I don't get it

I know they have used the "DAY ONE" thing for a long time...... like they have been tag partners since day one (AKA their birth, being twins)........

Dunno why they added the "ISH" or why it might be pushing PG limits.......

They're getting the Nintendo Switch on Day One... Ish.

Good heavens, no. It was much worse than that.

I was referencing the Negrodamus skit from Chappelle Show. Equating Crews with Wayne Brady, Lashley with Bryant Gumbel, and New Jack with Malcolm X.

Be mad at me for the right reason, good sir.

Anybody Thrilla 02-23-2017 03:50 PM

Who's mad? I was just asking.

Lock Jaw 02-23-2017 03:54 PM

Whoa, calm down ABT.

Chill out.......

#BROKEN Hasney 02-23-2017 03:55 PM

When it comes to Apollo Crews, I would take him over Taye Diggs, but below Terry Crews

#BROKEN Hasney 02-23-2017 03:58 PM

Nah, but for real, his promos are bad but away from that, I was enjoying him in the battle royal, then the enzuguri to Dolph was great. Then he looked like a fucking moron standing on the bottom rope.

He can have a manager and mitigate the promo thing, he's fun in the ring that will overcome that, but fuck me they just book him to look stupid.

Evil Vito 02-23-2017 04:02 PM

Apollo Crews is depressing. The guy is great in the ring but holy shit he is possibly the most boring character on the roster. There is no depth to him at all.

Really not sure why they rushed him up from NXT. He was only on NXT television for a brief period of time. He should've stayed down and developed a character.

Cool King 02-23-2017 04:05 PM

I like Apollo Crews and he is a bit on the boring side, but he's not as boring as Baron Corbin in my opinion.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-23-2017 04:09 PM

Yeah, I get that Apollo is Vinces wet dream, but I want to think thatat least one person said that he he needed to stay back and work on a character.

Like Corbin had nothing when he started on NXT TV, but gained a character. Sure, bar his 2 really actually awesome moves, he has nothing to offer in the ring. But he has a character, and that goes further in WWE than workrate.

Hell, that Baron/Apollo match had Baron look better because just because he yelled "GO BACK TO RING OF HONOR" even though Apoloo never wrestled there.

SIDE NOTE: 'Why? because Baron Corbin' best not become a signature line.

Anybody Thrilla 02-23-2017 04:10 PM

I have to disagree there. Corbin's intentions at least make sense.

Anybody Thrilla 02-23-2017 04:11 PM

I like "Because Baron Corbin". It's just stupid enough to work.

Also, it's a way to say BBC on PG TV. Really pushing the limit again.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-23-2017 04:13 PM

If they shorten it to "Why? Because BBC" Im on board. Hell, I'll even buy merch if Corbin and Crews tag up but that line stays.

Seeing and hearing "BBC" just makes me think of my TV channels.

Only reason I can think of is maybe they wanted to do something similar with Kalisto in the sense of using his as the new main star for a certain demographic.

Kalisto was meant to replace Rey and Del Rio as the star for the Hispanic market and maybe Crews was meant to do the same with African Americans.

Just like Kalisto, WWE didn't know what to do with him after the initial run and his early struggles.

Go to a porn site and type in BBC.

Cool King 02-23-2017 04:21 PM

Oh, I know what it stands for but what I'm saying is that "BBC" will always initially make me think of my TV channels before what you're referencing.

"Coming to Fox this fall, Corbin and Crews"

Crews: I don't care how you cops did it in Chicago! But here in LA we do things by the book!

Corbin: I play by my own rules!

The overrating of her does genuine annoy me, so I do like razzing you guys who are shameless marks for her.

I would put them on equal par tbh. I don't think Becky has it in her to be a big star. I think Alexa has a higher ceiling because of her age and lack of experience.

That being said, I think being a heel is easier than being a face.

I actually think Natalya is the best worker on Smackdown and think she deserves to be in the title mix. She was carrying Nikki (vocals on Smackdown made it clear) to some really good matches.

Hoping she makes the trade to Raw in the next draft and breaks up the repetition there.

I feel like Becky has more genuine charisma. She won me over with her brief run in NXT. It really felt like she was going to be forgotten on the main roster, but she managed to "connect." Not in a HUGE way, but in a genuine way. Of course, shitty booking has led to that being pissed on and I do agree that the time to make her a genuine star may have passed.

