I agree Noid, it certainly felt like a classic WWE show. Which makes sense with Bruce in charge, who else could make it feel like that? I wasn't glued to the screen all three hours but pretty much everything I saw was enjoyable. I still don't care much for the women's wrestling if I'm honest. On a three hour show it just takes up time for me.

I appreciate a fresh vibe but I don't have faith that Bruce won't get burnt out soon.

I agree. Heyman made things feel fresh for a little bit (not to a major degree) when he started too. That third hour is a killer, and the women’s division may benefit from getting its own show on the WWE Network or something. There are lots of presentation and formatting issues that plague WWE just because they are stubborn.

Christian is back!? And then written off in the same episode? :eek:

Allowing him to take The Punt is surely a good sign of a full return, right?

Could we get an E&C reunion down the line?

God, hopefully not.


Edge is already broken and Christian has always been horrible.

Was happy that you came back drave, but..... now I'm gonna have to say please go away and never return.

Christian is the man, and has always been the better of the two, and pretty "sickening" how Edge ended up with all the glory and not Christian.....

I’m not sure Christian is back-back. Seems like an angle. But Edge and Daniel Bryan have both proven there are ways. Christian has basically said that even if he could get back he’s not sure he’d want to. But WWE can pay a lot more money now. And that stuff on Raw was great. Christian forever.

This is not the first time I have said this. You are pooping too much LJ.

Watching the segment...

Did it look like this on the actual broadcast? This freezes during the punt and makes it look blatantly edited. Of course, even if Christian were cleared (which I'm not convinced he is or that he even wants to wrestle again), I wouldn't want him taking a punt kick on his first night back anyway...but still.

They generally edit the punt for the highlight clips on YouTube.

Ah okay cheers :y:

I’d be interested in knowing whether or not he actually took the move since that’s something there’s no way they’d have him do if he wasn’t cleared.

I’m all for a Christian return.

Not sure if the Ninja outfit is a step up or down from the tablecloth. :-\

Feels like Tozawa and Giant Ninja could be the sleeper hit of 2020.

I think he needs to be called something else, though. I'm usually the first one to bitch about guys falling haphazardly into the WWE Name Generator, but Giant Ninja is way too close to something else for comfort. In some circles (like craigslist posts), it already is a euphemism for exactly that.

my guess is (without watching the video) they freeze the punt the same way they freeze chairshots to the head in past footage?

I don’t see anything wrong with Giant Ninja myself. It’s simple and to the point.

The issue will come when Vince randomly decides he needs to change to a single name. You can’t really use Giant as there’s already been one, so that just leaves Ninja, and we’ve already got a Nia Jax so it’s too similar. :shifty:
