WWE Battleground 2013 Discussion Thread

[Anybody Thrilla]

http://www.wrestlingrumors.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/WWE-BATTLEGROUND.png

OK, so off the top of my head, we've got...

Daniel Bryan v. Randy Orton
RVD v. ADR in a Hardcore match
CM Punk v. Ryback
The Rhodes Bros. v. Rollins & Reigns
Brie Bella v. AJ Lee
Curtis Axel v. R-Truth for the IC title
Kofi Kingston v. Bray Wyatt for no apparent reason whatsoever
The Real Americans v. Santino and Khali in a match of the year candidate
Damien Sandow v. Dolph Ziggler (kickoff)

Am I missing anything?

Who's watching tonight?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think I'm most intrigued by the Goldust match, which I never thought I'd say about a 2013 PPV.

[Bad News Gertner]

Sorry, I only watch WRESTLING pay per views, not SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT!

[Lock Jaw]

Of the 9 matches, there are only 3 I have any interest in. Might just tune in to the last hour and hope they are all within that hour. (Orton/Bryan will be at the very least)

[Shisen Kopf]

Probably stream this if one of you fartknockers give me the link.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Ordering this now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm still wondering how The Real Americans v. Santino and Khali got added to the card and Ziggler's on the pre-show. Will we see a cash in tonight?

[Lock Jaw]

Only if Sandow jobs on the pre-show.

[Anybody Thrilla]

So is Ambrose nowhere to be found? I almost have a feeling that they'll add him to the Rhodes match and make it handicap...or even add Dusty for a six man. :lol:

[Anybody Thrilla]

I hate that they don't just show me the Kickoff on the fucking PPV broadcast.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Tensai in a suit :lol:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

hahaha

[Cool King]

Tensai looks like a politician.

[loopydate]

Only if Sandow jobs on the pre-show.

So, yes, then?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Haha, why does Ryback have to be beautiful, though?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Seems like they might actually show the kickoff match here.

[Anybody Thrilla]

All right, cool.

[Cool King]

My YouTube stream keeps freezing.

[Innovator]

I really want a giant swing on Khali

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nobody cashes it in after saying they might cash it in, right? At least not a heel.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really want a giant swing on Khali

I was thinking the same thing.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really want a giant swing on Khali

Did you just see that Zeb tweet?

"Tonight we'll find out if a giant can swing"

:eek:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Impressive quality on the Xbox app. Can't really tell the difference between watching on it or cable box except I can't play GTA right now.

[Innovator]

Did you just see that Zeb tweet?

"Tonight we'll find out if a giant can swing"

:eek:
Well either that or Real Americans are going lynching

[Innovator]

But that's probably not PG

[Anybody Thrilla]

PPV doesn't have to be PG, I don't think.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Titus is not making his commentary a win.

[Cool King]

A talking bull!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

El Torito macking on Renee Young.

[Anybody Thrilla]

El Torito has exquisite taste.:y:

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't remember Edge and Lita having any real power.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Champ has the power.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Randy is figurative bestiality PG?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did Tensai just pull a Corso?

[Cool King]

I'm still hearing the Spanish Announce Table.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

All of the hair that was on his back made that beard.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What would he have put on his face if he picked Orton?

[Innovator]

I want Tensai to become WWE's Corso full time

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What would he have put on his face if he picked Orton?

Amy Weber's bag.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ricardo can fuck right off if he's going to stay with RVD. It's the worst pairing in wrestling history. If he doesn't turn on RVD tonight, this has all been a waste of everyone's time.

[Ermaximus]

Trying to get #RhodesToGold trending. Hope WWE will pick it up as a tag team name.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why is RVD flipping off of barricades when we can still hear the opening bell resonating in our ears? His psychology is ridiculous.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ricardo can fuck right off if he's going to stay with RVD. It's the worst pairing in wrestling history. If he doesn't turn on RVD tonight, this has all been a waste of everyone's time.

