Well, since the old thread has been buried with nothing really to talk about until last night, I figured it was time for a new pro wrestling general thread.

Talk about anything wrestling here. WWE, TNA, ROH, Indies, whatever just keep the topic to wrestling.

I must say, heel Punk is best Punk. Can't wait to see where this goes.

punk just doesnt do it for me.

this generic pg era poo is absolutely atrocious. I recently started watching again since Extreme Rules and Daniel Bryan and Ziggler are the only good things going. I don't get the CM Punk hype, maybe i havent been watching long enough. Raw/Smackdown are disgraces now, every show is awful.

In the words of John Cena "This fudgin sucks!!".

You've only seen face Punk. This is the hype behind Punk.

yeah im excited to see what hes gonna bring.

Also a possible spoiler/rumor:NWO is coming back with Punk being the leader

Yeah, I doubt that. Punk has done great work in the past with a stable behind him but I don't see the NWO coming back.

Kevin Nash's twitter definitely suggest something is goin down. I hope it happens.

Nash is also old/crazy/drunk.

The problem is how misused stables have been in WWE recently. The whole idea of the Nexus was great but the payoff wasn't there. The New Nexus wasn't any better.

The idea could be good, bring in a bunch of young heels and have them feud with the older faces. Punk, Bryan, Ziggler, Miz, Rhodes, Sandow, Cesaro, a returning Wade Barrett, a debuting Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose or Chris Hero. Have them feud with Cena, Sheamus, Jericho (turning face) etc. but the same thing was done with the Nexus 2 years ago.

Yeah I didn't watch when "Nexus" was around so IDK.

Also, I remember when the titles other than the championship ones actually meant something. Divas/Tag Team/Intercontinental/hardcore etc. used to be big. Now it's "lol kofi kingston and santino marella".

      You might want to re-read that. They're specifically saying they DON'T use stats. They arbitrarily judge each play and then extrapolate that into a grade.

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.
