Wait they really had Hogan cut a promo against Keith Lee? Lmao

Is Alexa Bliss a charred corpse?

When Morrison signed a year or so ago I remember being intrigued about what he could do in a final run, since I enjoyed a lot of his work elsewhere. I also didn't mind him teaming with The Miz again, it made sense to reintroduce him that way.

From everything I've read the past few months, it sounds like they occasionally team up but it's mostly Miz as a solo guy with Morrison as his hype man. Baffling.

Naw, you are forgetting about Melina doing the "Lucha Lucha Lucha" thing, cause you know, she is hispanic, in case we forgot :rofl:

She wasn't on the show or really mentioned so it's possible

HHH will open RAW
Drew has Covid

Jordan 01-11-2021 07:59 PM

I am going to watch for "as long as I can" but I've already got my gf committed to tolerating AEW every week and UFC nearly every Saturday night so I can't push my luck.

Jordan 01-11-2021 08:05 PM

HHH jacket is really cool. I'd like one plz.

Jordan 01-11-2021 08:11 PM

A PRICK

Jordan 01-11-2021 08:16 PM

I would rather watch Lacey Evans ride Space Mountain than HHH/Orton, I really would.

Jordan 01-11-2021 08:33 PM

I gave up at 8:21. Just felt so rehashed.

slik 01-11-2021 08:57 PM

Trying to make it thru everything but it's just 'not good'.

It feels like a show written geared towards 7 year old but their audience is mostly over 30.

For being short handed it wasn't too bad. Nothing overly great, but better than the lopsided football game.

Sepholio 01-12-2021 12:56 AM

....Did....Did she just throw a hadouken at him? Did that really happen? Maybe I am tripping. No way that happened.

Short handed? They had one guy on the shelf. It might have been the main guy but this was hardly “most the roster stuck in Saudi Arabia” or “snow storm”, both of which yielded far better results.

There’s so little effort put in. They literally repeated the same beats over and over. Ryker beat Hardy, so Hardy challenged Elias (putting aside the fact that they already ended this feud), then Lashley beat Riddle, so Riddle challenged MVP. There was a men’s tag match that ended with a blind tag, and then a women’s tag that ended with a blind tag.

There’s other stuff; the seemingly never-ending opening segment, and Gulak being told he can’t just declare for the Rumble, and it being rationalised, then Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke declaring themselves for the Rumble within 30 minutes, are the first that spring to mind.

It’s all just very “meh” given the talent they have available to them.

Evil Vito 01-12-2021 07:32 AM

Wait...are they actually trying a Dawn Marie/Torrie/Al Wilson angle with Lacey, Charlotte, and Ric Flair? lol good lord

Volare 01-12-2021 08:25 AM

5 pages from last November....says alot.

Gerard 01-12-2021 10:23 AM

So goldberg was never wwe champion according to drew? :wtf:

Evil Vito 01-12-2021 10:45 AM

He wasn’t. He’s held the World Heavyweight Title and Universal Title but never the actual WWE Title that carries all the lineage.

XL 01-12-2021 11:16 AM

They need to give Riddle a silent hetero-life-mate...

They had one guy announced as having Covid, but clearly multiple people were out. They had 4 different people wrestle 2 matches, that is not normal.

XL 01-12-2021 03:18 PM

Who’s out? Genuinely?

The only acts from the men’s side that didn’t feature from the previous week were Alexander/Benjamin, Kofi, R Truth, and Angel Garza.

So including Drew, that is 6 people.

6 > 1 still right?

That is short handed, not just one person on the shelf.

Mr. Nerfect 01-13-2021 04:59 AM

I actually want Goldberg to win the WWE Title. Just to see people’s heads explode. Has anyone won a World Title in four different decades?

Taker didn’t do it. Hogan didn’t do it. Rock didn’t do it. Triple H hasn’t done it. Flair didn’t do it. Verne didn’t do it. Thesz didn’t do it.

Goldberg being the first guy to do that sort of thing would be pretty lol. And not entirely in a bad way. It’s got this weirdly epic story to it — the “flash in the pan” and WCW man of the 90’s comes back and kicks ass enough time to make the ultimate stamp of longevity.

If you’re going to lean on older stars, it makes sense to have them hit some major achievements too. And given that they’re in such a period of overexposure for their full-time guys, it’s far from the silliest move for the immediate future.

Give me Goldberg beating Drew and then getting his win back at Mania against Braun Strowman. If you want to go big gimmick with it, because fuck it, do a four-way with Orton and Trips. Orton wants to kill the ultimate legend, Triple H wants the same achievement, Braun beat Goldberg last year. Goldberg Spears them all into oblivion. Or just make them singles matches throughout the year. There’s a story in each. Goldberg then drops the belt to someone actually special that comes along.

XL 01-13-2021 07:26 AM

What would you do with Drew alongside that?

Yes 6 is more than 1. Good “gotcha”.

My point more so was what they delivered was “meh”. Regardless of being short-handed they didn’t need to have those 4 guys wrestle twice, they didn’t need to repeat the setups/finishes to matches in the way that they did.

Let’s pretend that they used literally everybody at their disposal on Monday, they could have put it all together in a more entertaining way, but, you could say that when they have the full roster on hand.

It's not a gotcha, it's a reply to your reply. I said they were short handed, you said it was one person, then you listed 5 other people.

XL 01-13-2021 02:36 PM

And we could go through how much/little each of those people add to the show but we don’t need to because my overall point is valid; the show was “meh”.

Alexa Bliss vs Asuka announced for RAW

RP 01-18-2021 08:45 PM

Didnt Alexa Bliss get torched by Randy Orton? Did they even close that storyline out?
