KawadaSmile Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 HBK is going to announce the NXT Men's team at the pre-show panel. Smart, considering how many of them got fucked up in the main event yesterday. Also would explain Riddle going extra light. The women's team looks specially stacked: Toni Storm, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae and Io Shirai. Absurd. The Four Corners + Akiyama of our times.

El-P Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 T-shirt Mania. They won't unionize after being left in Saudi Arabia but they are fighting for Brand Supremacy and you are all invited ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 The whole brand supremacy thing would work out so well if they could just do the smallest thing which is establishing a prize or a reason for all of this. Like when Team Austin vs Team Bischoff happened, and the prize was getting a major favor granted per member of the winning team. Just anything to give them a reason to band up and fight the other brands. That is just so easy and simple to do, I don't know why they won't do it.

sek69 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Because in WWE, there's no bigger prize than being the best BRAND BRAND BRAND! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I'd even accept that if it means that brand gets the main event of Wrestlemania, regardless of the Royal Rumble outcome...anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachchaos Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Aside from the incredibly stupid concept and the lack of faith that this company can do anything right, tonight has the potential to be a really entertaining show. Ronda Rousey could return, although that seems like more of a Royal Rumble moment. They could pull the plug and turn Rollins heel again, although turning on his brand seems like pretty weak motivation. Rey Rey could topple Lesnar. With Owens back in NXT, that most likely will free up a spot for Raw which could be a nice surprise moment. We could see Daniel Bryan miracle worker actually get something good out of Wyatt. -or- Rey is squashed in <30 seconds, Bryan-Wyatt is just an angle, we're subjected to 2 60+ minute elimination matches featuring the returns of Triple H and Shane McMahon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Sam Roberts adding some good points to the Men's SS match is interesting. Seth is a bad captain as he lost his title, one of his team members was fighting for NXT and the other is Orton. That's potentially a good storyline but it won't get adressed in the main roster.

KawadaSmile Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 NXT Men's team: Riddle, Ciampa, Lee, Priest and WALTER. WALTER/Lee vs BRAUN/Roman is going to be something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 During the preshow battle royal entrances, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder are making their way to the ring & the commentator says "Here comes two superstars whom are always grateful that they're still here." Um, what? Please tell me I misheard that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Brock/Rey is the only thing on this card any sane person should be looking forward to, and it has the potential to be a real classic. Brock killed it this year with Finn Balor and Seth Rollins, so just imagine what he could do with an actual good wrestler. But it's not worth sitting through three hours of Brand Supremacy horseshit for. I'll be checking in and out until the match starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Ziggler is one of weird wwe deals I guess. They wouldn't push him when he was his most over (especially after .Survivor Series 2014) but push him stronger when he's barely over at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert S Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 4 hours ago, El-P said: T-shirt Mania. I would go for Triple Threat Mania as there are six Triple Threat matches on the show. Considering that Triple Threat may be my least favorite gimmick match in wrestling, I don't know if I ever get through the whole show. I hope they are clever enough to not have three people in the ring at the same time in the 5 vs. 5 vs. 5 elimination matches, because it could get very bad that way.

Coffey Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I don't think anything takes me more out of a moment than when a wrestler, in character, is talking about stealing the show, or being the most entertaining, or having a match of the year. I know that kayfabe is dead but is it too much to ask that the wrestlers on the wrestling show having wrestling contests actually want to fucking WIN the wrestling match? How about that for a concept? This fucking rah-rah we had match of the night it doesn't matter that I lost bullshit sucks. Sami can fuck off.

I agree in principle, though in the let's call it shoot-version of pro wrestling (MMA), it's sometimes better for your bottom line to lose an exciting fight than to win a boring one.

With Keith Lee waiting in the weeds, I hope his weight doesn't get out of control. I like him & think he has a ton of potential. Same goes for Otis, whom earlier in the night couldn't get up for his elbow after the worm. He's noticeably put on more weight - that's not all just from changing outfits...

I can't imagine trying to eat healthy while living on the road. To be fair, I can't imagine that lifestyle in general. Just the whole having to make towns, find gyms, get rental cars, etc. seems exhausting let alone having to actually work while doing all of that mundane shit too. Then you factor in that you're constantly banged up, tired, hounded by fans... I wouldn't want to then go to a restaurant and just eat chicken breast & steamed broccoli either!
