FMKK Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Has there ever been a bigger pair of geeks in the world title programme than there is now with Seth and Baron? Quote

C.S. Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 I thought KO and SZ were on SDL? Yes, I know - "Wildcard Rules." "That's some good shit, pal!" The brand split is officially a joke. Quote
Coffey Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 That fifteen minute opening, or however long it was, pretty much sums up why WWE is currently so trash. Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens. Just fuck off. A bunch of geeks. Not interesting whatsoever. Never going to have a money promo. Never going to have a match I care about. Just interchangeable dweebs that kill TV time for the sake of killing TV time. No star power or charisma. No drawing ability. And completely clueless as to what good wrestling even is. But I'm sure they'll kick out of twenty finishes, shake off their selling to get their shit in & hit some fucking floatover superplexes and apron powerbombs and shit. Fuck off. Quote
C.S. Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Lucha House Party is Mexicools 2.0. Not even Rey is getting treated well these days. So much for wanting to grow the Hispanic audience. Quote
Tenese Sarwieh Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Ric Flair/Fritz Von Erich that was not. Quote
C.S. Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 How much of that Alexa promo was the absolute truth about Bayley? I remember her tweeting similar things about Banks before. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted June 11, 2019 Author Report Posted June 11, 2019 At least Jinder had presence when he was slotted in the main event. Seth... not so much. At least not as a face. Him being an actual chickenshit heel was something that he excelled at. Quote
...TG Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 LOL, Bayley loses in San Jose again. Can't even give her a win in a meaningless tag match. It's not going to mean a thing long term of course but WWE is gonna WWE. Quote
C.S. Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Is Drew a bad promo or just bad with bad scripted promos? Quote
C.S. Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 WWE is so boring. Every main event is some combination of Seth, Corbin, KO, Drew, and/or a wasted and misused Sami Zayn. Quote
Strummer Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Kinda interesting "backstage battle" point made by the Observer Raw recap guy. HHH and Steph have largely been off tv since the nba playoffs started. Knowing ratings would be down. Shane has been all over TV during that time..... Quote

They do that during football season too, they tend to disappear when it's clear a show is going to be low rated. Quote
C.S. Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Shane was all over TV long before the NBA playoffs though. (Unless they've been going on for months? I wouldn't know...) Quote

Man, this reminds me of that dreadful 2nd half of 2016 when RAW was all about Seth, KO and Jericho, while Roman and Rusev tried to get something out of it. It was painful. Quote
Stiva Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Man, I can't imagine why nobody wants to pay silly money to watch this main event scene. Say what you will about Corbin, he's correctly cast as smarmy heel asshole and cuts promos that suit that. They've got the World Title (sorry, UNIVERSAL Title) on a babyface who doesn't know how to cut a babyface promo, who, when going into a match with an injury, barely chooses to sell it, instead opting to dive around the ring like an asshole because that's how all his matches work and has a voice like nails down a chalkboard. Owens and Zayn were two guys who always got responses and were two guys that people wanted to believe would get a good push but that's been blown to hell too. At some point, I want them to go full Hall of Pain with Lars Sullivan and see if that gets us anywhere. At the moment, this show is like someone has hamstrung themselves while playing EWR and decided to injure all their actual stars so they have to make do, except it's just raw incompetence in reality.

And that's before we even mention them beating Bayley in her home city yet again because why have anyone the fans believe in? Quote
El-P Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Cone on, there is progress on that front, they did put over Mansoor in Djeddah... Quote
El-P Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 In other news, this guys surely knows where his bread his buttered. Still, so young and already such a stooge, that's pretty fucking pathetic : https://411mania.com/wrestling/velveteen-dream-defends-vince-mcmahon/ Quote

Bryan Alvarez talked about that a few years ago and said it's essentially company policy to job people in their hometown. Quote
Coffey Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 16 hours ago, The Thread Killer said: they call their fans the "KISS Army." To bring this back to Pro Wrestling The KISS Army started in Terre Haute, Indiana. The city I was born. Also the same city where Shawn Michaels won his first Intercontinental Championship Title. Fun fact. Quote
Jmare007 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 Woof. Also, RAW did an historically bad rating again, as expected considering they have NOTHING going right now and the NBA Finals had a huge game than ended up being a classic. Quote

Booking San Jose for this time a year seems like a stupid move because surely there's good odds that Golden State would be in the final. Quote
C.S. Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 The Miz and Roman vs. Shane, McIntyre, and Elias feud would be good if Shane weren't involved. I actually like Shane as a face and don't buy him as a heel at all (even a "chickenshit" heel). Quote
KawadaSmile Posted June 12, 2019 Author Report Posted June 12, 2019 While I'm not against the idea of Shane being this rich playboy piece of shit, not sure if Miz being 3-0 (or is it 4-0 now?) against him is the smartest idea. At this point you are risking making Miz, who's over as the babyface, look like a goober, and not get the desired result for the pay off. Quote
