WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion - Part VII

[eDPS]

Jeez HIAC sucked hard.

 

[catters_28]

Announced Reigns and Bryan v Rowan and Harper in a cage match for the live show in Melbourne.

Has there been a cage match in Melbourne before?

I saw Cena and Edge in one as a kid back in 06

Still struggling to compute how you get a DQ finish in a cell match?

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Hahaha trust WWE to do something like that. And what was with the lighting!?

I’m just a Rumble/Mania guy at this stage but I’m going to struggle to justify that.

Really hoping AEW makes a good go of it.

 

[Cleavy]

I remembered at least two

• Shinsuke Nakamura Vs Samoa Joe for the NXT title when NXT did a tour here in 2016
• Seth Rollins Vs Dean Ambrose for the WWE title (can't remember which year that was)

Could be wrong, but wasn’t there a cage match with Cena on a tour?

edit: already covered above, at least my memory isn’t failing me yet

 

[RossFC]

Seth Rollins has to be a heel soon. He’s been getting negative reactions for months now. That HIAC booking was absolutely horrendous and hurt both Rollins and Wyatt.

Can't turn every face who gets booed, a heel. All faces get booed. It's the way WWE is booking them. Don't see Cody getting huge negative reactions.

I agree with that, I felt it’s happened since Cena in ‘06. It’s been 13+ years and they can barely get it right. Punk and Bryan IMO the biggest 2 fulltime faces that got properly cheered in this period. But 1 got driven away, 1 got injured.

Don't see Cody getting a huge reaction full stop-- where does this myth come from that Cody is some 'uber face'; the crowd was positively mild for him when he 'made the save' for the Bucks last Wednesday; Dustin got a louder pop than Cody did.

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

Promote this man.

Lol you can't help yourself can you.

Cody is the most over face at the moment by far.
It's why he has a title shot.

The crowd has been loving him lately, he didn't get a huge pop because he already wrestled earlier that night. Also Cody isn't shoved down our faces as some perfect, cookie cutter babyface. He is just him and sometimes acts heelish, but has a likeable personality and isn't booked the way Seth is.

I agree with that, I felt it’s happened since Cena in ‘06. It’s been 13+ years and they can barely get it right. Punk and Bryan IMO the biggest 2 fulltime faces that got properly cheered in this period. But 1 got driven away, 1 got injured.

Because they let Punk and Bryan show their personality. Cena cut out most things that made him likeable to begin with, they let him get some of it back with the feud with Rock and he flourished.

They need to let their faces show a bit more.

So AEW gave him a title shot because he's popular?
Or because he 'has the best win/loss record'?
Or because he's an EVP?

One TV show in and it already appears there's inconsistency in to the reason he's been given a title shot.

But anyway-- back to WWE.

Such an attitude era start to the show--- the action already underway with Orton & Corbin beating down Rusev; then the Lashley video interruption. (Even if it's awkward AF)

 

[ptrg]

Wtf is this. I hope the crowd riot.

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

I didn't think I could've seen a worse start than Rollins coming out explaining his actions.
I was wrong

 

[ptrg]

I thought similar “I bet they’ll bring out Seth to save Rusev and get crowd on his side”, and thought that would burn them so badly.

This was worse.

Literally no mention of the main event so far!

The opening recap wasn’t about the main event/main championship, or the epic women’s cage match. Nah, it’s some shithouse storyline from a raw last week.. wowee

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

So are we just ignoring the main event of their P.P.V last night?

 

[Shade]

Brehs i think the docs need to check if Vince is suffering some sort of brain deficiencies.

Blokes gonna go to the grave serving up this garbage.

 

[Shade]

Also the commentary people on RAW are straight trash.

who the **** is Dio Madden?

 

[ptrg]

Wow, straight into a C grade last person standing match.

Am I watching Heat or Velocity so far??

 

[Unknown Identity]

Raw starts before it even goes to air.
Recap Raw from last Monday but no HIAC.

HHH - "Vince how do we fix this"

Vince - "We pretend it never happened and give them bewbs, Bewbs is good shit"

 

[ptrg]

Also the commentary people on RAW are straight trash.

who the fu** is Dio Madden?

He’s the guy who last week said you need to man up and fight him, about Dominic sitting innocently in the crowd as a member of the public being taunted by former UFC champion Brock Lesnar.

 

[ptrg]

There is literally zero chance Natalya wins this. Zero.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Good, Lacey can be a lil botchy but she's one of the very few women's wrestlers that has an aura about her and some presence.

Would make a killer heel champ.
