sek69 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 I love that Ivar can woo the lady from the Bachelor with the power of turkey meat. I mean, I've been to a Ren Faire, those big ass turkey legs are no joke. Quote

Remind me of the wrestlers you're thinking of, bubba. I seriously can't remember an act getting their attire completely changed upon being called to the main roster. Quote

The Ascension Bo Dallas Bobby Roode (remember the week he had just a mustache like a geek) EC3 (same look, but wasn't allowed to talk or play to his strengths) I'm sure I could go on and on. Quote

I dunno, bubba. Strictly speaking about attire changes, I don't think any of those even qualify or were even that bad (Bo Dallas' singlet was an improvement over his white diaper look, that's for sure). Wasn't the Ascension basically the same? Quote

KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Posted August 25, 2020 ...nothing changed, tbh. I mean, I remember they were relatively protected early on. When DBry and Roman had their gauntlet tag during their Fastlane build, The Ascension lost by DQ and dominated them. But I guess even by that point, it was clear they weren't the right choice. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Posted August 25, 2020 Lord, Natalya gimmick #24012980 would be so rough to watch with a live crowd. Quote
sek69 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 How many times has Mickie been the subject of humiliation angles? At least she got to kick Lana out of her shoe over it. Quote
sek69 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 Gonna be honest, Raw Underground is the first time I've been entertained by Dolph in YEARS. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Posted August 25, 2020 Crazy how booking a dude to his strengths would lead to good things, right? Let's check out Lee's attire. Will it be bad? Quote
sek69 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 I knew Vince was gonna make him wear something to cover the upper body, I'm sure he was too "fat". Quote
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Posted August 25, 2020 Eh, it's not so bad. Reminds me of Mark Henry, but with basketball shorts. Quote
C.S. Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 This gear looks better than it did on Ohno, but it's still bad. Fucking WWE, man... Quote
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Posted August 25, 2020 Drew McIntyre's healing powers put Hogan's to shame. Quote
sek69 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 Doing the "geek who disappears when the big boys enter the segment" is not filling me with enthusiasm. Quote

After a sluggish match mostly dominated by Orton. Tepid is the word to describe how Keith Lee's debut was handled. Obviously, Vince doesn't feel that strongly about him. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Posted August 25, 2020 I guess the idea of lining him up with the big boys wasn't a bad one, but at the same time it's not like they intended to shoehorn him into a three-way he wouldn't win anyway. Either way, you guys are maybe being too pessimistic about this. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Posted August 25, 2020 All those #FACTS about Thunderdome just make me wonder how much the electricity bill is. Quote
sek69 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 I mean, why would you have someone debut against a guy you just set up as the main event in your PPV (that takes place in a week)? It's a no win situation, either the new guy gets beat or you have a non finish that does them no favors. Plus in this case it literally gets overshadowed in seconds by furthering the angle you just started. Piss poor presentation all around, and another example of NXT guys having extra obstacles placed in front of them. Quote

sek69 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 Also if one punt is enough to put a legend out for an indeterminate amount of time, Drew should be in a vegetative state by now. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Posted August 25, 2020 I'll lol if Lee is the one to take Drew's place at Payback. Quote
C.S. Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 So, Charly is openly violating HIPAA by revealing what she overheard the doctors say after eavesdropping. Lock her ass in jail! Quote
