WWE Payback Thread

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't wanna start a whole thing here, but do you even enjoy watching WWE?

James Steele is exaggerating and going overboard with his criticism of you, but it does seem like the majority of the your time here is spent shitting on the booking.

Oh, the booking is nonsensical shit that doesn't get anyone over most of the time. I like a lot of the wrestlers though. They keep me invested to the point where I can watch PPVs and keep track of Raw. Plus the part-timers are well handled because... well they have to be. Their appearances are too few and far between to not be handled with actual care.

LOL Did Josh just start that by casually saying "Well, the Chicago Cubs will probably never win a world series..." #heel

They never will win if they're always in the same division as the Cardinals.

MAIN EVENT TIME

[Theo Dious]

They are stupid for putting Cena/Ryback on after Punk/Jericho. I know it is the title and all, but this is a special situation.

#wweapologistfail :nono:

[Theo Dious]

There has to be some kind of swerve about to happen here.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Assuming they were going for a double turn, it was brilliantly done.

That being said, I don't think WWE believes in Ziggler being main event material for one second. They realize he can always be counted on for a great match, but he'll probably never be more than he is now.</font>

[Theo Dious]

Nice chops Punk.

This. I'm hoping they don't turn ADR again though. He's only 7 months removed from being turned face because he'd gotten bland as a heel. He's still got legs as a face. They just need to put him in something interesting.

[Innovator]

The vacation was good for CM Punk. The bags under his eyes aren't as poofy and he doesn't look like he's been on a 3 week bender.

TURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[James Steele]

Can't believe WWE is using the predictable counter finisher fest in this match. Try something new, Vince. You unoriginal piece of shit. #WWEApologist #ShittyBookingAllOverThePlace #FuckYouVince

[Tb1]

Heyman's turning

[James Steele]

Is that better, #1-wwf-fan?

[Theo Dious]

Heyman's turning

That's my feeling, he hasn't done anything dastardly in a very long time.

[James Steele]

What design does CM Punk have on his tights? He usually has some underlying meaning when he wears special tights.

[Tb1]

Chicago Blackhawks

[Nark Order]

Ziggler losing is pretty unacceptable.

[James Steele]

Chicago Blackhawks

Nice.

[Savio]

That's it for the code breaker.

[#1-norm-fan]

Ziggler losing is pretty unacceptable.

I'd prefer they push him to the title as opposed to with the title.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fucking Del Rio champ again. Waste of a fucking cash in. :n:

[el bobbo]

fuck. stream died

[Theo Dious]

small package = best wrestling move name ever

[James Steele]

Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon are tied for best facials in the business.

[James Steele]

Nice finish.

or

Typical predictable finish by lazy ass dumb fucking WWE writers. They bury Jericho and make CM Punk look weak. These guys have no fucking direction now. Jesus, how fucking hard is it to string together storylines. THAT IS YOUR FUCKING JOB! Jesus, now these guys are wandering around with nothing to do while Cena hogs the belt and main event. Fucking stupid.

[Innovator]

God damn, that was a match

[#1-norm-fan]

KICK HIM IN THE NUTS, PAUL!!!

I absolutely loved the match. There was a part of me that wanted Chris Jericho to win via submission :)

I bet RAW sucks tomorrow because WWE sucks and Vince has no fucking clue what he is doing. The Shield looks weak now.

And now to completely kill the crowd, SHIELD AND BRYAN TIME...with Orton

[James Steele]

lol James Steele resorting to making up quotes. Adorable. #SmellingHisOwnSpeckledPiecesOfShit

I'm just mocking you for your typical posts since they are the specks of shit that have come to cover TPWW as of late.

[Tb1]

Certainly felt like something was supposed to happen at the end of that Punk match. Strange

[Immortal Moose]

That was an awesome match

[GD]

You gotta love D Bryan, dawg!

[Innovator]

Good luck Cena

[GD]

Since when did Daniel Bryan started doing the "Yes! Yes!" chants?

[Innovator]

I keep waiting for Justin Roberts to slip when announcing Orton and call him the Sexual Predator

[Theo Dious]

I don't want to see the Shield lose the belts just yet, but it would be awesome as hell to have Bryan and Orton as tag champions while Kane just kind of hung around laughing at their inability to get along.

