KawadaSmile Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Renee in the commentary team full time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeplastictrees Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I have never been high on Rene's commentary. She neither adds nor takes away from the product, so I guess that is better than nothing. With Rene at the booth, WWE will finally be rid of the insulting POC trope that has plagued the three man announce both for a considerable amount of time. I assume the 'new assignment' for Coach was part of his original WWE contract. "Voice of Raw" until outside commitments begin to interfere/bad commentary performance. It looks like both have happened and Coach will probably be on the PPV panel for another 6 months to a year before being gone again. Coach brings nothing to the table as an analysis and honestly works better as a character. I cannot think of one memorable Coach call, but I can think of a lot of good Coach comedy segments. There are a lot of guys in NXT and 205 live that need to get over. Coach should be sent 'down' (over?) there and use what little magic is left in his old top hat.

sek69 Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Coach needs to be as far away as possible. His brand of smugness combined with acting like he was still hosting SportsCenter, all while getting clowned by Graves and Cole for being a dipshit was getting very old.

KawadaSmile Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 At least right now on the pre-show panels he can get dunked on by Booker T and it is going to be great. Also he can maybe get back to the backstage interviewer role which is where he had his best moments. A win-win to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingSavage Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Coach as the roving, on-the-spot interviewer who finds himself out of his element & in uncomfortable situations could be good. He's at his best when he's open to being humiliated. Is he too self-serious for that stuff now? 'Cause if not, it's probably the only thing he's good for at this point.

KawadaSmile Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Nikki countering the Eclipse into the Rack Attack II would be great. Basically she could have a great match with just about anyone in the Women's division today. The fact that she throws the meanest clotheslines and elbow strikes is just the cherry on the cake of greatness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 What a tremendous, tremendous promo from Foley. He can still bring it out when he's motivated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 It's been a rather forgettable episode of Raw tonight but I always get a laugh at Braun wandering around backstage, yelling and throwing things. And it was impressive when he nailed some guy with a water bottle pretty far down the hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Lio Rush being Lashley's manager is a genius move. It would rock if they were a tag team, too. Lio rocks and I like Lashley. Power/speed dynamics are usually great. Win-win here, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenese Sarwieh Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I'd be down with a Lio Rush/Lashley paring. Reminds me of when MVP was Lashley's mouth piece at Impact, but they have to be heels cause that's when Lashey is at his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always so underrated how each of his characters had a completely different promo style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Nikki/Riott was a blast. Finn Balor should be watching Nikki for insight into how to throw those flying clotheslines. These two matched up really, really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Something oddly fascinating about a broken down Jeff Hardy being the one to get the most out of a broken down Nakamura regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Sometimes I get the feeling that Jeff Hardy is the modern day Jake Roberts in the sense that he seems to be really smart when he's not completely fucked up. Nakamura seems to be a guy who's more checked out mentally than broken down physically, so Jeff coming up with something to keep him interested makes sense.

hammerva Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Becky Lynch is a really good heel. Unfortunately she is feuding with someone who is being groomed against Rousey so sucks for her as being a champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They uploaded a video on youtube of the cage I named the Punjabi match because it was also hard to watch what was going on in the ring with the hard camera shot, one would guess they wouldn't try to do that again.
