goodhelmet Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I was going to go even more extreme and say at worst a MOTYC and at best, a MOTD contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I was going to go even more extreme and say at worst a MOTYC and at best, a MOTD contender. I'm trying to temper my thoughts on this, but if this is as good as it looks on paper and from Tim's initial report, Cesaro is almost assuredly going to be my number one worker of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Waco Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 You realize Negro Casas v Rush might happen next month? They have a match tomorrow night actually, but last I heard the theory was that hair v. hair didn't seem likely for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slasher Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Don't sleep on the Rhodes Brothers vs Real Americans on Smackdown tonight. Little barn burner. Fabulous 3Birds: http://www.wwe.com/videos/the-fabulous-3bi...2-2013-26165900 I saw it on tv. Liked it but thought the ending sucked a bit. I didn't care if the Real Americans won or not, but it felt like the Real Americans really mauled the Rhodes, only to lose completely clean after too short of a babyface comeback. It said to me Swagger is nearly worthless which may have been the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I liked the match, but it is actually kind of sad how much better Dustin is than Cody. Even worse is that the fans clearly know it as he is vastly more over than Cody and it is obvious in all of these matches. I am sure this will come across as looking for something bad to say, but honestly it is jarring how big the difference in the Rhodes Brothers matches is when Dustin is in v. when Cody is in.

Slasher Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Alright, I am sure Dustin is just a naturally better worker than Cody but let's not discount the... what is it, 15+ years advantage of working. Maybe Cody will be that crisp when he is 44 years old or however old Dustin is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Dustin was a lot better at Cody's age than Cody is now. Honestly I think Cody is the most hot and cold guy in wrestling. Every now and again he will have a period where he looks like he is starting to get it...and then it's like he falls off a cliff. The normal thing to do here is to blame WWE booking and I'm sure that's a factor, but in the case of Cody I think it's as much him as it is the writers. I have liked him as part of this team with his brother more than any other time in his career and even still the disparity is so noticeable that it can be distracting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I think Cody's actively better at switching his stuff up than he was even three months ago. Really, where the lack of Goldust was felt the most to me was in the six man with Rey and the Usos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin was always a great worker but it is both awesome and shame that he is putting up what is his best stretch of week to week input at a point where he probably caught fire unintentionally and the real life "Authority" is passively looking for a way/reason to replace him with someone younger or someone they would feel more comfortable investing in long term.

Loss Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I caught Smackdown last night and thought the exact same thing about the differences in the Rhodes brothers. Swagger also looked pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I feel like we will actually get that Goldust/Cody Rhodes match at WrestleMania now. Although I'm not sure I really want to see Goldust as a heel at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Ridge Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I'm not much enthusiastic about going to Survivor Series tomorrow night. People seem to be practically giving away their tickets on Craigslist. Having only five matches announced may make for the Elimination match getting some really good long time though. But that's really all I care to watch. I'd probably get good and wasted beforehand for the show but then remembered I'm sitting in the first row of the balcony. Don't want to end up moonsaulting into the Loge below during the Divas match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I know Cena is back, but just having him in a forgettable match with ADR isn't going to help the fact that this PPV is headlined by Big Show and Randy Orton. The last few PPVs have all had pretty weak line-ups but this one is the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Which is weird because Big Show got over as a guy people wanted to see snap and KO the heels into hell. It is like the WWE misfired on attempting to reconcile both the fans' interest in the babyface vs the big main event heel program and their desire to have that guy be a bigger than life presence. Too bad for them. Maybe they shouldn't have killed Daniel Bryan dead and only give him a weak concession of taking out Shawn Michaels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonsault Marvin Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Dish Network has been running an odd promo for Survivor Series on one of its preview channels over the weekend. The first ten minutes is part of a 2008 match with Michaels, Mysterio, Khali, and Cryme Tyme vs. JBL, Kane, MVP, the Miz, and Morrison. Then they run the Wyatt Family commercial for this year's show. Then they show ten minutes of the Rock and Cena vs. Miz and R Truth from 2011. I would think WWE could have put a package together to actually promote this year's show, but I guess they don't really care, or they want to trick people into thinking that they will see stars from the past.

anarchistxx Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 This genuinely looks like the worst Survivor Series card of all time. I've not watched any of the buildup but on paper the show looks horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they put the effort into Survivor Series that they did for that, and making fun of AJ's dehydration on Monday night, it might be a good show.
