WWE GETS FAST AND FURIOUS (WWE Fastlane) Official Thread

[Hanso Amore]

To all who are complaining about the outcome of the main event.....

Did you see the financials for WWE last quarter?

Have you looked at their ratings?

Making a profit and having a good product are two separate things.

And if they keep making money then great for them. That's why there are I business. But it's still a bad product.

Nickel back has sold more records than Elvis Costello.

He was being sarcastic and summoning his inner "The CyNick" with that one.

[drave]

He yelled Milhouse at that guy, lol

[Shisen Kopf]

Undertaker vs Sting in a chess match. Biker/surfer and all that noise.

[Jordan]

LOL

[Heisenberg]

gotta have the biker/surfer, it's the only way, how many times do we have to remind everybody, dammit

[Evil Vito]

If it's not Biker Undertaker vs. Surfer Sting, the entire crowd should stand with their backs to the ring for the duration of the match.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Watched bits and pieces. No idea why they had Ambrose hit Reigns with the chair repeatedly, they had the effect of an open hand slap. Weird finish, like almost Cena getting DDT on concrete worthy.

[VSG]

It could be argued that Ambrose "lost it" and didn't realize that Reigns' suit would protect him from chair shots to the back.

[Big Vic]

Good thing the "toughest guy" in the WWE wears all that armor.

[The CyNick]

I can sort of see thr, but at the same time, the wwe is scripted and formulaic

We are 5 weeks out with no thing but one match, the biggest match, on the card that no one cares to see and a story we have seen over and over.

It's not hard for someone who has been watching for 20 years to look at the current roster, and the stories in place to figure out there isn't much we could enjoy coming down the road.

Look where we stand...teased Lesnar issues with a Wyatt family that just went down to big show and Kane and rybacl. They might have some injured members. There is no way in 5 weeks they can make me care about that.

If we are lucky they go Ambrose vs Lesnar which is suggested. That could be great, but where we stand now is Lesnar is dominate and a major face and Ambrose stands no chance and is the next biggest face in the company. The match would be epic but I don't see them booking it in a way we would jump for joy.

Undertaker is facing God knows who. Could be great, but unless they bring out a shocking name, who is going to care? This is his last ride, pun intended, so I don't see a big name putting him over, and we have 5 weeks of part time taker to set it up.

New day appears to be turning face and going after the league of nations. That alone makes the most entertaining part of the show boring,

They have a lot of potential in the mid card with aj, Owens, Ziegler etc but they will be thrown into a fun spot fest match that will be the best part of mania with no solid build up.

The divas could be the saving grace if we get a Becky, Sascha, Charlotte three way where they get time to bring down the roof.

Unless the WWe changes the way they have been doing things for years, on the 5 weeks before the biggest event in their history, then yeah, it's ok for us to bitch because we do know what's coming.

I'd be willing to bet I could write a card today that would be damn near what they put out.

On the bright side, you'll have 4 spare hours on a sunday that I'm sure you will use effectively.

[The CyNick]

I don't find Brock stale at all. Thought he worked his fucking tail off in that match.

The finish was MEH. Just because Dean and Brock didn't win doesn't mean they need to be afterthoughts post match. It would make more sense for them to be pissed and there to be SOMETHING with them and Roman post match, instead of them disappearing for a heatless staredown between Roman and H.

IN SAYING THAT, it was a very fun match. The problem is, they are so inside the box that they could not figure out how to book that finish without enraging the crowd. It's so BLAH, "Okay Roman wins and then he stares at the Mania sign until HHH comes down and everyone will for some reason think this is a huge deal because BUSINESS"

Why not have a bit of an angle afterwards to make fans give the slightest fuck about the build?

You got a bunch of TV for crazy hijinx. The big news to end the night was we know the main event.

I love the storyline and execution. Another example of WWE telling a story for multiple months and paying off the story with its logical conclusion. HHH still has an aura about him. Thank God they didn't listen to the IWC and put Sting over HHH last year. A lot of people looking silly now. Roman now gets his big moment, and they've got the right guy in there to put him over properly.

Ambrose vs Lesnar should be a fun match as well.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I hope they go Lesnar vs Ambrose

[#1-norm-fan]

Feel like they're still gonna go Lesnar vs Wyatt. Lesnar just walking away like a bitch after they took him out at the rumble still needs a resolution. It was fucking bizarre.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

May have been the intention but they called an audible OR it was a sloppy rushed together loophole to explain Lesnar getting eliminated.

[Jazzy Foot]

So the Undertaker ends his career with a loss to Shane McMahon?
