WWE TV Week April 20 - 26

[goodhelmet]

RAW has begun

[Bierschwale]

I think that Hunico has become the most-unfairly shit upon guy on the roster in a while, which is kind of astounding.

[Jmare007]

That Tough Enough promo by HHH died a death. Crowd couldn't give less of a fuck.

[Strummer]

Like I said last week a whole summer of Stephanie screaming at Kane while Rollins runs from him. At least Noble was awesome in that segment talking into his wrist

[Strummer]

Lol Slater! That was fantastic!

[Timbo Slice]

Well be interesting to see what new finish Rollins comes up with since the curb stomp has been banned.

[goodhelmet]

When and why was the Curb Stomp banned?

[Strummer]

Stephanie on Jericho's podcast. That should be interesting

[Jmare007]

When and why was the Curb Stomp banned?

 

Report from wrestlezone today. Not sure if there's any other source but I'd take it with a grain of salt.

[Jmare007]

Stephanie on Jericho's podcast. That should be interesting

 

I wouldn't expect anything more than a PR fest. Steph can only say something interesting if she's being lead or provoked by the interviewer, don't see Jericho doing that at all.

[Strummer]

So looks like Steph will be returning to TV next week. I guess the Eisenhower deal wasn't as long as expected

[Strummer]

Also the Steph Jericho interview will be going up against the nfl draft. Good luck with that

[Strummer]

So Wyatt seems to be talking about Ryback in his promos. Well looks like Bray is officially dead as an upper tier type guy

[Strummer]

I could have sworn they were trying to turn Hunter babyface tonight.

[The Chief]

Man, I'm pretty bummed I already bought tickets for a WWE house show in Binghamton when they just announced they'll be running NXT in Albany the week before.

 

On the plus side, I haven't been to a show since Simon Dean was feuding with Bobby Lashley so I'm long overdue

[Johnny Sorrow]

^{I love this guy,}

 

[sek69]

I could have sworn they were trying to turn Hunter babyface tonight.

 

 

He seems to want to have two different characters, evil Authority bad guy rassler Triple H and WWE CEO Paul Levesque. Paul was doing the promo tonight and it seemed like the crowd didn't know how to react to it. Maybe he got too used to the NXT crowds accepting him as the good guy executive.

[conker8]

Any good match from last night ?

[WashingtonFB]

So they actually banned the Curb Stomp?

[El-P]

That Tough Enough promo by HHH died a death. Crowd couldn't give less of a fuck.

 

Tough Enough ? Really ? Why would anyone give a fuck, considering how useless it's been proven to be over the years ? How creatively dead are those guys ?

[cm funk]

Any good match from last night ?

 

Lucha Dragons and New Day was a lot of fun and the best match on the show IMO

 

Ambrose and Harper was entertaining but just a brawling setup to the street fight at the PPV

 

Seth and Dolph was fine but nothing we haven't seen before with those two

[goc]

So Wyatt seems to be talking about Ryback in his promos. Well looks like Bray is officially dead as an upper tier type guy

I'd push Ryback over Wyatt 100 times out of 100.

[The Chief]

The handling of Wyatt is just bizarre. Wasn't the point of him losing to Undertaker to give him a rub from a main eventer? Because wins and losses don't matter, he's a bigger star now simply by breathing the same air as Taker, right? So now he's back to doing the exact same thing but instead of talking about Taker he's talking about Ryback or Orton or whoever. We don't even mention the Taker stuff.

 

Can he just go away for six months?

[cowboy hats]

A six month absence would set him up very well to return as a hologram at Hell in a Cell. Good idea, The Chief.

[sek69]

So they actually banned the Curb Stomp?

 

 

Per Dave they didn't outright ban it, but it's more of a semantics thing and he's not going to be doing the move anymore. My guess is they probably figured it might cause bad PR to have the WWE champion stomp a guy's head for a finish in the Concussion Lawsuit Era we're currently in.