Going to be somewhat interesting if he doesn't turn considering RVD is rumored to be leaving or taking a break really soon.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who the fuck wears a t-shirt with dress pants? I hate this version of Ricardo so bad.

[Innovator]

I really think RVD and Del Rio are just trying to concuss each other

[Anybody Thrilla]

Going to be somewhat interesting if he doesn't turn considering RVD is rumored to be leaving or taking a break really soon.

Hasn't he only been back for three months or so?

[Lock Jaw]

Just tuned in. Hoped this match would be over by now.

[Cool King]

Is the TitanTron not working?

[Impeccable]

I really think RVD and Del Rio are just trying to concuss each other

Yeah, I think so. Some of the kicks look brutal. #stiff

[Anybody Thrilla]

"I think I'll put on my black slacks and dress shoes, topped by a faggoty ass pink t-shirt" - Ricardo Rodriguez

[Impeccable]

Ricardo going to fuck up?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Does that bucket seriously say "RVD" on it?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well, a turn is seeming less likely now.

[Lock Jaw]

Well, so much for a Ricardo heel turn.

[Impeccable]

Hit RVD accidentally at some point?

[Anybody Thrilla]

CROWD: We want tables!

RVD: How about a chair?

CROWD: Yeah, OK, that's fine!

[Lock Jaw]

So far I have seen RVD do three moves, making sure to say his name before each one.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fans: we want tables!

(RVD holds chair)

Silly RVD that's not a table.

[Impeccable]

So far I have seen RVD do three moves, making sure to say his name before each one.

To be fair, I get the office to chant mine before I send every email.

[Anybody Thrilla]

"Clean" Del Rio win and Ricardo gets fucked up. Hmm.

[Lock Jaw]

Sweet. Pretty much destroyed RVD's arm there. Hopefully this writes him off of TV.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Awesome finish.

[Impeccable]

Seriously, how does RVD not come out of some of his matches with major injuries?

[Anybody Thrilla]

ZEB: Your main claim to fame is a deep fried chicken wing.

CESARO: I didn't even know that.

:lol:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WE THE PEOPLE!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Zeb

[Cool King]

Khali and Santino.

Get ready for some comedy.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I love how Santino is quietly afraid of heights.

[Lock Jaw]

I am now pretty hyped for this match after someone mentioned a possible giant swing on Khali

[Theo Dious]

...That seems to be a lot of support for Colter...

[#1-norm-fan]

I have nothing else to do and have no desire load up the stream for this. But a swing on Khali is tempting me.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I hope they don't do that snake charming bit again.

[Cool King]

Swingin' time.

[Lock Jaw]

Is it just me or is the crowd audio louder than usual?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro work well together as a team, it adds to their matches. #EWR #roadagentemail

[Anybody Thrilla]

DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[Theo Dious]

Good freaking lord.

[Anybody Thrilla]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Impeccable]

No wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Cool King]

Amazing.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cesaro is a fucking boss.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WE THE PEOPLE!

[Impeccable]

Freakin' awesome!

[Lock Jaw]

Gotta be honest, I didn't think the swing on Khali could be done. Glad I was wrong.

[Emperor Smeat]

Simply amazing what Cesaro can pull off.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

'Or like me a heel or a face.' Alicia Fox.

[ron the dial]

yeah that was freakin sweet

[Anybody Thrilla]

WWE doesn't seem too bothered by the face pops for the Real Americans.

[Lock Jaw]

T-Minus 5 minutes to .gif :shifty:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The new piss break since AJ Lee is too awesome to skip.

[Lock Jaw]

OH GOOD. A Curtis Axel match against a WHAT'S UP R-Truth.

[Cool King]

T-Minus 5 minutes to .gif :shifty:

It was most likely a gif as soon as Khali hit the canvas.

[#1-norm-fan]

Did Khali's legs snap like a twig? I imagine they would.

[ron the dial]

yes

[Anybody Thrilla]

R-Truth matches make me sad.

