EricR Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Boy this was a perfect example of why I'll never attend a TV taping. I still love house shows, but god tapings are just the most boring things. Paige was shown getting into the ring at 10:14. Then a commercial, then a long Sting history. Bellas didn't get into the ring until fucking 10:24!!! And then the match got 15 seconds of time. That is unreal. Literally 10 minutes of ring entrances and waiting around for a complete non match.

El-P Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I appreciate the fact WWE is thinking about their deaf audience by having everyone pointing to the Wrestlemania sign. Thanks for making sure everyone gets the obvious. I enjoyed the Rusev Cena segment the most, although it really gets into jingoist territory now, with the gold ol' "don't talk shit 'bout 'merica !". But yeah, Lana and Rusev are the only ones that are booked exactly like they should. Did I just see Tony Schiavone on WWE TV ? That Sting video was actually quite good. Thank God, Randy Orton is still as boring as ever, and the booking doesn't do him any favour either. And please, just get Stephy, HHH, Kane and Big Show out of there now. Please. Let's see, I guess the two matches I can enjoy for WM are Cena vs Rusev II and probably the tag team title match (maybe turning into a 6 men/women ?). The rest of the card… Wait, what is Daniel Bryan supposed to do anyway at this point ? I feel like I'm back watching WCW in 99, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chief Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 So Dave opened the latest WO show by saying Brock was in the building for Raw but "something happened" and decided not to do whatever was planned for him. I love Brock as much as the next guy, but I swear there's 13 year old girls who aren't as sensitive as he is some times. How about finding out exactly what happened before likening him to a 13 year old girl? With how awful creative is and with how WWE acts like all of these guys are replaceable, I find it refreshing when a guy has enough balls to stand up for himself. That's if it had anything to do with creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steenalized Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 On the last reaction show there was talk about who has the clout and the willingness to tell the WWE no. Cena has the clout for sure, but how often he vetoes ideas I don't really know. Brock has the clout and definitely has the willingness to do what he wants and make that clear to the WWE. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheapshot Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The thing is, unlike others, Brock can stand up because he has leverage. Do you think Wade Barrett is going to to Vince "nah mate, I'm not jobbing to R-Truth, as I could leave tomorrow and headline PCW"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Also, Brock doesn't seem to have kicked up a fuss since April '12, after Cena's little postmatch speech at Extreme Rules. I always get the impression he's happy enough to do anything booking-wise as long as the money keeps coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Wade Barrett is going to to Vince "nah mate, I'm not jobbing to R-Truth, as I could leave tomorrow and headline PCW"? They're awfully good at sending mixed messages to their talent. Reach up and grab brass rings and speak up for yourself and give ideas, except for when we don't care what your opinions are. I can picture the scenario, Writer: "So Brock, here's the creative for tonight. After a brief in-ring scuffle which you back down from, you're gonna be hiding from Roman Reigns backstage. He's gonna be chasing you around with a chair, looking in the catering area, locker room, etc, but you'll be hiding in a closet. We'll occassionally see you poke your head out and ask Heyman if Roman is still out there. When Roman finally finds Paul, he runs up and grabs him and throws him through the catering table, covering him with ketchup and mustard. Paul will scream your name for help but you don't come out until Paul stops screaming. You think Reigns is gone, but as you're attending to Paul, Roman comes back and then you run away but you slip on the ketchup and mustard..." Brock cuts him off "I ain't fuckin doing that."

cheapshot Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 They might (and rightly so) have the attitude of "well, if you can't up with anything better then shut up and do the damn angle", but then again, they might not. As it is WWE and they love contradictions/mixed messages/total headfuck decisions that don't show rhyme or reason on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjh Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Don't forget that Brock's contract is coming due. Any unflattering creative for Brock may not be coincidental. Same goes with the timing of Brock telling Vince to go f*** himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheapshot Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Might be a coincidence - but this happens the day after Frank Mir calls out Brock at the UFC Brazil show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Given the new UFC drug policy announced last week, maybe Brock Lesnar coming back to UFC isn't a sure thing. Although that policy could be complete bullshit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjh Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 So Dave opened the latest WO show by saying Brock was in the building for Raw but "something happened" and decided not to do whatever was planned for him. I love Brock as much as the next guy, but I swear there's 13 year old girls who aren't as sensitive as he is some times. I've listened to this now and it's clear that Dave was speculating that Brock decided not to do whatever was planned for him, as to what "something happened" was.

kaufman316 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Maybe Heyman advised Brock to be careful about damaging his brand, especially given what happened to The Rock at the Rumble - there are few things Vince loves more than to devalue talent on the way out.

sek69 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 That's assuming he's on his way out and not leveraging potential MMA interest as a way to keep Vince over the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchistxx Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Daniel Bryan really did his best to get Reigns over on Raw, what a tremendous promo. Fire and honesty and made you believe completely in what he was saying, having the crowd in the palm of his hand teasing a heel turn. That whole exchange was the best thing on WWE television all year, and RR is starting to look like a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Brock as much as the next guy, but I swear there's 13 year old girls who aren't as sensitive as he is some times. That's not what he said. He said 'something happened' and didn't want to speculate because people twist his words and report his speculation as fact. You are putting words into his mouth that he didn't say. All he knows is that he was there, was going to be on the show, and wasn't used. Orton was at shows for weeks and weeks and they kept delaying his return.....this could totally just be WWE booking on the fly as they often do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 apparently Brock's issue was financial and not creative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The company is so deep with quality wrestlers. They could run 3 tours like the 80's and have good matches up and down the card. The draw back is they don't have enough headliners to do 3 shows and draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Well it looks like they have found something to do with AJ and shocker it is against Stephanie McMahon. http://www.pwmania.com/aj-lee-calls-out-stephanie-mcmahon-over-how-wwe-treats-divas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 that's a hell of a way to start a program. I wonder if they will rush and have the match at mania. This feud was inevitable. It's obviously going to take up huge chunks of air time with Stephanie involved. The other women on the roster will be overshadowed for sure. She has to be salivating to the opportunity to shoot on Punk (if she will be allowed to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 The only thing keeping me from thinking this is an angle is no one in WWE ever says stuff like that towards Steph/Hunter/Vince on Twitter even in a kayfabe sense. Especially Steph, since she never lets the men get away with not being emasculated on Raw, let alone tiny ass AJ. Even Cena sucks up to the bosses on Twitter.

Strummer Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 if this is not a work then there is no way AJ can possibly come back, right? Still think it is a work but I seem to be in the minority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 but it's still kinda suspicious that AJ is due back soon. I assume she will be the friend Paige was talking about last night to battle the Bellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
