That right there was one of the "Golden Ages" of wrestling.

Can you imagine both the WWF and the NWA titles defended on the same card?

Wrestling back in the day >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> today

You're killing me here.

Dick the Bruiser and Pat O'Connor vs King Kong Brody and Dick Murdoch?

I actually met Jerry Oates one time but I'm sure he has long forgotten me since then.

Race was always one of my favorites since he is from Kansas not far from here.

It's unfortunate that today's wrestling fan has no idea how good wrestling was back that.

And how much more... if I can say it... competitive it was.

You look at just this one card from St. Louis and it would be a "Wrestlemania" card today. With the only difference the wrestlers on that card had more overall longevity and notoriety than the ones that appeared on the past WrestleMania card outside of say Lesner, the Undertaker and Triple H. Sting's appearance was a joke.

John Cena def. Rusev
Roman Reigns def. Big Show
Nikki Bella def. Naomi
Dolph Ziggler def Sheamus
Dean Ambrose def. Luke Harper
The New Day def The Brass Ring Club

One surprise to me (a surprise but don't care about Nikki keeping her belt) is The New Day getting the Tag Team belts. UGH!!!

Just a funny thought..2 belts for what is a 3 man team.

they sure didn't put much thought into that..

They will use the "freebird" rule. It has been done plenty of times. Basically, any two can defend the titles at any given night.

I don't know that name...but ok. Thx.

That is a very poor choice of guys to hold any belts.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Hey hey hey...Seth is still the champ!

I don't think so. All the guys from New Day can really put on a show. The issue with New Day was that they were very stale and weren't cool. Also, a lot of fans wanted Kofi to be a heel and I think he can be great because he can work with anyone. Big E Langston has shown that he is funny as a heel and Xavier Woods can really talk on the mic.

I think they will be a lot more entertaining than Kidd and Cesaro as champs from a personality standpoint alone.

I respectfully disagree.

Hate that team. FF time.

They have 2 very good wrestlers in Kidd & Cesaro. Much better than any of those New Day guys.

The only time I ever watch a WWE tag team or Divas match is when I'm forced to during PPVs. I didn't even know the team name of "Brass Ring Club".

The show last night was...okay I guess. Unfortunately, Lilian Garcia was out hurt, recovering from some unspecified injury.

I agree with you on that they are very good wrestlers but that is all unfortunately. Cesaro started becoming popular because he was in a gimmick that included a manager who can talk and a nice catchphrase. Kidd became popular because he had connections with the Hart family. By themselves, no one really cares about them even though they have potential to wrestle in classic matches.

New Day came in as a gimmick and even though it failed as a face, I think the gimmick can succeed with them being heels. All they need is R Truth to join them with his "conspiracy" and "Little Jimmy" talk, and New Day will be gold.

I think this loss is a setup for Kidd and Cesaro to split as a team (with Cesaro staying as a face). WWE created a story to where Kidd was mistreating his wife, maybe they should include Cesaro in the triangle. With this, then maybe we might see a different side of Cesaro and hopefully compete for the U.S. Championship when Cena lose to Rusev on the next PPV (I can only wish) lol.

you should know I am a shallow female when it comes to the wrestlers...my love for Seth is mainly physical but I do think he's very good.

most of the guys here know how shallow I as m!

We have seen your love for Seth. My wife use to only watch it for Rock and HHH (younger version).

Tell you guys..I have a Seth shirt!

 

[Phoenix]

Oooooooooh.

It just hit me.

Neville? He's the new Rey Mysterio. Duh.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I like Neville. He's fun to watch.

I think that King of the Ring stuff is DUMB!

Bray is officially ruined...stuck with that Ryback guy
