NintendoLogic Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Survivor Series elimination stips seem to never be enforced. Does anyone actually believe that Hunter and Steph will be gone? Survivor Series 01 had Steph gone for about a month and 03 had Austin gone for a week or two. Probably missing a few others Don't forget John Cena getting fired after the 2010 one and missing exactly zero weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 They certainly seem serious about Rollins as a top guy, but I can't stand him at this point. I watched the closing angle to tonights show and thought it was good, but it also depressed me because Rollins as a quasi-top face is reaching Evolution levels of "what else is on?" for me. I dont even care if the guy can work at this point, I don't want to watch him On the other hand I loved Rusev v. Sheamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survivor Series 01 had Steph gone for about a month and 03 had Austin gone for a week or two. Probably missing a few others My guess is that it leads to a couple of weeks of TV with HHH and Steph doing menial things like cleaning toilets, and then they'll do a final blow off to Ambrose/Rollins or Rollins/Orton or something with the stip that if Rollins wins then they get to be in charge again.

I dont even care if the guy can work at this point, I don't want to watch him I think that he's done very well in making himself the insufferable chickenshit heel outside of the ring, but he really doesn't work like a heel, or at least as someone who is as loathsome as his persona makes him. He's still too flashy and cute about things and throws out too much stuff that he should know are pure crowd-pleasers. He had to be told that doing the Three Amigos sequence was a bad idea, after all. Why is the guy who always considers himself the smartest person in the room diving off of a cage to help his heel partners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is the guy who always considers himself the smartest person in the room diving off of a cage to help his heel partners? Because it's gotten him this far and/or is all that he knows? I don't watch RAW regularly enough to have a strong opinion about Rollins as a heel. That said, I don't think he has to be your traditional chickenshit heel - he is just a very beat-able heel. The part that frustrates the faces, though, is that he only seems to be beat when the stakes are low. Since joining the Authority, he knows he has the support and the manpower to beat almost anybody on the roster, so he can take big risks in his matches since Kane will have his back if it doesn't work out.

cm funk Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Would they schedule a filming break for Orton so that he could be on SS? The pop for Orton as the surprise 5th member of Team Cena (ala Bryan at Summerslam that one year) would be massive, and it's in St. Louis no less. The pulling him from the advertising for Survivor Series feels like a bait and switch, because with this hot angle they've crafted they'd be insane to not have that happen. They also teased Ryback as a possible member of Team Cena, but right now it looks like Cena/Ziggler/Show/Sheamus/Orton. I like the way that match is shaping up Really good RAW this week IMO. Great closing angle. Fun matches. And guys were busting their asses. When was the last time you saw two guys bleeding hardway on RAW? I don't expect WWE to get a flood of complaints for the little bit of blood from Cesaro and Orton, so maybe they can stop treating it like a little blood is the end of the world? Hell, you see more blood in football and basketball games than you do in WWE at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I liked Rusev vs Sheamus but it would have been so much better in front of a crowd that hadn't already been burnt out on 4 hours of wrestling at that point. I understand the reason they wanted to put it on after Raw as a Network Exclusive but the dead crowd hurt it a lot for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I had caught Tyson vs Sheamus earlier in the night and it amazed me just how bored the crowd looked when on camera. It didn't seem like any of them wanted to be there at all. Also, I really wish they'd do something more with Big E. They should use him for comedy. I know he's huge, but he's also pretty funny. Maybe they could make him Miz-E and have him out there with Mizdow doing the same act. The visual difference would probably be pretty funny.

goc Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 The Mizdow gimmick doesn't have a whole lot left in the tank I don't think there's any reason to add another person doing the same schtick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlittlekitten Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's time to turn Sheamus now. The crowd didn't give a shit about him last night. Put him on team authority. I kind of enjoy Rollins as the cocky/chickenshit heel but the Authority needs someone with more credibility. And please, stop giving him a live mic. It's frustrating seeing Ambrose being pushed as a midcard comedy act. Not a terrible show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I don't think there is anything to judge about that crowd except that putting on big matches at the end of a 3 hour Raw, especially after that big beatdown angle on Randy Orton, is not that good of an idea even if it does give you a Network Exclusive.

rovert Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 So Big Show/Mark Henry was an atrocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Rusev vs. Sheamus was amazing. It is right up there as one of my WWE MOTYCs. This was good. I think I liked the Swagger match where Rusev sold his ankle. The crowd was way hotter for the Swagger match. Which makes sense since the Sheamus match was at the end of a long night. I'm also a big fan of limb work and seeing people sell. Sheamus vs. Rusev was a good high impact match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Just caught up with the show.I'm really glad they gave Henry vs Show so much time. They did the singles match now because they'll be on the Survivor Series main, I think. Really fun deliberate match with both guys giving when they should and taking when they should and everything looking like it had weight and meaning behind it. I loved the Big Show elbows to the back and the Toss-Flair-Off-The-Top spot was both unexpected and believable, since you'd think Show would be frustrated enough to up his game like that against an opponent that he knew he had to bring more against. I thought the whole thing really built in violence from sort of a clash of the titans beginning to the DQ on the floor at the end. Good match.
