C.S. Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 The idea of the title being open to anyone from Raw, SD, 205, NXT, and NXT UK is actually really cool, but instead of emphasizing that, the focus is on a corny comedy gimmick with a badly designed belt and worse name that only jabronis seem to want. In other words, WWE being WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Can someone give those of us who aren't watching the deets on this new title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 To be fair the Hardcore title was mostly a jobber/lower card title after Road Dogg lost it.  Even if Crash Holly was awesome with it.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE 24/7 Title - FUGLY green belt - Open to anyone from Raw, SD, 205, NXT, and NXT UK - Despite that, only the lowest on the totem pole jabronis seem to want it - First two champions: Titus O'Neil (who won by grabbing it - that's all he had to do) and Robert Roode (who won it seconds later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Didn't Foley also mention some nonsense about the 3rd hour of Raw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 24/7 worked in 2000 worked because they had a bunch of over lower card acts.  They really have none at the moment so this just seems like job guys flailing around out there and slipping on banana peels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Hats 4.0 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Was flipping channels and went to this...most of the arena is blacked out. I assume this is not a new stylish choice for Raw and it's because the draw was really poor tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been infinitely more entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Yeah, seems to be an aesthetic choice visually. Looks like I'm the only one here who actually likes that concept. I'd rather see midcard acts being used on TV than just standing in line at catering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Nah, the concept is cool. The belt is ugly as shit, but WWE is more often than not funny (intentionally) when doing over the top backstage segments. Braun got over by doing Looney Toons shit, after all.

NotJayTabb Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 I think it's a fun idea. Gives TV time till guys who would otherwise only appear on Main Event, and if one or two of them make themselves stand out in the process, then it's worth it. A little bit of chaos to liven up the shows. Plus those guys who are more creative can use this as a vehicle- already Drake Maverick is on Twitter, shooting videos hunting down R-Truth for the belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Someone on reddit had an amusing idea where the wrestlers think the belt is a piece of shit and are trying to lose it instead of win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyote and Road Runner really better though? With that said, props to EC3 for some gloriously goofy facial expressions during the Roode-Truth skit. Doesn't get him any closer to the main event, but it's genuinely funny - and you have to give him credit for embracing the shit out of this. Edit: I've giffed it.  3 hours ago, Mad Dog said: Someone on reddit had an amusing idea where the wrestlers think the belt is a piece of shit and are trying to lose it instead of win it. Where is good for wrestling on reddit? I signed up for reddit a few months ago but have avoided wrestling there like the plague. I assumed any major wrestling groups on reddit would be a cesspool. Is that wrong?
