WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion - Part VII

[Nugett]

Reigns would be the number 1 star in wrestling on almost every metric.

I’m sure there is the tiniest of discrepancies in US ratings with an age group somewhere someone could find, if so desperate.

That’s a no from me. PWI didn’t list him as number 1 either and for good reason.

He is good on the mic, but not great.

His in-ring work is consistent, but doesn’t do something that is memorable, I’m highly doubtful if he comes anywhere close to having a 5 star match in his career.

His story telling in the ring is non existent

The only thing he has is a look and being the rock’s cousin.

I can think of at least a dozen people, I’d rather watch before Roman, in both promo’s and matches.

 

[Nugett]

So his best matches are still triple threats when he doesn't have to do much more than his 2 moves of doom? So nothing's changed.

If in ring was the standard he'd be lucky to make top 100 in wrestling today.

the hair flip one of his 2 moves of doom?

Roman will never have a memorable match, let alone a 5 star classic. I can’t understand why people are excited for a potential Rock vs Roman match at wrestlemania to be honest.

 

[glenn2479]

One of the best PPVs of this year from anyone. Shame it was over there.

WWE set such a low bar for themselves. How do you give a PPV such a high rating when nothing means nothing. Tell me the care factor on any of the results?

 

[Grockadoc]

I guess we can lock in Roman vs Brock rematch at WM

Yeah. Plans have changed apparently. The rumours going around was Rock V Roman, but with crowds now back, Vince wants that match at Mania in LA. With thebfeud likely continuing until Mania, hopefully this doesn't llead to a Lesnar rumble win.

 

[ptrg]

If you watch the start of the Brock roman match, a bunch of dignitaries/royals come down and decide they want to sit in the front few rows.
So they proceed to kick out whoever is sitting there, kids and all.
Lots of finger pointing and presumably beheading threats at the kids and other clearly wrestling-fan dudes they punt out.

**** I hate this place.

Yep and having Roman beat the rock is just so stupid, but gotta keep pushing the look!

It’s amazing how going away to film a movie made so many people suddenly fall in love with him. His best matches are triple threats or hardcore matches where he can have long rest breaks.

 

[eddiesmith]

But it’s not thank god. There’s so much more to wrestling than wrestling.

Well he can’t talk that’s why he’s got Heyman.

But hey if your idea of good wrestling is a bloke being beat up for 15 minutes and then suddenly going Roar!!! Punching someone and winning, good luck to you.

There’s a reason WWE viewership is so low…

GILLBERG!!

 

[BEEG]

seeing the Bunny beat Roman Reigns, I’m a Bunny fan

Demo Man.

 

[BEEG]

Roman doing pretty well considering.

Can't talk.
Can't wrestle.

 

[Nugett]

Roman doing pretty well considering.

Can't talk.
Can't wrestle.

basically on par with Nia Jax

I don’t mind Roman at all. He’s good at everything but great at nothing. I think his in-ring work is a bit better than what people give him credit for. He’s just an average wrestler in a below average wrestling company.

 

[BEEG]

The Demo bandits are out today.

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

Their delusion is overwhelming. I’m gonna just let them live in their own world

Has had several 4.5-4.75 rating matches in his career if you take them seriously , most recently with KO, Bryan and Edge but that whole rating system is comical anyway. It's just one blokes opinion that his followers take as gospel.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Their delusion is overwhelming. I’m gonna just let them live in their own world

Delusion? All because they don't share the same personal opinion you do? I think he's a lot better than some feel here but there's no rule saying people have to rate him.

Eddie not worth paying attention to as clearly not watched him since 2015.

 

[Cleavy]

Bianca Bel-Air is no 1 in the PWI Women's Top 150. Utami from Stardom at no 2. Honestly you could make a fair case for either, depending on which company you follow.

Care factor? They had titles on the line, and king and queen of ring titles on the line? Would you say the same about other companies putting on matches over titles etc?

This show was very good one of the best PPVs over any brand all year. It’s a shame it had to happen over there.

 

[Jack Richards]

Over Reigns having to be saved day in and day out.

- saved 3 times against KO
- Saved against Finn Balor
- Saved against Lesnar
- Saved against Cesaro
Yawn...


Goldberg had to be carried that whole Lashley match. Felt bad for Bobby.

Of course he did. He had to be carried in his early to mid 30s how is it going to better in his mid 50s?

In saying that I found that match far more enjoyable than I expected and think it was put together and executed very well given Goldberg's limitations.

Women's title exchange 'appears' to be set for WWE SmackDown

WWE is teasing that a Women's Championship exchange will take place on tonight's episode of SmackDown. Tonight's SmackDown is the first show where WWE's

title exchange again?

 

[Quivorir]

I think it's dumb and surely that can think of better ways to get the belts across but it doesn't annoy me as much as it seems to annoy others.

 

[Quivorir]

Just read the "belt swap" will be the main event. Hopefully some shit goes down

 

[Cleavy]

Just read the "belt swap" will be the main event. Hopefully some sh*t goes down

I'm hoping for the return of Asuka to kill both of them, since she's a free agent
