WWE TV February 1 to 7

[Timbo Slice]

Didn't see a thread so I figured I'd start the new one.

 

Really looking forward to RAW ratings explanations on the Iowa Caucus and televising Super Bowl media day causing lower than expected numbers.

[conker8]

Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas are not here. Blackjack Mulligan is at the hospital.

Pray for him.

[Death From Above]

An opening segment with neither the authority or Roman Reigns? Am I watching the right show?

[Edwin]

That was good. I wish it was Kalisto vs. Rusev and not Del Rio.

[Strummer]

Did Reigns just imply that Stephanie was WWE champion? Why of course he did

[Death From Above]

The great contrast with Stephanie to me, is that when they actually do promos where people talk like normal people, she's one of the best in the company. It's such a different vibe than her Evil Witch stuff (which doesn't annoy me as much as some, but I get it).

[Strummer]

Lol Liilian said the Usos were Grammy award winning. Ha

[Death From Above]

Weird the WWE would call out Lillian on the Grammy flub, though it was funny.

[Strummer]

Oh man Vince replays it to bury her

[SteveJRogers]

A bit tacky to kayfabe Bo Dallas putting down some tracks when in reality he's home due to his family member's hospitalization?

[Strummer]

They are going the Daniel Bryan route with AJ

[Strummer]

Well no matter what happens tonight that Miz/AJ segment will be the talk of the show. Miz is underrated

[Death From Above]

That Miz segment is going to hit the whole love it or hate it range.

[hammerva]

So AJ is getting the "he is too southern" treatment I guess. If they are given Styles the Daniel Bryan treatment then he might as well jump ship or go to NXT because I don't know if he can be that patient

[sek69]

it really is a shame Miz figured out how to be a great heel long after he was pegged as a comedy geek.

 

Also JBL is officially way more irritating to me than heel Michael Cole ever was.

[hammerva]

It is like JBL is on a word count like a pitcher coming off of Tommy John surgery so he just picked the stuff he has been saying for the last 3 years.

[Edwin]

Aside from that Kalisto v. Rusev match, I'm uninterested enough to turn it off.

[thebrainfollower]

The Brie Bella losing streak snapped in the most surprising way I can think of. Unless this is killing time for Mania or something I'm lost as to the point though. Unless John Cena's magical surgery healing powers can be transferred during sex, I can't see Nikki coming back at WM which is where it looks like that would be going.

[FMKK]

Dolph Ziggler, who has been dead in the water for over a year, gets a clean win over someone who they should be protecting. These people really have no idea what they're doing, do they?

[Death From Above]

WWE throws fits over a few guys in costume in the crowd trying to get over, yet still doesn't hold public executions for people starting WHAT chants.

 

I do not understand this policy.

[Coffey]

Really failing to see how Dolph Ziggler beating Kevin Owens on free tv helps anyone going forward. I just don't get it. I don't get this company. I don't know what on earth they're trying to do. It's like they purposely don't want anyone to look too credible at any given time, so they have to constantly cut the legs off of people to remind them who is in charge or something.

[fakeplastictrees]

Ziggler needs to spend some time on Main Event and Superstars. He is instant death to anyone he touches now unless he is on the losing end. Ziggler is in such a weird position as he shouldn't be getting wins over Owens, Styles, Ambrose, Rusev, etc., but at the same time he cannot afford to keep losing to those guys as the fans are still behind Ziggler and want him to push into the title scene again. WWE fucked the Ziggler push up on two different occasions: MITB cash-in on Raw and the SS 2014 main event. Its time for Ziggler to get lost in a feud with Stardust and The Social Outcasts.Ziggler needs to stay in the lower card matches until post Summer Slam where he is hopefully some what fresh for a re-introduction to the main audience.

[Loss]

I think a redemption story for Ziggler that culminated in a real main event run would work out fine, but I'm not sure they have the patience to see it through. It would probably need months to play out.

 

I actually came here to post that The Miz is the best talker in the company and did an exceptional job getting AJ Styles over. Calling himself the father of the Yes Movement was brilliant. I loved it.

[Hegs]

Why is Ambrose even in the same ring as Lesner? He belongs nowhere near the title picture. Speaking of being nowhere near the title picture, how much of the Bellas are we going to be forced to endure? There are so many other deserving female wrestlers who should be getting a non-title win.

[Stiva]

I wouldn't mind seeing Ziggler have a brief run in NXT. I bet he'd be over huge down there and it could well rehabilitate him before being brought back up. That would all depend on the idea that the company actually wants to build anyone up though.
