WWE Week of April 6 - 12

[Matt D]

I'm not even sure how they could run the mizdow act as a face. Maybe he could be Cena's mascot. Or part of a face tag team where he apes what's happening to his partner. Doing Miz's moves and putting on the sunglasses doesn't cut it.

[Exposer]

Looks like it will be Big Show-Reigns at Extreme Rules. That KO punch set-up was awkward as hell.

[goodhelmet]

Yep... Reigns vs. Big Show

[Strummer]

Reigns already beat him clean tonight. I guess the gimmick match will be the "sell"

[goodhelmet]

Hate to bring up the Main Event podcast again but I was dismissed outright when I informed those guys that was the program planned coming out of Mania for Reigns. Oops.

[Strummer]

One week later and the mania momentum is basically gone

Bryan v Barrett for IC title at Extreme Rules announced by WWE on twitter

[Johnny Sorrow]

Austin and San Antonio are very babyface friendly cities.

So Austin, the hippest city in the Country, is so cool they know "hijacking" the show is lame shit that other cities do to seem hip.

 

I really need to visit Austin.

[WashingtonFB]

I can't believe how poorly they're handling Reigns.

Oh I know.

Does anyone really think a guy in his first match should be competitive with the new World Champion? Especially one that's not over yet. Come on

[Fantastic]

Yep... Reigns vs. Big Show

 

Might as well stick Kane in there, make it a handicap and be done with it.

[Badlittlekitten]

The Neville match felt fresh and unexpected. I'm shocked that someone would use the Kevin Dunn Conspiracy to shit on it. This wasn't Charlotte Flair. Neville had a competitive match where he got his shine (yes he did) and the crowd ate it up. He was put over as a future prospect that can go toe to to with the world champion. Made both look credible and the champ came out of it with extra prick heat.

 

They need to do a hot, top of the hour Miztv segment where Mizdow gets to show his comedy chops with Miz delivering a beat down. The feud is in danger of fizzling out.

 

I'm enjoying the new directions of Sheamus, New Day and the Prime Time Playas so far.

 

Gosh Stardust is crap. I like the open challenge idea but Cena's looked rotten the last couple of weeks and the challengers haven't helped.

 

Fairly decent show for such a depleted roster. Crowd was awesome.

[clintthecrippler]

I seriously dont understand how a match where a new wrestler gets to show off some signature moves, gets put over on commentary by JBL, and only doesnt pull off his finisher because of outside interference is a "squash match."

Meltzer said they had a bad house last night in terms of ticket sales which is not a good sign. So who stayed home... the cool hip Austinites that are as cool as you claim they are... or the family friendly crowd that cheers everyone and that you love so much. You can't have both.

[jcmmnx]

I thought it was weird as hell that Cena had such a hard time beating Stardust. I'm not sure it took Cena that much effort to beat Rusev. Also Cena needs to stop yelling out spots from across the ring. They tried to repeat Mania with Show playing Brock, and it came off about how you would expect.

 

I was pretty surprised at that NXT chant Neville got from such a casual crowd. It was a good showing for Neville I think he'll be a solid edition to the mid card as I'd rather see him in random no build matches than Ziggler. The women's match was putrid. The NXT women coming up have their work cut out turning this division around.

It was more of a joke than an actual theory. Lol

[goodhelmet]

No, normally it would be taken as such but Austin has some of the douchiest cringe inducing crowds at indy shows i have ever been to (Pete can back me up on this) and I laughed at you saying it was the hip crowd going all YAY! when Austin's hip crowd fucking blows.

[The Man in Blak]

Did Stardust just stop caring after the Brotherhood heel turn? Is there something going on behind the scenes? He was fairly sharp in his first few weeks with the gimmick but, outside of the post-match promo at Fastlane, Cody has totally out of sorts for a while now. The way that WWE abruptly derailed the Goldust feud is really odd too.

[(BP)]

Cody is emphatic that he wasn't interested in a Goldust program on his non-WWE Twitter. He seems invested in the gimmick based on the Mr. Sinister entrance gear he came up with. I just think he thought it'd be cool to work differently as Stardust, but it's just not coming across well.

I thought the first match as star dust was actually pretty cool as he had totally changed his move set. It was great for one night. the problem is that his entire utility was as a hot tag.

[The Chief]

So who was Bray Wyatt aiming at with his latest gibberish? Anybody on the roster besides maybe Cena has to be seen as a step down, right? Losing to Undertaker did nothing to elevate him. Anybody who thinks otherwise, I would like to hear your argument.

[tofu_chipmunk]

Per pwinsider and the Torch, Smackdown will be moving to USA in 2016. We will see how it affects show quality.

[sek69]

Funny how with Raw, Smackdown, and Tough Enough all airing it kind of makes USA the channel form of the WWE Network they were trying to launch originally.
