Braun also great

Evil Vito 03-05-2018 10:13 PM

I don't usually buy merch but I think I want to buy that Elias shirt. I want to show support for someone this good.

LOL I thought for a second Braun was gonna pull a Bob Holly à la St. Valentine's Day Massacre '99 and walk all the way to the ring to celebrate. :lol:

Oh no

Emperor Smeat 03-05-2018 10:22 PM

Assuming WWE does the usual 90 seconds for entrants, that 50 Man Rumble match in Saudi Arabia is going to need 72-73 minutes on just getting through all the entrants.

Squashing Heath and Rhyno does nothing to fix or benefit Bray's image.

Bray Wyatt could squash John Cena like he just bulldozed through Rhyno, and I don't think even that would rehab him now.

That's going to be a great triple threat at WM

WWE gets a lot of stuff egregiously wrong, but I can't imagine believing even they would think that a 98 day reign would be A LONGEST REIGN record.

For someone rumored to be in the midst of a huge push, WWE has a really weird way of showing it for the Miz.

Dark One 03-05-2018 10:54 PM

Miz should probably go to Halloween parties as a drum.

Well, I mean, TBF, Vince is what like 72, 73? And it's not like he's made the most logical sense in the past few years since he's been mainly behind-the-scenes.

I'd give it about 2 weeks before whatever their new plans with Del Rio fails or falls apart.

They already have Kalisto and Gran Metalik who should have been built into big stars for the Hispanic market but WWE's done a miserable job handling both guys.

and I dunno maybe its still not Kid Rock though.

Frank Drebin 03-05-2018 11:15 PM

These Heyman promos used to be gold. Now they throw him out there to yell and scream every week either solo or with Brock just standing there smiling because Brock can't cut a promo on his own for some reason. Heyman's promos are a lot of the same beats and verses. They're stale at this point because he's had to sell so many Brock matches.

I may be in the minority here, but I think all the RAW tag teams are going to job to The Bar, and then "surprise" at WrestleMania they face a called up Authors of Pain or, more likely, a debuting War Machine to get knocked off the throne.

Then you've got the COO, which is Triple H, who answers to the board, the Chairman, the Commissioner and the General Manager but can fire the General Manager and the Chairman and presumably, the Commissioner.

Then you've got the Commissioner, which is Stephanie McMahon, she oversees the General Manager, but is also answerable to the General Manager. She doesn't answer to the COO because she is also the COO, which means she can fire and be fired by the Chairman and can fire herself as Commissioner.

Then you've got the General Manager, Kurt Angle, who can book anyone in any type of match they like but can also be fired by everyone and answers directly to the Commissioner, the COO, the board and the Chairman simultaneously but also has full decision making autonomy on hiring and firing.

So, you basically have four layers of power that are all answer to and are answerable to each and oh shit, I've just solved quantum entanglement...

This could be the greatest post in the history of our sport.

It was. This close to WM, I think I'm expecting a little more out of these though. I dunno if I'm waiting for a surprise or a "moment" to sell WM.

And yeah, damninator, I get why Brock can't cut lengthy solo promos, but why he can't do 15% of one with Heyman doing the rest is silly. Heyman can't sell every single Brock match on his own. I know Brock can't be at every show, but there has to be another way to do it.

Anybody Thrilla 03-06-2018 06:50 AM

I think that they did a good job of establishing direction. The moments should be coming fast and furious now, the first probably being Roman and Brock's face-to-face next week.

slik 03-06-2018 09:51 AM

I don't have any complaints about RAW. Things moved in the right direction.
SD on the other hand has been a mess lately.


I could see WM's final card looking something like

Braun vs Brock vs Roman
Finn vs Rollins vs Miz
Ronda/Kurt vs Steph/HHH
Alexa vs Nia
Asuka vs Charlotte
Andre Battle Royal
Sasha vs Bayley
Cruiserweights Title Final
AJ vs Nakamura
Cena vs Undertaker

I'm not really sure what they are doing with The Bar on the RAW side....meanwhile on the SD side of things I'd like to see the Uso's finally get their WM match...and IDK what they'll do with these guys, a ladder match for the U.S. belt or Andre Battle Royal participants maybe (Orton, Roode, Dolph, Corbin, Sami, KO, Jinder) ?

Anybody Thrilla 03-06-2018 02:57 PM

That actually sounds pretty good.

The Bar vs Mystery Team is currently rumored for the RAW tag titles.

Doesn't seem like its going to be a current team from NXT since it was also rumored this mystery team hasn't been formed yet.

Anybody Thrilla 03-06-2018 03:56 PM

Damn, that's SUPER mysterious.