[Lock Jaw]

Let's all take a minute and remember those few months where we cared about R-Truth. RIP Little Jimmy.

[Innovator]

Why is there no gif yet?!

[Anybody Thrilla]

If Truth changed his theme music and attire to respectable things, I might be OK with him.

[Innovator]

Real Americans > Cobra

[Cool King]

Let's all take a minute and remember those few months where we cared about R-Truth. RIP Little Jimmy.

[Cool King]

I'm guessing that the guys in the truck have just found the slow motion button and are now constantly going to town on it.

[Lock Jaw]

The replays seem to be slowed down more than usual tonight.

Getting dizzy watching it.

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe they added one or two hi-speed cameras out there. I think I see more camera guys around the ring than usual.

[Cool King]

Woooo! Still champ.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

McGuialcutter for the Win ! Tipsters for me!

[Impeccable]

Well that was...erm...yeah...

[Lock Jaw]

What move did Axel use to win? Totally wasn't paying attention.

[Impeccable]

...underwhelming

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If Brie wins we riot.

[Impeccable]

What move did Axel use to win? Totally wasn't paying attention.

Some wierd shitty looking neckbreaker snapmare thing.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I kinda like the slo-mo replays. They seem to only use them on high impact moves.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I guess Lawler doesn't even watch Total Divas. Nikki has a mean streak, not Brie.

[Cool King]

Damn I miss Kaitlyn.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did Brie go to the Kelly Kelly School of Hitting the Ropes?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Nobody likes you Brie.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Where is Kaitlyn anyway?

[Cool King]

Did Brie go to the Kelly Kelly School of Hitting the Ropes?

Funny that, I was just thinking the same thing.

[Lock Jaw]

Big E Langston is a lot more effective now that he's a woman

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Kaitlyn is hurt. AJ wins! No riot!

[Cool King]

Where is Kaitlyn anyway?

Apparently, she's spending some time with family or something.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did Brie forget that her sister is also a wrestler? She should be able to fend for herself. Took her eye off the ball.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Did Brie forget that her sister is also a wrestler? She should be able to fend for herself. Took her eye off the ball.

We really lowering our standards to call a Bella a wrestler? She's a diva.

[Lock Jaw]

I'll be your huckleberry all night long

[Lock Jaw]

WTF does that even mean

[Cool King]

I'll be your huckleberry all night long

Sounds sexual.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It means I'll be your man for a fight.

[Lock Jaw]

Darth Mauldust

[Emperor Smeat]

I'll be your huckleberry all night long

:lol: still have no clue what Dusty meant

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did Goldust paint on a beard? That's PrettyCool.

[Cool King]

Goldust looks like a golden Darth Maul.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hard Times!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Goldust looks like a Juggalo.

[dronepool]

Goldust looks cool(er) (than a Juggalo)

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cody does have half of Dusty's charisma and half of Goldust's skill.

[Lock Jaw]

Renee looking extra good tonight

[Innovator]

Christ this will be tits

[Lock Jaw]

Usos gonna help Rhodes win

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

More Cowbell!

[Impeccable]

It would be interesting if the NXT guys helped out. Especially as they seemed to make a deal of Dusty developing future talent.

Would be interesting to then get Triple H and Stephanie on NXT for a night or two "punishing" talent.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Dusty no sells Cancer.

[Poit]

"Duffel bags fear Orton" sign :lol:

[simplythevest]

I cannot find a stream anywhere. I checked the old ones, maybe my computer is just messsed up, guess I'll have to download it on piratebay

[Anybody Thrilla]

And the Rhodes were retired forever, via countout.

[Poit]

McGuialcutter for the Win ! Tipsters for me!

That wasn't the McGillicutter. He won with the hangman's facebuster.

[Innovator]

I reallly want Rollins to sell a bionic elbow

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I cannot find a stream anywhere. I checked the old ones, maybe my computer is just messsed up, guess I'll have to download it on piratebay

Didn't Ryan Clark post a stream on the homepage and say it's the one he uses?