It is easier being a heel than a face and Alexa does your most basic heel package ever. "I'm a bitch, look at my bitch face, insult the babyfaces." She's also trash in the ring. I actually agree that Becky's face work can get "boring," but how you can then turn around and say that Alexa is "good" fucking baffles me. I wish I could find a gif of that moonsault that almost killed her. Yeah, mistakes happen, but I think the only match I haven't seen her botch in was the Six-Pack where they crowned a champion. Everything else has been the equivalent of Kelly Kelly trying to run the ropes. I don't believe in her yet, because you can see the gears turning all he time, and that's because she's only been doing this for a few years. She's a human being -- she's allowed to have a massive learning curve, but I find it fucking insulting to someone like Natalya, who can have good matches with her muscle fucking memory (unless she's in there with a Nikki Bella) that people say Alexa is "better" than her overall.

This would be like people saying Chris Masters was better than Shawn Michaels after he just debuted in 2005 when he was as green as baby shit. It's cool you guys are fans. I actually believe that Alexa Bliss has a TON of potential. I see a lot of Trish Stratus in her. In fact, once a bunch of the people here have taken a cold shower and a fresh hot girl comes along, I bet you I am the one singing Alexa Bliss' praises when she is actually good while people here are saying shit like "Are you fucking kidding me, man?!? This new girl is so much better. It's not just because she's hot. I mean, it doesn't matter that she almost broke her neck on RAW this week, because she plays her character really well. I mean, she just comes out and says "Hi everybody, maybe if I win I'll have sex with you," but she is such a good babyface man. How can you not see that?"

Lock Jaw at least admitted it -- she is overrated as hell around here. If you were to rate her as a wrestler, the highest you could honestly give her is a 6, surely. Because he ring work is average -- AT BEST. She has never had a genuinely GREAT match. Her promos are good -- AT BEST. They might even be considered well written, but they are easily forgotten as they are your usual episodic bullshit. One thing she has is a great look. Maybe not in terms of height, although I think it would make a sympathetic babyface and as a veteran allows her to be a great heel; but she is hot as fuck and looks like a star that should be on television somewhere. She has got about as much potential as any woman on the roster -- but you can't rate her objectively, now, based on potential. Just give her time before you start declaring her the best female wrestler in the world, for fuck's sakes.

Mr. Nerfect 02-23-2017 09:30 PM

I hate The Usos on the mic, by the way. Haven't heard any of their heel shit though. But their babyface shtick was AWFUL.

So, you're saying "No", you didn't see their promo Tuesday night? If not, search it on YT. You won't be disappointed.

Mr. Nerfect 02-24-2017 08:10 AM

I'll give it a go. I didn't like the timing of their heel turn. I think they could have pissed off people with more face stuff and then done the turn when they were going to go somewhere with it. Feels like they have "cooled off."

Oh god, I tapped out at 1:13.

Mr. Nerfect 02-24-2017 08:42 AM

That was good?!? What's going on with you guys lately? Come on. I do like that their look is coming together, although "Day One Ish" is dumb. They are still playing around in the paint, but they are just trying to be an angry version of it.

Big Vic 02-24-2017 08:54 AM

"Day one ish" is something that......Urban people say.

Evil Vito 02-24-2017 09:24 AM

Pretty sure Noid is never going to enjoy WWE again.

Was going to say the same thing. Noid needs a new hobby.

Ol Dirty Dastard 02-24-2017 11:12 AM

He's pretty critical for someone with such terrible fantasy booking ideas.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-24-2017 11:15 AM

Like, I'd get it if he enjoyed NJPW and was just critical of WWE or something, but he straight up doesn't enjoy wrestling.

Big Vic 02-24-2017 12:21 PM

I miss the days when he thought Doug Bashem should be WWE champ.... Or when he went full on "Evil Noid"

Cool King 02-24-2017 02:15 PM

Or those Val Venis mega-fan days.

Those were good times.

Cool King 02-24-2017 02:15 PM

Damn, I tried to find that photo that someone here made years ago of Val Venis with the WWE Championship walking down the ramp at WrestleMania XIX with confetti everywhere but I can't find it anywhere.
