goc Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I don't get Sandow or the love for him. Like I understand that he was over being Fake Miz but not every act that gets a good reaction means "this is main event material!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 The friends and roomies here who watched WWF in the eighties are loving the Mega Powers 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodySave Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 To be fair, "Macho Mandow" and "Axelmania" gimmick will get a better reaction from live crowds than Damien Sandow & Curtis Axel themselves, but......god damn. Just god damn. Where can this go after a couple months, tops? Â I can't believe Sandow finally fighting back against Miz at Mania wasn't the moment he didn't just return to Damien Sandow as a babyface. Â But, yeah, these gimmicks are designed for the ex-fan parents of kids in the crowd and to delight a drunk me at a live event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I will give Axel credit for at least trying to live the gimmick with the blond hair and mustache. Sandow looks like he got his gimmick from Party City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I think if they keep them together it's not going to be good for Sandow because Axel is doing the "tribute" thing way better than him right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 The Mega Powers vs. ASCENSION - Garbage but not as bad as I expected. This has nothing on Torito vs. Hornswaggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I love Axel in this whole post-Rumble run. Sandow I can do without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exposer Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 The Meta Powers vs The Ascension - WWE is approaching TNA levels with these impersonation gimmicks. Axel truly is an idiot for hulking up early. This match sadly was pretty much a squash with Ascension winning. Sandow was the most over act in the company just a little over a month ago. Now he's taking falls against fucking Connor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parties Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 There had to have been Dust Brothers matches that got better reactions than that. Hottest singles Stardust match maybe. Axel's gum-chewing take on Hogan is entertaining, but man, they need to cut bait on the Ascension. Bad use of all involved. Torito vs. Hornswaggle is a fine wine that only improves with age.

goc Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Main event spoiler: Rollins is about to be pinned, Kane comes in and chokeslames someone (everyone?) and puts Rollins on top for the pin. Then he quits The Authority on Raw and challenges Rollins for EC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ascension v. MetaPowers was inoffensive and really over. Feel bad for Sandow though. Probably wasn't destined to be a big star, but they could have done something with him considering how over he had gotten himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ok... best case scenario.. Kane told the office he wants to spend more time on the farm and we end this Rollins experiment early AND Kane leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just god damn. Where can this go after a couple months, tops? Â They're gonna get someone like Summer Rae or Emma to be Miss Elizabeth. Then they Mega-Powers will "explode" over jealousy of her.

I don't think you'll have long to wait for the 2nd part, I'm almost certain they are building towards Rollins "retiring" Kane once they actually wrestle.

Dylan Waco Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 They have to do a Kane v. Rollins singles match at this point. Honestly it should have been on this show and the other three guys should be in a triple threat to determine the number one contender.

Â I kind of predicted early into the Mizdow thing that he was going to die off as soon as he stopped being Fake Miz. I mean there were months of people speculating/fantasy booking what to do with him after the split with Miz and none of it was ever more detailed than "make him a serious character and give him a midcard belt" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Because they killed him dead. Â He should have won the Andre Battle Royal. If not that he should have beat Miz. If not that they should have had him do the Cena open challenge gimmick and have a strong tv match which he has done with Cena before. Instead they deliberately murdered him.

goodhelmet Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 God I hope so. Remember at WM 28 when Taker and HHH and HBK looked out at the crowd like they were done and we didn't need to see them anymore? Remember how Mania 30 felt like a new blood Mania. Won't you tell me... where have all the good times gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I know everyone is sick of him but Kane vs. Roman Reigns from this past SD was really fun. Best Kane match in I don't even know how long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodySave Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I haven't given much of a damn about Kane in over 15 years...but I'll damned if I haven't been enjoying rebellious, fiery, corporate-man babyface Kane. I actually look forward to an eventual Kane vs Rollins battle. The conflict between them has been built really well. Â I assume it will be at Elimination Chamber because the World title match isn't the main match on that event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 As fun as it may be, I find it hard to care about Ziggler vs. Sheamus, because they're both stuck in the same position month after month - especially Ziggler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parties Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 They have both EC and Battleground in the next four weeks - Rollins/Kane can be blown off at the first and set up a new title program for Battleground at that point. I'm more interested in who they think will be ready for the MITB briefcase eight weeks from now. You should be able to build anyone in eight weeks, but as of now I'll say Rusev with Ambrose as the backup plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
