sek69 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 It's going to be weird if/when Raw starts to get markedly better, turning Heyman babyface with the crowd (since it's pretty much only the hardcores left) but his on screen character will still be the evil heel manager of Brock.

C.S. Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 This show has been an enormous pile of shit. So much for "the Heyman touch." We're back to business as usual already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it'll be appointment viewing once again pretty soon, but can't say I'm compelled to make it a priority as long as Baron Corbin & co. are featured. Really looking forward to AJ/Ricochet and Kofi/Joe this weekend. If the mixed tag is the main and thus lets me cut out early it could be a pretty decent show.

KawadaSmile Posted July 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hey, the crowd's response for Rico was alright. Guess they are trying to make him something more, bit by bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 AJ becoming an arrogant schmuck in the course of one week feels so fake. I realize wrestling and heel turns have always been that way, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yeah last week's show was much better. Hopefully they finally blow off this Roman/Shane stuff at the ppv. It's not doing Roman any favors. Question is if they do Taker/Roman or Taker/Drew at Summerslam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Taker reforming the Corporate Ministry with Corbin/Lashley/McIntyre as his acolytes is either the best or the worst thing WWE could possibly do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 That was an awful show with nothing interesting on it at all. Just short matches and matches to use timeouts for commercials. 57 minutes ago, Strummer said: Yeah last week's show was much better.

Question is if they do Taker/Roman or Taker/Drew at Summerslam Local ads have Taker/Drew for SummerSlam, with online reports saying Taker had requested to work with Drew.

DMJ Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I read the rumors about Taker/Drew. Good god, why? I mean, if Drew had defeated Rollins consistently in the fall, then Reigns consistently after that, I could see it. But Drew McIntyre is a Dino Bravo-level heel. Even Taker/Reigns II feels senseless considering Reigns defeated him at Mania a couple years back. I'd still prefer that over Taker/Drew, but not by much. I'm not sure there is a Taker match I'd be super interested in seeing - but if I had my pick, it'd definitely be Daniel Bryan. Bryan has proven he can carry just about anyone to a good match (Big Cass) and I'd love to hear him go off on The Deadman just being a "marketing tool" to sell dolls and t-shirts, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovert Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 So the story goes Undertaker was a big proponent of Drew during his first run with WWE and now wants to put him over. Obviously Undertaker's "rub" can be beating the shit out of you for 90% and then him going over clean lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I haven't been watching but I'm curious about the "no wrestling during commercial breaks" thing and the reaction it has gotten. I know it's not the same but I wonder if the fans that have been wanting the return of squash matches and less marquee matchups on free TV to save them for big shows and build shit up on RAW/SD also hate this new format.

I think it's okay, to be honest. I get why people would be upset, but I still take 2/3 Falls matches over chinlocks that go on forever.

It's a shame, because weren't people predicting this guy would win the Royal Rumble and headline WrestleMania? Since then, he's been positioned as a Mike Kanellis "bitch" character for Baron and now Shane, with loss after loss to go along with it. At this point, Drew defeating Taker would not be remotely believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 You guys, he's actually right. But forget about the announcers... Shane and Drew believing it made even less sense. Why would the janitor suddenly need to wear a mask? Edit: Apparently Shane asked the janitor to wear the mask? I completely missed that. Also makes no sense.
