AEW / WWE thread - Real Fighting about Fake Fighting

*sigh*

we had a good run fellas

 

see Uncle Jesse agrees

 

RAW/SD/NXT WILDCARDS INCOMING!!

 

Can't wait for Adam Cole to be squashed in 15 seconds by a wildcard Baron Corbin returning.

 

That's hardly a factual article, looks like a blog that took Meltzers words and created a post based on it.

But really, it's what we expect to happen anyway...

 

Thats exactly what it is

 

Really torn on the Orange Cassidy stuff, I don't see it as much than an indy gimmick but maybe it can work if they limit it to small doses and as a jobber like Nakazawa. I know if he doesn't do the gimmick he can actually go in the ring, so who knows how they plan on implementing him long term.

 

He’s awesome and this signing is awesome

 

The best wrestler in the world has wrestled matches with a literal dummy and a 9-year-old girl. And, the biggest wrestling company in the world has had a leprechaun who somehow is the CEO’s son and also the heaviest competitor in the ring....but Orange Cassidy’s gimmick is a bridge too far? No.

 

I don't really want to watch raw, but I do want to see the new Steve Austin show that's coming on after

 

It's the RAW after a big PPV, that's what we do right? give them the benefit of the doubt and hope we get nice surprises, call ups, new feuds, etc. Until we're let down again of course.

 

I missed these Ken Anderson matches evidently.

 

WWE took down the streamable of Bray's entrance, then posted the full video, then edited it down to 40 seconds. Fucking cowards.

 

Hell yeah.

 

More Vince involvement? Well NXT is ruined.

 

A little bit of me died inside.

 

Even responded to yourself.

 

Turn heel again Seth. Do something .

 

Good brothers in gold looks good. Need AJ to hold both titles now.

 

Probably going to job them out to Seth now

 

Are the Street Profits just the hosts of Raw at this point?

 

Sami hitting it right on the head

 

So are they trying the KO thing with Joe?

 

Must watch.

 

So sad what they've done to Sami.

Joe needed a win too, but come on... that was a squash.

 

Dolph busting out the highly appropriate Monty Python reference

 

What a botch fest although that shoulder spot may have been on purpose

Also Andrade v Rey again. Match going to be great but man they've nothing to build this feud

 

Totally forgot Bobby Roode existed

 

Management must not have liked Robert Rude with the stache

 

That Drew/Cedric match was awesome

 

That Claymore kick was awesome

 

Thank you Sasha cutting off Natalya on the mic

 

Heel Sasha!

 

Not the intended reaction, a Canadian crowd chanting thank you Sasha as she beats down Natalya

 

we did it guys

 

Blue hair is making me feel things

 

Also, Cole couldn't wait to scream "ITS BOSS TIME" into his mic.

 

"Thank you, Sasha"

 

But in kayfabe, Natalya and Becky just had a nasty feud. Natalya promo started out with she meant everything she said about Becky and would face her again...why did Becky come out to save her?

That said, heel Sashsa so I'm happy. Also love the I told you so on commentary from Graves

 

I wonder how those kids are feeling that she handed off her legit boss rings to right before she beat down Nattie

 

How many squash matches have the Vikings had now?

 

Fuck!

 

At first I was like “I know the promo lame but y’all some wild dickheads booing a lady talking about her dead dad”. Then Sasha returned.

Let her be the super villain she’s always been destined to be.

 

I jumped out of my chair when her music hit.

 

Where the fuck was Bray at tonight?

 

I am really struggling to picture a WrestleMania main event. Like even thoigh we all had our problems with Roman and his push...we knew he was WM main event guy..the one on the posters and press releases. I am just struggling to picture who that's going to be unless it's Roman again post Royal Rumble.

Roman vs Braun done right has that feel to it. Other than that? It's women again. Sasha vs Becky.