[James Steele]

Also, my shit is full of speckle because I shit gold flake. Even at my worst drizzling shits, it is still infinitely more valuable than your absolute best fibrous shit full of corn and carrots.

[#1-norm-fan]

This current Triple H-Vince McMahon storyline is one of the most innovative things WWE has done since the attitude era.

#SteelesSpeckledShit

[Corndad]

C'mon Daniel.

[James Steele]

You should eat more carrots, #1-wwf-fan. They help you see better.

[James Steele]

Pulling your head out of your ass would help too.

[Arrogance]

Team Gorm seems to be absent tonight.

And not one fuck was given.

[#1-norm-fan]

This current Triple H-Vince McMahon storyline is one of the most innovative things WWE has done since the attitude era. Also, I only came here to bitch.

[James Steele]

#SteelesSpeckledShit

I think WWE is smart to start building toward a long term story arc about a very real and important question for WWE going forward. What the hell will happen to the WWE when Vince is gone? We all know Trips and Steph are taking over, but what exactly does that mean? Will Vince give up power easily or will he run WWE until he dies? It is an intriguing story to see develop as a power struggle and a balance of love and hate. Of course, some can't see this because of their blinding hatred for HHH/Steph and their unyielding apathy toward WWE.

[James Steele]

You only came here to provide a tidal wave of horrible posts and pathetic attempts at wit.

[James Steele]

ie. #YouAreAHorriblePieceOfShitWhoNeedsToOnlyWatchTNAAndChokeOnDixieCartersDebitCardSheHasFromHerDaddy

Why does Randy Orton get RVD chants? He got it on RAW after WM and now tonight.

But seriously. Go check. I literally only came here to bitch.

[James Steele]

#1-wwf-fan, are you so fucking dumb that all of my posts are going over your head?

[Theo Dious]

Well that was another awesome Shield/Bryan match.

[#1-norm-fan]

I waited all month for a thread with this many people in it to watch me bitch/troll. Sorry I was a little late, guys.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

BLACKOUT!

Keep Calm and Believe in the Shield.

[Theo Dious]

I just want every PPV now on to feature Bryan and a new partner vs the Shield.

[FourFifty]

If I was paying for this ppv I'd be pissed at the non wwe advert in the middle of the show.

[James Steele]

What is this PG bullshit commercial about being a good dad. Fuck you, Vince. My father hates me because I am a worthless sack of shit. This is why WWE has no direction or consistent booking.

John Cena is going to earn everyone's respect tonight. He's going to put on the greatest three stages of hell match ever. We will remember this pay-per-view, not for Punk, not for Daniel Bryan, but for the underdog 13-time champion - Juaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... [/Justin Roberts]

[Theo Dious]

Ok so which fall will Cena lose tonight... I'm guessing the tables match.

[#1-norm-fan]

Why would Justin Roberts say all that?

[James Steele]

John Cena will win the first 2 falls and then beat up Ryback more and throw him into the ambulance. John Cena will become the first man to win all 3 falls of a 2/3 Falls match.

#JustHereToBitch

[GD]

Ok so which fall will Cena lose tonight... I'm guessing the tables match.



Wrong! Cena wins the first two falls and forces the third fall although he has retained the belt. He goes on to win that too and cement his legacy forever.

[#1-norm-fan]

Ok so which fall will Cena lose tonight... I'm guessing the tables match.

I'm actually thinking he loses the first fall so they can hype "Ryback pinned the champion".

[James Steele]

If this match is better than either HHH/Austin from NWO2001 or HBK/HHH from Armageddon 2002, I won't mention Triple H for a month.

[#1-norm-fan]

I love JTG.

Also, why give Ryback pyro if they never show it?

[Theo Dious]

Something about Axel and Barrett coming out one after the other like that just doesn't look right.

Ok it was funny when Steele did it because of circumstances. You just look like a cocksucker milking a tired dead-horse meme to look cool. Fuck off.

[James Steele]

Is it a lumberjack table match?

[Theo Dious]

Wow, didn't see that coming.

