WWE: Blood Money 6...6...Sixx. I guess.

[Sepholio]

Edge and Rollins opening the show and going for like 30 minutes thus far inspired me to make this thread. Banger of a match so far.

[drave]

edge just got FUCKED Up

[Sepholio]

fffffffffuuuuuuu.......Rollins just put Edge through a table via sunset bomb from the top of the ladder. RIP.

[Sepholio]

RIP to Rollins crown jewels.

[drave]

botchstomp xD

[Sepholio]

That was a hell of an opener. No way that gets topped tonight.

[Sepholio]

botchstomp xD

lol for once the quick cut camera angles saved that from looking way worse.

Nvm, they showed the botched angle in the replay lmao

[drave]

This card could be a Mania card.... jesus. Just now looking it up.

[Evil Vito]

I just hope the crew will be able to get out without basically being held hostage.

Biggest show of the year. No thread until 30 minutes after it started. RIP WWE

[Sepholio]

Yeah Mansoor def goes over here. Could still be a good match though. I really like Mansoor tbh. Didn't know how I felt about him after he won that initial tourny or w/e to get a contract, but since they've started using him more he has definitely grown on me a lot.

AEW out of their regular timeslot again this week because of regular season white guys ice skating. RIP AEW.

Are you saying being moved for white guys ice skating is terrible but being moved for white guys swinging bats and running in circles isn’t?

Seph hates Canadians.

[drave]

too bad they didn't bring out Mohammed Hassan

[drave]

Let it be Ernest The Cat Miller

[Sepholio]

Remind me which of those things is currently in the semifinals and gets WAY more viewers?

[xrodmuc316]

This thread should be renamed to

Go away with this nonsense.

[#1-norm-fan]

Are they going to be allowed to say “bitch” or “shit” in Saudi Arabia? If not, I’m not sure it’s worth turning in.

[drave]

Only if R-Truth is there to let them know it's not PG!

[Evil Vito]

Remember when Shawn Michaels held firm on his own retirement match stip for a decade just to come back and wrestle a throwaway match in Saudi Arabia?

[#1-norm-fan]

I’ll give them some credit. WWE airing their biggest show of the year at noon just to avoid competition from the TPWW Thursday Night Watch-along is the smartest thing they’ve done in years.

[Sepholio]

Well no one on Earth can top TPWW Thursday Night Watch-along if we're being honest. 100% of the audience is in the key demo after all!

Boring heel promo

[Bad News Gertner]

all the woke dweebs are so upset on twitter that people are enjoying this show.

[Sepholio]

wtffffffff Queen Zelina is not what I saw coming. I figured she would get buried here.

[drave]

no hold barred....




there will be fuckery with Hurt Business and the boy

lol, buncha fake ass wokesters.

[drave]

at least it isn't for the title

[drave]

spear through table.....

[xrodmuc316]

Go away with this nonsense.

Come on Drave, that was funny :rofl:

[Sepholio]

The amount of sweat coming off of Lashley could end all droughts around the world.

As long as they dont say the Arabic version of the word they should be ok :rofl:

[Sepholio]

I still don't understand who the hell keeps putting kendo sticks everywhere at all these events and why they even have them in the first place.

[Lock Jaw]

I still don't understand who the hell keeps putting kendo sticks everywhere at all these events and why they even have them in the first place.

One of the ring crew members practices the martial art of kendo and keeps storing his sticks under the ring, thinking it a safe place..... and never learns his lesson.

[Jordan]

I just turned on as Xavier/Balor went on. Really good match, Xavier totally gonna kill it with a decent singles push. Ultra charisma with that dude. Currently Drew/Big E are slapping meats in a pretty kick ass match. I may have to go back and watch some or the rest of the show. The arena/set up is awesome and the fans are really into the show. Feels like the people there are really getting into WWE.

[Jordan]

Lol nice holy shit chant breaks out after Big E kicks out of the glaymore. This is good shit.

[Jordan]

Has the rest of the show been as good as the past two matches?

[Sepholio]

Yeah its been a pretty damn good show tbh

[Bad News Gertner]

No, you're not allowed to enjoy it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I didn’t think it would be a terrible show, but I’m surprised at how good to seems to be coming off.

When WWE doesn’t overcomplicate things and just tells a story for a live audience, they do a much better job than they normally would.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Xavier Woods, in theory, has got the potential to actually benefit off King of the Ring. For most guys, it’s an albatross.

[Sepholio]

I can not express how much I hate the replacement ref showing up 5 minutes later just in time to count spot. So. Stupid. Especially when he clearly can see all of the DQ offenses on his way out and just chooses to ignore them. They can handle that spot so much better than that.

[asphyXy]

As a hockey fan, NHL on TNT is a big deal. They haven't been in ESPN or any related brand in 17 years, so I'll let regular season ice boys bump my favorite wrestling program.

[slik]

There's your set-up for Brock/Roman at WM38 in Dallas.

My other guess is Ronda/Becky.