[Poit]

Didn't Ryan Clark post a stream on the homepage and say it's the one he uses?

That sounds like a terribly stupid thing to do, unless it's the wwe.com stream.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Dustin really should have come out as the Natural. He's a son of a son! and a Sonofagun.

[Innovator]

King dropping Toby Keith

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did they just say that JBL is the GM of NXT?

DREAM IS ROLLING HIS SLEEVES UP

God damn, could have been the best moonsault Codys done

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hahaha, what the hell???

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah happened 2 weeks ago I believe.

[slik]

That sounds like a terribly stupid thing to do, unless it's the wwe.com stream.

It isn't the wwe.com stream


http://www.tpww.net/2013/10/ex-wwe-creative-heads-new-gig-revealed-details/

[Anybody Thrilla]

Could've been the best 'moonsault' Dustin's done, too.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I love Seth Rollins on the apron.

[KIRA]

digging the pink gloves

[Innovator]

I wish Riley was calling this match, it would remind him of when the Miz fired him from being his second

[Big Vic]

When ever Cole says someone "was a champion in there own right" that means he doesn't think they were very good

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It isn't the wwe.com stream


http://www.tpww.net/2013/10/ex-wwe-creative-heads-new-gig-revealed-details/

delete this. Don't contaminate the forum with Ryan Clark's crimes.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cody with a muscle buster? Never thought I'd see that.

[Innovator]

MUSCLEBUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hahaha hat throw.

[Innovator]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[KIRA]

MUSCLE BUSTER!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wooooooooo

[Emperor Smeat]

Amazing match and amazing Cross Rhodes done by Cody.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well that was pretty fun.

[Innovator]

Amazing Crossrhodes

[Impeccable]

What a pop! Brilliant finish!

[Impeccable]

Cross Rhodes was well sold!!!

[Cool King]

I really enjoyed that match. :y:

[Theo Dious]

Damn that was good.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Dusty: That's a paddlin' Ambrose.

[Theo Dious]

lol Finlay sighting.

[Innovator]

DEAN MALENKO SIGHTING

[Anybody Thrilla]

And now all of the locker room gets a PPV pay check. This really is good for business.

[Cool King]

MALENKO!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

KAITLYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Anybody Thrilla]

DEAN MALENKO SIGHTING

It's pronounced "Stinko Malenko".

[KIRA]

Awesome MATCH!

[Lock Jaw]

Great match. Great crowd reaction. Feels like the end of a PPV.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The poster makes sense now. Guess it wasn't intentionally racist.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Tensai is pretty good in this role.

[KIRA]

R-truth is good at that.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fantastic bout, great storytelling from everyone involved.</font>

[Lock Jaw]

I think the Rhodes are the ones to take the tag titles off of the Shield.

[Innovator]

That match almost made me forget about the Giants being 0-5

[KIRA]

Legends of Mid-South wrestling..WANT.

[Lock Jaw]

Can't help but wonder if any of the fans are doing the Bray Sway to the music in this darkness.

[Lock Jaw]

Kane's gotta be returning during/after this, right? They wouldn't have a completely pointless match on a PPV, would they?

[#1-norm-fan]

Kane's gotta be returning during/after this, right? They wouldn't have a completely pointless match on a PPV, would they?

A pointless match on a PPV? NEVER!

Random Fandangoing

[slik]

Bray Wyatt for Congress

[Theo Dious]

God these guys suck.

[Cool King]

Soooo what's the story behind this match again?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bray Wyatt hates black people.

[Theo Dious]

God these guys suck.

To confirm, I mean the Wyatt's AND the commentary team.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is it weird that I'm a mark for Luke Harper saying "yeahyeahyeah"?

[Cool King]

Sister Abigail could also be a Nun.