[#1-norm-fan]

RYBACK HAS WON A FALL ON PPV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[James Steele]

All 30 men hold a table and give it to one of the men when they request it. That'd be more epic than MMA introductions.

[#1-norm-fan]

Cena slipping and falling backward through the table right there would have been more epic than a duct tape finish.

[Arrogance]

So is your mom but you don't see the rest of us complaining.

My mom is dead, she's nothing but troll fodder at this point.

[James Steele]

That's like saying I'd rather get a blowjob from Kaitlyn than get fisted by Ryback.

[slik]

Ryback Rules lol

[Theo Dious]

Dueling chants between the under-12 child and basement-dwelling-virgin crowds.

[James Steele]

I hate to assume things, but I imagine getting fisted by Ryback would hurt far more than it would ever be pleasurable.

"It'll feel good after awhile, I promise." "My ass it will."

[Theo Dious]

You know what was awesome, when Big Show lost the IC title to Cody via stepping off the ring apron...

This is actually a very decently choreographed match so far.

[Theo Dious]

Nice move.

[James Steele]

Has their been an ambulance match in WWE since Shane McMahon/Kane at Survivor Series 2003? I know there have been a few stretcher matches, but I don't remember any ambulance matches.

[parkmania]

We all should have known that Ryback would win the first fall - Cena can't overcome the odds if he's got the lead...

[Emperor Smeat]

Has their been an ambulance match in WWE since Shane McMahon/Kane at Survivor Series 2003? I know there have been a few stretcher matches, but I don't remember any ambulance matches.

Last year was Cena vs Kane. Was part of the whole "embrace the hate" feud and the killing off of Ryder's push/momentum.

[el bobbo]

Will Cena overcome the odds?

[James Steele]

What a dick move. Somebody might need those crutches later...

Apparently this ambulance is made out of giant legos.

AA through top of ambulance.

Almost the same ending as what was done with Kane vs Cena.

Both had the AA from the top of the ambulance but the difference being Kane landed on the floor and Ryback through the ambulance itself.

[Poit]

Justin Roberts said before the match that the only way to win an Ambulance Match was to put your opponent in the ambulance and incapacitate them. At the end of the match, the referee called for the bell without checking whether or not Ryback was actually incapacitated.

Ryback has been screwed again!

[Theo Dious]

How did Cena win the first fall?

[owenbrown]

time for Ryback to be buried now :shifty:

[owenbrown]

I am ready for this PPV to be shit all over in some way on the next podcast

[Cool King]

Usually I enjoy PPV's but for me tonight, Payback was pretty shit. :-\

The only good points of the PPV were the Intercontinental Title match along with Axel's win, the RVD news and the Jericho/Punk match.

Also, the AA through the ambulance roof was pretty obvious. That's the only part of the main event I got right in Tipsters.

[#1-norm-fan]

Usually I enjoy PPV's but for me tonight, Payback was pretty shit. :-\

I thought it was much better than Extreme Rules.

The stream was fucked up a lot during the Shield matches but from what I saw, it was pretty solid all the way through. Even the pre-show match.

[rob11]

Ryback tried to jump into the ambulance to escape. What an act of cowardism!

[Theo Dious]

[Heisenberg]

Pretty fuckin' pumped for RVD

[#1-norm-fan]

Only if Justin Roberts is there to give me a riveting introduction before I go to work.

[redoneja]

Anyone know if there are any streams showing the replay?

[OldSchoolFan]

Anyone know if there are any streams showing the replay?

Yes there are. Why do you ask?

[James Steele]

Great PPV. Every match was good and some were great. Storylines developed, characters evolved, and the RVD announcement is exciting even though I'm not a big fan of the guy. Interested to see where things go with everyone involved in the show.

[el bobbo]

Every match went to a conclusion that either crowned a new champ or gave a sense of fulfillment.

The last match was so predictable, but it was entertaining.

[el bobbo]

God damn I'm pumped for an RVD return.

How will the McMahon family justify hiring a pro-pot guy if they are going to try to buy another election though?

[el bobbo]

Thanks to all who sent me links within this thread. If I didn't rep you, send me a PM to remind me.

