jesus WEP posted:they’re gonna have baron corbin beat up farty the slowman on smackdown next week just to show how not shook they are That's going to be the plan today, but by Friday Vince will have forgotten why he demanded a snowman costume be made for Smackdown and will change it to Corbin getting speared by Roman dressed as a snowman before getting beaten up by six heels with no reason for them to be working together.

Cerebral Bore posted:TBF a couple of years ago you could have said the same thing about Cody Rhodes. You could say the same thing about Cody until about 6 months ago and the Dustin match and be mostly right. But even then I'd argue Cody's in-ring highs in WWE were higher than Wyatt's. Well, from my memory, which could be faulty. But you could be right that getting to wrestle a less heavily produced style, maybe a more Southern style could well benefit Bray. Just don't make me have to sit through Kota Ibushi vs Windham Rotunda. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Dec 2, 2019 |

Lid posted:I cant recall a single WWE Cody match that i have compared to Bray v Daniel Bryan Yeah, actually I'll give you that. And there was a Cena match that is probably also above anything Cody did. Do have a fondness for a tag match in 2013 with Goldust against Rollins and Reigns. And he was in some good Money In The Bank and Elimination Chamber matches but I don't think they should count. Okay, I'll rephrase. I think Cody's base consistency level was a bit higher than Bray but the more I think the more I come to the idea that there's probably not many wrestlers in the WWE who couldn't be rehabilitated with some time and good booking and playing to his strengths.

Some new trademarks were filed by some workers: Charlotte applied for Ashley Flair (combination of her real name and ring name), and "The Queen of Wrestling". Andrade applied for "El Idolo" and "La Sombra".

Intruder posted:What if they get the title off Bray by having him come out in the sweater and be easily beaten I think what will happen will be a version of this, where someone rips the mask off mid-match reverting him back to FunHouse Bray.The spot will then get repeated forever until we hate it. It’s like in comics where Batman always beats Bane by ripping out his venom tubes or the X-Men beat Juggernaut by removing his helmet.

I would be very excited to see La Sombra back and free. Not sure where Charlotte would work outside of WWE, I guess by default AEW.

I would be curious as hell how WWE would react if Charlotte just decided to leave one day and work in another promotion. Would WWE do nothing, or would they get incredibly spiteful and push another woman past 10x title reigns in record time?

Charlotte leaving (which won’t happen) would be a bigger get for AEW than Moxley in terms of what she represents in WWE. It would be on a similar level as Roman, Becky or Brock leaving.

jesus WEP posted:Charlotte is a lot better than Britt in literally every way Lol their promo work is equally lovely but even then, Britt comes off as less of a robot than Charlotte. And in-ring, Charlotte has declined quite a bit and while I'd say she's better right now, the idea that she's "a lot" better seems like a reach to me.

I think if you took Charlotte out of the WWE system and put her into AEW she'd probably be better than almost all the non-joshi's right now (though Swole and Stat for sure have the potential to pass her).

Everything they've ever done, including letting Randy beat Lesnar's youngest Undisputed Champion useless stat tells me they'd do everything they can to make you forget Charlotte. And If she did leave that would be great. A Flair would rather be anywhere else making money for anyone else other than the WWE and for a McMahon.

Wooow they did "card subject to change" on a frickin 60 minute show? How do you replace a Last Man Standing match with a 5 min match with one guy changed and a run-in DQ? Reminder, Vince says he hates promising matches he can't deliver. How am I disappointed in Starrcade, my expectations couldn't have been set any lower jesus WEP posted:The Wyatt/Reigns tag team was the greatest thing that never really came to be It coulda got Roman over in 2016, which is INSANE.

If anything, all they needed to do was have Rusev come in, beat Lashley with the chair, have KO win. They can't even do that. It's just to set up a stupid Chairs match at TLC
