Says the IWC

In Reality:

"Hey you know this guy who worked here for a long time, he is doing something really cool, and we thought we would congratulate him on his success".

ohhhh yea

Love Ambrose

Oh yes,yes they do.

I bet somebody spent 10 bucks to see the new bond movie just because Big Dave is in it

what does this prove again?

Are you thinking nobody knows who Batista is in WWE?

He was pretty good in it admittedly. Even if he only has one line.

He was really good

If hilarious meant awesome. It would be an unexpected but welcome change in a company that claims anything can happen while being horribly predictable.

Stupid sexy Ambrose.

Brock ad would kick more ass though.

"When you're the beast Brock Lesnar, you suplex people...a lot. It's what you do."

Other GEICO ads I recall fondly:

Drill sergeant one always cracks me up when I check it out for old times' sake.

With a ripped vest too, how terrible.

Worried that every "injury" is legit now....

I'm not arguing that. It's just an interesting anecdote about them clearly not prepping their people who he is.

I am arguing that if you think WWE is above using a former talent's success that they had nothing to do with as a ploy for publicity and would congratulate someone selflessly, you're as dense as you like to claim everyone else is.

Even his armbar is gorgeous Maggle!

:lol: little kid trash talking Breeze

Sounds like some little kid is trash talking Tyler.

Geez that kid....

"That's what you get when you mess with Dolph Ziggler, dickwad"

Huge fan of the six year old yelling "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH DOLPH ZIGGLER" at Breeze on the outside.

WELCOME TO THE MAIN ROSTER TYLER BREEZE!

I want to adopt that kid talking smack to Breeze.

Fuck yeah 2001 Royal Rumble.

4 wins is probably the closest Breeze will ever come to the WWE Title so it's all downhill from here for him

Dunno if it was dickwad, not something I can imagine an English child screeching at someone.

Bray Wyatt's new powers apparently not powerful enough to get him into the WWE Title tournament....

WWE Creative is immune to magic.

GOT DAMN RIGHT

2k15 must've been god-awful they didn't promote the reviews for it at all.

How? Your summers are like a trilluonth of a second long!

I seem to remember it got pretty midding reviews. 60s-70s ish at best.

Kalisto shocks the world.or not

Or because 2K16 is the current edition...

*pointless British sports references continue*

This show just got 1000 times better

The Spice Girls? For fucks sake JBL.

I almost bought one of those shirts..bought a #bullfit shirt instead

I can't help it, they've been doing this on commentary from shows from the UK for like 20 years and it really, really grates. :'(

The New day has done wonders for Kofi and Big E on the mic

"Go ahead Byron, defend Harry Pott-"

"Harry Potter does not suck!"

The USOS still seem tired and rehashed

I just had a pretty horrifying image cross my mind

WHAT'S UP? MUFASA!

Stop calling our mothers hos Usos

Love The Usos

This show has been so BOOTY, that they can't even get a UK crowd to pop for Neville.

Probably need to send out Vince to berate them again, like last year.

Just caught up live, New Days great.

Wonder if they messed with the crowd levels again during editing. Might have done it last time they were in the UK.

Crowd did sound a bit low at times tonight.

#GLEEBIRDS TRENDING WORLDWIDE

I don't doubt it, but basically no one was standing or otherwise reacting visibly to Neville.

They probably had to tamper with it last November which was the height of the "WHERE'S OUR NETWORK?" fury.

WHERE DID GRAVITY GO

Probably turned off the show already.

Did Neville sort of forget he had to do something from the top rope the first time?

Looked a bit odd.

Still got some time left on this show.... Wyatt Time, I guess?

Don't know if the feet on the rope really did anything considering that Neville wasn't even struggling/moving/trying to kick out.

More Wyatt spookyness and pyro abuse time.

Nothing can save you from the special effects apocalypse Bray is about to rain down.

Really wish they would have been brave enough to totally change the Taker/Kane plans to put Wyatt in the tournament and have him win.... first opponents could be Kane & Taker and he would win against both.... Then he'd get fed to Roman Reigns again.

Odds on druids tonight....

Druids in sheep masks w/torches....

Or lanterns...

Odds that Zack Ryder's role onscreen tonight will be as a random druid....

Kinda ironic Kane & 'Taker bsing eulogized tonight considering what was happening nearly 12 years ago:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yf_8-de2U7c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That one segment with Wyatt was equal to TNA's entire budget.

There is a nugget of wisdom in that first statement Wyatt made

So your point is they should have sent out a memo to all employees with Dave's picture to make sure they all know who he is?

And then they dont really care that Dave is having a successful run with the film industry. They instead want to show a graphic of a talent they made successful to an audience who knows they made him successful and thats somehow a publicity ploy?

Seriously man, I couldn't make up people like you if I tried.

<SUP>[citation needed]</SUP>

DO IT TAKER.

Guess that soul eating didn't go so well eh?

Proof it happened again tonight. Here's Paige's actual entrance live:

He burped. You never burp after eating souls.

Bow to Wyatt, please

Missed opportunity to bring back Biker Taker and Issac Yankem considering the whole soul/power eating thing Bray did.

Either that or soul eating is like Taco Bell food in something that doesn't last long in a belly.

Cool... so Wyatt's new thing lasted a week....

No fedora on 'Taker?

Kane's wig not covering all his real hair again....

I am absolutely devastated that you don't agree with me that maybe if you're going to have a cameraman/photographer at a thing for a former talent, maybe they should know who that former talent is.

They are really protecting Stroeman. Holy Crap.

Not really making the Wyatts look like much of a threat collectively though.

Its true people will chant holy shit to anything these days.

I hope this is just WWE panicking and the original plan wasn't for Wyatt to just look strong and legit for one week only.

Crossfit Jesus died for our sins and now the world is a darker place.

Taker and Kane needed to get heat back. They are building to a match at Survivor Series.

Crowd who paid tickets to see the show seemed to be going apeshit.

Buuuuut IWC scoffs therefore it is crap.

Really, I mean they pretty much just told everyone Wyatt's a big bull shitter. All that talk about souls and shit went right out the door with a video package.

Sounds like the roof is perfectly in tact after that response.

Sounded like a nice pop for a home"town" performer.

Who knew, heels lie?

What do they need heat for? The last we knew they didn't even have a soul.

Sure, he should have. But WWE cant be accountable for everything a camerman does.

You were on about some point about WWE trying to use Bats to generate publicity. Think you fell a few yards short on that one.

All the more reason. A man without a soul is cold.

He's not your standard heel. They give him super powers for a week and have him scared to death the next. They should have played that out longer and actully had him controling Kane and Taker.

You've got your opinion and probably wouldn't be convinced even if an internal memo leaked. I've got mine because I'm calloused and suspicious. Cool.

Congrats on the gimmick. Real great contribution to the thread.

Knowing the WWE, that probably was the plan. Maybe if the UK show was next week since that is the go-home show for Survivor Series it would get stretched out a bit.

Feel like whatever they explain for the sudden return of Taker & Kane's power or how Bray lost it will be really dumb.