[Mr. Pierre]

Great show. I loved the double turn with Ziggler/Del Rio and I look forward to Dolph's chase as a face

[Seth82]

can't wait to see RVD back in the WWE.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AAIfA3NV6oo?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[MIZantine Empire]

is Kaitlyn going to get DQ'd?
dp'd I hope.

[James Steele]

I'm interested to see where RVD will fit into the current landscape of WWE. The gimme is a feud with CM Punk tearing him apart over ruining his career for pot or whatever, but I'm not exactly sure WWE would throw all of that out there so openly. I wonder if Vince saw all those shoot videos he did over the past few years...

[Skippord]

super excited to see RVD even though I didn't think he looked good in TNA when I saw him

[James Steele]

Highlight of the night was Seth82 repping me for this post:

I hate to assume things, but I imagine getting fisted by Ryback would hurt far more than it would ever be pleasurable.

"It'll feel good after awhile, I promise." "My ass it will."

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol at "I'm a Chris Benoit guy" t shirt in the crowd.

[James Steele]

Kind of surprised at that, Gerty. I figured you'd find that sort of thing #gormless.

[Bad News Gertner]

He's a Team Gorm member

[Fignuts]

Feel like RVD's return would have been much better if he would have just come out on raw, instead of just some dumb video telling us he'll be back soon.

[James Steele]

Makes sense.

Gerty, would you be interested in a storyline where RVD helps turn 3MB into a psychedelic rock band?

[Skippord]

Feel like RVD's return would have been much better if he would have just come out on raw, instead of just some dumb video telling us he'll be back soon.
I thought it was a pretty cool video

[James Steele]

Feel like RVD's return would have been much better if he would have just come out on raw, instead of just some dumb video telling us he'll be back soon.

I think it has more to do with the fact they want to sell tickets to a ladder match PPV in Philly. He probably won't show up on WWE TV until the RAW before MITB. Plus, it isn't like RVD is going to cut an awesome promo anyway.

[Bad News Gertner]

RVD would only hold 3MB back. Slater defeated a former World Champ on Smackdown and a former U.S and Tag champ on Superstars. Clearly setting him up for a World Title match at Summerslam vs Cena.

[Bad News Gertner]

I think it has more to do with the fact they want to sell tickets to a ladder match PPV in Philly. He probably won't show up on WWE TV until the RAW before MITB. Plus, it isn't like RVD is going to cut an awesome promo anyway.

MITB is getting to Summerslam and Survivor Series level where it sells itself. Probably the greatest concept the WWE has come up with since Hell In A Cell. A surpise appearence would blow the roof off, especially in an ECW town like Philly.

[James Steele]

A huge pop is nice, but it doesn't make you money. By announcing it a month in advance, every ECW mutant in the Northeast will make sure they get a ticket to the show. Hell, some of them might actually watch the PPV legally instead of streaming it.

[James Steele]

After tonight, I have no idea what they will do with CM Punk or Chris Jericho. CM Punk is basically a face again, and Jericho got beat clean after calling out Punk. No reason to continue the feud, but Punk could go back to heel at the whiff of a fart.

[James Steele]

Punk/HHH II?
Jericho/RVD?
Will they all be in a MITB match?
Who will Cena face next?

Could they go back to Cena/Punk again? Cena could bring up how MITB 2011 still haunts him, and Philadelphia will be just as hostile as Chicago was that night. 2013 is all about John Cena vanquishing his demons/failures, right?

[Bad News Gertner]

That show would sell out regardless

[James Steele]

No guarantees on that. Besides, RVD hasn't been in WWE in 6 years outside of a random Rumble appearance. It gives WWE a chance to introduce him to all the new fans/kids who will probably love him.

[Lock Jaw]

Just finished watching this PPV. The following are my thoughts:

- The IC title match started off real slow, but I eventually got into it. I didn't want Axel to win, mainly because it means Fandango isn't coming back and winning it. I liked the way they did the end of the match, though. Pretty much continued the "Curtis Axel wins matches but in non-credible ways" gimmick.

- I actually cared and got into the Divas Match in a big way. Kaitlyn is still not the greatest wrestler, but she works well with AJ. Good chemistry. I was rooting for Kaitlyn to win, and liked how they did it that "she defeated herself because of her emotions". Interesting to see where they go with Kaitlyn from here. I'm thinking they should have her break and go crazy as well. "All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy" and all that.

