Put Khali in the mask for "better than Henry" comedy!

Also, this Jinder Mahal angle is just. . . Boring. He's annoying, and I dislike him. Not a heel dislike, but a "wtf is this ****" dislike.

Yeah, i dont think they ever worked out why people were meant to care about Jinder cos Khali wasnt particularly relevant as a face and they barely touched on the reasons why he has to work with Jinder. Its just ****ty boring writing and Khali aint helping Jinder get over at all.

HuniCara>MystiCara imo

ADR is confirmed the nuts, but man he really needs another finisher. He's gonna beat Cena at NoC ldo, but in order for him to get a legit win (although obv not clean) he needs to add another finisher; Cena is never tapping out to the armbar.

fake edit: altho putting him over by making Cena tap would be huge for him and will increase his crowd reactions, whether positive or negative.

If you can name the masked wrestler without looking it up you win this page of the thread.



Backbreaker turned into a gutbuster at 53 was sweet imo and the repeat knee strikes at 1:08 was something ive never seen before too that was really nice.

If Hunicara is botching as well, then Mysticara >>>> Hunicara. At least Mysticara gets some air on his moves, Hunicara is noticably slower and less athletic

i think i agree with both sides on ADR. that .gif moment had me smiling, but a lot of his promos are incredibly stale and boring. i think adr + ricardo = gold, adr + mic = yawn.

Mystico >>>>>> Hunico is how i've felt about it the whole time. General consensus itt is that they prefer Hunico though. Mystico is capable of doing some pretty amazing stuff in there but the guys wwe has to work with him can't really keep up or don't know how to take certai moves.

Slower definitely, but he is stronger and can do crazy back handsprings and **** that MystiCara can't do. Maybe it was just the camera angle but HuniCara looked like he got some ridiculous air on the crossbodies.

Hunico and Mystico's highflying abilities can't be compared. I'm a pretty big fan of lucha libre and Mystico was/is the most popular wrestler in all of Mexico. Hunico wrestled in Triple A as Incognito and from what I remember he was always stuck on the midcard because he himself couldn't keep up with Mexico's legit high flyers.

OK, but the WWE doesnt need a guy who can jump high and doesnt speak English. They already have Kofi. Hunico apparently does speak decent English so he is one step up and so far has a lower botch per match average.

Im not saying Hunico is much better, time will tell for him, but Mistico was a disaster as Sin Cara and i dont care how high he could jump during said disaster. I mean **** me he had three finishers and botched every single one of them at one time or another.

I really only fail to understand those who don't like ADR in the ring. He's just so clearly great at that. I can at least understand those who don't like him on the mic. He isn't over big everywhere, so there is room for criticism.

Spoiler for that previous vid is very, very intriguing. Looking forward to seeing if/how WWE use him in future, given that he clearly has a lot of in-ring ability.

Re: HuniCara/MystiCara discussion, I much prefer HuniCara, specifically because he is a masked wrestler who isn't just a poor man's Mysterio. Having a muscular, strong guy who can still do lucha moves but can also hang with the bigger guys and not play the 'underdog' role every match (which gets ****ing boring after a while) is a huge plus for WWE. Not all Mexican wrestlers are just like Rey and it's in their best interests to create Mexican characters who are multi-dimensional - ADR was one step on this road, and HuniCara is another. Trying to create another Rey would be a mistake, so I'm glad that's no longer a possibility.

He has been doing FCW work for a while now:

For a 4 minute match that Richie Steamboat vs Ricardo match was pretty good.

agreed. I saw him on like nxt or something a while back where he won without an offensive move and looked horrible, but now I realize it was just supposed to look that way. Dude has skill

LOLLLLL at Punk doing the weather! I'm assuming that's from the morning of SummerSlam, seeing as he still has the title.

I love the signoff, he could start using that on WWE TV - "...because I'm CM Punk, and you're not."

That's almost certainly gotta be from the morning of that Indianapolis Raw a few weeks after MITB. They focus in on Indiana weather at one point and Fox59 is the local affiliate here.

Richie Steamboat looks awesome from that match with Ricardo. I need to start watching FCW more often, seems like I'm missing out on some entertaining stuff.

I think WWE would have a problem if they did some kind of ADR/Ricardo team-up right now because Ricardo would be 1000x more over than ADR. Especially when the crowd sees how well RR can move/rassle.
