goc Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Undertaker is coming to Comic Con . He's charging 75 for autographs and 80 bucks for a photo opp. Is that a normal price range for Comic Con?? It seems incredibly high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 That Brock video was awesome, I want to spend money on SummerSlam now and I already pay for the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 So apparently not only did we get a match where the finish was on a commercial but the entire match was during the commercial. That is some Stampede wrestling kind of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steenalized Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Maybe I'm in a great mood or something, but tonight's Raw has been excellent so far. RVD-Rollins is hanging around in the future like a dark cloud, but no real complaints otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Maybe I'm in a great mood or something, but tonight's Raw has been excellent so far. RVD-Rollins is hanging around in the future like a dark cloud, but no real complaints otherwise. I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Maybe I'm just in a pissy mood (like always) but I shut it off. Without DVR, being able to fast-forward commercials & shit, I just can't take it. This week it was really noticeable to me that the show is either on a commercial break or back from the break but shilling something. It's like one big, long 3-hour informercial. I can't do it.

The Chief Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 The Rusev/Swagger segments continue to be great without getting repetitve. And I'm somebody who normally hates the jingoistic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Ewiak Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 If Brie could talk at all, Steph/Brie could be a contender for Feud of the Year. And even then, Steph is dragging this to Top 5 of the year for WWE at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 As a wrestling fan, I should be upset that they are basically taking what was pointed out to them (ie "maybe you guys should promote the Network more now that you hung your future on it") and turned it into another Triple H troll point. Instead I just kept laughing at how it went from funny, to unfunny, then such a running gag it went back to being funny again. Anyone else start noticing how Total Divas as a show seems to exist in a Schroedinger's Cat dimension? Some things happening there are part of WWE kayfabe like recognizing Tyson/Nattie and Brie/Bryan as together, but not Nikki/Cena? They pimp the show so much it's starting to become awkward, especially since he hasn't once attempted to help his girlfriend. All I could think about with the Steph/Brie segment is how big an asshole Cena is in storyline that he can watch Nikki get laid out and not even run out to help.

Strummer Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Nikki turning on Brie is such an obvious finish now I'm wondering if they will change it up. As I stated a few weeks ago every line Steph says about Brie is true. Nikki *should* be pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditch Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 So why is Cesaro getting buried? Could be my fault for forgetting, I'm sure it was really well thought-out and logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Vince thinks he's boring, and apparently it's Cesaro's fault that it didn't get him over to pair him with Heyman while he cut promos about his other client beating the Undertaker.

Strummer Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Anyone else notice they toned down the language tonight in the Steph/Brie segment compared to the last few weeks? Wonder if they got any complaints from parents or something. Or maybe in means nothing and it returns next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I didn't read anything quite as negative as what sek said, just that they were waiting "until they needed him" to get him hot against since they apparently think they can only push Roman Reigns right now.

goc Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I think the most obvious answer, and it's been their thing with him all along: They like him but have no idea what to do with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man in Blak Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cesaro's been a dead man walking ever since Sheamus gave him a clown nose at Payback by insta-winning immediately after the Giant Swing. There was a fair amount of pushback here at the time, but I think you can trace a very noticeable decline in the crowd reaction to him after Payback, especially once he dropped the Swing altogether. They're going to have to rebuild him whenever (if?) they decide, in their infinite wisdom, to finally get behind him for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russellmania Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cesaro's decline has nothing to do with losing to Sheamus and everything to do with just generally being booked all wrong for much of his tenure in WWE. Losing to Sheamus after the swing doesn't even enter into the conversation IMO. Cesaro was losing heat way before Payback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eduardo James Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I like Cesaro a lot and think he's probably one of the top 5 wrestlers in the company, but Loss had an excellent point a little while ago: Cesaro was fine in that match, but he is also a guy that hasn't improved his ability as a heel in the past six months. I'm starting to think the upper midcard is the right place for him. Please don't read that to mean he shouldn't be protected, as I feel like in theory, that's a good spot on the card that shouldn't make for a bad career. It's more that his matches tend to be all about the spots and impressive feats of strength more than generating any type of emotion. Should they have taken the Big Swing away? Probably not. But if that was the only thing keeping him over, I'm don't think it was a completely bad idea to keep him where he is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russellmania Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 watch this video and tell me there's a legitimate reason this guy can't get over on TV: If they let him show half the personality he shows in this video on actual TV then they would have no problem getting this guy over. In fact this is a trend with WWE that keeps getting worse...in the last year all the best promos and vignettes I've seen have been either on the Network, Youtube, or even on a wrestler's personal instagram. All of this company's best material is ending up anywhere but on their stupid fucking TV shows. it's asinine. For all the shit everyone talks about how awful TNA is (and it *is* awful), WWE arguably squanders more talent than even TNA does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eduardo James Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 It may be just me, but when I watch the Internet segments, most come off as boring, bland or unfunny. Cesaro didn't come off as anything but "Generic Foreign Heel #3" in that clip. I could do without the travel show music too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
