Bushy. Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I don't see Kalisto as the next or being "better" than Rey Mysterio anymore. He's missing something and I don't know what. He's certainly a better high flyer though (atleast in his Rey's WWE run). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning116 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Cena's better on the mic too, imo. If left to his own evidence, yes. In WWE, he's swing and a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly a better high flyer though (atleast in his Rey's WWE run). Dunno if you watch Lucha Underground, but Fenix is very similar - only booked miles better. I know he's not in the WWE, but he has some of that flavour Rey had. Also his brother is Pentagon JR, and anything even remotely affiliated with him is great.

He's a spectacle to watch in the ring and he has natural charisma. He also doesn't talk so he has a pretty mysterious persona to him which I like unlike Kalisto, and of course there's way better all around luchadors on that show like his brother, Puma, Mil, etc. But yeah, I'd take Fenix in the WWE anyday over Kalisto.

Bushy. Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Not really. Last night in that promo he didn't say a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willows Way Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I honestly for the first time believe the main roster is finally getting better. I look at guys like Ambrose becoming a main eventer, AJ Styles being booked as a big deal, Owens as IC champion & feuding with Sami Zayn, Kalisto as US champion, New Day as tag champions and the Divas championship finally getting credibility with the 4 horsewomen. Plus young guys are challenging the older guys and many of the older guys are finally gtfo of here. Only thing plagueing WWE right now imo are injuries and their booking, while improving, is still a bit dodgy. But overall, i finally feel like the main roster is getting the change we all hoped for. I only hope 2016 is the year where it all comes together and we wash away the previous years of WWEs crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 The writing is more important to a good product than the roster. Depends on what you watch for. I watch for good wrestling therefor the roster is more important for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy. Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 That's assuming the roster is mainly good regardless. No amount of good writing can invest me in a character/storyline/feud if they just aren't good enough to pull it off, while the quality of matches and delivery of promos can work just just fine even with shit writing.

JGPLX. Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 What I meant was good writing can make up for a lacklustre roster, but a good roster can't make up for shit writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 What I meant was good writing can make up for a lacklustre roster, but a good roster can't make up for shit writing. I agree with the first part, disagree with the second. There have been some great matches on the lesser shows like Superstars and they've had lackluster writing to accompany it. I think good wrestling is just good wrestling regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy. Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Both aren't ideal but the second would be the lesser of the two evils for me. Much rather have a good roster even with shit writing than a poor one with good writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Carlton Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 So i'm watching 2002 PPVs and is it just me or do titles just not seem so important? it might just be because im looking in hindsight but these title matches just dont have the same feeling that i remember from 2005 onwards. I mean the WWE title is changing at basically every PPV.. Idk just looking for input from people who watched WWE regularly in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the WWE title is changing at basically every PPV.. Idk just looking for input from people who watched WWE regularly in 2002. Issue was, that after the merger of WCW, there were so many titles that it reached saturation point. I would also blame the handling of the Jericho title reign in the early part of 2002 as well - WMX8 was built around Hogan V Rock, that the title was secondary, but not only that - Jericho was reduced to a bit part player in the battle between Stephanie and Triple H. Plus you're right there were so many title changes in that year, that titles became "props". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Carlton Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah i was thinking that (im up to Vengeance now), when Hogan won it, it was about Hogan, not the title, when Undertaker had it, it was about the feud, he just was sort of holding the title while feuding.

LEGION Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Victoria is overrated. Definitely. She was a stand out talent in a pile of shit-division (minus Mickie James), but otherwise just your average wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsipeus Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Daniel Bryan was terrible but Bryan Danielson was great. Ziggler was never worthy of a main event spot. Being a good seller doesn't make him a main eventer. The New Day sucks and will be driven into the ground aoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
