Hopefully not too big

@Flareblitzfury  
Its the internet vs Roman if he becomes champ. Poor bastard will never make it past the first couple of hours.

@ice1517  
Indeed, and kind of makes me wonder who’d be next after him!

@Flareblitzfury
 
Sheamus?
 
Brackground laugh

@QuasarNova  
Somehow I can see Roman winning the title, and then Sheamaus cashing in it breifcase and giving Roman a short title reign!

@Flareblitzfury
 
With Survivor Series right around the corner and genuinely few options, a feud between them starts making a lot of sense.

@QuasarNova  
Get ready for “BORING!” and “THIS IS AWFULL!” chants if that happens(I like both of them)

@QuasarNova  
Yeah.

So, do you think the New Day will lose the tag belts at the ppv?

@ice1517  
Hmmmmm, maybe, I personally hope they don’t.

@Flareblitzfury  
Eh, I think their good, but I would like the Dudley’s to win the titles. Plus, the New day have been holding onto them for about 3-4 months, and this is one of the big 4 PPV, so it makes sense fi them to drop them.
 
Also, is it me, or does every Mexican indy promotion have at leas tone group of wrestlers as the TMNT?

@ice1517  
oh you’ve seen it eh?

@ice1517  
Yeah, makes sense!

@OptimusPrimevil  
Seen what?

@ice1517  
the TMNT parodies in lucha libre

Anyone else here find it weird when a wrestler uses a martial arts move?

@ice1517
 
Outside of Japan?

@QuasarNova  
Yeah

@ice1517
 
Depends on the wrestler most of the time.
 
Guys like say Rob Van Damm and CM Punk make them look organic precisely because they know about that stuff and actually practice it. If someone like Triple H or Adam Rose, heck even The Rock, began using Chokuzuki (Straight punch), Ashi Barai (Foot sweep) etc., then yeah, it would definitely feel off cause they don’t look like the type who would pull those moves and you simply can’t get into them because of that.

@QuasarNova  
Didn’t Santino use to do a bunch of Judo moves during his run? I think I heard that he does martial arts

@ice1517
 
Read that out loud, “Santino” the wrestler, the guy that won a match meant to honor the Diva’s division in drag, and that had a finisher called the Cobra, that literally meant turning his hand, into a snake head.
 
Not the best example if you ask me

@QuasarNova  
To be fair, if you did hit someone on the throat hard and fast, they probably would be pretty winded. Plus, if I remember correctly, the Cobra wasn’t kicked out as much (though it was mostly against jobbers/ low-midcarders)
 
Also, during one of the old royal rumbles(the on that flair won), didn’t Big BossMan do a spinning Crane kick?

@ice1517
 
Big Boss Man made sense cause his gimmick was that of an Action Cop ala movies like Lethal Weapon and so forth so of course there would be martial arts, he carried a pair of nunchakus at several points.
 
Santino was a-I have no idea what he was meant to be, if a take on wrestlers like the Honky Tonk Man, the Brooklyn Brawler… Or Eugene?

@QuasarNova  
I think his gimmick was dumb foreign comic relief.

@ice1517
 
So essentially
