C.S. Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 What the hell are Maria and Mike Kanellis supposed to be?
WingedEagle Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 There will likely come a day when the Fashion Police segments are unbearable TV and I find them awful. But we're not there. And I LOVE it. Great comedy and timing from everyone. The Kanellis bit? Pass.
El Dragon Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I grade Mike and Maria a solid 7/10 on the "midcard comedy gimmick" scale.
hammerva Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 That entrance music is going to be used by some mark's wedding in the next 6 months. Followed probably by Glorious
El Dragon Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Wow. We getting a 2+ hour PPV? 3 matches left, decent chance the MITB goes 25-30.
hammerva Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Wait a minute Greg Gagne is a St.Louis wrestling legend? Funny that they actually used that International title as something. Wasn't that from the dead days of the AWA
...TG Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Kind of odd that AWA mainstays Greg Gagne, Baron Von Raschke, and Larry "The Axe" Hennig are being introduced as "St. Louis Legends". Unless they live in the area now or something? Anyway, it was a very nice thing to do.
Sean Liska Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Orton fighting for the honor of Wrestling at the Chase, I love it, maybe the only way you could get me into this match.
Jimmy Redman Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I think they're happy to use "St Louis" as a synonym for "old timey wrasslin'" thinking nobody will know the difference. So I haven't seen a single thing Maria has done since leaving WWE, so to go from that to coming out here doing this lame heel promo is super weird. Are they supposed to be good? Bennett has always seemed like the blandest wrestler on earth to me. I feel like they'll come off as a second rate Miz and Maryse here. Does Maria wrestle? I like how happy Orton was to be over for once.
C.S. Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 If someone told me Maria came out with Heath Slater, I would've believed them.
WingedEagle Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 By all rights this is a very solidly laid out and well executed title match. I just don't find Orton or Mahal very interesting and its completely sapping any excitement the work might otherwise generate.
hammerva Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Well I don't know if I would say that Mike and Maria were really good in TNA but they definitely got good heat because they dominated the program for a good year. As just another piece of the cog I can't see them doing much. Especially Mike who is on the same level wrestling wise as a Tye Dillinger
Strummer Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Maria played a "wicked stepmother" type gimmick in TNA that got some praise for those that actually watch TNA. Suffice to say I don't believe she will be playing the "ditsy" gimmick she used from 04-10. Can't believe she's been in the business over 13 years now
Jimmy Redman Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 The idea of Jinder being able to survive an RKO, even with two goons helping him, is so ridiculous to me so as to ruin all my suspension of disbelief.
hammerva Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I like that all the legends are crapping on the Singh brothers except the guy who played a foreign heel for decades. At least he gets it Well Orton didn't kill those boys as bad as the last time but wasn't that pretty either.
Strummer Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Now a bunch of wrestlers complaining about the women's match online. Angle alert. They are clearly going to do a rematch
Jimmy Redman Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 They might want to do another girls MITB on TV where more people will see it. Well that was a piece of shit.
...TG Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Randy is bound and determined to cripple at least one of the Singh brothers.
NintendoLogic Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I kind of like that the Singh Brothers are there primarily to get dropped on their heads by Orton.
hammerva Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 You know American Alpha is dead when they are doing PPV storylines for the Ascension
Jimmy Redman Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Randy Orton on Twitter: drags Indy wrestlers who take crazy uneccesary risks. Randy Orton on SD: Gets all his heat by recklessly throwing Indy wrestlers on top of their heads.
hammerva Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Oh man if they don't even put Nakamura in the fucking match
WingedEagle Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 The booking on this show makes Extreme Rules look like Slamboree '97 with Flair & co. going over the NWO at home.