[GD]

Welp...totally forgot there was a show.

[GD]

Yikes at a /r/SquaredCircle comment.

the woman who was left off the 9/11 tribute show due to time constraints gets to win a gimmick title in front of the government who killed her dad

[Bad News Gertner]

What a top to bottom fantastic show. AEW has got to be scared.

R.I.P

[GD]

I skimmed through clips on Reddit and am typing out three paragraphs for each match :cool:

[xrodmuc316]

I still don't understand who the hell keeps putting kendo sticks everywhere at all these events and why they even have them in the first place.

Ummm, just in case Steve Blackman shows up. Nobody wants to face his wrath if there are no kendo sticks.

[Evil Vito]

Really happy for Woods.

[GD]

Really happy for Woods.

Agreed. Sometimes predictable is good. WWE needs to taker it easy on the godawful swerves.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Really happy for Woods.

Same. It's about time they give him a chance to shine as a singles guy

Also, while we're at it, why not let all 3 New Day guys focus on that? Their group had a solid run after a shaky start trying to establish them as a heel team at first, but they could disband them as a team for good now without harming any of them. Maybe give them occasional little "reunion" appearances for fun, but yeah.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Can’t remember if I posted this or not somewhere else:

When New Day were drafted it kind of surprised me. But I guess the idea was for Big E to stand alone. Cool. I wasn’t entirely convinced Kofi & Woods would remain a tag team though. They’ve done them and The Usos on SmackDown before (not that it would stop them now). But when I saw the whinging that SmackDown didn’t get main eventers, I knew it meant more spots for guys to step into. New Day were at the top of that list.

I can see the merit in keeping them aligned forever and a day as brothers in solidarity. There’s merchandising and a feel-good story there. I can also see the merit in a feud between members. The New Day have been together for almost 7 years now (!). Has a tag team lasted that long? Honest question.

Kofi could really pop as a heel. So many different ways to go about it. He can be such a magnificent prick. Woods could go heel too, but I’d rather see him earn his way as a baby. But I think they’ve entered into this strange zone where a split would genuinely be “shocking.” And the WWE needs stories beyond Roman and whatever he is doing.

I worry Woods is going to do the goofy thing and act like an actual king. I hate that. He could do it better than most. But I hope they don’t do that. I worry about the tournament being an albatross more than anything. But of all potential winners in the brackets, it did feel like it “evolves” him the most. Whatever they do. It’s got this weird feeling of being a feather in his cap. I can imagine him watching Bret Hart in ‘93 and marking out. Now he gets to do it. There’s something in it.

I hope the intentions are good and the results are plentiful for whoever is involved. My prediction is that Happy Corbin tries to buy his crown back and he Madcap Moss feud with The New Day for weeks. Whatever. But I feel this is a good step for Woods. I remember there was a random US Title tournament a few years ago heading into WrestleMania I actually thought he should win. It would have just been “cool” to have Woods doing something as a single for a while.

I dunno. Let’s see where this goes (haunting words).

[Gerard]

How did lashley get the large cut on his arm?

[drave]

Wrasslin Goldberg

[Sepholio]

R-A-S-S-L-I-N That's rasslin (Goldberg)

[Sixx]

Cool name for an event.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cool name for an event.

By modern standards, it isn’t that bad.

Apparently there are metrics to support the WWE using gimmick match names for their PPVs, but I just can’t personally stand it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, you know this show was good because you can hear Bryan Alvarez shift nervously in his chair as he tries to brush it away as he recapped it. Got to minimalize the giant.

[RP]

I watched this show.


The Saudis are either retarded or they have wayyyy to much money to spend, or most likely both. This entire show was basically what you see on RAW every Monday night.



The Reigns vs Lesnar match ended in a classic RAW finish - Can be seen on RAW all the time


Goldberg nearly kills himself doing a spear - Can be seen on RAW all the time


2 low end mid carders winning something that should matter ( KoTR ) only to get a half ass'ed push that will end abruptly in 3 weeks. - Can be seen on RAW all the time


No one gives any fucks about the tag matches - Can be seen on RAW all the time



Things I kinda liked:


Xavier Woods vs Finn Balor was good but Finn should have won. It makes way too much sense to make Finn Balor the KoTR. They just continue to shit on this guy and it makes no sense


Big E beating McIntyre was ok. McIntyre is another guy that is so shit on and has gotten such a bad run of cards in this company. And for fuck sakes please lose that sword. It's fucking retarded.


Becky winning via cheating made sense. I didnt mind that. Average triple threat match.


Edge vs Rollins was decent. I think it would be better if Edge were a full time guy, but whatever. It was good.


And Goldberg nearing killing himself on that spear off the stage was the feel good story of the night. A good ole' fashioned time I didnt realize I needed.

[RP]

Metzler and Alvarez are so unbearable but the difference between the two is that when I see Alvarez talk about wrestling, I want to knife fight him. What a fucking douche bag.

It's because the thread title has his name in it.....
