Strummer Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Harper wins IC title. I actually like this with a mad man with a title. I know they book the IC title like crap but this could be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvenStevenBooking Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I know titles aren't exactly what they used to mean, but it's funny seeing Harper get a title before Bray. Deserved too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I've seen a lot of big fat guys or jacked up muscle guys in pro-wrestling. Everyone from Earthquake, One Man Gang & King Kong Bundy to Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior & The Warlord. I have never seen anyone get as gassed as Ryback was tonight...and that's coming from someone that watched Davey Boy Smith! I thought he was going to pass out.

Coffey Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Man, I'm not feeling that Survivor Series main event at all. John Cena, Erik Rowan, Dolph Ziggler, The Big Show & Ryback - VS - Seth Rollins, Luke Harper, Mark Henry, Rusev & Kane. The "big surprise" was freakin' Erik Rowan? Can we replace Erik Rowan, The Big Show, Ryback, Mark Henry & Kane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvenStevenBooking Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 The "big surprise" was freakin' Erik Rowan? Can we replace Erik Rowan, The Big Show, Ryback, Mark Henry & Kane? Why take out three of the more interesting members and a guy who hasn't had a chance to show anything as a babyface yet? Switch Kane with Cesaro (which I think they may end up doing) and the match is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 that was confusing. Is it 6 on 5 now with Cesaro joining the Authority? Orton joins team Cena to even the odds? another confusing bit. Why did Steph try to blackmail Sheamus and Show when Henry and Rusev beat them up anyway? It made the promo pointless 10 minutes later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 also what exactly is the stip? Sometimes they say if the Authority loses they are "gone forever" but other times they say they'll just be regular "employees". Which is it?

cm funk Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 another confusing bit. Why did Steph try to blackmail Sheamus and Show when Henry and Rusev beat them up anyway? It made the promo pointless 10 minutes later It's not confusing. She tries to blackmail them. When it doesn't work she books them in a match against each other, adding the title shot stip to ensure they beat the hell out of each other. Then she sends Henry and Rusev out to destroy them when they're weakened. Divide and conquer. Terrrible RAW tonight though, book-ended by an awful Authority promo segment and an awful Authority & Cena promo to close things. They spend the whole show focusing on one match and one angle and it was dreadful and even with it being free I came away from this show less interested in Survivor Series. Kudos to them. And Cena is the absolute worst babyface ever. He sits around backstage while his teammates get taken out one by one, never once does he try to help them, but he's happy to come out at the end of the night and cut a self-righteous promo filled with kindergarten level jokes. And then Dolph and Show and the other guys who team with him look like complete geeks for doing so. Why have Cena's back when he's never going to have yours?

NintendoLogic Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 You know, giving away the Network for free for the one month the creative team openly doesn't give a shit might not have been the smartest move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pol Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 how were the matches? looks like a lot of on-paper good stuff on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I love how they mainly lost out on getting more money on their TV rights renewal because of the long held stereotype that WWE fans are all broke ass rednecks......and then they announce Larry the Cable Guy will host Raw next week.

cm funk Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 how were the matches? looks like a lot of on-paper good stuff on this show. Nothing worth going out of your way to see Harper-Ziggler was fine, but it was an angle where Ziggler was attacked and took a briefcase shot pre-match, then the whole match was him fighting from underneath and kicking out of some big offense from Harper before losing clean. Then post-match he gets curbstomped.....and is back out at the end of the show.....which just highlights how shitty and inconsistent their booking is Sheamus-Show was pretty decent. Crowd was DEAD at the start after a dreadful Steph promo segment to set up the match (and it being the 2+ hour mark where crowds always die). They got the crowd somewhat into it with a lot of big bombs being thrown back and forth, and then it's a fuck finish where they get destroyed by Henry & Rusev 4 vs. 4 tag was fun and the best match of the show, but really just a warmup for the 4 way tag at Survivor. Mizdow was the most over guy on the entire show....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 After tonight and especially with the ending angle I'd be pretty shocked if the Authority don't win on Sunday. Plus with the announcers hammering home how it's the last time we'll see Stephanie and Hunter on Raw you know it's not happening. More likely another heel victory to end a WWE PPV. Hunter and Steph have been in so many segments lately that they are sorta killing the crowds a bit. Neither is really getting the same reactions they did for most of the year. A break for their characters wouldn't hurt but I really don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with anything you said, but the Authority winning again would really push this close to "WCW never gets its win against the nWo" level.

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I've a scary feeling that the Authority loses on Sunday, thanks in no small part to Rusev walking out on the team. Then, the next night on Raw, Rusev and Lana are doing their usual shtick, when Triple H comes out, says he's still got a wrestling contract and the two brawl, which leads to Trips being the first to pin Rusev. An Austin/Angle post-Survivor Series 2001 reset. That's my worst case scenario. Second worst case is the Authority just winning and things staying the same.

Perhaps I was exaggerating a little, but seeing HHH and Steph come out and bury the whole roster week after week, having babyfaces get beat up with no one coming out to save them is starting to look mighty familiar.

The movie itself sounds like a baaaaaaaaaad idea, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
