I'm glad they relented. It would have been the height of hypocrisy to fire Emma over something very minor and likely accidental, but keep idiots who have been done for DUIs and bribery (like Cameron, as I've read elsewhere) on the books.

From what I had read, the fact that after she completes her community service the charges + arrest will be striked out is what got her back in, along with some of the roster making rumbles similar to your post.

No match for Bo at MITB or Raw. Is he injured?

Cool to see Y2J back. I wish he did a repeat of his last comeback though. That was hilarious.

Don't know if you watched it but he worked one of the Matadores on Smackdown!

JBL was hilarious. Explained that the other Matadores was out due to an injury sustained by Torito's uncle and that Torito has Stockholm syndrome. After the match, Bo offered Torito some words encouragement about growing taller which lead to him getting gored in the ass and Torito did his twerk taunt.

Santino Marella just announced his retirement. I'm sad because it means I will never see the Honk-o-meter again...

Watching RAW now. The opening tag match was good. I'm in two minds about Lana.

Part of me wishes she was once a porn star ala Shae from GoT so I could go look it up.

Other part of me is happy to wait and hope each week for a glimpse of something.

So smokingly hot.

Iactually like Rusev too though and hope he has a good run.

 

[redvscotty]

Dean Ambrose is the next CM Punk / Bryan.

If he's not pushed to the hilt over the other two it will be criminal.

The only thing that would better a full on Ambrose push would be Rollins and Reigns hitting the absolute top and a triple threat at WM31 with all 3 in it an Ambrose taking it allllll out!

 

[redvscotty]

Eh, I'm sick of seeing the usual merkins win. Del Rio can suck a fat one. Spewing Ziggler is practically a jobber now. Pathetic booking. Ruin Stardust and I'll almost stop watching.

She's got nudes out there.

She's an actress who basically appeared on a bunch of shows wearing next to nothing.

She's also Pitch Perfect.

Lol bo

Helping an entire country rebuild, what a guy!

I just wish Rusev had a massive slam as a lead up to his finishing move.

If he had the one truly big powerful move in his game, I reckon it'd make him look even more menacing.

Are they going to start giving him some decent opponents and decent length matches soon?

They did recently - Big E was his opponent last 2 PPVs but he (Rusev) won. Next PPV his opponent will be Jack Swagger, and it looks like Swagger is going to have a face run. He and Zeb got a huge pop and massive "We the People" chant on Raw.

For Rusev's slam, are you referring to something like Mark Henry's World Strongest Slam?

no, cos that slam is shit. a modified suplex/pumphandle slam perhaps.

If he could get a mean looking backbreaker in as a set up I think it would work better than the current stomp to the back. A running powerslam could be good too.

I beg to differ, World's Strongest Slam is the best pure slam in the biz.

For Rusev I reckon a release German could be a good setup, throw them over and get up looking to Lana. The German focuses on the back, and they'll end up on their stomach which would make it look smoother than if he had to kick them over for the clutch.

That or an Alabama slam, which isn't seen near enough.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Some sort of slam that involved his entire weight on the opponent.

Hey, it works for Mark Henry, no doubt. I just think it's not that great.

Given the Russian characters are typically very conventional/old school and love suplexes, I think a Suplex like a German/Tiger/Half or Full Nelson would be a great way to lead up to the clutch.

Maybe even a variation of the clutch, standing and leaning back would look f**king sick!

The fact the victim wouldn't be able to reach the mat to tap out would mean they would be at the complete mercy of Lana.

His 'feud' with Big E was a non event. You can't really call it a feud when one party doesn't ever look remotely capable.

Swagger v Rusev looks much more promising.

She's got nudes out there.

She's an actress who basically appeared on a bunch of shows wearing next to nothing.

She's also Pitch Perfect.

Pics or it didn't happen!

A hard release German, an overhead belly to belly, or an Alabama Slam would be pretty awesome.

A dragon suplex always looks pretty sick as well.

Rusev/Big E from TLC has been Rusev's best match so far without question. Actually made the camel clutch look like a killer hold and Big E really held up his end of the bargain with a great spear through the ropes and off the apron.

I wouldn't go too flashy with Rusev. He's the heel, he's meant to be irredeemable. If you start giving him Benoit suplexes, the fans may begin to turn on him and you don't want that, not for somebody who you want to be a heel magnet.

Moves like the Alabama Slam or the Dominator would be nice choices but not the best ideas for regular moves since they have the reputation of hurting wrestlers.

Honestly, I'd like to see a lot of wrestlers tinker and update their move-set. Especially guys like Cena, Orton and Ziggler. Cena & Orton because there's only so much staple spots you can take before their matches run together and Ziggler because I never bought his move-set at a main event level, even when he was positioned in such a way.

I think if you give a heel orthoox moves, people will like them, which is why i think a clinical suplex would suit his persona and style well, but be a good lead up to the clutch. His game just misses that one decent slam/suplex move to make him a real danger man imo

In saying that, how long do you think a man can remain a heel with Lana by his side lol

 

[Eelementary]

IMO Rusev should perform a Torture Rack leading up to his Camel Clutch.

But I'd change the Camel Clutch - not a fan.
