The Thread Killer Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 LOL @ Michael Cole trying to impress everybody by listing off a bunch of UK Pro Wrestling legends in his opener…and very obviously referring to a cheat sheet to do it, because he has no idea who half of those names actually were.

Dav'oh Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 No protests about WWE taking Welsh Coal Blood Money and serving as propagandists for PM Mark Drakeford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav'oh Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 I hope there's a Welsh announcer's table and one of the commentators is Rob Brydon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiva Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 As someone who hasn’t watched WWE in a long while, the difference in commentary is night and day. They’re still shoehorning clumsy nicknames in but all three feel far more relaxed. It’s night and day if you haven’t been watching for a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quick cut camera shots still kill me though. It’s always so jarring when you’re used to watching other companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiva Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Wait, they actually called the German guy LUDWIG KAISER?! That’s an incredible bit of 1970s regional wrestling heeldom brought into 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 No way I'm missing this Sheamus Vs. Gunther match, man. Right up my alley. Let's go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiva Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Ha, that stare down as the other guys brawl was a clever way to get some spotlight on the tag teams for a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Gunther looks kind of gassed already. I wonder if Sheamus gave him some stiff ones lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thread Killer Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 You know, between the new creative direction with more focus on the championships, and Gunther’s overall presentation…the IC Title actually feels like it really means something again, for the first time and I don’t know how long. They are even building it up on commentary as the workman’s title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved during the opening introductions when Michael Cole was running down all of Sheamus' previous accolades in WWE & he talked about how the prestigious Intercontinental Title has thus far eluded him. I actually didn't know that. Former World Champion, King of the Ring & Royal Rumble Winner but never had the IC belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this match, I kind of hope this is not one and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeplastictrees Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Love what I am seeing so far. Outside of the, expected, bad camera work, WWE is having a great show thus far. I am not a fan of a champion taking the pin fall in a non title match, especially a multi-woman match, but its WWE. It's expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
