Life is such a mothefukcer. So sad.
Life is such a dick. To think he has death for a brother, you wouldn't think those two were related at all, what with life being such a wanker and death being so merciful most of the time. I just hate everything nowadays but one of the things I hate most is life and it's just because of the way he treats people; you never know how he's going to behave, somedays he's ok but others he kills our favourite wrestlers, oh wait that's death, actually I think they are both as bad as each other. They should just marry each other and just go and be mean to each other all day and let us live in peace. Especially you rel, they should let you live in peace, on an island.

Not sure about the spoiler rules in here, so I'll put this in a spoiler just in case - contains details of last night's RAW

So, Evolution are back. At least three of them, anyway. Which is good, because I liked Evolution. I actually liked 2003 Triple H, by the way, with his almost constant hold of the title. Then again, I liked 2004 JBL, and 2002-2007 Jeff Jarrett in TNA, so I'm clearly just a mark for heels getting long title reigns. Anyway, wasn't one of the key factors of Evolution that it was supposed to be a representation of the...evolution...of WWE at the time? You had the veteran in Flair, the current main eventer in Triple H, and then two "up-and-comers" in Orton and Batista (despite Batista being about 35 at the time, I think they meant in term of "in-ring experience).

Now you've got the veteran in...well, all of them, but mainly Triple H, the current main eventer in Orton, and Batista, but where's the up-and-comer? The original Evolution served as a platform to give Orton and Batista their push into the main event. The current iteration of Evolution, for me, could really do with a young guy in that sort of position, or just a guy that's got a few years ahead of him that could do with a push (a modern day Batista sort of thing). It's not like there isn't anybody there that fits that description. What about Big E Langston? 28 years old, currently IC Champ, but kind of stagnating. One of the guys down in NXT perhaps, to really get the rookie getting a chance thing over?

I doubt this will happen, and I understand if WWE want to keep it as the "classic" Evolution line-up, but to me, not having at least one younger guy in there kind of goes against the name and the original purpose of Evolution.

That last segment was so bad...why did reigns pose(roar thing) after hitting the spear when he has ten guys standing above him just waiting to kill him. And why would the shield get back into the ring instead of running when they are facing eleven men. Stupid.

Have'nt watched Wrestling in years but my younger brother has got into it. And I just wanted to with Bryan do people like the overall character(Wrestling style/Work on the Mic)or is it more of a gimmick character that's caught on. What I'm trying to say is Bryan a slightly better Gillberg.

Also what has happened to all the monsters, I when was watching(98-02) there were loads of them(Mankind,Kane,Undertaker,Gangrel,Viscera)I know it's aimed at a younger audience but I would of thought that would given them more of a reason to add more.

The highlighted one, the "YES" chant caught on, but he already had a solid fanbase. fecking Gillberg...jesus, Bryan is one of the best wrestlers in the world. They took a more realistic approach in regards to characters. Besides the long term guys I think Bray is the darkest character to come about in years, and even he isn't a monster.

Lemmy has forsaken us....
I do like whatever that submission move Paige used. So many wrestler's submissions don't look at all painful (STF and Del Rio's Armbar look particularly shite).
Scorpion Crosslock. Pretty immense looking move.

Shocking how bad Del Rio makes the armbar look, especially considering his legit MMA background...

That was the original purpose yeah. Right now their purpose is different and its just a reunion using the name cos thats who they were. The purpose now is to destroy Shield and having Shield eventually beat them will be big.

To be honest, subs are pretty unsatisfying ways to end a Pro Wrestling match. That being said, I would not be adverse to seeing one of the Bella's start using a triangle choke
Scorpion Crosslock. Pretty immense looking move.

Yep. Del Rios Armbar is wank, even more so considering that he has legit MMA skills.

AJ Lee's Black Widow is another one that I like.

This is the best move ever though....

I was a fan on Angle's ankle lock when he hit the deck and locked the leg.

The grapevine yeah. Dont like when he or Swagger stood up especially as Shamrock used to look much stronger giving it.

HHH grabbing a mic in Alabama and shouting "believe in Evolution" at everyone :lol:

He might be an egotstical knob but he can be genuinely hilarious at playing up to it.

Im so glad HHH has embraced that he needs to be a heel like Vince McMahon was rather than trying to be the cool boss that wants to get cheered. It just didnt make sense but now it does.

Okay let's look beyond the fact that wrestling is scripted and treat it as if it was real.

If you run away from a fight, even if it is an 11 vs 3 match, then you are pretty much bummed ever getting a title shot, for example. You aren't really going to be pushed much if you run away from fights. Best thing to do would be to just put up as much of a fight as possible.

But it is scripted though so why ignore that? And second even if you run away from a 4 on 1 advantage, you can make a name for yourself by defeating those four either individually or defeated those who are main event level wrestlers. No sane human would fight in that position if he can get away.

Dont agree with that, they tell a story through each feud. A story has to make sense.
:lol: Jesus fecking christ man. Wrestlers aren't "people", they're characters. Why would The Avengers take on an alien army despite being outnumbered?
