Post-Mania WWE TV (04/09 - 04/15)

[FMKK]

Interesting. I was expecting Usos to Raw but perhaps not.

[WingedEagle]

I like the Usos as much as the next guy but it still feels like 2/3rds of their matches are finishing stretches.

 

Is that a bad thing given the time most of their matches get?

[FMKK]

I read somewhere from one of the New Day members that they feel there's no need to split them up because they can still achieve their singles goals while together. I agree.

I'd love that if it was something WWE would actually do but they tend not to really.

Now that's an idea I'm on board with. You worry creative would quickly use a singles push to force a split, but I don't recall them a serious singles push for an active tag wrestler, so it'd be incredibly fresh.

This isn't 2005. They get decent enough time, especially considering how many PPV matches they get. I'm not saying every tag has to be southern tag style, but I do think matches where guys are actually on the apron for the majority of the match should be the rule, not the exception. This sort of 80% tornado tag style would mean a lot more if it only happened rarely.

I would think the New Day is going to RAW next week. They can't do anything else on Smackdown really. The question though is how many of them. The reality is that Big E has been ready for a singles push for years.

 

My quess is that Miz goes to Smackdown and Styles goes to RAW

[KawadaSmile]

My only complaing about New Day is that Big E is using a singlet.

[C.S.]

I found the New Day interview: http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0407/638708/the-new-day-on-what-they-call-people-who-want-them-to-break-up/

[Edwin]

Breaking up the New Day will be problematic as they will find a way to bury Big E instead of giving a big singles push ala Rusev.

 

However, keeping them together and just pushing Big E would be perfect.

 

They also make them ton of cash in merch. sale, so I'm sure they won't be breaking them up anytime soon.

[C.S.]

IMO, if anyone's earmarked for a future singles push, it's Kofi. It's always been Kofi.

 

Kofi gets to:

 

- be the sole New Day member on the WM advertising (2016 or 2017)

 

- make solo appearances like WWE Photo Shoot (WWE Network show)

 

- have a memorable Royal Rumble spot every year

 

etc.

[FMKK]

Red and yellow walls behind Shinsuke a subliminal sign that Hogan is coming back.

[KB8]

Is Nakamura the best promo in the company?

[WingedEagle]

Okay, heel Nakamura is the best thing to happen in some time. That was outstanding.

[FMKK]

Really pray that going heel can improve Nak in the ring cause this character looks like it can be great.

[KB8]

Imagine those mannerisms and in-ring gesticulations coupled with condescending interviews and promos about faux remorse because he no speak English.

 

I'm sure down for that.

[SomethingSavage]

Nakamura's going to have to retroactively earn that Rumble win and his Mania payday, because he did absolutely nothing to warrant either of those beforehand.

 

Good on someone for realizing his act had already grown ice cold though.

[Johnny Sorrow]

So Im watching RAW right now, and Coach called Mandy Rose, Randy Rose. Its the funniest accidental slip up ever.

And I dont think Kofi is ever going to get anything more than a one last push thing at this point. Hes been there a long time. Big E and Woods call him Pops for a reason.

[FMKK]

Iconic Duo!

 

Must say, that seemed like one of Charlotte's most comfortable mic performances as a face. These two are burying the life out of her though. And getting over in the process.

[WingedEagle]

Shut it down after tonight. Best TV show of the year.

[FMKK]

Where's Becky?

[hammerva]

So they are the Iconics not the Iconic Duo? Okay sure. Anyway it is about they made it the main roster. Incredible annoying team that will be Michelle McCool & Layla to shame for their attitude and because how good they in the ring

[KB8]

Well damn, how about that for a debut?

[WingedEagle]

Better than Mania! I am loving very single damn thing they do tonight.

[FMKK]

This is one hell of a show tonight

Coach has been awful in every way imaginable since coming back. He was never anything great to begin with, but yeah. Makes me miss King Bookah at the booth something fierce.

 

Safe to say Coach is stealing money at this point.
