Steenalized Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Because it's a house show, Flair gets legend status, and punches really hurt. Notice that one punch put Flair down too.
Alucard Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Ric Flair busting open Bray Wyatt : http://cms.springboardplatform.com/embed_iframe/75/video/959477/wr011/wrestlezone.com/10 Was Triple H part of the angle or was he jumping in there because Bray was bleeding? Part of the angle. It was Cena vs Wyatt in a lumberjack match where Flair led 10 lumberjacks and HHH led 10.
sek69 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Ric was punching directly on Bray's eyebrow which is a time tested way to get accidentally-on-purpose hardway bleeding.
SteveJRogers Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Ric Flair busting open Bray Wyatt : http://cms.springboardplatform.com/embed_iframe/75/video/959477/wr011/wrestlezone.com/10 Was Triple H part of the angle or was he jumping in there because Bray was bleeding? He was advertized as Bray's second, with Flair in Cena's corner.
Fantastic Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Ric was punching directly on Bray's eyebrow which is a time tested way to get accidentally-on-purpose hardway bleeding. I believe this was Terry Funk's favored approach also.
Russellmania Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 seems like the idea was that HHH and Flair were in opposing corners, but once Bray layed hands on Flair, HHH flipped out and came to the aid of his mentor.
cm funk Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 I'd dig a CM Punk podcast and I'd like it if it wasn't wrestling centric. Sports....music.....punk culture....pizza....tv stuff.....whatever......it could be a really fun listen. I really enjoy the Jericho podcasts with metal guests and whatnot more than I do the ones with wrestlers. Same with Austin. Going a little more out there, I'm a fan of Joe Rogan's podcast, but I skip the ones where it's gonna be 2-3 hours of MMA talk. When he has scientists/nutritionists/journalists/political pundits etc on it's way more interesting I think Punk as a podcast host has strong potential As far as where he goes (if this is indeed happening).....I'd put even money on Nerdist. Him and Hardwick have gotten kinda tight due to him being on Talking Dead
Stiva Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 I dug Hollywood Miz' entrance attire but the term 'Money-Maker' has lost all meaning
sek69 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Oh man, Lana is so amazing in this segment. Biggest heat in a while and Swagger/Zeb didn't even have to say a thing.
Steenalized Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 This entire segment has been great, the match could be even better.
goc Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Would have never believed you if you told me Jack Swagger would be the massively over babyface coming out of the Real Americans breakup and Cesaro would be the one drifting aimlessly. I want Swagger to break out that red white and blue gear he had when he won MITB.
Strummer Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 that Lana/Zeb segment was incredible. This the most heat a WWE midcard angle has drawn in ages. the pop for Sting was pretty huge. Maybe that will motivate Vince to get a deal done
tim Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 That was the literal opposite of détente but I loved that segment. I don't care how blatant and obnoxious the patriotism schtick is, in fact, the more blatant and obnoxious the better for this kind of thing. In other news, Cesaro's heat is 100% dead and buried isn't it?
Matt D Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 He's going over at the PPV with a bunch of potential challengers, but he's going to have to start from the bottom in beating them all again.
Strummer Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 this crowd has not reacted to anything since the Lana/Zeb stuff.
tim Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 this crowd has not reacted to anything since the Lana/Zeb stuff. I was surprised at the pop for the Big E win. Honestly this sounds like a pretty game crowd. They're just not being given much to react to.
goc Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Were they supposed to come unglued for that Bella handicap match? Good booking gets reactions, weak booking doesn't. Richmond is a better wrestling town than anyone gives us credit for. Look at all the DVDVR guys from around the area, this is a wrestling hotbed damn it!
goodhelmet Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Well either Jericho is really really not over or the crowd is horrible.
The Chief Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Is it confirmed that Del Rio is non-renewing his contract? Because the dude stillwrestles his ass off. They have to be able to find something for him?
sek69 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 ...or the program with Wyatt isn't over. Doesn't seem like its something anyone wants to see.
Matt D Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Is it confirmed that Del Rio is non-renewing his contract? Because the dude stillwrestles his ass off. They have to be able to find something for him? Can he go back to CMLL or did he leave on bad terms?
Bierschwale Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Jericho is over to the point where he doesn't have to be interesting or good and will just absorb his opponent's heat, and I'm not sure that there's anything worse than that.
