Could Reigns have taken any longer to get over the cage? Kayfabe wise that was ridiculous, he just sat on top of cage for like 20 seconds
So they are literally going to feed roman 7 wrestler at once trying to get him over; including the current intercontinental champ, the current tag champs, the top tag contenders, the roster’s “monster”, and a “legend” Fucking Vince man
He was also a Smackdown guy, another person taken from their roster (but really who cares....it's fucking Kane)
The addition of Kane has really taken back any momentum i was feeling about this shield reunion. Im on team it's crap now. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt... but then they go and add Kane
This don't even make sense on WWE storyline levels that usually never make sense to begin with. Kane? Why? What?
I mean I get why they are doing it, I just don't like it. Kane I'm sure is there to avenge his brother who Reigns retired
Survivor Series is going to be great when Reigns is the last man on his team and he rolls through the three remaining guys on team Miz.
I don’t know, I could argue that Rollins, Braun, cesaro and even miz should be main eventers that are going to get the Roman treatment but I see your point. At least it’s not just roman v champ for the 18th time in 20 PPVs
Smackdown deficiencies go beyond just Jinder being champ....Natalya is a pretty awful female champ too. And basically outside of the KO and Zayn stuff, their writers have no good feuds going. Part of it is a light roster, but the writing has been awful as well. I mean they have guys like AJ Styles and Nakamura who could be written into better stuff than they have going on now.
Lana needs some more revealing ring gear. I am also convinced that Alexa Bliss is far and away best women wrestler....smackdown women's division has gone to shit since she left, and RAW's has gotten quite a bit better.
Smackdown Division is still much better than RAW. It’s not even close tbqh. Yeah Bliss is fantastic and the best the roster has but Smackdown has much deeper and developed roster. Natty has been good as champ. You have always hated her but as a heel champ she’s done fine. Her promo skills are improving and she has some nasty in her in ring now. Also Smackdown and RAW don’t have separate writers. They have one large team that does both shows still. Smackdown has actually been pretty good outside of Jinder who I tune out.
I don't know, outside Breezango, Tag title matches and Owens/Zayn stuff, I have been very unimpressed lately.
Baron is getting better and his program with AJ was good. His promo last week to end the show was fantastic. And you litteraly rattled off 95% of the show that you enjoy.
I know it’s not really that big a thing but it drives me nuts that the brands are supposed to be separate and in competition but still shill for each other’s PPVs on the network
They could just make “commercials” like the other brand is buying ad space in their show. If they really had to, maybe have the announcer throw in some comments about the “other guys” show as announcer chat. WWE and WCW did that kind of shit (not like they were trying to sell the others show) but it would often do the opposite and make you tune in anyway like when mick won the title Sorry, it just gets to me
Also it was brilliant to have Zayn, who they are still trying to get over as a true heel, run down Bryan in his hometown. I assume after watching that audience boo him heavily he's going to get similar reactions going forward.
Spin the wheel and make a deal... I loved some of the WCW PPVs.... Halloween Havoc, War Games.... Probably my top 2
So it seems like was sub 365 days before Daniel Bryan is wrestling again... I just hope he doesn't head off to NJPW and kill himself. Stay in the US and work PWG and ROH....
The rumor is a lot of wrestlers are trying to get out of WWE because the indies are doing so well right now and guys are making good money both there and in Japan.
If a lot of these people head to the indies the price for talent is going to go down due to a flooded market. A guy like Neville will earn well but I think a lot of guys are going to be disappointed.
Nia Jax isn't making shit on the indies... she fucking blows I'm glad that the superstars are standing up against Vince and the machine because the don't trully push the talented performers. Neville has been nothing short of amazing in his run as King of the Cruiserweights. No reason why he can't be moved off 205 live and challenge Miz for the IC title.
From what people are saying its not just pushing talent, its that they can make more or similar money on the indies. I would assume they probably get less base pay in the indies but make a ton more off of merch. I don't know, but I would imagine the Young Bucks are fucking rolling in cash.
I'm sure the top end guys like Orton and Cena make far more money that you could ever dream of on the indies, but the midcard guys I would imagine could do pretty similar.
So AJ Styles responds to Jinder comment about having beaten everyone on SD Live by saying you never beat me, and then Cole on commentary adds "that is true, Jinder Mahal has never beaten AJ Styles". Do they really think their fans are that stupid? I mean we aren't even talking 6 months ago.
Justin LaBar ✔@JustinLaBar Seems Bray, Bo and JoJo haven't been at TV or events because of viral meningitis. Unfortunate. I have NO INFO on Sunday for Bray. Pro Wrestling Votes @WrestleVotes I am hearing other Superstars may indeed be suffering from the same illness, and it may drastically impact Sunday's PPV event.
