WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion (On Netflix)

Can we be sure them wheeling out Maga conservative Hogan in California of all places knowing he would be booed wasn't intentional? They would have had to have known and some smiles going on backstage.

Can't say I blame em.

Whether you like him or not it’s hard to argue Punk hasn’t been the biggest / hottest with the crowds and put on banger matches in the last 6 months.

Personally think he gets bigger reactions than Cody and Roman. He had a fantastic series of matches against Drew and that one with Seth was very good.

I don’t think anyone has come close to him on the mic to.

Clear top 4 for me over this time period has been Punk , Drew, KO and Cody coming in at 4.

Good show, amazing quality, so much better than Kayo

Look forward to watching “normal” shows tbh, but that was a great opening episode for Netflix

Speaking of KO, I really loved him getting involved in the actual Roman match, and trying to extract some revenge on Roman himself.

**** Hogan never liked him.

Surprised Punk went over clean.

I still think Punk wins the Title from Gunther and we get Rollins winning the Chamber.

This feud is money it's not ending now.

 

[BEEG]

They talk about Cody carrying the company the past 12 months then Rollins is a close 2nd.

Deserves to win the Rumble.

Everything he has touched has been gold.

I never could have guessed he would be this big.

Nice to hear a shout out from Punk for Chris Bey.

Heard that who is he?

Looked like Hogan knew it was coming. He didn't flinch or slow down. Did what he was supposed to do, threw out the "watcha gonna do" to wind it up, and left.

Politics aside, I think it's fantastic to roll out the all-time greats on these milestone shows.
Though they could've used them less on the mic in the arena, and more in segments backstage.

Loved the presentation. Aced it. They took an already quality product and elevated it more.

When Macafee was doing the "what a moment"ing all over Travis Scott, I'd really like to think he's talking about the exact moment that he puffed his blunt on their netflix debut.

TNA wrestler who recently broke his neck.

I was just reading about the Hogan segment, and it occured to me...

They film everything at these types of shows in case they want to make a documentary of it, or have the footage later. They would've had footage from Gorilla for Rhea coming backstage with Undertaker.

Which means... there has to be footage of Hogan before he went out, and then when he comes back.

I need to see that more than I need to see the missing Loch Ness monster tapes.

25 minutes in and I already wish mcafee would go away

Watching (on delay) first thing I notice picture better than Kayo.

Fast forwarded Cena. Saw enough of him in the 2010s and it's going to be a long farewell tour. People wanting a "thank you" title reign must have a worse memory than me.

Definitely shouldn't get a 17th

I didn't want to watch Hogan when he first came on.

I've watched that segment 4 times now

 

[nobbyiscool]

Also, I don't really want to see Penta debut next week.

I haven't quite fleshed out the idea in my head yet, but just as they've done with other iconic numbers before, it would've been cool if they'd found a way to have Penta debut in the rumble as Entrant Zero.

Cena was so much better then Flair.

Yeah Flair had those 50 minute classics.

I'm taking everything else from Cena and everything he has done outside the ring.

The ultimate professional, Flair is a grub.

I was hoping Penta and Fenix would team with Dom starting a new Heel group and feuding with Judgement day.

I don't want the typical face debut.

Roman vs Gunther at Royal Rumble makes sense for Roman to win based on interference from Goldberg (we all know Goldberg is fighting at WM 41)

Not going to argue with any of that. But I still think he shouldn't get a 17th.

It’s the small things they do now that keep it interesting.

The Rock stuff today especially with Cody was somewhat perplexing but I get the view of the debut the Rocks the biggest star ever in wrestling and I don’t think anyone will ever get that big ever again. The place was always going to go nuts for him and everything he did today was “face”

He was still dressed in the final boss outfit and held that stupid title with him. It did leave the tease of will he do it to Roman… I think they’ve well and truly managed to keep the Netflix debut people happy but also leave that seed of it could happen. Still plenty of time he could cost Roman the rumble etc. maybe the rumours of no WM are true this year and they’ve pivoted once again.

Personally I’m not really fussed about Rock wrestling again, I do enjoy the character in relation to Roman and the family but I’d happy not see him wrestle again. I’d rather watch Punk or Rollins v Roman at Mania than Rock.

I’ve never been a Cena fan but I respect what he’s done and unlike some before his time like Hogan he’s more than happy to get people over as much as he can. If he wins a 17th I’m sure the end result will be worth it for someone at the end whether that’s Cody, Drew, KO , or one of “newer” gen Priest, Gunther or Bron Breaker.

He looked a bit rattled at first before he started his promo.

I get it, he was the face of wrestling for people but his gimmick has aged about as well as the three stooges. Just so boring.

Also unless there's a big swerve I'm a bit flat that this final boss heel version of Rock seems to be over and he is back to being a face. He's so much better as a heel it's not funny. If he hasn't come after Cody or Roman by the rumble he isn't doing mania.

Liv doing the frog splat wasn't half bad.

it was more of a splat (frog motion vertical) than splash (frog motion horizontal)

Paul Levesque comments on SmackDown going back to two hours

WWE's Paul Levesque recently said that Smackdown a three-hour will switch back to two hours sometime down the line.

SD going back to 2 hours for a time?

 

[nobbyiscool]

He looked a bit rattled at first before he started his promo.

I think that's part of what made me so happy, was the consequences of his own ignorance and stupidity hitting him straight upside the face. Bit harder when it's not just stupid screaming MAGA morons. I want to see the backstage footage, cos I imagine his reaction was just one of shell-shock, and a sudden realisation that he's not for this crowd any more.

Which is the other part of what makes me so happy - he isn't for us any more. Maybe wrestling deserved it's reputation as being a lowbreed hick sport in the past, but it is absolutely not my experience of attending heaps of wrestling, or of discussing wrestling online.

At some point - I think maybe TNAs Knockouts had a bit to do with it, I think 'Give Divas a Chance' (and Evolution PPV) had a bit to do with it, I think Speaking Out had a bit to do with it, I think people like Effy and Anthony Bowens and Sonya Deville and a bunch of others have had a bit to do with it - at some point as recently as the last 15 years or so, wrestling audiences became pretty damn progressive. And I never thought it was wrestling companies causing fans to become more progressive, it was always the other way around, wrestling companies have always been guided by the values of its audiences.

And so is the case with Hogan - despite his increasing outspokenness, it wasn't him that moved away from wrestling fans, it was us as smarter, more progressive fans, who believe in opportunities for women and minorities in wrestling, moving away from his dinosaur bullshit.

The fact that the biggest company in the world, with the biggest audience in the world, was so roundly prepared to tell it's greatest ever star that he could get ****ed and they didn't want to hear from him any more gives me some hope despite the result of their election.
