hammerva Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Gee what did Jim Ross say this weekend to get that reaction or just the usual crap. What did I miss? JBL was kissing up McMahon's commentary and Lawler for some reason asked how would you compare JR to Vince in commentary and said that Vince spoke English and it was like comparing ice cream to horse manure. Eventually Cole had to tell them to calm down. Not a huge deal just haven't heard one in a while
Stiva Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Gee what did Jim Ross say this weekend to get that reaction or just the usual crap. What did I miss? Lawler asked JBL how he'd compare JR's commentary to Vince's and he said "At least, Vince spoke English. That's like comparing horse manure to ice cream" and then topped it off with a shitty impression for good measure. Lawler calling Sheamus Italian too, man. The day they replace Lawler with Regal and JBL with, I don't know, some kind of oscillating fan, I'll be over the moon.
sek69 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Knowing JBL is the mouthpiece, maybe Vince is pissed JR is doing good business with his speaking shows. Or that there's a lot of people on tweeting about how the WWE Network made them miss JR on commentary.
C.S. Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 I'd say it's more because this made it onto TMZ. Vince McMahon -- CAUGHT SHARTING ON SMACKDOWN ... Says Jim Ross http://www.tmz.com/2014/03/03/vince-mcmahon-shart-smackdown-jim-ross/ J.R. is no longer playing the battered, abused housewife who comes back for more quite as much. He's starting to break free just a tad bit.
Dylan Waco Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 That Sheamus v. Christian match might be the best match I've ever seen get completely shit on. Sheamus is seen as a machine guy and is screwed in front of these indie smark fetish crowds.
tim Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 that match was actually damn good but it wasnt the right match to put on this RAW. with an atmosphere like this you don't want two upper midcarders in a not particularly interesting feud having a long singles match. unless it's part of a compelling angle with wrestlers the crowd feels very strongly about, keep it short and ideally in multi-man matches where things can keep moving and lots of signature spots can be thrown out to keep popping the crowd.
Stiva Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 That Sheamus v. Christian match might be the best match I've ever seen get completely shit on. Sheamus is seen as a machine guy and is screwed in front of these indie smark fetish crowds. Yeah, I loved it. Christian continues to find really cool ways to take other people's finishes. Do they keep HHH away from this crowd?
sek69 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Or it could be that they've done that match a million times in the last two weeks or so, and it's two characters fans have zero reason to give a shit about.
goodhelmet Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 They nearly won them over in the end. Also, when nearly every arena you run is giving you the same reaction, it no longer becomes an indy fetish crowd and it becomes the norm.
The Chief Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 That Sheamus v. Christian match might be the best match I've ever seen get completely shit on. Sheamus is seen as a machine guy and is screwed in front of these indie smark fetish crowds. Fuck this crowd and their ADD. Seriously, you're not the stars of the show. This is the same stuff that people shit on TNA audiences for and rightly so.
Steenalized Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Christian and Sheamus had a really good match. But yeah, wrong place, wrong time as far as getting a crowd response. Truthfully, I don't think anyone would respond kindly. No one cares about Christian and the crowds turned on Sheamus a while back
sek69 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 The internet turning on crowds is a real snake-eating-its own-tail phenomenon.
goodhelmet Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 There is one way to fix this whole crowd noise.
Dylan Waco Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Or it could be that they've done that match a million times in the last two weeks or so, and it's two characters fans have zero reason to give a shit about. They've had tv angles to set up there matches and have not gotten a reaction like this at all elsewhere. I love Cesaro, but his match with Big E was the epitome of throwaway trash and it got a huge response for obvious reasons
hammerva Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Huh interesting timing on this match. I was sure that would be a main event match
Dylan Waco Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 They nearly won them over in the end. Also, when nearly every arena you run is giving you the same reaction, it no longer becomes an indy fetish crowd and it becomes the norm. The idea that everyone gives those two that reaction is transparently wrong
Dylan Waco Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Keep in mind that even I don't particularly want to see a Christian v. Sheamus feud

The idea that everyone gives those two that reaction is transparently wrong Ever since Rumble, the crowd reactions in general have been hostile to the product and direction that WWE is going. Christian and Sheamus were collateral damage.
hammerva Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 watch Bryan and Batista go Broadway Does broadway include the time it takes for Batista to revive himself from his heart attack
sek69 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 HHH probably has such a huge boner while doing this promo.

The idea that everyone gives those two that reaction is transparently wrong Ever since Rumble, the crowd reactions in general have been hostile to the product and direction that WWE is going. Christian and Sheamus were collateral damage. Only some of the product. The crowds love everything with the Shield and Wyatts and Bryan. Orton, Sheamus, Christian, and others range from disinterest to hate.
