Jmare007 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Probably wont watch but wanted to comment that after a decade, a WWE PPV will be TV-14, rumor is of course they are planning on doing violent stuff and blood. I guess Seth gets Orton'd by Brock?

sek69 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Funny thing is this isn't the worst looking card on paper, but I can't remember the last time a Big Four PPV had such little hype. 16 minutes ago, Jmare007 said: Probably wont watch but wanted to comment that after a decade, a WWE PPV will be TV-14, rumor is of course they are planning on doing violent stuff and blood. lol WWE never gonna stop WWE'ing ....they're too sophisticated for blood n' guts right?

KawadaSmile Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Well, fake blood >> real blood... Expecting some really stupid TV-14 shenanigans on Balor vs The Fiend, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 The problem is they really need to do something diabolical with the Fiend to really distinguish him not only from his Mr. Rogers alter ego but also from his previous gimmick. When WWE tries to do stuff like that we get worms projected on the canvas at Wrestlemania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richeyedwards Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 It would be pretty funny to have a tv-14 show and have fans thinking there will be blood but instead it is because of some of the imagery in a bray video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Bray doing the same 'start a feud by randomly attacking someone after the lights go out' stuff he's been doing for years and years like the feuds with Ambrose, Roman, etc. Only now he's wearing a mask so it's been generally praised more.

KawadaSmile Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 The presentation is overall better, to be fair. The lights, the sound effects, the distortion... it is something more intimidating and more effective than "cult leader who says cryptic shit". At the same time, it is also quite simple.

It is better so far, but you're never going to get that next step in the sanitized world of WWE. It's hard to be a scary character when you know the company won't actually go to that next level. It's like a PG rated horror film, no matter how good all the pieces are it has a lot working against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiva Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I read a Youtube comment, of all things, that had the awesome idea of Bray coming out in his Mr Rodgers gear, the week after attacking Finn, to save him and doing a split personality gimmick. Now that hasn't happened, I'm way less excited about the whole thing. Also, imagine if you were in a coma for a year and you woke up to Summerslam having a random Goldberg vs. Dolph Ziggler match for very little reason.

El-P Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'm baffled that they don't have Roman Reigns & Daniel Bryan on the second biggest show of the year. This company makes no sense whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Universal Championship Match Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Seth Rollins This will be interesting to see how they book it & what story they go for. Hoping that Brock retains because Seth is painfully boring. I still enjoy Brock. At least he still has a superstar aura about him, something that Seth has never had. Raw Women’s Championship Match Becky Lynch (c) vs. Natalya Don't care. Expect it to be sloppy. Hopefully the Toronto crowd will at least give Nattie a nice pop. WWE Championship Match Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Randy Orton I've already seen this match like five or six times. Don't expect to see anything new. Tired of the Kofi title reign but another Orton reign isn't the answer. Trish Stratus vs. Charlotte Flair Trish was never great, despite what some internet revisionist history would like people to believe (same with Lita). Charlotte is pretty good though. I hope this is just Trish coming back to give some rub to Charlotte so they can start pushing/using Charlotte again. I predict Trish will be moving in slow motion. SmackDown Women’s Championship Match Bayley (c) vs. Ember Moon Will suck. Ember Moon is not good. Bayley is not charismatic. Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon — If Owens loses, he will quit WWE Will suck. Shane sucks. Maybe they'll do some crazy stupid bump or something but after Gargano/Cole last night... I'm not sure it would matter. Goldberg vs. Dolph Ziggler Hope Goldberg kills him in 20 seconds. Dolph sucks. At least Goldberg still has a presence & intensity to him. Dolph brings less than nothing to the table. Not sure why this match is even happening but whatever. United States Championship Match AJ Styles (c) vs. Ricochet This could be pretty good if they reign in the flips. Finn Bálor vs. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt I heard Finn is taking some time off? And the new Bray character needs to be built up, so I assume Bray wins. Finn isn't going to be The Demon, right? Because they need to protect that. WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match Drew Gulak (c) vs. Oney Lorcan Good chance this is the best match on the card. Drew Gulak is really good. Like a five hour card with very few matches that I feel anyone will even care about. It's crazy to me that the biggest stars on the show are Brock Lesnar & Goldberg. No Roman Reigns. No Daniel Bryan. WWE really needs to focus on making some new stars & stop worrying about people potentially leaving or making The Brand the star. That shit doesn't work.

hammerva Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Apollo Crews vs Buddy Murphy should be a great match albeit a match I don't think anyone in the crowd will care about.

hammerva Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Lorcan vs Gulak was fun but a bit short as expected The finish was pretty surprising. Hopefully they have a real title match on 205 Live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 No one has really cared about Natalya Neidhart in a decade, so why is this match tonight happening? It seems so random. There's three women's matches tonight & they just feel all over the place & slapped together without any rhyme or reason. Ember Moon is getting a title shot. Nattie is getting a title shot. Trish it out of retirement. Talk about throwing shit against the wall. They're really missing Ronda, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long haired fan and his mom were always regulars too although he changed his look a bit with a goatee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
