WWE Elimination Chamber 2019

[KawadaSmile]

This match is quite good, to be honest. 

Shane McMahon is ready to kill himself to get his father's approval - which he's never going to have

[Strummer]

Wow new champions

[KawadaSmile]

And no post-match twist! Coolio.

Honestly I like McMiz more than most and it was a dope moment, but I hope they don't run a Miz/Shane feud.

[Strummer]

They are still most likely do it but the twist would be Shane turning instead of Miz 

[hammerva]

So I guess the fear of going to AEW is more of a concern then getting arrested and having a confrontation with the cops.  Although if they are going with Miz & Shane at WM they have to drop the title to someone and it might as well be a teams as great as the Usos

NEW CHAMPION!!!

[NintendoLogic]

I liked that match a lot more than I expected to. Finn Balor has to be the WWE wrestler of the year so far.

[hammerva]

Three matches on main show, three new champions.   

 

[KawadaSmile]

Hey, face Rush could be cool. Hope they have a nice David vs Goliath match.

Also, the 6th Usos title victory insinuates that WWE wants their talent to fight the police

I'm just now starting the pre-show match as we were watching our niece and nephew (and bummed they aren't more interested in watching professional wrestling), but I'm doing a blog asI watch:

I'm surprised they actually mentioned Alexandria, LA. I figured it'd be too small-time a city for them to acknowledge.

[C.S.]

Usos should have been squashed, sent home, and paid the bare minimum.

I have no sympathy for idiots who get DUIs and endanger the lives of innocent people.

Ditto for Jeff Hardy.

This fear about any of them going to AEW is overstated IMO. Jeff Hardy barely drew a dime for TNA, certainly wouldn't for AEW ten years and ten injuries later, and the Usos definitely wouldn't move the needle for AEW. 

Young Bucks vs. Usos isn't a legitimate main event, no matter how much more important tag team wrestling will be in AEW (and it should be).

That last point is completely false. Best WWE tag team for a quarter century agaimst the top Indy team ever is absolutely a main event.

[NintendoLogic]

Here's my contrarian take: I like Charlotte better as a face. She's a much better performer as a heel, but she's going to be the centerpiece of the division regardless, so I'd rather have it be someone who I'm theoretically supposed to like.

They're WWE midcarders for life because tag teams are midcard in WWE.

AEW is better off avoiding most of those types and building from within IMO.

There are always exceptions, of course. I think we all want to see The Revival vs. The Bucks, but Dash and Dawson (or whatever they would be called in AEW) could be positioned as an underrated team who was "hard done" in WWE (even though they're the WWE Tag Champs now and have generally been pushed well when not injured, but the perception is otherwise for whatever reason). 

[KawadaSmile]

Poor Ruby.

[hammerva]

Well that was a waste of Ruby Riott.  You could have Alicia Fox or Dana Brooke if it was going to be that much of a squash

No offense, but AEW getting a legitimately great tag team like the USO’s would be huge for them. The Young Bucks are one if there only 2 big acts and they need people to go against the Bucks, and there isn’t an Indy tag team to get that can really match the Usos.

[hammerva]

Did Becky just hit Rousey in the face with that crutch?   The Man can sure as fuck swing a crutch

 

[Jmare007]

That was hilarious

[NintendoLogic]

Graves has a point. Why is Becky attacking Charlotte and Ronda? They're not the ones who took her out of the Mania match.

Looks like she got inspired by Mark Henry and decided someone was gonna get they wig split.

The Usos are unreliable DUIdiots. AEW would absolutely be better off without them. Make new stars from within, which in all fairness is what they seem to be doing. If Jericho and Tony Khan are to be believed, AEW won't be rushing to get every midcard castoff that becomes available. Usos aren't worth the headache.
