The Power Rasslers
 

I'm talking about Ryback, Goldberg, Warrior, Diesel.... the unstoppable babyface force that topples countless opponents before being matched with a cunning usually smaller heel that finds a way to scam their way over the giant to victory.

For Ryback we have Punk, for Goldberg you had Raven, for Warrior you had Rude and Savage, for Diesel we saw many great matches with HBK and Bret Hart. But all of these superstars were squash match spectaculars. And to tell you the truth I've never had much of a problem with this type of booking.

We the internet marks usually love our work rate champions, the Jericho's, Punk's, HBK's etc... But they cannot exist without their giant powerhouse counterparts.

The reason I bring up this point is to discuss Ryback, who obviously has squashed the majority of the WWE undercard and any local scum who is brave enough to take a couple hundred to be devoured by the monster. Watching TPWW throughout the years we seem as a collective group to constantly bring the rain of hate for these kinds of workers and the matches they provide. It's all apart of the story of the "event" and every match has to be booked differently to give a feeling of a great live show. Ryback is a part of the formula.

Years later people seem to have a nostalgic respect for both The Ultimate Warrior and Goldberg, for the memories we all have of short squash after short squash. But, these seemingly talentless muscle heads provide us with reason for celebration and mark out moments. We all marked out for Goldberg's title victory, Warrior reaching the prize at WM 6, and the news on Raw of Big Daddy Cool defeating Bob Backlund in 8 seconds.

Be patient with Ryback, if history shows, this is a story that builds to a climax, but where do you see the end of this story starting?

On Raw when Cena announced his arm was ripped, and Ryback replaced him in the main event, we had a Wrestlemania stare down, along the lines of HHH/Undertaker. I feel the story of Ryback won't begin with a title victory, but a domination of John Cena at Wrestlemania. For years I have hoped WWE would turn John Cena at Wrestlemania in the natural way that Bret Hart was forced to turn... and literally in the match with was done with the moves. After Bret beat the shit out of Austin and he didn't give up, he attacked his leg and shoved Shamrock out of the way. If WWE went this route with Ryback how would you script it? Or if you disagree with this plan, name your own.

dat ass

Power Wrestlers > Workrate queers every day of the week.

Raven beat Goldberg?

is pretty nasty.

She just sat in some cottage cheese. Not her fault.

Ryback has me "marking" everytime he appears now.

Those three you just mentioned drew bigger ratings and buys with smaller guys, and delivered better matches. You don't know what you're talking about blood.

SNLfunnyguy is throwing down the gauntlet!

I heard that in heaven, once you pass the pearly gates, there is a huge wrestling ring, Jesus is ringside and Kevin Nash big boots vanilla midgets for everyone's enjoyment.

I suspect Vince would cream himself if he signed "Egyptian Popeye" Moustafa Ismail, now hailing from Massachusetts:

Is it just a side job for Nash or did you bury him in your yard and this is just your way of letting us know he won't be coming back?

Big Daddy Cool is moonlighting in heaven as favor to get Scott Hall in when he goes out in the next few years.

I believed everything about that, except the word 'years'.

Then St. Peter will turn on Jesus and The nHo will be born...

No but in Goldberg's US title days it was very believable that Raven was going to scam his way to a win.

yea, that needs to be power wrassled :lol:

I've always enjoyed the power wrestlers/big man wrestlers more than the smaller lighter guys. I am not sure why, I guess its because of the spectacle of it all, but I pretty much always would've rather seen two hosses like Tensai and Kane go at it rather than smaller guys like a Guerrerro or a Punk.

This is now the last sentence on the list of Most Common Sentences Ever Written Using The Phrases "Nash" and "Bury".

I'd much rather watch a match between Guerrero and Punk and I think there's room for matches like that. They only belong in the main event on the rarest of occasions though. "Sports entertainment" should aim to be larger than life and guys like Hogan, Taker, Andre, etc. accomplish that. I'll throw in the Rybacks and Goldbergs with them. But I would still never wanna just not have guys who are just athletic and experts in technical wrestling. Just mainly on the card somewhere below the "spectacles".

In my days of wrestling in Parson's Wrestling I used to wrestle a power style because I am in general a much more strong man than I am a fast man. One can say I am a power house.

One just did.

Rod-ney Killa clap clap clap clap clap. Is that what your fan chants? On a scale of 4 to 18, how would you rate your workrate?

Were you fluffy or the grim sweeper?

I've been told I don't play up my size enough in the ring. Maybe you can teach me how to be a real power rassler :yes:

Ryback and TPWW poster Gertner are secret gay lovers

Its a hardly a secret and it's not gay if you're giving it, that's prison rule 101.