[#1-norm-fan]

TEDIOUS BEING CONTROVERSIAL! SNAP!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Pouuuuuuuuuuunce Period.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hahahahaha yesssssssssss

[Theo Dious]

UGH. That shit is so fucking lame.

[slik]

Wth

[Innovator]

Is it weird that I'm a mark for Luke Harper saying "yeahyeahyeah"?
Not at all, I love it

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think Bray is fairly slick in the ring.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

AWESOME

[ron the dial]

Is it weird that I'm a mark for Luke Harper saying "yeahyeahyeah"?
no way. it's so good. i can't explain it though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Harper plays his role so well. Just the looks on his face on so fucking creepy.

[Theo Dious]

LOVE the Bobby Heenan quotes on the HHH DVD promos.

[Skippord]

I'm also a big fan of the "yeahyeahyeah" also the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, but that's beside the point.

[Lock Jaw]

Slo-Mo Crab Walk

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yeah but can it really be about Triple H? Was he really saying it about Terra Rysing?

[slik]

I wonder if any wrestler has lost a contact during a match.

[Cool King]

Who or what are "The Buzzards?"

"Follow the buzzards"? I probably would if I knew more about them.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What else can he swing???????

[Cool King]

Lawler quoting that Simpsons video I posted earlier.

[Lock Jaw]

Look out, Fall-Out Boy!

[#1-norm-fan]

I think Bray is fairly slick in the ring.

He's pretty much awesome at everything.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

birds that show you where dead bodies are.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who or what are "The Buzzards?"

"Follow the buzzards"? I probably would if I knew more about them.

Buzzards feast on the flesh of the dead. If you're looking for the Wyatts, he suggests that's where you start.

[Cool King]

What else can he swing???????

Buildings.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I seriously laugh every time I see that clip of Ryback saying "THIS is what happens...to bullies! Hehehe".

[KIRA]

I wonder does it bother Triple H that hes not considered among the greats by alot of fans?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I wonder does it bother Triple H that hes not considered among the greats by alot of fans?

Probably.

[Lock Jaw]

Two guys who lose all their PPV matches. WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?!

[Anybody Thrilla]

I wonder does it bother Triple H that hes not considered among the greats by alot of fans?

He probably just thinks that the fans have no idea what they're talking about.

[Cool King]

birds that show you where dead bodies are.

I know what they are, I just wasn't clear on the context.

Buzzards feast on the flesh of the dead. If you're looking for the Wyatts, he suggests that's where you start.

Thank you. It all makes sense now.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's clobbbbbbbbbering time!

[Anybody Thrilla]

There's a chance that the person with the Pepsi sign is just a fan of the beverage, and the CM Punk tie-in is mere coincidence.

[#1-norm-fan]

I love Ryback and they need to start to make him look like some sort of a threat. Then again, Punk has been jobbing too much since losing the title though. I don't know who I want to win this. Luckily wins and losses don't matter though so it will come down to who wins the backstage coin flip taking place right now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Two guys who lose all their PPV matches. WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?!

Double Countout so neither wins

[Theo Dious]

I wonder does it bother Triple H that hes not considered among the greats by alot of fans?

Yeah I'm sure the guy who's gotten everything a person could ever want out of the business cares about what a bunch of basement-dwelling virgins think of him. I'm sure the guy who intentionally hitched his trailer to the least popular bunch of guys in the WWF locker room went into the business only caring about being loved.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hahaha, Ryback is so much better as a heel.

"What do I do?"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Double Countout so neither wins

The draw will be the main event so they can have Deadly Games at Survivor Series.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oddly enough, I find myself pulling for Ryback here.

[Lock Jaw]

"You Can't Wrestle" chants for Ryback. Who can actually, in fact, wrestle.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did that ref just say "god damn you, Ryback, let's go!"?

[Anybody Thrilla]

"You Can't Wrestle" chants for Ryback. Who can actually, in fact, wrestle.

They must think he's ACTUALLY Goldberg.

[Theo Dious]

Good God. Can Cole not keep a fucking storyline straight?????