- Dean Ambrose vs. Kane..... nothing to write home about. The replay I was watching was of a laggy stream, so I couldn't really get into it.

- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RVD is coming back. Hate that guy so much. This better be a one time thing. I'm ok with a one time thing. CRIMINAL to bring him in when you still have Christian sitting off of TV.

- Dolph Ziggler vs ADR: They really surprised me with this Double Turn business. On the one hand, I am all for turning Ziggler face.... but turning Alberto Del Rio heel again so soon is a mistake. Especially since I think he was doing so well as a Face. Still, I am interested to see where it goes.

The scenario in my head goes that AJ and Big E leave Ziggler to cement his face turn. Ziggler wins MitB again, and this time "vows to do things differently, and cash in at Summerslam, face to face". Meanwhile, AJ then joins up with Kaitlyn, who is now crazy like her, and then the scenario in my head gets NSFW.

- Chris Jericho and CM Punk had a fantastic match. Perhaps the best of their series. Also, they seem to be teasing a CM Punk/Heyman rift/Face Turn which I am all for.

- The Tag Title Match was probably one of the worst matches I have seen that have involved The Shield. Felt rushed. I've been "really into" all the other matches The Shield has had, but didn't have time to get into this one.

- The Cena/Ryback match(es) really surprised me, in that I actually enjoyed it. I don't know where they go with Ryback from here, though.

Did anyone catch what Punk said to Heyman at the end of the match? I'm moderately decent at reading lips and I caught "I can do this by myself."

[Lock Jaw]

There is also a vid on WWE.com of him talking to Heyman saying he isn't his "client", but his "friend".

I'm watching it now. If he did say that, Heyman didn't react at all to it.

I was away so I missed most of it and couldn't get the stream working when I got back. But from reading the results I didn't get the sense that there was a double turn for Del Rio and Ziggler. Did I miss something?

[Tazz Dan]

Just want to point out, I've been speaking of an RVD return forever. So fuck all of you jumping on the bandwagon. All two of you!!!!! :foc:

It was weird. Ziggler kinda played the role of the gutsy face while Del Rio just exploited the concussion. Then after the match Del Rio came back out after the match to brag and cut kind of a weird, arrogant promo telling the crowd to give it up for the new champion.

Like I said earlier, I'm hoping Del Rio doesn't turn again so fast but it looks like that's where they're going.

Interesting

[dronepool]

Bryan vs RVD please..

[CSL]

so I missed this entirely. Should I illegally download and view the whole thing or just check the Punk and Dolph matches (haven't read the thread or anything but I assume they're the ones worth checking)?

[#1-norm-fan]

The whole thing is worth a view. Even the divas match was pretty good.

[#1-norm-fan]

Now that I think about it, the Shield matches may have been the weak spots of the night.

[CSL]

:y:

[DaVe]

incredible crowd, real good show tonight although I felt it tailed off at the end.

Also I don't know how a probably 45 kg woman like AJ takes bumps like that.

[CSL]

Barrett will get some decent music one day

[CSL]

that Buddy Rogers/Pat O'Connor match from 1961 that Cole referenced is still great to watch even today

[CSL]

triple threat started out a bit slow and the crowd tried their hardest to be smarky fuckers but they've really "got them"

[CSL]

ha nice finish. Perfect example for the skinny guyzzz of how it's just not at all difficult to have a decent triple threat without doing a bunch of dumb looking shit

[Bad News Gertner]

Barrett's music was sweet when he first came back from injury.

[CSL]

trying to care about the divas match, it's not really working

[CSL]

reversal out of the fireman's carry into the octopus stretch was pretty swish tho

[CSL]

lol Kaitlyn looking pretty dumb across the board here judging by what seemed to have happened on RAW and then in this, I assume that's been done for a reason. Ehhh match

[CSL]

still hot as fuck

[CSL]

no wonder she ran off, Nattie's man voice isn't gonna comfort anybody

[CSL]

lolllll Cody with that moustache and blazer combo

[CSL]

looks like a flight attendant
