goodhelmet Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Are all pole matches this bad? Or was it just easier to hide before when you didn't have announcers burying everything? One pole match ended up as the #1 Mid South match of the 1980s. Then again, it added tuxedos, a coal miner's glove, and a cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Didn't like Steph and Triple H acting like cool heels at the beginning. That is not what got them over in this role to begin with. That sounded like something Vince Russo would have scripted making fun of wrestling. Hopefully Orton v Cena is not the main event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 To Matt D: I don't want to see those two wrestle again. I'm just picturing Cena with hilarious cut off arms on the tux, like Fred Flinstone or something, and Ambrose with a monocle he got somewhere.

hammerva Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 The only other pole match worth a crap was a Flag Match on RAW in 1997 between the Harts and I think Taker, Austin, and Mankind. That was mostly because the crowd was going ape shit on the Canada stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Any news on Daniel Bryan's condition? Set to be back in December for the TLC PPV. Bryan and Reigns should be back at the exact same time. There's thought of delaying either of their returns until the Royal Rumble. Barrett will back at that same time frame too. RR would be a better idea, if just to give them more time to heal. So is he 100% now? I really thought, from what I was reading, that he might be finished. I never really got why people were thinking that. There were complications in his recovery but I never sensed a "he might be done" vibe in any of his interviews after the injury or any of the reports about him during that time. http://www.sescoops.com/exclusive-update-daniel-bryans-health-future-wwe/ Bryan is seeing no improvement with his arm. Backstage at Monday’s RAW from Atlanta, a lot of the talent was talking about the fact Bryan may be getting the “Tommy John Surgery" - ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, which is a surgical graft procedure in which the ulnar collateral ligament in the medial elbow is replaced with a tendon from elsewhere in the body”. The typical recovery for Tommy John Surgery is 6-12 months depending on the physical activity the athlete is involved in. It is still not known if he will ever wrestle again, as this injury, prevents him from being cleared to wrestle. WWE’s creative team is still working under the assumption that Bryan won’t be back in action any time soon and are not factoring him into any creative plans.

cm funk Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hopefully Orton v Cena is not the main event It will be. Orton spelled it out when petitioning for the match, "I want the loser in the main event in HIAC" I enjoyed the show. 4 solid-good 2 segment matches in the 3 way tag opener, Orton-Ziggler, Rollins-Swagger and Rusev-Show. It was just a straightforward show with a lot of wrestling and minimal nonsense. I also thought the crowd was pretty good for the most part. It wasn't beginning to end heat, and they lost steam in the third hour as RAW crowds always do now, but they were hot for a lot of stuff. I also didn't mind them doing Cena-Ambrose here. Was hoping for more of a match before the shenanigans, but oh well. Both guys are going to be wrestling in long HIAC matches at the PPV, having them go out and try to do a show stealing opener probably wasn't the best idea when Cena is already banged up. And according to Meltzer the idea was they didn't want to do a PPV without an advertised main event and co-main event. Not like it really matters that much with the Network, which is why it also doesn't really matter that they aren't doing Cena-Ambrose at the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russellmania Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Cena/Orton in the Cell is such a stupid main event though. I mean nobody on earth wants to see those 2 wrestle again and there is no build and nothing at stake so why should they be fighting in the most violent WWE match?

Ugh, I just give up moaning about the booking of these two now. It's got to the point that it's beyond tiresome. You could book them in a "Poochi Went Back to his Home Planet" match at this point where the loser would legit be strapped to a rocket and sent off Earth and I wouldn't show interest.

Timbo Slice Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Justin Roberts released. Ever since the Fink retired, WWE just hasn't found a good ring announcer at all.
