another valid intimidating super star . Only one currently on the roster is Asuka . Also put both of them on smackdown . The only female on raw I care about is Charlotte cause she is an awesome heel. The rest are super boring and deserve the dumpster fire that raw has become.

    Outside of Sasha and Charlotte, the women on RAW absolutely deserve better booking than they've had.

    I think they're building up Nikki as a feral monster right now, which could be an interesting dynamic.

    After seeing your wrestlings of the year awards nominations, I'm considering it.

    I will replace every mention of Baron Corbin in the next thread to Giant Tiger.

    Progress Chapter 42 is up, and Jim is talking about bringing his 4 month old son to a show in the future and recreating the beginning of the Lion King with him.
    Need to go to every Progress show this year just in case this happens.

    Also I'm pretty sure this is the first time a wrestling crowd has ever chanted "Teething baby".

    I'd agree if I wasn't absolutely sure Top Gun Talwar managed to get that chant at some point.

    Even if you don't like her I'd say Nia is pretty intimidating.

    Raw has two big storylines for the women right now, I'd say the booking is fine so far for a good chunk of them.

    He's basically been The Humane Society for wrestlers, pulling them from the metaphorical streets, getting them the help they need and releasing them back better healthier and happier than they might have even been while they were still wrestling. Surprised he hasn't already been inducted.
